You had a teacher like that once.


You consider how to react to yet another weird person showing up today. You want to see Daatra as soon as possible, but this... guy? Girl? They could lead to vastly increasing your hoard with very loyal and devoted new friends. It could also be an opportunity to get a better idea on how the world views dragons.

Rather than pick the first idea that comes to mind, you mull over your choices. You'll need to pick one primary option and one secondary option. The primary choice is what you want most, and the secondary choice is what you'd want should your main choice prove unpopular to the rest of your uh, neurons.

[Be sure to make it obvious which choice is PRIMARY, and which is SECONDARY. You can also 'talk' to Ceri, or give her secondary actions like what to say, or something minor to try.]


What will you say/ask?
A: "What's your name and also gender? Introduce yourself like a dragon would."
B: "What kind of magic can a fire dragon use?" Time for a trick question!
C: "How delicious is a dragon's egg?" Hee hee...
D: "What would you say if you could talk to a dragon right this moment?" Hehehe...
E: "Share with me this 'fantasy' of yours..." You collect kinks like jewelry.
F: Turn into a dragon again it'll blow his mind. Less talk! More action!

A and B. This will give us a grounding on what their knowledge of Dragons is. As a fellow Expert on Dragons you should of course be interested in their perspective and knowledge. It might not impress or tease, but it’ll give you a foundation of shared interests to base your relationship on - BEFORE you blow their mind (and other things).

Of course, a bonus question must be asked - what kind of dragon are you ‘morphing to be like right now? (Realistic answer: Water dragon. True answer: whatever kind of dragon you WANT to be, cuz’ you’re a dragon.)

A thought: as valid as getting offended might seem, this weirdo is approaching you for a good reason. It’s the point they’re (deliberately or accidentally) trying to make, really.

You’re broadcasting to the world through your looks that you have an interest in dragons - at least to anyone with a more than passing familiarity to them. To this avid fanclubber you’re a fellow fangirl - currently in fangirl mode, because who has the mana to go around heavily poly’d all day, right? - which gives them a reason to plow ahead with a devil-may-care attitude. ‘s what a dragon would have done, isn’t it? Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t get indignant - but you shouldn’t act too indignant or surprised this is happening. It is, after all, your life now... and you’ve arguably done more brazen introductions, hem.

"fan" comes from "fanatic". Fans can be fun, or dangerous. And engaging with a whole group of fans means you'll likely get some of the latter. It's really easy to imagine ways that could go horribly wrong.

So, first of all, a write-in, perhaps to accompany option F if need be to get the point across: "Suppose, hypothetically, you were actually talking to a dragon. Leaving aside the part where you keel over in shock and fangasm, I'm hoping you would react with a modicum more respect than this. Because someone who reacts to an actual dragon by getting up in their personal space and poking at their parts seems like someone who doesn't have great aspirations for a long and healthy lifespan. So, you want me to play along? Then try again, with the respect you'd actually give a dragon. Let that be your question."

If they're actually willing to play along with that, then try option E, while still in full-sized dragon form. See how they react. And tease them like crazy with the idea that they might actually get it if they earn it.

If they're not willing to play along with that, then let that be your question for them, and move on.

You raise a hand to your-- oh hi there tail it's kinda neat that your fin goes out more than it used to! Can't wait to see what it eventually looks like...

"Hmhm~ If you could talk to a dragon, say, literally right this second, what would you say?"

They step back, finally giving you some space. "Hmm. Mind if I pretend you're a dragon as I answer this?"

"That's kind of a stretch but okay!" Hahah...

"Miss dragon, I'm such a big fan! I spent my entire life admiring you and your kind. I used to think you were perfect, but then a very peculiar woman I met at the mall gave me the mental image of you tripping over your mighty talons. The others in our club had a pretty big laugh about it! You should go into comedy!"

It finally happened. The 'consequences' from your mall adventure have finally shown themselves. It's much worse than you could ever have imagined.

He/she/they/ze/zhe/fengshui lets out a deep laugh. "Maybe I wouldn't say that part if you were an actual dragon."

You grin with such intensity that it's a good thing your teeth are as tough as your claws. "Yes. A dragon would probably eat you for that."

"Almost certainly! Hehehe."

With that done, you turn to the next very important topic that you can't believe wasn't an option last time.

"But you're not a mammal."

"That doesn't mean-- look, some people don't like being touched by complete strangers!"

"Aww. Well, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable! We dragon fans need to stick together. Here, take this card. If you ever need a place to feel welcome, just come to this address. You can also come to me if you ever need someone good at navigating caves, as spelunking is another of my passions. Not a cave system within 200km I don't have memorized!"

You put the DRAGON FANS UNITED BUSINESS CARD in your backpack. "Okay cool now if you'll excuse me-- wait what was that last part?"

"Heehee, I study cave maps in my spare time. Partly because that's where you often find dragons."

You seriously doubt that, but... hmm. If you want to investigate the strong source of magic Eezeryh mentioned earlier, someone knowledgeable about cave systems could be handy to have around.

There are two PATHS you could take here. PATHS are a general theme that multiple options fall under, allowing you to agree on a general idea or action, if not the exact way that action is taken. Your PRIMARY VOTE decides which PATH you'd like to go down.

It's often a good idea to use your SECONDARY VOTE to choose an option from the opposite PATH, since the losing path has all its primary votes dropped and secondary votes considered.

[Path of the hoard...]
Time to welcome another hoard member, at least long enough to check out the cave to the north...


A: Ask them if they'd be interested in helping you through a cave. Convenient!
B: Ask them if they'd like to join your club. You mean hoard. Maybe you should talk it up as a superior dragon club?
C: Tell them you'll visit the club later. Maybe you can learn something from them... and it'd be nice to talk to people as obsessed with dragons as you are. This person isn't actually all that wrong about you being a dragon fangirl...

[Path of pretending you can turn away a Patreon Character...]
Is that too on the nose? Either way, you'd really like to visit Daatra and worry about whatever this is later!

D: Throw a Dildo at them and flee. Do we even need other options? This is already the perfect choice.
E: Throw Siphon at them and flee. ?
F: Just ignore them and walk off. They're not forced into your party just yet, dammit.

B If you are wanting their aid in exploring a cave it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to invite them into the hoard anyway.

EIgnoring them and throwing a dildo at them are both rather rude. Besides they will probably get along with Siphon, since they both seem to not care about this thing called personal space.

You've had recent experience with the utility of slimelubricants and tight spots. Maybe they're wearing a slime suit / using slime magics(?) not just because that's their magic and it's easy to mold, but because it also helps them squeeze through narrow passages while they spelunk?

I'm leery to just outright invite them on the cave expedition, since, y'know, the POSSIBLE ACTUAL DRAGON / POWERFUL MAGIC SOURCE. It would be irresponsible to bring this stranger into danger - but asking them for advice might be good.

Anyway, getting in touch with a number of people who like, admire or even (attempt to) study dragons should be enlightening, so C what that club's all about! [b]B[/]ut at least mention you have your own gang of friends that you hang with.

Wait a minute, if she's informed you're a real dragon she'll never give you a moments rest, she'll tell her club and they'll never give you a moments rest, then the club may post things online and then people won't believe them but it will attract crazy people and trolls who won't give you a moments rest!

"Huh? I told you over CPS..."

"You said a lot of words really fast something about dragons?"

You sigh harder, and slowly explain the situation to Siphon. She smiles the whole time, making you wonder if she legit didn't understand you or if she's having a little fun.

Huff.... huff....

You really need... to exercise more... and... wear a sports bra before running... ow... sensitivity both blessing... and curse...

You take a moment to collect your breath. Okay. No worrying or panicking. No rambling. You're going to go in, say what you need to say, and await the hug of a lifetime.

Lifting the weight of the world, you bring your hand up. Through great adversity, you manage to knock on the door.

"Yeah, she decided to go visit her grandparents for a couple weeks. Gave me a real nice gift first, heh. Was a bit worried she'd miss her boyfriend, but she said it'd be fine, so I mean, it's probably fine, yeah? Anyway, here ya go."

"thanks..."

You've recovered the OUTFIT OF DESTINY.

Weeks... enough time for resentment to grow. For nagging thoughts to become perceived reality.

You can't let this happen.

"So she's on a boat now?" you ask.

"Yeah, imagine she'll be on it for a while yet. Pretty far from nowhere'sville to somewhere'sville! Hahaha."

You barely even acknowledge the powerful Dad Joke that was just tossed your way.

"What's the boat look like?" you ask.

"Oh, 'bout yey big," he motions with his hands in a way that isn't very helpful, "bright red color, engine powered."

"...Which way is it headed?"

"Hmm? You're not thinkin' of runnin' after it, are you? You'd have'ta be one hell of a swimmer to catch up with a boat going 20 knots! You'd get knots trying! Hehehehe."

"....good one"

"You always did have a love of book learnin'. Probably want to see where she is on a map, yeah? She'll be goin' south, eventually taking the western fork. After that... er... heh, I always forget what the next step is. Good thing I'm not a boat pilot!"

