Ugh, okay I wasn't going to add to the flood of people talking about weird visions but there's this one bit of the one I saw that is really sticking with me.

The vision: A pair of dragons were fighting. They were WAY bigger than the ones you guys brought back. The smaller of the two was like the size of a bus. Then while I watch it all an evil tree spoke to me, saying something like "You aren't the only one who has a mascot!" Which, who knows what that means.

That's not the weird part.

The weird part is One of the dragons was using Liminal Portals.

Also being drunk is weird. Being hungover is terrible.

... you sure you weren't just seeing some wacky dream?

[haremtrap]

It does kind of sound like a dream, doesn't it? But everyone else is talking about weird visions they had. If it was just a dream, then there's some kind of mass dream epidemic spreading through us and that warrants a fuckin' investigation in and of itself, wouldn't you say?

It wasn't, though, because I was wide awake when I saw it.

[rustyhonesty]

That's true. I guess a lot of guys picked a skill that lets you look into the future. Talking evil trees though...

Did you see it on one of those rooms?

[haremtrap]

Yeah.

[leftbehindagain]

...Can you describe the rest of the surroundings or the dragons beyond their size, at all?

[haremtrap]

The bigger one was like the size of a school building, and had a kind of western look to it. The smaller one was like half invisible and had a more eastern appearance. The whole thing was in some kind of forest that was on fire because, you know...

Dragons.

The tree looked like its roots were shaped like chains, and like it was slowly turning into black glass or something.

Half-invisible Eastern dragons might be Bando - I don't know if anyone actually got to see them in person, given that the Arcana kicked a few of them out of their shrines to talk to us instead, but air and wood are two of their major elements. If it's tied to the air or using the trees as conduits somehow, that might account for the invisibility.

The other one's definitely not a Jangwan dragon, that's for sure...

[leftbehindagain]

...oh. Oh no.

Which dragon was using the portals?

[haremtrap]

The little one was definitely using air and wood.

The big one was using the portals, though.

[highsteaks]

Do you think one of the dragons belonged to the evil tree?

[haremtrap]

Definitely possible.

My first thought was that it was referring to the Arcana keeping US as mascots, so maybe it got a dragon to counter us.

[highsteaks]

... I don't know how I feel about our opposite numbers being dragons.

[She really hopes she doesn't have to fight dragons. She likes dragons. Even if the babies set towns on fire when there's too many magic guys around.]

[haremtrap]

Oh I know how I feel about our opposite numbers being dragons.

[loyalrebel]

Ah. So that is what he was doing.

My... suggestion when this comes is to focus on getting people out of the area and containing the fighting to a single area.

[haremtrap]

Probably a good idea.

It’s just kinda frustrating. I was literally going to school to specifically fight monsters like this, but just looking at it...There’s no way I’m up to it.

[loyalrebel]

It is good to know your own limits, and besides...

This is not our fight. It is the Arcana's. We can chose to protect the people of a world while also not throwing ourselves in to certain death.

[haremtrap]

That's...actually kinda helps. Sometimes I get caught up in the whole Thing with the Arcana trying to boss us around, so it's good to be reminded that they're not really on our side sometimes.

[whatspringislike]

We have to fight dragons?

[haremtrap]

Fuck no we don't have to fight them. We just have to deal with them. My plan if I see any dragons that big is to run away.

[whatspringislike]

But... won't they hurt people?

[haremtrap]

Well...yeah. I've got a sword, though. I don't know what you want me to do about a dragon the size of Godzilla.

[hatefuldays]

That sucks. Do you think it was worth it?

[haremtrap]

Maybe if I did it with people my age who were ALSO drinking. Less fun with a bunch of grownups in masks judging you.

[hatefuldays]

Sorry about that! I would have joined you, if I could, but I'm pretty sure my body isn't capable of getting drunk.

[haremtrap]

I bet you need a special app for that.
