Round 1

[hot_mess_express]

[voreaciously]

Very well.

[she rolls a '6'.

and thereafter draws a card.]

"Hug the person you know the least".

[Well, then.]

[featherbeaned]

I'm huggable!

[ she's a helper ]

[voreaciously]

...Very well.

[She hugs her.]

[featherbeaned]

[ It's a warm, soft, cosy hug, if only because she's a warm, soft, cosy dragon. Hugs back with her wings. ]

Easy so far.

[voreaciously]

[80H's hug is

not very good? it's not bad but it seems kind of empty and devoid of feeling.]

I suppose.

[featherbeaned]

[ Hmm. Hm! Hmm? Pulls back some, peering at her with a tilted head and lopsided ears. ]

[voreaciously]

[Many moments pass silently. Nothing is being said and if she notices the inquisitive stare, she does not say anything.]

[featherbeaned]

[ Tilts her head the other way. ]

80H? Are you okay?

[Hi]

[featherbeaned]

[ looks between her paws ]

[ looks at the die ... ... ... ... ]

[ del...icately... tries to pick it up and roll it!! ... fumbles and lands on a 1 ]

Hm. Hmm. Maybe hands are handy.

[bowtiedbones]

Meridian! I need to pretend you confessed to me and answer that, so: Sorry, but I can't mix work and romance like that.

[featherbeaned]

[ GASP ]

[ Flops dramatically onto her back, leggies in the air, with a Highly Dramatic Whine ]

But my heaaaaaaaaaaaart-!

[bowtiedbones]

[hands over her heart, OH NO]

I'm sorry, but my career comes first! This is the best for both of us!

[featherbeaned]

[ THE ]

[ SADDEST ]

[ MOST HEARTBROKEN ]

[ wwwweehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ]

[bowtiedbones]

You'll find someone better! You deserve better!

[featherbeaned]

No. No! My heart is for you, and now, now it's broken. Forever. Broken forever.

[ Paffs her tail over her face, hiding it from view. ]

Re: Round 1

[daydreamshimmer]

[She looks a bit tired right now, like she's had a hard night's sleep, but she's here.]

[Rolling a dice with telekinesis and gets a five. Landing on a pink and.]

[Ah]

I am sitting quietly after reading my card! Waiting for my turn or perhaps to help others with their tasks.

[featherbeaned]

[ raises a paw! ]

I need to sit on somebody's lap! Do you have a lap? Would you mind having a dragon on it?

[daydreamshimmer]

I am currently looking you over and judging how weird it would be as a pony.

You're probably too big for that as a pony, I have decided and might make it hard to keep playing.

So I am now changing with magic into a human.

[POOF]

And now I am a human whose lap you can sit in.

[featherbeaned]

[ That is so cool. ]

I can shapeshift, too! And get smaller. [ She shrinks down to the size of a house cat, then to a dormouse, then back up to around the size of a labrador before she bounces over to sprawl on Flare's lap. ]

[daydreamshimmer]

I am thinking that would have been good to know before, but I guess I can deal with this for now.

At least it is not hard to change back to normal.

I am now sitting here with a dra-GH-on in my lap. [Because heavy dragon, oof.]

[....okay, she's petting though.] And petting feathers.

[featherbeaned]

Didn't think 'bout it until you shifted! [ Oops. ]

[ Wiggles some to get comfy and settled, her soft, fluffy feathers poofing up some.]

Behind the ears, get behind the ears.

[daydreamshimmer]

You were almost as big as me, how can you forget?

I am scratching the dragon Meridian behind the ears.

[Scratch scratch]