Argh... Even if you had snubbed that strange lizard, you wouldn't have gotten here in time. In deciding to help Kharadra, you...

No. No regrets. The situation is what it is, and you should focus on what to do next.


[Path of haste...]
No time to waste. Until her boat reaches the fork, you only need to follow the river to find Daatra. After that it'd be a 50/50 shot at best.

A: It's time to bird up. You're not fantastic at flying, but you have to try.
B: Engage weird dragon energy wings. You risk being seen, but maybe they hold a power a bird lacks?
C: To the river. Your AQUATIC FORM is especially good at swimming quickly. It might be slower than flying,
but it's a speed you can count on.
D: Dragon form. If you don't hold back, you might be able to go faster still.

[Path of caution...]
Delaying risks letting the boat reach the fork, but is it wise to run off without a plan?

E: Try to get more information from Daatra's father. What do you ask?
F: Back to the UNDERWATER BASE. Surely... surely one of them can help you...
G: Use your COMMUNICATION PORTAL SYSTEM to ask Mom for help. She's in range... you think.
H: So it goes. Every fiber of your being wants to see Daatra again, but it's time to be an adult and give her the time she needs... right?

If you choose an option that doesn't require leaving everything behind...
X: Switch to the destined outfit
Y: Stay with the Pomipomi outfit.

D for dragon form, or B for the next best thing. Maybe you can use the magic wings as a dragon? The point being, we want to go as fast as possible, and also make an impression on Daatra that we're going to great lengths to catch her. My hopes are that she'll be so shocked by your glowing magic wings that it'll snap her out of whatever awful mood she's in and put her in a position to talk.

>You really need... to exercise more...

Gosh, Ceri, you used to be pretty athletic! What happened to all that footsockball? And (what I assume must have been) regular gym visits?

Anyway, B: Engage dragon energy wings. Even if you're seen... well, dragons usually have wings, so they don't usually have energy wings? You might draw attention to yourself, but you draw attention to yourself all the time. So long as it's not for a clearly draconic feature, it's ok.

If the path of haste doesn't win I vote G, ask your Mom for help.

G You might end up doing more harm than good if you simply rush off to confront Daatra. Even if your intentions are good. Before doing anything get some advice. That is what mom is there for is she not? Plus its not a bad idea to get advice from your mom about this.

Second option is to use D-Burst and portal hop your way to the boat. Should be the fastest possible route to get to where you need to go.

Choices, choices...

Primary E.

Ask him where the grandparents live and if they have a phone number. Maybe, if all else fails, you can leave a thoughtful message for her before she even arrives and encourage her to call back to have an honest chat when she feels ready for it. You're friends, after all. Or at least an address, so you can send a letter.

Ask him about his take on Daatra's relationship with Zesmirl. Good/neutral/bad? You feel as if it's been a little tough on them of late, what with the whole long-distance issue.

Secondary G. Your mother used to work at the docks. She'd know a bit about the shipping around these parts. Maybe she could tell you which bend the boat'd probably take and where its next stop might be. Maybe there's another regular boat that goes faster and both make a stop at a dock further down the river.
>>
No. 882108 ID: 6cd244

Actually, can we D-burst the dragon form to get the energy wings on it? Because that would be ideal. The river fork's 200 kilometers away or so, and the boat's been gone for hours, so we probably need to go as fast as we can.

No, she's going west at the fork. There'd have to be a second fork almost immediately after that for there to be a problem.

Primary E. Just ask what the town is called she's heading towards. Then you can predict the boat route by consulting a map.

Secondary C. Dolphins can swim like 37 mph. You'd catch up in a couple hours if you can match that speed. Less if you use portals to shorten the distance traveled. If you're using aquatic form please wear a swimsuit at least so you don't show up naked.

A D-Burst seems like a good idea to get there faster.

I would say Polymorph into a bird and land (C) but then you would loose your bag so I guess the aquatic form (A) is your only non-dragon option (that keeps your bag).
If we can keep our bag from being lost then C but otherwise A. Plus we finally get to test out our glider function on our aquatic self with A.
My reasoning for not going with the dragon based options is because it could either sink the boat or cause a mass panic.

Yeah, maybe not.

You land quietly. Everyone around you continues to go about their business, unaware of how close they now stand to a dragon. It'd be cute, if not for the fact that you have to avoid bumping into them.

You scan around, but don't see Daatra anywhere. She must be down below. You return to your mortal...

...your normal form, since dragons don't tend to fit inside boats very well.

>Ceri, it’s good that you remembered to bring Daatra’s clothes with you so you can return them to her, but did you remember to bring clothes for you to wear so that you’re not naked?
....

Well. At least you're on-brand.

>[Why did you freak out if you could get here so fast?]
It took nearly an hour, even with all your D-energy and portal usage. The sun's going down now, and you're starting to realize how exhausted you are. You're not sure how your D-BURST managed to last so long...

...And despite it all you still barely managed to reach the boat before it reached the fork. You think Dad-tra said it was going west here, but there's no telling how soon the river splits again. A bird might not have made it in time. A bird wouldn't have the strength to keep going all the way to where Daatra's grandmother lives, even if you knew where that was.

....

Frankly, you don't care how stupid this plan might be. You gave everything you had to ensure that nothing and nobody would stand in your way. You won't lose a life-long friend. You won't let her run away without getting a chance to show her how much she means to you.

Most of Euia's systems have broken down. His seal remains intact... well, mostly intact. It's in a pretty sorry state, meaning the next risk you take could be your last.

Your D-wings seem fine despite the damage. You don't feel any drain having them out, and something deep down tells you they're safe to use, despite it all.

You feel around your invisible body. You don't think anything's different this time, and you don't feel the subtle drain of being polymorphed. Your breasts don't feel any heavier or more sensitive, which might be the most surprising part of this whole ordeal. As far as you can tell, your normal form is completely unchanged.

You dodge the people around you and manage to locate a map of the ship.

Despite cheating past what was probably a good two or three obstacles, one dares to stand between a dragon and her BFF: You actually have no idea where Daatra is.

Thanks to the overly long D-BURST, you didn't spend much of your magical stamina getting here. You can stay invisible for quite a while, giving you time to approach things calmly and rationally.

you say even though you're not remotely calm. your heart's having a little D-BURST of its own right now.

The sun's going down, meaning it's just after dinner time... or just before dinner time? Would Daatra eat in the mess hall, or insist on staying in her room? She showers at night like you do, so she could be there, as well.

You can cross off the VIP areas, ENGINEERING, and CARGO STORAGE as places she almost certainly isn't. And she's probably not the captain, counting out the CONTROL ROOMS as well.



What next?
A: Check out the mess hall. She could be having dinner, or about to.

D. just go visible and start screaming for Daatra NOTHING STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR BFF, unless she breaks her friendship off then we have to leave in shame.
Tell that fucker in you that you are in charge not it and to get its slimey tentacles off your stats and back inside the D-burst or you will go in there and tie it up with rope to the ceiling of your soul and edge it till it begs for a bit of D. You don't have time for a crisis of identity right now.

You're going to have to find someone to help, or the seal is going to fail before Mr. Elan returns.

Since she's in-range now, could you open a communication portal and try to figure out where she is by listening?

A seems a good first place to check- lots of people will be congregating at the same time, good chance she's there.

If that fails, I recommend finding a directory in an office somewhere- there's gotta be a list of who rented what rooms. That would be way better than searching every single room for her!

I already voted but I just wanted to say geeze Ceri you could have pushed yourself until just before all those important things broke and THEN turned into a bird to go the rest of the way, and probably gotten here in time or at least soon enough for the "west" indication to be enough. But it never even occurred to you! Next time you're gunning it at max please pay attention to your limits and give at least a little thought to what you can do about it when you're pushing up against them. Especially if you're in pain! You kind of have a habit of trying to power through things that are hurting you and yes sometime you need to do that but it's not healthy to not even notice you're doing it! We didn't tell you to push that hard.

Plus, I know you're probably not going to tell Daatra about any of this in detail, but if she did know all about your problems and she found out you burned all that because of her she'd probably feel terrible. I'm sure she still cares about you a lot! How would you feel if you were upset with someone you cared about and found out they'd run out on an important medical treatment to talk to you? Besides which if this comes back to bite you you might even end up resenting her for it a bit! I know people like to tell themselves that they don't mind and they're not going to regret things or be bitter when they make sacrifices for others, but emotions are tricky and hurting yourself for the sake of someone else can end up driving a wedge into your relationship on its own.

This is a real good idea! Ceri has Daatra's clothes, presumably with Daatra's scent still on them. Ceri just needs to shift into a animal with a really good sense of smell to track Daatra down. And if Ceri turns into a animal that's a common, or even uncommon, pet, she could wander around the ship naked without anyone thinking she's more than a passenger's pet that got loose.

Primary: Modified E: Polymorph into a pet animal with a really good sense of smell, find a out of the way spot to drop your invisibility and stash the bag with Daatra's clothes. Get a big whiff of them then sniff around the stairwells for her scent.

