Sarah Chiang (Original Character)

[decking]

[Congratulations. You are now the unfortunate proud owner of an angry teenage girl in a hooded sweatshirt, bike shorts, and sneakers.]

Hey, you! Where do you think you're going?! I'm talking to you...!

Huh? Oh! I must apologize, I didn't hear you.

[Flicker stopped in mid-reverse-enginnering and glances up at the voice]

[decking]

[uh]

[wait]

Wh-what the hell are you? What kind of screwed up place is this?!

[fightforhonorandnopay]

[He stands up, and noticing a spot of oil on his armor, he tries to rub it off, only to get it on his hand]

Ah-ha, whoops.

[Flicker glances around, and ends up wiping his hand off on his tail]

I'm a Dragon - and as what this strange, undoubtedly enchanted place is, your guess is just as good as mine.

SORRY I'LL STOP EDITING

[decking]

A dragon? You're seriously a dragon?!

[Well, this is quickly killing her hopes of getting home by introducing the correct people to her fist.]

Holy crap, this is right out of a bad straight-to-TV movie!

[fightforhonorandnopay]

[He spreads his wings, while trying very hard to hide the confused annoyance out of his voice]

I have scales, my wings, and I can breathe fire - but I rather not since oil is actually quite flammable and I just de-ashed my armor yesterday.

[beat]

What is a Teh-Vee?

[decking]

[no]

[no...!]

[no!!]

Don't tell me this place doesn't even have television...!

[fightforhonorandnopay]

If it does - I can't exactly tell you since I really have no idea what you are talking about.

[He rubs his chin thoughtfully]

[decking]

[She just assumed his lack of knowledge means there aren't any, but when he puts it like that... She makes herself relax some.]

Uh, um... [... ... ...Is she really going to explain what a television is to a dragon? The answer is apparently yes.] It's something that has a screen, [she gestures in the shape of a rectangle] and you can use it to watch things, like movies or TV shows.

[fightforhonorandnopay]

Oh! So it's a device one could use to remotely view plays? Ingenious! I imagine the square shape would prevent the sensation of wall-eye a crystal ball may cause.

[decking]

Uh, well, yeah, kinda. Usually, the stuff you see on television is recorded first, though, so it's not like you're watching live actors.

[...]

So, is...this place filled with dragons?

[It's an important question to ask, all right. If it's full of dragons, that means she was probably kidnapped to be eaten, so she'll have to hightail it out of here at the earliest opportunity.]

[fightforhonorandnopay]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only Dragon here. Everyone else here is a human.

[decking]

...Huh? But that's...

[Headscratch. Honestly now, the idea that she had been kidnapped by dragons as a snack was so much easier for her to accept.]

...But that doesn't make any sense. Look, are you a native or something?

[fightforhonorandnopay]

I don't think anyone here is. I gathered from some of the other humans that the whole city was pretty much empty.
