Hey, it's Morgan! If you were expecting a girl, you picked the wrong picture. If not, then congratulations! But sorry too, because this means I've missed you. Leave a message!

Ah, Sonia's world was like that too. [ Does she even know Sonia... he has no idea. ] She was telling me that dragons only ever existed in stories in her world! Is that the case for you too?

[occute]

Mm, that's right. Are they real in your world, Morgan?

[ she looks slightly enchanted by the idea. ]

[memlost]

Mm-hm. I'm friends with a few! If they ever drop by Haven, I'll be sure to introduce you. The thing is, dragons in my time can only assume their fangy, scaly forms with the aid of a Dragonstone. The rest of the time, they're just kinda cute and lovable people.

[ His view of dragonfolk is somewhat skewed... ]

So I was thinking! Maybe your dragons really existed in the past, but lost their Dragonstones and/or the ability to transform over time?

[occute]

[ Wow. She's never heard this conspiracy theory before, but, as Ada is wont to do, she likes it immediately, and leans in with interest ]

You mean... you think there could be dragons walking amongst us, and we just have no way of knowing?

[memlost]

[ ADA YOU'RE GETTING REALLY INTO THIS but Morgan is all too happy to encourage this behavior. ]

Totally! The dragons who refused to seal their powers into stones and adopt human forms became mindless, so they might have gone extinct. But even looking like humans, the rest can live for thousands and thousands of years! Maybe they've secreted themselves away to some remote corner in your world?

[occute]

[ she is totally into this, look at the sparkle in her eyes ]

Yes...! That could be possible! After all, there are plenty of supernatural things in my world! Most people don't know about them, but I've studied a lot. I would love to meet a dragon...

[memlost]

[ Cute... This is why you're the mascot, Ada. ]

Hehe. There's every possibility! You never know what the next batch of newcomers will bring. But I had no idea you were so interested in this kind of thing, Ada.

[occute]

[ oh. She got really excited without noticing... Suddenly, she looks rather self-conscious, cheeks coloring. ]

O-oh... I-it's not like I'm really interested! It's just... a hobby?

[ she's really interested ]

[memlost]

... Yeah, I think that means you're actually interested. I don't think it would be a hobby otherwise?

[ CORRECT HIM IF HE'S WRONG... ]

If I'd known sooner, I would've made sure to show you some of my magic! Noire knows a bit about dark magic too, seeing as how her mother is an expert on hexes and curses.

[occute]

[ she weighs the pros and cons of being honest about this. On one side, it's a totally weird and creepy interest, she's aware, and the idea of it getting out to the public is embarrassing.

On the other side... real dark magic. Hexes and curses. That has to be worth it. ]

... Really?!

[memlost]

Really! ... For real! You might not guess it by looking at Noire, but her mom's your typical dark mage. Dark hair, gloomy stylings, creepy laugh... She stalks my mom all the time!

[ He doesn't have to sound so cheerful about that... but he does. ]

[occute]

Ehh, really...? I never would have guessed. I wish she was here...

[ they'd have so many things to discuss. So many. Ada would drive her absolutely insane. ]

[memlost]

[ They can post Ada as a guard whenever they or hypothetical Robin need privacy... He pours them each a little bit of tea. ]

She certainly is a character. She's a hoot to experience, magic or no magic. In the meantime, I bet there are others around who know a lot about the supernatural too! The Anguished One seems to know a lot about ghosts, for instance.

[occute]

The... The Anguished One?

[ WHAT A NAME... She blinks at him in confusion. That's not a very nice thing to call someone. ]

[memlost]

Mm-hm. He has white hair and wears this searing black-and-red striped coat. But he's friendly and all kinds of knowledgeable! Highly recommended.

[ Friendly by Morgan standards is more like "tolerates my cheer," though... ]

[occute]

W-wait... His name is really "The Anguished One?" That's a terrible name...

[ the rest is great, yes, but let's focus on this name, because what. ]

[memlost]

Isn't it? But he seems pretty entertained with life, most of the time. Maybe it's a reverse psychology thing -- like being named Tiny and growing up to be extra tall?

[ yes ]
