paradisa | first design [ dictated / action ]

Well since this thing's already decided to announce that I'm here it seems pointless to stay silent on it, although I still don't really know how I feel about the whole thing.

[ If you can hear the sound of chopping in the background? That's because she is. She's making a sandwich ]

I find it hard to believe that I'd be the only one to say this but it's crazy. Magic and castle's that can bring you here? It's not right, although neither is a lot that I've known about but that's slightly different still.

And an even better part than that? I've heard that even worse things can happen, although to whoever told me that's not exactly the kind of thing that you want to hear when you've just been whisked off to some strange place. It's not exactly comforting when you know absolutely nothing about any of this stuff.

And for everyone else here? I don't know how you can handle it. Kids running around and things just happening? It's madder by the minute.

[ There's a pause as Christina thinks, and stops chopping ]

I guess what I want to know is how do you handle it? Especially when this kind of thing just doesn't exist? Because I'm already starting to wonder if I've gone crazy, although I certainly couldn't have come up with anything like this. I hope, anyway.

[ And anyone around? Come find her in the kitchen ]

And you live somewhere that humans haven't heard of.

That is hardly surprising. We all come from different worlds, after all.

I'm starting to see.

[there's a light laugh]

Hast thou met a dragon?

When I arrived.

An auspicious beginning. [hey, you didn't get eaten. That's good.]

And how is that?

Thou didst not manage to insult them and escaped alive.

[grin] Then again, I exaggerate. Who didst thou meet? Spike or Toothless?

Spike. You mean there's more? [ Oh boy ]

Unlike Spike, Toothless is an adult. Regardless, he is still rather adorable.

I wouldn't have said that. [ Dragons, adorable? ]

Didst thou not say thou hast yet to meet him?

I'm talking generally. It's not the word I'd have used

Large, fire-breathing, princess-gobbling monsters, yes?

Do me a favor and do not treat Spike as such.

I've seen him. He's... small. [ Not a bad thing, and he'd actually been nice ]

Yes. He is but a child. [pony-raised dragons seem to be more sensitive about the whole murdering monster thing.

There might be the sound as feathers as she stretches.] As long as we are in agreement.
