You guys usually have weather like this? Nothin' but rain and sleet... it's enough to get anybody down. [He looks back at the video feed, grinning.]

That said, since the weather's keepin' me in, thought I'd bug ya all with a question or two.

First, I'm tryin' ta fix up a place to stay. This place doesn't happen to've dragged in a hardware store or somethin', does it? Anyplace I could pick up some tools? Be nice ta get my hands on a bit of paint an' plaster, too.

Second thing is I've been hearin' a lot about what happened last week, and somebody told me weird things happen every other week 'round this joint. Anybody willin' to tell me stories about what they've seen when? You never know, maybe we can figure out what's comin' if we look at what's happened before.

Haven't heard about that one yet. Did it happen on the same schedule?

[Eyebrows up.] Anybody managed to talk to 'em, or are they just animals?

Right around it, if I remember right.

Seems like they're just animals. I haven't heard a word out of them and I did try to talk first. [Banter really but still counts.]

Huh. [Are the strange events not driven by the Animus? Why would they cause their own devices to malfunction?]

Might not speak the same language. [He wonders if imprinting would work.] Well, it's gonna be hard gettin' them to heat up the right pile of drywall if I can't communicate.

I'm not sure what caused it but if I remember right, they were trying to reach those that trapped them here. So it drained the systems or something like that.

Might not. But they do have nests.

Hmm. [Every time he thinks he's got a handle on something, it gets more confusing. He represses a sigh.] Somebody else trapped 'em, huh? Anyone know who those guys are?

... ya mean the nests are like ovens, huh?

We know they're scientists and they were screwing around with things they shouldn't have.

Exactly. And if we can't swing that there's always baiting them to set fire to a certain area we set up.

So they trapped the Anima and the Anima are busy makin' our lives hell while they try to get at those guys. There's a karmatic misfire if I ever heard a one.

[Shaking his head, and going back to the more cheerful topic of dragons.] Sounds like you're the expert on those critters. Can ya give me any pointers on trackin' em?

Well you know what they say about crap, it rolls down hill.

First thing is you look for scorched earth. If you can find it, there's a hunting ground around there somewhere. Enough critters in the area and you know they'll come back to it.

Ain't that the truth. [Laughing.]

So these dragons, they're the fire-breathin' kind with the big claws and wings, huh?

[Video]

[fairymicrowaver.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. I haven't seen any signs of shapeshifting so at least you'll know them when you see'em.

Thanks -- you got a name?

Nice to meet you. Listen if you need any help with the dragons, I can go out with you or scout it out first.

[Video]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Nice ta meetcha too. Might take ya up on that when I head out... I'll get myself some materials together first, though. No point in chasin' down a dragon if I'm not all ready for the kiln, huh?

[Video]

[fairymicrowaver.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan. Good luck.

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

Thanks. See ya round. [A casual wave, and he cuts the feed.]
