[action] Heatwave! This is our island in the sun...

[waytobreakithero]

[ After falling asleep on the scratchy, kind of smelly, uncomfortable carpet in the strange "office", one usually doesn't expect to wake up somewhere completely different.

Certainly not a hotter, more tropical version of the Wounded Coast. But the sun and fresh air and increased space did wonders for her mood and ability to accept yet one more odd situation.

And that little device had come with her. More and more interesting. ]

A settlement, hm? Someone is certainly having fun at our expense. [ Stretches and begins to brush the sand from her hair. ] Still, this is much more entertaining. [ She looks up at the sky and salutes.

Then she tucks her gauntlets into her belt and loosens the collar of her armor as she begins her hike along the shoreline. Best to find out if she had been brought here alone, and what sort of people she would need to work with to not dehydrate or starve. ]

Anyone here? Hello? If you're thinking to ambush me, I'll have you know I'm secretly a dragon. Hopefully that will not deter you.

Should I ever learn, I'd be happy to teach. The world needs more shapeshifting dragons.

[ Now she's considering what else he said. ] Perhaps I'll trade for your trick of staying "cool" in heat like this. [ She has possibly misunderstood your slang. ]

[howbigcanitbe]

Do they ever.

[He chuckles at her trade. It can be taken both ways.] Helps to be fireproof. Good cigar doesn't hurt either. [He digs one out of his pocket and offers it to her.]

[ Steps forward to take it, though just to inspect. ] Certainly smells like all the taverns in Hightown I've ever been to. [ Complimentary! ] I won't deprive you of it. Given the locale, you might have to conserve.

Have you seen anyone else around?

[howbigcanitbe]

There've been a coupla people runnin' 'round like they're bein' chased by somethin'. [He takes a puff of his cigar.]

They ain't.

[Being chased that is.]

[waytobreakithero]

Well, that's always the best way to fix a situation.

[ Holds up her device. ]

Did you get this message too?

[howbigcanitbe]

Yeah, well tell them that.

[ he nods at her question. ]

Yeah, I've been considerin' how we're going to make that happen and what happens if we don't.
