Someone cleared their throat behind her."I wouldn't expect you to understand. Not that that's a bad thing...but you're a human." The voice was mature and soft, words strung together as if there was elegance implied behind it. ( Here take a ~pffpfpp~ Draik. ) |

She clutched at the area of her chest she'd watched explode when the other Artemis came at her from behind. She turned slowly to face the voice. ( Here take a ~pffpfpp~ Draik. ) ((pft |D )) She blinked several times.Chiller: ... You have an awesome voice. None of the dragons I've met before ever talked to me. Do you know where we are? Can you read this stuff? I appreciate you not eating me and hope you continue in the "not eating" course of actions. |

Her gaze met that of a decently-sized black dragon, with teal scales lining their underside. Their posture didn't indicate aggression, and they simply stood with their neck arched to look down at Chiller.( Here take a ~pffpfpp~ Draik. ) ((pft |D )) She blinked several times.Chiller: ... You have an awesome voice. None of the dragons I've met before ever talked to me. Do you know where we are? Can you read this stuff? I appreciate you not eating me and hope you continue in the "not eating" course of actions. "...thank you. I don't have any plans to eat you, humans don't particularly taste well I heard. And you're....you must not be from earth then." They arch their neck back up and look around the whiteness."You really don't belong here then. Really." They shuffled over to lean in and inspect the scripture, neck possessing a great deal of flexibility with movements smoothed over like waves."I'd take it you aren't dead either?" |

Chiller: No, I'm not from Earth, and I'm not dead. How could I be talking to you if I were dead? I might be hallucinating. Or maybe I got caught in a warp. I bet I got caught in a warp. These weird animals showed up in the warp zone- this black sludge-y parasite thing with at least animal level intelligence. They have the warp monster look, but they traveled in a pack and they seemed to care about each other. Warp monsters don't do that. But they were too close to the populated parts of the city, and I watched them feed. It was gross. I had to kill them, but I feel bad about it. And after that there was a blue mist, and I tried to get away but it caught me. And now I'm here. |

The steadiness of the voice continued."...thank you. I don't have any plans to eat you, humans don't particularly taste well I heard. And you're....you must not be from earth then."

And after that there was a blue mist, and I tried to get away but it caught me. And now I'm here. "Mmhhh..." They made a sound of some emotion that was hard to decipher. Contempt perhaps? Frustration?"You could be dead and still talking to me. But that isn't the case here." They thumped a "hand" onto the writing, covering it up."Explain what you know of these warps, that you mentioned?" |

She shrugged and watched the dragon, taking particular interest in their neck muscles.Chiller: No, I'm not from Earth, and I'm not dead. How could I be talking to you if I were dead?

They thumped a "hand" onto the writing, covering it up."Explain what you know of these warps, that you mentioned?" Chiller: Reality and dimension warps bring creatures from other worlds to ours. Sometimes they're harmless, and sometimes they're intelligent. In those cases we try to accommodate them. But the warp zones in the abandoned district change directions faster and mix together, usually killing whatever was caught in the warp. But sometimes a warped creature survives. These warp monsters are aggressive and powerful, and if they get too close to the populated areas of the city they have to be killed. |

Is this.. the afterlife? How can I be here? I don't have a soul. Do humans from my world actually come here? |

The dragon closes their eyes and gives a sigh-like nostril huff."......well then I know why I'm here, at least. If you want, I can see what I can do about getting you back? At least out of this place." Chiller: Yeah, I would like to go back. Where is this place? You mentioned I could be dead and be here. Is this.. the afterlife? How can I be here? I don't have a soul. Do humans from my world actually come here? "This place isn't anywhere specific. It shouldn't be. It's before an afterlife, but it's only for certain universes. How do I explain.....it's tough but this type of thing is different for everyone, and basing this off of you I highly doubt that this is the precursor to the afterlife that your universe may or may not have been graced with. Your humans have nothing to do with this place." |

Though that might make it sound more fun than it actually is. I can't teleport, mind you. But that would be fun." |

"Nothing important. It was trying to talk to you. But there's no point in that, you're not a dragon. This is a conversation you would not want to entertain." They dug their claws into the scripture. |
