[MEME] HOT DATE

[wolfintheattic]

WIN MY MUSE'S HEART IN 20 COMMENTS OR LESS

How to play:

Reply to one of my characters' headers (you don't have to respond to the flavortext) and put a 1 in your subject line! I'll reply with a 2 and so on. We'll count them down to 20. Then the date is over! Time to swap seats! Where is this date taking place? It doesn't really matter! This scenario is bendable to most game settings. AU's are also available, feel free to contact me or ask OOCly before we start counting down comments. Or it could just take place in the void or some Cosmic Denny's! The point of this meme is to test out chemistry or just watch hilarity unfold!

And who knows, you might get to go home with someone!

Go get 'em, tiger!

I think my horns and tail are my best features, but thank you. [He smiles back, said tail thumping happily behind him.]

But...i suppose its hard for a human out of his element. Here, maybe this will help.

[And, without the usual ceremony he usually would use, his whole body seemed to curl in on himself, wings tight before the form they were connected to shrunk inside their folds, wings themselves shrinking into nothingness into the now human form across from Maurice. Human Hannacross is much smaller than his true form.

He rolls his shoulders experimentally and straightens the magenta cloak over then, beaming at him with his dangerous blue eyes and less dangerous smile.] There, that should make it easier for you!

<sub>[It finally happened. The big pink monstrosity suddenly warping and imploding in on himself was enough to do it. With a startled whistle, Maurice surged backwards, banged a front knee on the underside of the table, and reared, staggering backwards and sitting squarely on the chair of the table behind them. Crushing it.]

[Luckily, he was too dazed to take off running. His ears flip forward, then back. Forward, then back.]</sub>

Sorry! Sorry about that it just kinda happens.

_{[He remembers Hannacross straight up telling him that he didn't choose how to look. He just...switched. Maurice slowly picks himself up and gingerly trots back to their table, leaning over it and inspecting this new shape.]}

That was...that was really cool!

_{[He's seen a LITTLE magic thanks to living in the hometree but...he'd never had it shown off just for him!]}

You're a lot smaller than I imagined.

[While he wouldnt feel quite as bad, hes glad that no one is hurt in the process and rights the table as Maurice trots back over. He leans on it and grins. Horses. So cute when they got scared. The whistle might have been loud but it was practically music to his ears. Hanna was not the best predator around, but he felt great when he got reactions like he was. He was a good, great dragon and he could be scary and intimidating when he tried.] It's okay, im used to it.

[He lies smoothly, examining sharp fingernails as casual as can be. Though he'll look up when Maurice's compliment is not...quite a compliment.] I'm not exactly large for a dragon. Though most of the strength is still there. Takes a lot to get hundreds of pounds of scales off the ground.

[Okay, he might be pouting. Not feeling so predatory any more.]

[horseproblems]

You're the biggest dragon I've ever seen.

_{[Maurice says this matter-of-factly, ears forward, suddenly quite sure of himself.]}

[humblehorde]

Am I the...only dragon you've ever seen?

[He's now curious again, lost his pout. Obviously he'd be impressed if he was. Dragons were inherently impressive if their history did anything for them.]

[horseproblems]

_{[Maurice thinks back to the tiny lizard hatched from one of the mysterious eggs that had caused a lot of trouble around the home tree some time back.]}

Yes!

_{[It had wings. It was a dragon ok.]}

But...that's still cool. I wish I could do that. I look like something out of Conan but I don't have any magic at all.

[humblehorde]

[Hanna doesnt know how to preen like this. He's almost lost for a moment before he just tries to stand a little taller and beam.] Well, it has some down sides to it. Cant be amazing without a few trying to put your head on a wall, but i suppose i get by just fine.

You said...mechanic before, correct? I imagine thats a little like magic. You mend metal machines. A sort of healing.

[horseproblems]

_{[As Hanna speaks, Maurice's ears swivel, as though he's lost in thought over something.]}

They're just jealous...oh! Uh! Yeah--I fix, y'know. Trucks. Cars. It's not really that different from putting a broken chair back together. You just have a higher chance of getting your hand burned.