Secondary: A: No risking bumping into Daatra naked in the showers, considering what precipitated all this mess with her. And no invading the passengers privacy checking the cabins, especially since knowing your luck you'd stick your nose in on a sexual encounter and ruin it. ...Or join in.

You make your way toward the MESS HALL. Your MP drains slowly, but you've got plenty of time. You'll need to be careful not to be seen or heard, or have anything dumped on you. Thankfully, you had the foresight to put DAATRA'S OUTFIT in your DRAGON inventory slot. Convenient, that slot.


As you move, you hear snippets of conversations around you...

"...woohoo! shiiip!"
"good gods i know you love ships but stop it you're making a scene"
"this ship is a scene! the cold metal! the engines purring! the smell of boat! complete and utter beauty!!"
"you've been at this for an hour and i've been questioning our friendship for 59 minutes..."


"...and then he was like, 'show me your tits'!"
"no way!"
"way! and i had to be all like, dude, i'm a bird. you're a bird. we are both birds."

"*Bweep!* Good evening, everyone. We hope you're enjoying the ride so far! Dinner is ready, so feel free to come to the mess hall and enjoy our buffet! Thanks, and enjoy your stay~"

Ohoho. Won't be long until a whole bunch of people show. Now you need only wait to see if Daatra shows up. If she isn't here soon, you should have free reign to explore the PASSENGER CABINS unhindered.

>Since she's in-range now, could you open a communication portal and try to figure out where she is by listening?
The Communication Portal System (CPS) only works if you know where someone is. You could use it to peer into every room, but the portals tend to stay in one spot (relative to the planet), and you're on a boat that's moving.

It wouldn't be pretty.

No, for now you better play it safe and not play that particular 'I win' card.

You're setting up unfair expectations for Daatra. What if she can't come back? What if she thinks this is creepy stalker behavior and turning up here drives her further away from you?

I don't think those possibilities are likely, not at all, but you're still putting a lot on this.

Anyway, A, and here's the plan: While you were coming down here, you saw a bunch of other people walking away, like that bird talking about bird things. Duck in somewhere, polymorph into them, and eat at your leisure! No-one will be checking for tickets at this point, and lots of people around here seem to be wearing clothes with no pockets, so I don't think anyone's carrying theirs. So long as you don't look like someone who hasn't been seen around before - or just not like your attention-grabbing normal self - you should be fine!

Seeing a ralian of all things leading that group... part of you wants to talk to her, to see what made her abandon the ways of her own kind.

So that's what ralian breasts look like...

...Oh hey your post-egg cooldown period's wearing off and you can gain ~ again. It's not going to rise very fast this early in your egg-cycle, so you can look just a little longer...

...Okay, okay. Time to decide what to do next.

These 'Naturals' offer you a convenient way to return to the visible world. You could polymorph into something and act as if they swayed you to their cause (which is half true-- you already believe in their cause since you came up with it!).

Or, you can remain hidden and invisible, and just watch what happens while waiting for Daatra to appear.

Yet another option would be to take advantage of how distracted everyone is right now, and leave the room to search for Daatra in relative peace, though it might get complicated if she's on her way here.

[Path of visibility...]
Time to abuse this convenient plot event so you can mingle with others. You could even strike up a conversation with Daatra, if she shows, and maybe probe a bit for her current feelings. For many reasons, it's best you don't do this as yourself (normal or dragon).

You can be X: Female or Y: Male.

A: Become an itkiaki! You're kinda curious if you'd make a good birb. You prooobably shouldn't go Kharadra on this form.......?
B: Become your Mom's species! You've kinda done this before, but now you can be more you!
C: Become your Dad's species! Time to be daddy's girl. Though he might object to this whole situation.
D: Become another ralian! You wonder if you should try to be more ah... 'modest' than your forms tend to be.
E: Become a... noxan? It just randomly occurred you to try it?? You should probably be 'modest' in this form too, right...?


[Path of invisibility...]
As much as you might agree with their ideals, you're here for Daatra, not for shenanigans.

F: Wait here and observe. Daatra might still show up, and you could see how others react.
G: Use this chance to sneak past and leave. This is a great opportunity to go searching for Daatra's room, especially with everyone so distracted. You might have to think fast if you bump into her in the hallway.

>Become visible or not?
Yes, you should become visible!

You only ate enough to not be starving, but you’re not full. And becoming visible will let you eat until you’re full. Which means you can have some of that spaghetti! Along with a few other foods that you’d like to try.

Besides, it’ll look weird if you’re the only person not eating, so getting something to eat will also help you blend in with the crowd.

Maybe say something like "yeah, we should all join in and get naked to make a stand. We shouldn't be looked down upon based off of who we really are as nudists. Besides, it is hot in here anyway" or something.

More practically, what happens if something comes out of you? Let's get away from the lewd thoughts for a moment and say blood. Assume you've cut yourself a little while invisible. Would the blood coming out of you be visible, or not visible until it dripped off you, or stay invisible wherever it is until you drop the spell? If you don't know you could test with your spit. You never know, it could be relevant in the future!

Ceri, you’re a pollymorpher. If Daatra did do that, all you’d have to do is teleport out or change back to your normal form. But it would be very messy with you bursting out of her body, so teleporting is preferable in this hypothetical never going to happen ever situation.

A: Get a robe and wait in her room. Ceri, you rushing after Daatra and dropping in when she expected to be away from you for two weeks is obviously aggravating her. Just look at where her fangs were and are. You know they pop out when she's real angry and right now you can tell she's actively holding them back to not cause a scene. Sticking with her as a bird and lamely acting like it's "old times" will just make her more pissed off, partly because you didn't respect her desire for you to wait in her room, and probably end up with her blowing up at you in front of the whole mess hall. So put some time and distance between you so her emotions aren't spiking and she has a meal in her so she can think better when you do eventually talk.

Ask her if her cabin is unlocked and give her a warning about the group of buck naked nudist advocates that walked in on dinner down in the mess hall and somehow didn't get kicked out. Then fly away to snag a bathrobe, shift into a species that isn't dragon at all and put 'em on, and head to Daatra's room.

Once you are in there, shift to your default dragon form, (minus the spikes so you don't rip up the robe,) lay Daatra's folded clothes on the table, sit down and DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING! You are on double ultra mega time-out until you finish talking with Daatra! No touching or doing anything until then! Polymorph your damn limbs away if need be to stop yourself from doing anything harebrained! ...In fact, polymorph your boobs and genitals away anyway. Considering what screwed things up between you and her, removing all physical sexual aspects from yourself 'till this is over would make sense.

You ignore like five hilarious and/or lewd situations on the way to Daatra's room. It was tough, but you managed to make it here without breaking anything. The door wasn't even locked.

....

Not a lot of quiet moments for you lately. You miss when things were more... normal. Regular days spent hanging out with friends, or reading quietly to yourself, or playing video games.

But these hectic times are teaching you a lot. You're obviously still making rash decisions, but you find yourself more willing to stick with the choices you make. You're not stressing and arguing with yourself about whether what you did was 'right' or 'wrong'.

You chose to come here, and stuck with that decision. You're now focused on the next step. Even if you annoyed Daatra by showing up out of nowhere, you're confident that you'll figure out how to make it right. How to get her to understand why you did what you did.

Things will be okay.

You see a spare pair of robes nearby. They don't look like they've been worn, which makes sense. Most people, whatever race they happen to be, fit inside a certain form-factor. Every room probably has a pair like this, figuring that most will be able to wear them without issue. Even you, despite your spikes, could probably wear it just fine.

They don't fit Daatra, though. You hope they had something to offer her instead, but for now this gives you a chance to be yourself, should you desire.

You spend a moment thinking on the situation.

Because of your tendency to keep things light, Daatra probably thinks that you're someone who never feels sad. Someone with no regrets in life.

You want to change this. You want to tell Daatra that you understand her. That despite your great power, you're a person with struggles. With flaws. And despite all the jokes and words of confidence you give out, sometimes you feel powerless and alone.

Like right now.

Is it time to tell her everything? You can prove you're a dragon-- your D-WINGS still work and they are something no mortal can do. But maybe she'd be happier seeing you as just a powerful but mortal mage who pretends she's a dragon sometimes.

Not even a magazine to read... all you can do is wait, and decide.



Prove to Daatra that you're a dragon? X: Yes Y: No

And how will you meet her?
A: As a bird. Maybe it's best if Daatra doesn't see any of your new forms.
B: In your normal form (+ robe). You could switch to your old form, but you find yourself consistently preferring to be the 'more real' you.
C: As something else. Not a bird, but what...?
D: As a dragon. Logically this sounds very dangerous since your dragon form exists by 'fighting' Euia's magic, but what if there's a better way to do it...? You wonder if you have any ideas.

Turn back to yourself and sprawl naked in her bed, obviously. That's how anyone wants to find a girl they order to wait for them in their room.

I kind of think that's besides the point. You have stuff to talk about and work out and apologize for that has nothing to do with whatever you might happen to be! That stuff takes precedence over dramatic reveals.

