Drago Ryder

Gale tilted her head in thought in response to Midnight’s question, though there wasn’t much that she thought might interest the pony. Being one if the few dragons that actively travelled outside their territories was a rather odd occurence, and it settled a good bit of attention on her during those rare occasions where she was within the walls of any settlement. Still, that didn’t mean that she wouldn’t at least try to give him a satisfactory answer. “I’ve been traveling for about eight years now, though I’ve tended to focus more on survival than anything else, though I do enjoy a few of the myths this world has to offer. I also came across a few tribes a year ago that lived in almost complete harmony with nature on an island to the north. They were one of the few groups that had a... peaceful reaction to my presence.”

Gale wasn’t really surprised by the fact that the dragons Midnight had encountered were larger than her, as such a thing had been the case in her original home. She had always been on the smaller side compared to the other dragons, though none were like her to begin with. For all she knew, she could be on the larger side when it came to her own species. “That sounds about right. Sir and Mohotma also sound like good beings, and it’s always good to have friends whenever you can.” Aside from a few she had growing up, the dragoness didn’t really have any that immedietly came to mind, though such relationships might have helped her in some instances over the course of her travels.

Gale raised a brow in slight curiosity when she was informed about the new empire. She couldn't recall ever visiting such a place before, though that could easily change one day if she were lucky to find the way. Most of the time, she just went wherever the wind took her. It was also interesting that such a civilization would not have to rely on slaves for the more menial tasks, but that was merely encouragement for her to do such a thing, if anything. "Either way, I'm sure you know more about the world than most individuals could even dream of. What were your traveling companions and the dragons that you studied with like?" 

“I suppose they’ll always need some way to make a bit extra in life, even at the cost of someone else’s. Still, I’m sure that you’ll have a few good adventures at some point, though it is also good to relax every once in a while.” Granted, she couldn’t really say much due to her own habits, but that was besides the point. “What have you studied so far over the course of your travels?”

An idea then popped into Gale’s head, though it was a rather unusual thing for her. They seemed to be on their own at the moment, and travelling alone could be both deadly to one’s health in this day and age, and rather dull if nothing of importance was occurring. Still, perhaps it would be better to wait until the conversation progressed a little further before posing that question.

Gale gave a light nod, though he didn't exactly seem like the kind one would think of as a criminal. If anything, he was more of a hero for freeing slaves with another individual than anything else. "Well, you don't have to worry about me turning you in for such a thing." Still, he seemed a lot younger than the time he had described, though that might have to do with whatever abilities he might have been given to him at birth. For now, she would let him be the one to divulge such information if he wished.

Gale couldn't help but let a light giggle escape her lips at Midnight's reaction, though she was also a bit surprised that he wasn't afraid of what he had witnessed. Granted, that was probably because he lived with dragons for a extended period of time, but that was besides that point. "Thanks. I never really thought that it was based in any sort of magic, though I suppose that is a possibility."

Either way, the dragoness merely shook her head at his concerns, a gentle smile gracing her lips. "I don't mind at all. That sort of thing is good to have in most cases, though perhaps it would only be fair that you tell me a bit more about yourself. I'm sure you've had quite a few adventures over the years."

Honestly, it wouldn't have surprised Gale if she were the last of her kind as well, but she was still unaware of whether or not such was the case. Either way, she simply nodded in response to Midnight's words before moving on to the question posed to her. She didn't exactly know what the purpose of such line of dialogue was, but it probably wouldn't hurt to at least divulge some information about herself to him.

"I don't mind at all, though there isn't really much aside from my appearance. My flight speed is faster than most dragons my size, and I can use echolocation in order to find my way in caves and other such environments. As for my fire, I suppose it would just be best to demonstrate it." With that being said, the dragoness took aim at a decently sized stone and let gas build within her body. After a few seconds, a shaped charged of purple fire exited her mouth and exploded into a small fireball upon impact. She didn't exactly want to draw attention to them, but it would probably be enough for the pony next to her.

Gale gave a light nod in response to Midnight’s words, though it surprised her that he would notice such a detail, let along bring it up. Of course,mshe was also rather curious as to what type of pony he was now, though such a question would not be proper at the given time.“For the most part, yes. I don’t really have much in the way of memories when it comes to my biological parents, though I am sorry that you had experience the same situation.” While she did have other dragons to help raise her, she had always assumed that she experienced some mutation rather than actually being a completely different type all together. It wasn’t until she found out about that difference that she started wandering the world. 

Gale, now feeling a bit more relaxed with the conversation, moved to lay on the ground near her rather unexpected conversation partner. It wasn’t as if she had any pressing matters to take care of anyway, and it would have been rather rude to simply end it there. “I guess the best description for the type of dragon I am would be a Night Fury.” It was something she had sort of come up with on her travels in order to answer that sort of question, though she could easily be wrong about such a thing. After all, much like Midnight, she had yet to meet another of her kind either, though she didn’t really know if she could have divulged such information to him. 

While the dragoness could have guessed that he knew some of her people’s language, she did not expect such a clear response. Sure, there might have been some mistakes here and there, but he could hardly be blamed for such a thing if he took the time to learn it. Judging by his voice, they sounded like they were relatively close in terms of age, though she didn’t really concern herself with that fact at the time. Either way, a gentle smile spread across her lips as she nodded in response to the question posed to her. “I have been for quite some time now. I’ve always been a bit curious about the world since I was but a hatchling, though it has been hard at times.” Aside from a lack of any permanent residence, the winter months in some regions forced her to find what little shelter might be available and hibernate until the warmth of a spring breeze blew across her scales, lest she freeze to death in their cold grip.

