[reverentresistance]

Good evening.

[Ky smiles at the Vine, polite and distant.]

Is there anything I can do around here that would be productive?

Besides petting the cats or building simply for the sake of building...

[As a police officer she was used to being far more busy. Not that she wished for more crime, but she did need a better way to occupy herself than just going through the library. The contents of which were...questionable. She'd gone exploring, but in the places where she felt she might learn something from her senses tingled with the threat of unnecessary danger. That hadn't stopped her, but she wanted something more.]

Alternatively, does anyone wish to talk about the world they come from? Or what they do there?

[As a temporary distraction it might mean something, and perhaps she would learn a useful fact or two.]

[The smile, formal as it had been, drops off of her face, and she ends that message to filter a different one to Dizzy.]

Dizzy. I want to apologize. In person if you're alright with it -- I can meet you somewhere.

[cleaningstop]

Er... that's good, I suppose!

[she doesn't understand. at all.]

[reverentresistance]

Not as good as if it were destroyed, but it is in a static state, and not presently a threat to anyone.

[cleaningstop]

What's going to happen to it now? Is it just going to stay where it is?

[reverentresistance]

It might in the future be destroyed but for now, yes. It isn't conscious in any way, but it's too bit to move.

[cleaningstop]

I have to admit, I've never even heard of a dragon being as dangerous as that.

[at least something managed to stick in that head of hers.]

[reverentresistance]

It's part machine and genetically engineered. It's not a...natural dragon, not that those existed in my world.

[cleaningstop]

No natural dragons? At all?

[that just sounds... wrong!]

[reverentresistance]

...Of course not.

[cleaningstop]

I-I see... I suppose it's not something you'd just expect to see, ahaha.

[reverentresistance]

Do you...have natural dragons?

[cleaningstop]

I-I've never met any, but I've heard... stories. Yes!

[awfully nervous there, meiling]

[reverentresistance]

Oh?

[Ky pauses, curious.]

What sort of stories?

[cleaningstop]

Such as... a god that was worshiped by many!

[reverentresistance]

A...dragon god?

[cleaningstop]

Or so I've heard.

[reverentresistance]

Do you worship this...alleged god?

[cleaningstop]

I would say so, but not as actively as I would like. [meiling's schedule is full of slacking off, you know.]

[reverentresistance]

[Ky's not okay with slacking off, but she's also not okay with idol worship. So she goes a little stiff and formal.]

I see.

[cleaningstop]

I'm usually busy serving the Mistress and keeping a close watch for any intruders.

[ha.]

[reverentresistance]

The...Mistress?

[cleaningstop]

Yes, there's no one else like her and I'm very happy to be her devoted gatekeeper and gardener!

[and slacker.]

[reverentresistance]

You devote yourself to a person, rather than an idea or ideal?

[cleaningstop]

She's a part of my family.

They all are.

[reverentresistance]

'They'? What do you mean by that?

[cleaningstop]

I live with more than just my Mistress...?