I mean, there's no problem being honest with her about what you are, if that comes up, but setting out to try to prove what you are to her feels like making this more about you than about the relationship you're here to repair.

You could polymorph into your Dragon form, you know. Instead of "un-polymorphing" into it. Like, you could polymorph into something that's the right shape but has some crucial differences that Daatra won't notice. The further away from true dragon you are, the less the seal will object. However, that's not what I'm voting for as again, you don't need to pile on more drama.

B. That's what she expects, and if you look different than usual she probably won't think much of it, you're a polymorpher after all.

Speaking of which, you might want to check on your normal, unpolymorphed form. It might’ve changed again, now that you’ve damaged Euia‘s seal! You might have more spikes now! Hell, your boobs might’ve gotten bigger again!

X, B as you currently are, rather than polymorphed into your previous appearance.

There are a lot of reasons Daatra's feeling bad right now, and part of what she said earlier was a lack of confidence in her appearance and in her boyfriend liking her. She seemed to be jealous of you in that way. It might help to admit to her that your own appearance is the way it is because of life magic, and show that it's started to deteriorate. But you're not afraid that the people who care about you will start rejecting you even if you start looking like some sort of feared monster, and that's because the bonds people have with you are there because of who you are as a person. And so Daatra's bond with Zesmirl is also because of who she is as a person more than anything else, so she doesn't have anything to worry about! ...Though maybe if she actually wasn't hot you would have gotten into less drama...

Ok, so, B first, and if she asks why you look different, then X. Sort of. Just tell her you have a... condition. A magical condition, which you've had since you were a baby. One that's made you good at polymorphing but which has negative side-effects like this, which have recently been getting worse. And then, again if she asks for more information, then tell her you're a dragon. Again, don't blurt it out, lead into it.

Be prepared for her not to ask, though. Daatra I think might not want to be burdened with your secrets, and is already possibly feeling like she's a secondary character in your life. Definitely don't just tell her everything without her asking, it'll be like you're making this all about you!

I think you may have overlooked something important written in the update: Ceri's D-WINGS are something that no mortal can do, so she can show them to Daatra to prove she's a dragon. That sidesteps the whole issue of Ceri being a polymorpher getting in the way of showing her "true self" you seemed to have based your choice on.

Hmmm...

You now know better than to make assumptions until you try on a bra, but your chest feels... the same? Nothing's more sensitive than before, and they don't feel any heavier. If they're bigger, it's not by much.

You can't shake the feeling that there are some minor differences, but you don't see anything major. Maybe this is less a new form and more a... tweaking? Of this form?

You put on the BATH ROBE, then get Daatra's outfit and place it on her bed. As expected, the robe fits comfortably despite your spikes and... endowments. You tug at it a little, idly wondering if it'd fit even Kharadra... you're going to go with 'barely'. You could 'try' it out, but you don't want to risk damaging the robe right before something so important!


You sit back down and continue waiting. You pass the time by thinking about what you'll say to your dear friend.

You're willing to prove to Daatra that you're a dragon, but you're not going to force the issue. There will be plenty of chances to show her later-- this moment's about making things right!

Every time you make a perfect script in your mind, you end up turning it into spaghetti. Maybe you'll be less likely to mess up if you decide on what general points you want to focus on, and play it by frill ear.

Step one is to remember exactly why she's upset. Time can make memories twist and crumple, until they're little more than the feelings you had in that moment. This can make good things seem great, but more often it makes bad things seem worse.

You need to focus on the actual events...

You insisted on helping Daatra lay her egg. You believed that this would be beneficial to her, as Reptilians rarely lay eggs alone. She needed to realize that it's not something to hide or be ashamed of. You seemed to bond a bit from this.

You went to the mall with her, and ended up running into Gulketi. This is when you discovered Daatra has a weakness for tiny fluffy creatures. Not that surprising, since her boyfriend is a larger fluffy creature.

Related to that, you decided to turn into a male ketza. Daatra carried you to Kharadra's shop, where you got... distracted by her impressive polymorphic endowments. This caused your tiny speep to stand at attention.

Daatra noticed, and probed you about what it felt like, being male. She also insisted you let her touch it. In the heat of the moment, you never took the time to wonder why she was suddenly so forward. You let her get a feel, and...

...You challenged her to go one step further, from feeling it with her hands to feeling it with her mouth. You couldn't take it anymore, and unloaded inside her mouth. This caused her to recoil, and immediately run off.

You chased after her, and found her laying near some bushes. She lamented about how unfair it was that you had everything you could ever want, and that you were way too perfect. She admitted she couldn't hate you, and told you to stop being so nice to her. You responded by telling her how great she is and how she needs to stop being so down on herself.

She's also sure her boyfriend, Zesmirl, intends to dump her when he visits next week, which might inform some of her actions yesterday.

You gave her a hug, confident that things were fine... but she said she needed time. You decided to let her leave and give her space, intending to visit her later... which brought you to this boat.

A creaking door interrupts your thoughts before you're ready. It's Daatra.

Your heart has abandoned you and moved to another country.

She speaks. "Those people were naked."

"Y-yeah..."

"I didn't let them ruin my meal."

"That's... that's good."

She enters the room, closing the door behind her. She gives you a look that makes you very glad you put on a robe and didn't do something crazy like sprawl out on her bed naked.

She glances at her bed. "Oh, you brought me my outfit."

"Y-yeah."

"Thanks."

"you're welcome."

"But you didn't come all this way to bring me my clothes."

"N-no, I didn't."

"Then I'll... Hssss. Why the hell are you here!? Are you insane!?"

"little bit"

"I just wanted some time. Time to myself. Time to think about things. But nope-- here you are."

"...."

"Probably have some big speech ready about friendship and confidence. Do you even understand why I left!? I don't need hugs and speeches about friendship. You're... I..."

Now or never, Ceri. This is a situation magic can't solve. It's just you and your words. If Siphon's right... if there's more to you than your body, more to you than lust, now's the time to prove it. Here, in this moment, it's your chance to be more than who or what you are.

Say nothing. For now saying anything will just upset Daatra more. This rapid flight out here wasn't your best idea to be fair, and trying to act like it was, and that you always know the right thing to do wont win you any points with Daatra right now.

She was upset with you because you seemed so perfect. Let her see you having made a mistake, and screwed up. Let her see you fail, the simplest way to do that, is to not try to convince Daatra that you coming here was the right thing to do. For either of you.

Dialogue, Ceri. You need to understand her, don't assume it's just because she's mad at you for what you did.
Tell her you can think of some reasons why she left without telling you, but you need to know for sure. If it's a problem you can work through then you'd like to do that, because honestly the thought of losing her as a friend terrifies you. If she really does just need time then at least you managed to return her clothes, and you can give her a proper goodbye.

If she says you're being too clingy, then well, you have an explanation for that. Your hoard is the people important to you. Losing a friend would be like a stereotypical dragon having gold stolen from them.
At that point she might get irritated at you for talking like you're really a dragon, so then you can say you can prove it if she wants.

Did you felt guilty, because, deep down, you know this is because of you?
Because this is the things that you do, careless, rushed actions, with out thinking?
You wanted to show her that she is wrong? That you are not perfect? That there are aspects of your life out of your control, like a normal person? Even though you are a dragon, a mighty creature, feared and respected by all?
You yourself are a living proof of your imperfections. Full of insecuritys, fears, defects, like any other girl. And that is great.

You're here because you don't want your own dumb actions to screw things up too far for Daatra. She's been worried about her relationship with her boyfriend, and feeling like she's not good enough and that she's already lost her chance with him. After what you two did at the mall, I think with all that stress she's worried that there's no point to even trying. So she's gotten on a boat to go and get away from everything so she won't have to face either you or him when he comes to visit. But meeting him and talking to him is the best chance she has to make this stuff work, and if you end up being the reason she abandons a relationship like that you're worried it'll screw up your relationship with her forever. Far from perfect, you made a terrible mistake and took advantage of her when she was vulnerable when you were supposed to be doing what you could to support her - you knew ahead of time she was having some problems. So you're here to try and fix what you broke and fly her home on your apparently still-working magic wings and give her another chance to make things right with her boyfriend. And support her through however that ends up going... if she's willing to let you.

!?

You rub your eyes. "How long was I...?"

"'Bout half an hour."

"Oh. Sorry..."

"It's okay. So, um, how are you feeling?"

You yawn and stretch your reptilian muscles a bit. "Still really tired, but... calm."

"That's good. Calm is good."

You sit back up. "Yeah."

Daatra pauses, rubbing the back of her head. "Um, this is not a great time to ask, but..."

"A-anything! You're my big sister!"

"It's just-- wait, big!? I'm younger than you by like, two seasons!"

"But you're bigger than me! Physically!"

Daatra spreads her arms wide. "Aren't you a dragon or something!? Dragons are fuckin' huge man! You're the big sister!"

"Okay! Fine! I like being big anyway!"

"Do you, now?"