It was at that moment that she came to the realization that neither knew the other’s name, and figured that it would be best if such a thing were fixed before continuing on. At the very least, it would give her a name to identify the strange pony by. “I don’t believe that we have ever met before. You may call me Gale.” It might not have been the best way to go about such a thing, but it wasn’t every day that she got to interact with another individual.

Gale gave a light groan as she slowly woke from her slumber underneath on of the larger trees bordering the clearing. The dragoness had flown for most of the night, simply wandering and getting whatever she needed to survive from the environment. It wasn’t exactly the best life, but there never seemed to be a good place for her to stay as a permanent residence. Moving to stand, the dragoness stretched the tired muscles in her legs and wings to prepare for whatever the day might bring, though it wasn’t until Midnight’s scent reached her by wind that she noticed his presence.

The scent itself was rather strange, being a mixture of multiple species that inhabited the world, though dragon and pony were the only two that she could immediately recognize. Either way, she was rather curious as to why someone like him might be in the area, considering how isolated it was from any civilization that she was aware of. Slowly, the dragoness walked towards the edge of the river and lowered her head in order to drink. At the very least, it would help to at least sate her own needs before interacting with the pony. If he did spend time with dragons, then perhaps the two of them could communicate with one another. “I didn’t expect to see anyone so far from any city. Are you a traveller?”

So, I think I might have just found a base for an upgraded version of Ryu’s hero outfit.

Yeah, at least for the initial transformation. In this case, the energy would be provided by the lightning, though it would still hurt Ryu, along with any other element Mamoru has at his disposal, more than it would give him a power boost. The idea itself sort of came at random, so I might end up scrapping it overall.

Oh, I just figured that getting hit with a large amount of energy might jumpstart Ryu’s transformation as a potential alternative to a high stress situation, though it would certainly be a bit more painful for him overall.

@Dynamo Pad

Out of curiosity, is Mamoru capable of manipulating electricity?

Shoot, that’s the one thing I forgot to do. I’ll shoot them a PM now. 

As Ryu heated up a pre-packaged chicken and noodle bowl in the provided microwave oven, he watched as the other teens interacted with each other on one of the provided couches, though it did seem that some had already chosen to go into their rooms. It was a reasonable decision, as they had all only just now finished their first day at the one of the top schools in the country. Relaxing in their own personal space would certainly help to ease whatever tension such a thing might have caused, even if very little had actually occurred at all.

With that in mind, the primary conversation that took his interest was the one between Wolf and Mamoru, if only for the sheer amount of information provided. It was also amazing that they could have such energy when speaking with one another, though he figured it would be best to wait a few days to see how the relationship between them turned out. He would certainly help the kitsune in getting going further than that of a mere friendship with Wolf if he wanted such a thing, though doing anything too drastic right at the start would only serve to make things far too complicated for his liking. If everything worked out, however, then unnecessary drama would be avoided, the two would probably be happier than they were before, and none would know of his overall involvement other than that of a simple adviser/messenger.

Once his food was warmed sufficiently, the dragon based quirk user grabbed the bowl with one hand, not really caring for the notable temperature of the ceramic bowl itself, and a pair of chopsticks with the other. After a brief mental debate on the benefits of staying over holing up in his room, Ryu simply sat on the same couch as Mamoru, leaving a good bit of space between them, and proceeded to eat his meal. While he was content with listening in silence for the time being, he might join the conversation if they would let him.

and the chaos with it and ohh no spoiler than 

It’d only be a spoiler if I revealed who it was exactly 

@Canteen_the_unstable

By the way, you’re up to post. You still have a day or two left, though. No rush.

Unless make it a secret admirer and then it’ll cause a huge misunderstanding because Wolf will think Ryu have a crush on her . That would be funny. 

Oh, I didn’t even think about that possibility, and I could only imagine the drama that might ensure. The best part is that he could easily attempt that sort of relationship with her, but he’s basically sacrificing his happiness for Mamoru’s. Granted, I already have a love interest in mind for him, but that’s besides the point.

Eh, I might have had an idea where Ryu breaks into their room and drops off a few gifts that Wolf might like with a letter containing Mamoru’s signature and handwriting. If he just gives the gifts to Wolf, then he’ll say that they were from the kitsune himself and act as if he were a simple messenger..

Yeah, though I suppose he could just say that it was Mamoru’s idea to begin with or something. I’ll just have to wait and see how the rp plays out. Either way, I can certainly see the three of them becoming friends because of all of this. 

Yeah. All I'll say at the moment is that he'll certainly need some heavy duty scent killer to get past Wolf's nose.

Ryu the matchmaker?  now that’s something.

Oi, Ryu may be a bit rough around the edges, but he does have a softer side. 

Yeah. He’ll probably start off with gentle, discrete nudges here and there before resorting to drastic measures. Of course, that’s assuming all other plans fail. No one finding out it was him that set them up will just be a secondary objective.

Meanwhile, Ryu is just watching the chaos and coming up with ways on how to get Wolf and Mamoru together.
