[yoooo jae-ha aka i'm too lazy to figure out the setting for this pc but it's happening somewhere.]

I feel like we should be throwing a party.

[alttitude]

Oh? What kind?

[axilium]

... More like multiple businesses?

[alttitude]

What.... kinds....?

[plural]

[axilium]

[...]

Well, one of our biggest is that we're in charge of the power plants, since we developed the energy source to begin with.

[alttitude]

[what the fuck]

Energy... source?

[this is an entirely different genre]

Your world sounds like an interesting one.

[axilium]

Electricity will be too much of a pain to explain if you don't already know.

[aka he's not explaining it for free, because ugh, effort.]

I guess? It's pretty normal, all things considered.

[alttitude]

Do you think? It already sounds like it has a lot of things I'm not familiar with.

[axilium]

Well, your tapestry calls you a dragon. That's a lot weirder to me.

[alttitude]

Ah - well I'm hardly a common thing in my world, so you'd be in the same place as many people.

[axilium]

I'll make that my next question, then: what's with the dragon thing?

[alttitude]

[ . . . ]

That's a very long answer. Would you like the beginning, middle, or near-end?

[axilium]

... The interesting parts?

[alttitude]

Hiryuu, the Red Dragon, chose one day to become human - but he ran into a few problems. So the dragon gods, who loved him dearly, begged him to return to the heavens with them. When he refused, they chose humans to become their counterparts as the Dragon Warriors.

Those humans were then bound to serve, protect, and love King HIryuu for as long as they lived - and even after they died, the dragon's blood continued to pick successors from the villages the dragons were in.

I'm the latest incarnation of the Green Dragon, gifted with a leg that can let me soar into the heavens.

[that sounds interesting enough right]

[axilium]

... Your life seriously sounds like it came out of some kind of a fantasy story.

[alttitude]

It does, doesn't it?

But ah - that's all I've ever known. I don't really care to follow any of those prophecies, though.

[axilium]

[...]

Don't care to follow the path others set out for you, huh?

[alttitude]

Never.

[such an easy response]

It's a bit worse than that - the dragon's blood tells me exactly where I'm meant to go, who I'm supposed to serve.... it's really quite ugly.

[axilium]

... Ah. That really does sound like it sucks.