"H-hey, changing the subject, I'm surprised you actually believe me now. And aren't like, freaking out."

"People usually don't lie during an emotional breakdown. And there's no magic in the world that can make glowing wings show up out of nowhere like that."

She flicks her tongue. "and maybe a small part of me always believed you"

You gasp maybe a bit too much. "You did--!?"

"I didn't at first. Or really at all for a long time. But as you got all this insane magic, part of me started wondering if it were true. Your abilities seemed so... impossible. And, well, here we are."

"Yeah."

"Besides, you're always rambling about how being a dragon doesn't make someone bad."

"R-rambling--!"

"Hsshss~. Point is, bad people don't try this hard to be someone's friend. You're as good as they come, Ceri-berry. Dragon or no dragon."

You wipe away the uh dust that got in your eye again for like the 5th time.

"Oh shit-- he's visiting next week, isn't he?"

"Yeah. And, since I was... wrong about you, maybe there's a chance I'm wrong about him, too."

"Yes! I-I mean we won't know until he gets here, but it's definitely possible!"

"Hsshss~ There's the optimistic Ceri I know."

"Yes! Big sister Ceri, the optimist!"

"Hss~ Anyway, I think I still need a little time to like, process everything that's happened the past two days. But what I do know is I can't stay on this ship. My return ticket isn't valid for two weeks (the pains of taking the cheapest option), so if I stay here, I'll never know how Zesmirl really feels."

"Oh. Yeah, that'd be bad."

Ceri, it might be a bad idea to turn into a dragon again for the trip back, your seal is wrecked and you'd have to turn into something that's just kindof close to avoid disaster, which would be a bit of a letdown for Daatra wouldn't it? "Oh I can't turn into a full dragon right now because I'm a fuckup but I can turn into something close", so lame.

Primary B: ask her to request something. You could turn into a giant eagle or Roc if she's not afraid of heights. If she'd rather go by sea you could turn into a shark or other large horizontally-propelled fish so she can ride on your back. For land traversal you could turn into a big cat like a cheetah or a horse or a FOREST GOD deer thing.

As an actual concern, is she traveling with anyone else who would be distressed by her sudden disappearance? Does she have stuff she doesn't want to leave behind? (I suppose she could wait for her luggage to catch up the slow way).

At the very least, Daatra needs to tell the crew she's disembarking, so when it's noticed there's a passenger missing, there's not a panicked search for a lizard overboard, or a murder investigation, etc.

Primary C - the Hike.

No stressing your MP 'till its empty. No more dragon shenanigans. Just the fuckup sisters, having fucked up and bonding over it. Add in calling home if possible, informing everyone of where you are and what happened (you snuck on board and didn't find Daatra until now / fell asleep waiting for her to return to her room) and when you'll be back (in about a day???) - at least to an extent. Who knows. Maybe they'll wire you money for an overnight local boat return ticket and the true hardship will be explaining to your parents how it came to this tomorrow morning - better known as The Path of the Parental Unit.

See if Daatra can't get a refund for the return ticket - no big if you can't, but the ship's captain was a swell enough guy to give the Naturals a pass for their antics, so maybe if you (or, really, Daatra) explains your situation - kinda - there's some give there. Maybe there's some food or equipment/advice for a return trip give in there, at least. Given that you're not truly in a rush, you can jump off at the next stop and head home from there. Although... when is the next stop? You may want to jump ship earlier, if it's real far, but even so telling the captain that you're leaving WOULD be the smart thing. Just no-one's gonna call home early and report that Daatra's missing from her berth. Less potential worry for loved ones.

We don't want trouble, so Ceri should ideally still hide her presence or let Daatra loan her some clothes... unless she wants to pretend being a Natural. It appears, after all, that being naked is tolerated onboard this vessel for the time being.

Secondary A, I guess PLATONIC Dragon is DOABLE, if not exactly wise. Take care not to take the same route back as you did here! Your earlier display will probably have gotten eyes on the sky and the last thing you need is some bird/star-watcher reporting an unknown new dragon rider (complete with blurry pictures).

Ceri, before you go running off with Daatra, you need to help Daatra pack up her suitcase/travel bag with everything she brought with her, including her clothes that you brought with you to return to her.

And, this is important, don’t forget to bring all of Daatra’s things with you!!!!! It would be very inconvenient if you both left the ship but left all of her stuff in her room!

>What do?
A

If you wanna get home before it gets too late at night and your parents start to worry, it might be best to fly! Just don’t D-Burst!

Now that you’ve finally told Daatra that you’re a dragon, you should probably fill her in on all of the other details.

Give her a list of people that know about you being a dragon and how she can’t tell anyone that isn’t on that list that you’re a dragon because it’s supposed to be a secret.

>>889532
>At the very least, Daatra needs to tell the crew she's disembarking

Yes. That's the whole problem- if she doesn't explain her leaving in advance, they'll eventually realize a passenger went missing in the middle of the ocean, which will likely result in a frantic search effort, wasted rescue resources, bad feelings and guilt all around, possible financial or legal consequences, etc.

An awkward "we're leaving with magic" conversation is better than a "oh no she probably drowned" one.

River, and it's on the assumption there won't be any more stops in the next few hours so it'd be better to disembark now, but... er... hang on, let me ask Brain. Not sure what it was thinking would be the next move there.

"... and that's why I need to disembark. Can we have an emergency rowboat, please?" (oh god no)

"Don't worry. I know how to swim." (um... maybe?)

"Can you drive closer to shore and slow down a bit so it's possible for me to hop on land and disembark?" (could be an okay ask, maybe???)

"My friend who is totally not illegally on board can teleport us." (er...)

"I can portal myself." (invisible Ceri creates portal - might work!)

"... do you know the best way to get to shore safely and securely in a hurry?" (... probably the sensible question to ask)

Because Ceri isn’t supposed to be here, so it wouldn’t make sense for Daatra to say “we”.

>>889558

We caught up to the ship while it was in the river and heading for wherever Daatra’s grandparents are. But weren’t we told that they lived on a different continet or something across the ocean? Because we’ve been on the ship long enough that it might’ve made it to the ocean by now.

Nope! According to the latest update of the calendar planner (in >>/questarch/859920) the Picnic of Doom is coming up in a day and a half to two days (depending on what time it is now) and Ceri cannot miss that. I didn't check if anything else got on Ceri's schedule for tomorrow, but if it's clear she could theoretically take a day and a bit to get back with Daatra. However, it depends on whether Daatra would accept taking that long or not.

But whatever the choice, Ceri and Daatra can't stay on the boat for eight or nine hours to rest because they'll be even farther away from home and it'll take more time and effort for them to get back. Ceri also has roughly 80% of her MP charge left, so sleeping to recoup the remaining 20% doesn't make sense because she'll burn much more than that 20% to go back all the extra distance the boat went. This means they ought to get off the ship sooner rather than later.

No more dragon shenanigans and no more pushing your magic to the limits. Do not take any risks of damaging your seal, even small ones. That means limiting your magic to a known safe level until Mr. Elan returns.

You also blew out of town in dragon form with wings glowing like a damn comet, so undoubtedly a bunch of people saw that and at least some will be out watching the sky for more. Coming back the same way now will get you spotted, especially since your wings will show up like a beacon against the night sky. Better to come back in non-dragon form tonight.

Idk about that. It would probably end up being something akin to a high-profile UFO sighting.

Hm. You're probably right. With how bright and glowy she was (>>883170,) if anyone saw her they wouldn't have been able to make out a dragon from the ground with how fast she was moving. They'd have seen something obviously powerfully magical, but wouldn't be able to ID it. ...Though, other than dragons, what else could be that powerfully magical? Kinda points back to "dragon" if there's nothing else commonly known.

Anyway, Ceri still shouldn't fly in on her glowing dragon wings 'cause it's nighttime and she'd show up like a beacon against the dark sky. She also doesn't have the D-burst to speed her up so much it's hard to visually track her, so Daatra could be spotted riding her by someone with binoculars.

Unlike UFOs, dragons in this world are known to actually exist and be a threat, even if they're rarely ever seen. There's always the risk that with enough suspicious activities someone of authority or note might show up to investigate. Not to mention whatever other sightings may have resulted in the past year from the literal actual UFO landing in the lake. People would probably sooner blame that on dragons too! There might very well be a federal dragon investigator in some office somewhere with a corkboard covered in your town's newspaper clippings.

While polymorph tends to be your go-to magic, sometimes there's no beating a good portal for convenience.

"Can I keep you?" Daatra asks.

"Yeah, not quite how I expected today to end," Daatra says.

"Me either. But it's pretty cool, right?"

"maybe. So this is your real body?"

"It's... an approximation. I have so much to tell you, big sister."

"Little."

"Right."

You were ready to cancel the morph the moment you felt any concerning strains on your barely-functioning stats, but everything went... smoothly? It's as if you finally convinced whatever's inside you that this is a polymorph like any other. Or, Euia's magic has a safeguard built into it that prevents it from fighting you while in such a sorry state.

