[Quite frankly, the whole of this situation has Jae-Ha seething. This tree - this world - is nothing but a glorified cage. As pleasant as some of it may appear, there's no saving the fact that he's locked in, not to mention other people, as well. At the least, he seems to have caught on to that ray of sunshine, which he uses, but it's not as though it continues to erase all of the bitterness that comes with being here.

But nevertheless. —He seems more at ease, than not, when appearing.

. . . A certain White Dragon, though, just to the side of the screen, does not.]

This amber is very impressive, really. To think that conversing across distances can happen instantly was even remotely possible. . .

But ah- More importantly! My name is Jae-Ha, and I'd like to most humbly offer myself to assist anyone who would like a few lessons in flight, as I'm sure that coordination might be—

[He starts, only to be (rudely!) interrupted.] Jae-Ha! [It's clear the frantic, white haired dragon in the background is not at all happy with the situation, glaring at Jae-Ha from behind.] Your 'services' are hardly what is important right now. Get this off of me already!!

[That being Kija's gem is smack dab in the middle of his forehead, courtesy of some wonderful tree sap, therefore forcing the presence of his wings.]

Don't worry, it'll loosen up within a day. [or something]

That's too long! [He practically despairs.] I- I cannot stand to have these horrible things to be around for another second! AH-! [Nooooo] The Dragon Claw is sticky with sap now, too!

[Jae-Ha just lets out an exasperated sigh] They're a beautiful set of wings, Kija-kun. Now you can fly without any of my assistance, even. Take advantage of it. Your complaining will get you nowhere.

I REFUSE!! [Before Jae-Ha can do much of anything, then, a white scaled dragon claw reaches out and all but grabs his arm to get his full attention - and hopefully succeed in removing the stone, leading the feed to cut off short.]


[ooc: replies will come from either or both!]

Comments

[monster_san]

Ah, so you two have previous experience in flying? It's very generous to offer assistance to your fellow newcomers.

[JUST IGNORING THE FIGHT GOING ON THERE YUP.]

[backstory]

I have no such experience.

[ That is the Green Dragon's thing. Kija is perfectly content with his claw. ]

And if I did, it would be much more regal than insect wings!

[monster_san]

Oh! My apologies, I didn't mean to offend. I think they're rather beautiful up-close, though.

[backstory]

[ No they are the worstttt ]

I cannot even identify which type of insect I have been cursed with...

[monster_san]

It looks like a dragonfly's wings to me--very graceful creatures, in my opinion.

[backstory]

. . . A dragonfly?

[monster_san]

Yes--ah, do you have them in your world? I'm not an expert, but I know a little about them.

[backstory]

We have them.

[ Even if he mainly avoids them. ]

. . . At least this particular bug possesses a very noble name.

[monster_san]

I've always thought of them as noble. They're so beautifully colored and skillful, I always watch them when I'm near a lake or a pond.

[backstory]

Then I wonder why your own are different, as well as Jae-Ha's. [ Shouldn't he be a dragonfly too ]

[monster_san]

It has to do with the gem you select when you arrive. But that raises the question of why there are two different gems, of course.

[backstory]

So if I were to grab a different piece of rock right now, it would change?

sorry for the late!

[monster_san]

Oh, perhaps it would! I don't know if anyone has tried that yet.

[jadewine]

[A FANTASTIC IDEA.]

Only myself, actually, however I have carried Kija around several times before.

But of course I must offer. I'd very much love to meet each and every one of the ladies in this world, and thought it would be a wonderful way to do so. However in general, it's no fun to collide into things, and as I had been about to say in the earlier transmission, I can only imagine that coordination could be a difficult thing to be able to control for those who have never flown before. If I can assist in that, well, I'm sure others might benefit.

[monster_san]

[oh boy.]

Some gentlemen might take you up on the offer as well. But you're right, it has taken some getting used to--it's kind of you to help people avoid bruises and broken bones.

[jadewine]

['Oh boy' is sure right.]

Ah, yes. I know. I can make exceptions, though. [nothing wrong at if any of those gentlemen are good looking, either, of course.] It's not an issue either way- as you say, ultimately I would like to help others in giving them the skills so that they can avoid such injuries.

[monster_san]

Yes, especially since we have rather limited medical supplies here. It's good to see a newcomer like yourself so eager to help out.

[jadewine]

I'd like to think so, as well. I don't like these circumstances in the slightest, however still will take as much control over what I'm allowed to do, and where I'm able.

[Well that's rather surprising.]

Is there any reason why they're limited? Shouldn't herbs and the like be accessible in a place like this?

[monster_san]

[oh right fantasy worlds are usually low-tech]

There are plants that grow around the Tree, though I'm afraid I'm not much of a botanist, so I can't tell you how useful they are. [Because the smart option in the 20th century is DON'T EAT IT UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.] I was thinking more of things like wound care and advanced pharmaceuticals.

[jadewine]

[Unfortunately he's not much of an expert, either. That's Yoon's area of expertise. Not that he would wish for the guy to come here, as well.]

I suppose we could use leaves and moss for basic wounds, or at least for abrasions and cuts. [as for that "pharmaceuticals" word, he has no clue about the specifics that entails.]

sorry for the late!

[monster_san]

[Ahh okay she is going to have downshift even more here.]

Oh yes, I've heard moss can be used to staunch bleeding. Willow is useful for pain relief, too, but this isn't that sort of tree.

We do have people with healing abilities, but it's good to have conventional supplies, too.

no worries!

[jadewine]

Healing abilities. . . [there's curiosity within that, before a huff of amusement.] I suppose so, then. This place really is more intriguing by the moment.

[monster_san]

It might not be where we intended to go, but it is certainly fascinating in many ways.

[jadewine]

Very. Although, I'd rather we not be here for long. If we can bring down the ones responsible, the sooner, the better.

[monster_san]

You're assuming that they're an enemy, then?

[Not that she wants an extended stay either.]