For all intents and purposes, it feels like a regular polymorph. There's no surge of power. No leaking energy. Hell, your spikes aren't even glowing. You can feel a fairly large drain on your magical energy, so there's still something weird about it, but... it seems fine otherwise. And you have a million MP because you're so OP.

DRAGOP no wait that doesn't work

Okay... it's time to make this form flight-ready. You're going to have to try and 'feel' how much D you have. You had drained it entirely, but you think your earlier dragony outburst gave you some back? You can't D-BURST, meaning your D-WINGS are likely the only way to vent excess energy. But is it safe? You need to test it, slowly and carefully.

You concentrate...

They appear like normal. Okay, that's probably good. Nothing hurts...

Daatra shifts on your back. "Those aren't going to burn me if I touch them, right?"

"Uh.. Maybe don't risk it. Also, do you have a good grip? I'm going to try to fly, and I might need to immediately come back down."

"Not really, but... hold on. I have a rope I can use."

"Why do you have rope?"

You fly low and slow. So far so good. You glance at your stat page... nothing untoward going on.

As long as you remain calm, and take it easy, you think you'll be okay.

You use CPS to counteract the wind and converse with Daatra. "I'm kind of surprised with how cool the captain was with you leaving."

"He probably assumed I was aquatic and was going to just swim back."

"Nothing about you screams 'aquatic', Daatra."

"Maybe he thought my hips were floatation devices."

"Oh? Are you finally admitting you have amazing thick hips~?"

"J... just focus on flying, you dragon goober."

"Oho! The highest tier of goober, the dragon goober!"

"Certainly the biggest goober I know."

After about 20 minutes, you feel a kind of fatigue that causes you to worry you're out of D. You land in a meadow, thankful that it's not a swamp.

"Can't keep going," you say.

"Hmm? You okay?"

"Yeah, just tired. I don't want to push myself. Done enough damage that way."

"Right, that seal thingy. I still can't believe Mr. Ilan of all people uses life-magic. He's such a hypocrite!"

"I mean, he'd lose his job pretty damn fast if he told kids to go out and try forbidden spells."

"At least he'd be honest! And didn't you say he grabbed your boobs once? He's a hypocrite and a perv!"

"I'm pretty sure everyone in this town is a perv."

"...Yeah, you're right. What's up with that?"

"I blame the water."

You bring your body down to the ground, and Daatra hops off.

"I bet you're the cause. You're some kind of perv dragon giving off a perv aura!"

Isn't it too soon for that kind of teasing!? "T-that's not how it works! And I'm a spaghetti dragon, not a lewd dragon!"

"...."

"I'm not both."

"Spaghetti dragon."

"Yes! That one and not the other thing!"

"So what-- you breathe spaghetti?"

"You saw the cutscene. Yes."

"What?"

She's not in on the joke.

You can't believe her though! Thinking you're a perv dragon. Of all the base-less...

>How do you know [that other people don't become invisible when eaten~?]
YOU TOO, BRAIN??? There's nothing lewd about you knowing that! It's one of the first things they teach you about invisibility! It doesn't affect other people!

Even if it did, why would you slowly wrap your tongue around someone's soft, vulnerable body, draw them towards your mouth, and caress their...

"Are you thinking about something perverted?"

"No!"

"Suspicious. So you gonna turn back now?"

"I didn't bring any clothes..."

"You didn't keep the bathrobe?"

"Stealing is wrong."

"Some dragon you are."

You make several dragon noises in response. They may or may not include squeaking.



A-ahem. You're still a little ways from home, but it's fairly late and you're really tired. You need to figure out what you're going to do before it gets too dark to see. Too bad neither you nor Daatra can use FIRE MAGIC...

Do you try to make camp?
X: Yes. Neither of you have camping supplies, but you think you can make do and get some rest.
Y: No. You need to keep heading home. Maybe Daatra will be willing to carry you? Fair's fair!

You probably shouldn't use a bunch of MP sleeping as a dragon, tempting as it is. But you're not sure you should be naked around Daatra after what happened...

Or are you overthinking it?

A: Revert to normal form. It's probably fine.
B: Switch to a flat chested form. Maybe this would keep it from being weird.
C: Turn into an animal of some kind. Maybe something you can snuggle up to your 'sis' in...
D: Sleep as a dragon tho. What the hell else are you gonna use MP for out here??

If you're a water dragon, does that mean the lewd water is the result of your influence? Or if the water was the source, does your water affinity mean you just got hit harder than everyone else and that's why you're super lewd?

Dragons have very strong opinions about stealing! Usually involving burning thieves alive! Stealing is bad!

X, D, let's have a cute dragon camping party. It'll help you practice for the later camping trip to rescue the prince of space, too. If you're uneasy about the dragon-ing, though, just do A. It would probably be less weird than if you were flat because Daatra's clearly into at least guy-shaped people rather than woman-shaped ones. So being as visibly female as possible means it won't be weird!

Regardless of whether you are flat, it is still going to be kind of weird with your vagazzle exposed (you might be able to convince Daatra to lend you some clothes, assuming she has more than one outfit packed).

I suggest pressing on through the night. You could either polymorph your eyes into something with better nightvision or make a torch using a branch and one of the various survival fire starter methods (or maybe Daatra has a lighter or some flint and steel to go with the rope). You could also cast magelight if that is a thing you (or Daatra) can do.

And not only that, because Ceri was hidden and not discovered to be a dragon, then word didn't get back to the rest of the dragons, who would have killed her for the sins of her parents, or to zealous Dragon Riders, who would have magically enslaved her. She's alive and free today because of what Mr. Ilan did.

>If Daatra asks why Mr. Ilan had you grow boobs, explain that neither you nor Mr. Ilan know why that happened, but you enjoy having them.
But Ceri does know, assuming Mr. Ilan wasn't lying. According to what he said, it's because he's not observant of bipedal folk's forms and erroneously thought that Ceri should have breasts. (See >>/questarch/744294)

Seeing a dead tree nearby, Daatra is able to fashion a basic torch from it using supplies she has no reason to have but does anyway because her dad thinks of everything. You continue your journey.

You and Daatra make small-talk the whole time. Teasing each other, making jokes at the situation. You spend a little time defending Euia, and while Daatra remains suspicious of him, she's willing to try and give him the benefit of the doubt. He's the one who taught her how to use her TELEKINETIC MAGIC, after all. And you owe your (relatively) normal life to him!

It's slow-going, since the terrain around your town is notoriously difficult to navigate. Between all the trees and all the yucky watery spots, it feels like two years have passed.

Or two hours. Nearly in CPS range now.

You find yourself unable to go on. You reconsider camping out, but the town is so close now...!

"Turn back into a bird," Daatra insists.

"I can't just ask you to carry me!"

"You're not. I'm insisting."

"Big-- Little sister...!"

"Don't be so dramatic. You can buy me ice-cream later."

B, then A. Slip under the covers and use small portals to grab your clothes so you don't disturb your dad. You don't need much, just enough to be decent in front of him when you wake him. Panties, bra (with temporary boob downsize to fit,) shorts and a over-sized t-shirt will do and be easy to put on quietly.

As for how to wake him, put your hand on his, gently shake it and softly say "daddy. daddy, wake up." Also help him to stand up and take a seat on your bed because sleeping in such a position has to have left him all kinds of stiff and sore. Getting him a glass of water and a pain reliever to take before he gets up to leave would be a good idea.

For what to say to him, tell him you're so sorry for flying off yesterday without telling anyone where you were going. You're so sorry for making him a load more worried about you than he already was after what happened before. ...That is why he's here, because he fell asleep watching over you? And tell him you love him and give him a close hug if the mood is right.

bit of nonsequietor theory here, but the dragon half not acting up during that last bit made me think of it, and i wanted to see if the dragon side appeared in her dreams again before i said anything.

i think we've been looking at this whole thing backwards. i don't think the dragon side is trying to control her or corrupt her, i think it's just a scared child who's only been aware of the world for a few days and doesn't know any better.

everything that can't be chalked up to either her normal personality or our influence, seems to be base uncontrolled instinct. despite that it seems to react to her mood in ways that are more intuitive than some 'safeguard' should be. not acting up after that emotional ordeal felt, at least to me, more like sympathy.

if you were trapped all your life in a dark place that's basically nothing, and one day a little sliver of light opened up revealing a whole wondrous world that you never knew existed, so bright and colorful that it made your dark nothing feel like a cage. you don't have memories, or understanding, just simple thoughts and instincts, and want to play with that world, experience it. except the only person you can interact with keeps pushing you away, keeps putting up walls that keep you trapped in your cage, and you don't know why because you can't communicate properly with her. wouldn't you be scared? wouldn't you be angry? i bet you'd lash out.

what if the dragon half lashing out via a dream a few threads back, and the off-and-on attempts to take control aren't genuine malice, but the tantrums of a frightened creature that's been denied everything, never given the chance to show if it's capable of being anything, and doesn't know why. only that ceri is its sole link to the physical world, the only person it knows, the only person it can interact with, and she keeps pushing it away.

what if it's trying to reach out to her, but doesn't know the right way to do it? i think ceri should spend some time today looking into this.

Unless the power being repressed artificially caused a split personality disorder, the dragon power is just that: power. It isn't sentient, it is just overwhelmingly powerful. Being hit with it all at once would at best drive Ceri into a deep depression as she unintentionally causes havok while trying to restrain herself, at worst, it would break her. Think of it like a toddler, just learning how to walk, being given the body of a soldier or a bodybuilder. Even if they weren't malicious, they would still cause quite a bit of damage just trying to figure out how to control themselves.

You know, it would probably be best to just tell your parents (read: mom) that you are a pervert instead of trying to beat around the bush. You still have a good moral compass, you just seem to have some more explicit interests. This way they wont worry all the time, and you all can be a bit more open and less tense. Ofc this will be tough, your neurons will definitely dislike this course of action (not to mention your dad), but it is for the best in the long run. Take baby steps rather than just plowing through your neural block and your father's psyche. Your mom will probably be an invaluable resource once you open up to her (and allow her to open up to you).

Even your vast tracts of dragon-land aren't going to fluster him.

Also you're his daughter.

>I thought Daatra was reacting because she hadn’t seen their bigger size yet.
She hadn't. Normally she makes fun of you, but... this time was a bit different, huh? She actually sounded concerned, which isn't an emotion she shows very often.

Sis really cares...

You feel a warm glow inside you. You love Daatra. A different kind of love than you share with Skif, perhaps, but love all the same.

She is family. As much so as Mom and Dad.

"Mm... I'd rather you 'break' me than feel you have to bottle things up. Besides, your mother's there to glue me back together. There's nothing the two of us can't do-- we've raised a dragon, after all."

He face betrays a subtle, pained expression. "And... I know you're all grown up now. The day will come when you leave to forge a life of your own. My little girl's all grown up, and I need to accept that."

He gives a slight smile. "But until that day comes, please talk to us. We want to know that our little girl is okay. And if you aren't, we'll always be there for you. Sometimes we over-react, but I promise there's nothing you can say that'll make us stop loving you. I'll keep saying it 'till it sticks."

"I know, Dad. I... thanks."

He pats you on the head. "Alrighty, I'm going to go check on your mother. Take your time, but do join us for breakfast, okay?"

Still fits~

This day is already a million times better than the past few days have been.

Artistic adjustments aside, you don't notice any major changes. Something does feel different, in a way, but it's nothing physical. At least, nothing affecting your 'normal' form.

You spend a moment musing on this. Maybe the damage to the seal was more superficial this time? Or maybe there's some threshold you hit last time that isn't being hit now. That kinda makes sense, since your body didn't change the first couple of times you damaged things either.

Or maybe it's because you absorbed a lot of power in the mall. Every other time was just over-exertion.

You sigh a bit in relief. If your tits got any bigger, the downsides would really start to outweigh the benefits. You like to look at Kharadra, but you don't want to be Kharadra!

Now you're curious what it looks like. You use polymorph-- ah!!

You take off your bra and use polymorph to try out some different sizes.

...Yeah, your mind is set. This body, your body, is perfect for you. This is, in a way, your 'ideal beauty'. Your sleek D-scales... Your soft and sensitive D-boobs...

Idk how bra sizes work in your world, but unless that D stands for Draconic, there is nothing D about them (seem more like H+, not that it is bad necessarily). Also, while your stomach is cute imho, you should probably start working out so that you can not only keep from gaining too much weight, but also gain the non-magically asssisted muscle strength to not suffer from your extra mass performance-wise. Bottom line is tht you should start strength and endurance training to either lose weight or enable yourself to have as much chub as you do without suffering.

...Something you can save for later.

Point is, you're glad nothing's changed. You really like this form-- how can you not? It's like, halfway between the form you lived your life in and your 'true' self. Best of both worlds!

This means you're not slowly turning into some kind of awesome spooky monster dragon who's like 10 meters tall and has big thick thighs and claws and spikes and maybe some frills and unrelatedly you should practice GIANT GROWTH later.

>Idk how bra sizes work in your world, but unless that D stands for Draconic...
It stands for DRAGON. You haven't been a D-cup since you were like 13.

>Outissa wants a piece of your ass, and you need to deliver.
Sweet innocent Outissa? You can't just assume she feels that way about you. She might not even be into girls! You need to do things right this time. Take things slow and not push anything. You're taking the lessons you learned from Daatra to heart.

If she does just want a friend, you're going to give her the best friendship ever. Dragon friendship.

Beyond that... you'll see how it goes.

>And be careful from now on! Your tilde barrier is broken, so if you get too turned on, you won’t be able to stop it from rising too high and you might end up doing something you’ll regret again!
A little self-love (or sex in general) is needed to keep yourself from overflowing with lust. A lot of your troubles were caused by holding back and refusing to give yourself release.

That said, you're early in your egg cycle now. It shouldn't be a big problem for a while. Your ~ isn't going to instantly max from a gentle breeze.

But when it does get high, you need to play it safe and find a quiet spot to have a tender moment with yourself. Or a member of your hoard. orkharadra

>You could compromise. Insert a toy, get dressed, leave it in until you see Skif next.
That's not playing it safe! And you'd be too distracted to tell a coherent story!

Yeah, maybe. Even a dragon needs to stay healthy, and you wouldn't mind having a little bit of muscle. And it'd be nice to run longer before getting winded. Not to mention getting to use... gym equipment...

>Yes because what species are supposed to have mameries has had any relation to how people think of them so far.
Yeah, fair. You've been seeing a lot reptilians and birds being into boobies for some reason.

Not your dad, though. When you started developing, Mom had to explain to him that you didn't have two super-tumors.

That was a weird week.

You instinctively cover yourself now, but it's largely because you've been conditioned by mammals. Part of what you hope to achieve as a dragon is changing the idea that a body is something to be ashamed of! Going without clothes is the right of all mortals!

...That said, you're easier to draw with a shirt on so you're not going to run around naked right now.

Oh! Skif is asleep on the couch.

Aww, was he also worried about you? You give him a gentle kiss on the cheek, and nudge him softly to wake him up.

He hugs you tightly and says he's glad you're okay. You remind him that you're pretty OP, and he mentions the rumors going around about a dragon being nearby. That's likely to entice some Dragon Riders to visit, and they can sense your dragon magic through Mr. Ilan's magic if they get close enough to you. You need to be careful.

"When am I ever not careful?" you ask.

"...."

"No, you don't have to actually answer that."

"Oh thank gods."

You mush his cheeks. "You don't have to sound so relieved."

"Imuh buh muh"

"What?"

He stares at you until you let go of his cheeks, then tries again. "I said I'm uh relieved because you're okay and will be careful and I have no reason to believe otherwise!"

"It's because you're fluffy and cute that I'm going to pretend to believe you."

He opens his mouth as if to protest, but just sighs. "I'll take what I can get."

---Summer, week 3 day 3---
Your body is still worn out from yesterday, and you're pretty stressed. You might want to take it a bit easy today. The picnic is tomorrow, so that's something to keep in mind.

Time to decide what you'll be doing today. Skif will join you, since you want to spend some time with him.


What will you spend the morning hours doing? For now, focus on the basic plan. You can decide details (like who else you bring along) once you know what you're doing.

A: Hang out at home playing Video Games. This would be pretty relaxing and stress-free. For now, you're only comfortable doing this with Skif and/or Daatra.
B: Head to the mall again. You're too stressed to help Kharadra, but you could explore or say 'hi'. Or bring Skif to certain shops...
C: Head to the Gym. Skif's been hogging those wonderful machines to himself!
D: Practice magic in a secluded area. You do have a bunch of COMBO SPELLS to try out.
E: Visit DRAGON FANS UNITED or whatever it's called. It's basically a fan club for you!

If so, rather than training, you should probably plan how tomorrow is going to go. Also try to have a heart-to-heart with Siphon to find out whether she is trying to be difficult or is just clueless (referring to the :3 and :3c). That kind of personality can be infuriating and I doubt your parents will like it so much. She might also want to wear a shirt.

To have this much support while still enjoying some comfort is nothing short of miraculous. This feels better than running in your old body in a typical sports bra, despite your new chest being larger and more sensitive. Kharadra's work is truly without compare.

Not just polymorphers, all people with breasts would benefit a great deal from her work. The world needs her.

This shouldn't be so surprising-- of course Kharadra would make amazing sports bras. She had to make one for herself.

You now have two (more) reasons to be grateful for her giant bird tits.


Skif strikes a conversation with you. "You doin' okay over there?"

"Huff... Yeah! This bra is the best!"

"It's actually giving you 'a dragon's support', huh?"

"Dragons wish they were as supportive as this thing."

"Heh. Not gonna consider running without, then?" he asks playfully.

You grin. "Nope! This time it's my turn to enjoy watching you run~"

"Well then, I better not disappoint my lady!"

wow everything's really sparkly lately huh

Whoops! Stay on the treadmill, Ceri.


It's nice being able to admire him without instantly maxing your TILDE. Finally you can enjoy the simple pleasures in life without worrying about breaking something or someone.

Much.


Ahem! Now that you're warmed up, it's time to fully embrace this gym and all its wonderful, wonderful equipment. But you need to pace yourself. You're still a little worn out from yesterday.


Time for an old mechanic What will you focus on? [Vote as many as you want. Top choices will determine Ceri's focus.]

-A: Upper body strength. (VIGOR+)
-B: Your legs. (SPEED+, for the first time since thread 2)

B: Your legs. Never skip leg day! .....wait, is today leg day? Since Skif is the gym expert, you might have to ask him if it’s safe to workout your legs if it’s not leg day!

Man, you kind of need everything. Make a note to come back again some time.

For now, D should be the main priority for immediate concerns (and maybe physically training as a dragon will make other dragon stuff easier/more comfortable?), but next priority is B, followed with E. Maybe don't use that for the chronological order, though, just effort order. Warm up with leg work first, then dragon, then cool down with yoga.

Perhaps you could try to invent dragon yoga? Unless someone for some reason made yoga exercises for large quadrupeds already...

I doubt the private rooms are actually private.

Sure, you can workout privately away from the other gym members, but the private rooms probably have security cameras in them, so that the employees can make sure whoever is in the private rooms are actually working out and not doing anything against the rules.

Dragon Form in a public building seems like a bad idea, especially after everyone saw us last night! We need to lay low as much as possible, which means no Dragon Form unless it’s an emergency!

I’m also worried about that [error]+! That could be Ceri’s seal breaking even more!

Oh, the things you'd do to this machine in private. You're probably not even using it right but you don't care you're so happy right now. Had you not laid eggs just two days prior, you'd be dry-humping this damn thing.

Since you had, you're (barely) able to start working your legs. As you push the weighted foot-grip outwards, the machine makes several pleasing sounds... the wonderful klack of the weights as they shift, the smooth motion of wires and pulleys... it's so... sensual...

You rub your hands along its painted metal, feeling its texture, hearing the weird scraping sound your scales make from your movements. This shouldn't actually be very sexy but here you are.

You glance over and catch Skif staring at your ass. Well then! If he's going to do that, you're not even remotely hiding how much you're enjoying his interactions with these wonderful, amazing machines! Oh yeah. Flex those fluffy muscles.

...Is this weird? This is weird, isn't it.

Well, so what! You're a dragon who's a lizard with tits! We're well beyond worrying if something's weird or not!

You work on your speed and endurance. Then you realize you don't have an endurance stat and decide it's time for a change.

Paper, pencil, and dry-erase markers later, and voila!

it felt safer than trying to make actual changes to a very badly damaged screen

Now then! Since it's been a while since your stats have mattered, you take a moment to remind yourself what they all mean.

-TILDE or ~: How 'in the mood' you are. Due to the damaged seal, this rises faster than normal and is hard to lower. The speed it rises is greatly affected by LUST. Euia's barrier no longer functions, so you should take care not to hold back your 'release' once TILDE gets too high.

LUST: Your body's general randiness. This affects how fast you gain ~, and is entirely determined by where you are in your egg cycle. Since you've laid a clutch two days ago, it's not currently very high. It will slowly rise as the days go by, sharply rising once you're ready to lay.

You won't have to deal with it getting very high before Euia's return, since early summer generally puts your egg cycle around 26 days. He's going to be back in nine or ten days, so.

DRAGON: You uh. You broke this one a little. It used to go up whenever you did something 'dragon-y', acting as a sort of battery for your draconic energies. You were able to tap into that power to greatly enhance your magic for a time, something you dubbed a D-BURST.

Right now you kind of have to 'guess' how full it is, and the only way you can use up D-ENERGY (Denergy?) is to bring out your D-WINGS. Thankfully, it generally rose slowly and you had just emptied it (and then some) so you're in no current danger.

VIGOR: How physically strong you are. Compared to most mortal races, you're below average.

SPEED: How quickly you move. You're pretty average, having long since lost the edge you had playing FOOTSOCKBALL.

MIND: A measure of general intellect and ability to solve problems and come up with ideas. You're among the best, with recent events proving this is unrelated to general wisdom or 'ability to make good decisions'.

As a child you believed this was somehow tied to magical ability, but you've since realized that magic isn't something you gain by being smart. It's actually more unfair than that, since magic is largely determined by what you were infused with when hatched. Or, in your case, by being actually a dragon.

You've become a (DRAGON) HISTORY BUFF, and know a lot about the LORE of the world. Despite this, you often find yourself explaining things to yourself. Strange, that.

APPEAL: Your sexual 'intuition'. Appeal allows you to gauge how your partner(s) are feeling, what they're enjoying, and how to turn a good time into a great time. A certain lizard couple has shown the importance of experience and technique, but APPEAL helps get you a lot of the way there.

You've proven to be a natural, since you've yet to fail to get an orgasm out of someone. Even Eezeryh succumbed to the power of your APPEAL!

VIM: Your overall stamina, determining how hard you can push your physical body. Affects how much energy you lose doing physical activities, and your overall fitness. You have no trouble walking places, but the run to Daatra's house revealed that your VIM isn't what it used to be.

If you choose to 'top' during sex, it could be good to have more VIM. If you're being the 'bottom', one could argue that passing out from exhaustion would bring pride to your partner. A hidden benefit of low VIM?

...You probably want more VIM.

Focusing on VIM will make your body more fit, shrinking your belly a bit. But the effect will be minor unless you specifically focus on toning up your abdomen.

You end up spending the majority of your time working on your legs (so streeetchyyy~), but make some time for Yoga.

"Sure you don't want to join me?" you ask Skif.

"Nah, I'm good just watching."

"Watching my ass, you mean."

"Only when not watching your thick tail and thighs. Or your back. Or your shoulders. Or your dragony feet~"

"Sounds like I've earned a little massage from my admiring knight later~"

"A price I'll gladly pay until the day I die, mistress."

Flirting aside, it's nice to have someone who appreciates your entire body and not just two specific parts of it. You hadn't gotten a good look at your backside, but it sounds like you're doing juuust fine. Wait, what was that last thing he mentioned?

You look at your feet, an easy task since they're right beside your face. Huh! Guess they do look more dragony now. But why would... does Skif have a thing for feet?

Anyway. You move on to working your upper body. As you grope utilize the sexy sexy machine, you can't help but notice someone... familiar.



What will you do?

A: Speak to the strange reptillian. You're quite curious about that tail of theirs.
B: Spend more time working out. It's only like 10am. You mean 'late-morning' since we're totally not using numbers.

New friends are nice but they're clearly trying to master the machines. If you don't have any guidance, they'd probably prefer not to be distracted.

I'd say B but it seems like you didn't really warm up much and as a few people have mentioned yesterday was kind of a workout. Consider today an exercise in getting back into the habit of working out every day! Which is really how you make gains. And speaking of getting into the habit, you want to associate the gym with good things, so I'm going to vote for C!

Aside from your fun with Skif, if you really trust the rooms are private then you should ask Skif if he has any suggestions for doing exercise in your dragon form.

I mean proportionally, compared to all the other characters we have come across, their skeletal structure (sans tail hand thing) seems to match Ceri's the most. They are similar the same way two humans are similar when compared to a human and an orangutan.

They look like another dragon, albeit flat and spiky. I suggest Ceri talk to them and probe the subject, but try to be somewhat discreet about it as to not give away her identity. We dont want to get dragged into a deathmatch here, and from what i recall, that is probably what will happen if a dragon finds Ceri.

Might also want to check the gym for more Skifs. Unknown dragons or riders could potentially do anything from just having a polite conversation to tranqing Ceri or going for her jugular.

Ok, that has got to be some kind of racist thing! You can’t just assume that lizard guy is a dragon just because its body shape is similar to Ceri’s body shape!

Ceri should definitely not literally ask if they are a dragon, nor should she tell them that she is one. What I am saying is she should make conversation and indirectly approach the subject (maybe talk about dragons or riders or maybe even just magic objectively and see how they react).
When I was talking about shape, it was the legs that specifically stood out to me. I haven't seen anyone with legs that bent other than Ceri.

Additionally, I just noticed that we have encountered them before!
>>882089

Ceri ran them over when she was running from the Dragon Fanatic. Another thing to note, although this could admittedly be a red herring, Skif's mom was close by when it happened,

That is the exact same thing I pointed out earlier: >>894713 ! I also pointed out that it could be the shy purple lizard guy from when we were selling things at Love Yourself (although it’s hard to tell with no color).

>Legs look the same.
I’m sorry, but that is an extremely dumb reason to believe the lizard guy is a dragon in disguise.

>Skif's mom was close by when it happened, meaning they could have been together at the time.
If they were together, which they’re not, then Ceri would’ve run past them at the same time, which she didn’t.

Skiff’s mom was further down the road, nowhere near the lizard thing when Ceri ran past them.

Looks like they head to your MAGIC STAT SCREEN, since all magic is boosted during a D-BURST.
