dragnoc: ..*he walks up to the group bullying the shark girl, towering over them (he's 7'1), simply staring at them* leave her be, she's done no wrong.

(peak character btw)



The two boys, one with darker skin, the other a Spanish looking boy with braces, turn around, their eyes widening in shock/fear. The two look at each other, nod, and quickly sprint off, leaving the shark girl looking up at Dragnoc with fear.



"..." She gapes, eyes wide.

She sniffles, wiping a tear from her eyes and holding her plushie tight before answering. "M-mei.... I'm Mei... and this- this is Grape Juice." 



She holds up her shark stuffy, wiping her eyes again.

She smiles, hugging the shark tight to her chest. "Yeah! My momma got her for me before her and daddy..."



Her smile faded, and she sniffled again, burying her face in the shark.

She looked up at Dragnoc, a curious look in her eyes. "Oh? What happened?"



She walked over, holding up Grape Juice to him. "Here. You can hug him to feel better."

..i appreciate the kindness, but you can keep him. i lost my parents to a fire, a forest fire to be specific.

She frowned, hugging Grape Juice close. "Oh no... my momma and daddy were in an accident. That's what the people told me." She whined, hugging the stuffed shark tighter.



"Now I live here now. Sometimes kids get to go with other adults and have a new home but I haven't been picked yet. Are you here to pick me?" She looks up at Dragnoc, a hopeful look in her eyes.

..we share a lot in common, so i suppose it'd be the logical choice. i suppose you need my name as well if you don't feel like calling me "father", i'm dragnoc.

(4 sum reason it won't allow my 2 reply 2 ur latest comment so imma reply 2 this one)



Her eyes lit up, and a smile spread across her face. "Really? Really? You're gonna take me?"



She jumped up and down excitedly, drawing attention from some nearby kids.
Dragnoc

(yeah it limits a string of comments to a certain amount, but you can just go from like the first to keep going) i suppose so, i'd rather not have the kids pick on you again anyway.
Dragnoc

it's.. burned. not a lot of fun to be had there. but in the little time i had there, it was enjoyable.

Her smile fades again, and her movements slow. "Oh... yeah... That's scary... I don't like fire. Fire hurts."
Dragnoc

i don't like it either. it stole everything dear to me.

She kicks a nearby rock, sniffling quietly. "My parents were burned. It was in the newspapers. I found it, even though they tried to hide it from me." She wiped her eyes, tearing up.
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
...mine burned too, although i saw it firsthand. i know how you feel.

She nods, tugging his pant leg. "Can you carry me? My legs hurt and I'm tired... and sad now..." 



Mei looks up at him sadly, wiping her nose on her sleeve.

She snuggles into him, laying her head on the shark stuffy that he was already holding. "Thank... mn... you..." Her eyes close, and she relaxes, almost immediately falling asleep.
Dragnoc

..*he moves carefully to not wake her up* your life will end up better than mine, i'll make sure of it.

An inn is around the corner, somewhat shabby, but it looks like it'll be safe for the night.

(I love that) A room is booked for the two of them, room number 15. Inside are two shaggy beds, creaky floor boards, and a dripping ceiling, but at least it's warm.
Dragnoc

i've lived in worse. *he lays her down on one of the beds and lays down on the other one himself*

The night passes surprisingly quickly. When Dragnoc wakes up in the morning, he finds Grape Juice in his bed, Mei snuggling up behind him.

After what seemed to be forever, Mei wakes up and yawns. "Morning, Mr Dragnoc... mnnommm...." She slurs sleepily, rubbing her eyes.

She nods, following him down the stairs and into the inn's main lobby. "Can I get some oatmeal? Pleeeease?"
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
sure. *he walks up to the innkeeper, grabbing some coins* I need some oatmeal for the kid.
Ur_Local_Demiboy

The innkeeper, a tall, burly orc, nods, counting the counts and trudging into the back kitchen, leaving Mei and Dragnoc to wait.
Dragnoc

*he stands with mei, waiting patiently*

Around five minutes later, the orc walks back out, handing Dragnoc a bowl of oatmeal and nodding. Mei reaches up to grab it, but she's too short.
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
*he grabs it for her and hands it to her, giving the orc a small nod of respect, which is about as respectful of a gesture as can be gotten for a stranger*
Ur_Local_Demiboy
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
She grabs the bowl, making her way to a nearby table. The orc smiles slightly.* "Cute kid. Hybrids are rare, too. Where'd ya get her?"
Dragnoc

orphanage, her parents died so I took her in.
Ur_Local_Demiboy
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
"Ah." The orc clicks his tongue, shaking his head. "Getting real common nowadays, with more and more getting drafted into the king's army. Keep her close, or they'll snatch her along too. They'd pay a pretty penny for a young, impressionable hybrid."
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
if anyone dares touch her, they'll meet the end of my flaming spear, I will not let her be stolen from me like my parents were stolen from me.
Ur_Local_Demiboy

After a moment, the orc nods. "Good on you. We need more passionate men in this nation. The majority of 'em are either greedy whelps or cowardly followers." 



Mei finished her bowl of oatmeal, bringing it over. "All done!"
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
*he hands the bowl back to the orc* in case you want to reuse it. it's better not to waste things nowadays.
Ur_Local_Demiboy
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
The orc sighed sadly. "Unfortunately, yes. With that war going on and all, it's hard to even get by, unless you've got a high standing." He turns back to the kitchen, washing the bowl.
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
I can see that, even for people like me who were raised in forests it's getting hard, this war has burned and scarred many of my homes.
Ur_Local_Demiboy
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
The orc gives a nod of acknowledgement, bowing his head. "Don't I know. My sister died in one of those forests. Hope to Greah that this war ends soon, eh?" 



Mei's walking around curiously, staying near Dragnoc.
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d
I hope it does too, then I might get to properly settle down without fear of getting my home burnt.

She looks at his shoes, a curious look in her eyes. "Wow... are those fire shoes? Do they hurt? They look real cool!"



She seems a lot happier and more outgoing then she was back in the orphanage.
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
they aren't "shoes", my feet are always on fire, but they don't hurt, i'm used to them
Ur_Local_Demiboy
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
"Oh. Wow." She looks a little confused, but she moves on quickly. "That's cool! So- so where are we going next? Can we get a snack? I'm hungry!"



She skips along pulling her shark hood back, revealing little purple fins.
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
sure. i'm sure there's an inn around here that serves fish, if you even like fish to begin with.
Ur_Local_Demiboy
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
She nods, jumping in excitement. "Yeah! I love fish! They're really yummy!!"
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
hm, i figured, most hybrids tend to take their preferences from the animal they're from. *he looks around for a place to buy fish*
Ur_Local_Demiboy

She follows Dragnoc dutifully, not missing a step. She chatters on about random things, a little bounce in her step as she looks around.



"This place is soooo cool!"
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
i suppose so. i'm more used to trees though.
Ur_Local_Demiboy

"Oh yeah! You said you grew up in a forest, right? Is it fun there? I've never been to a forest! Only in the orphanage!" She nearly trips over her own tail, barely righting herself.

"I had a nightmare last night so I came over here..." Mei sniffled, crawling over him and hopping off the bed.

(kk thx!!!)



Mei hugged Dragnoc's leg tightly. She was small, but DAMN she was strong. her hug was nearly bone crushing. "Yay!! I'll have a home! Thank you, Mr Dragnoc!!!"
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
...you're welcome. that's impressive strength, even i can feel it. (he doesn't have the muscle mass, but he's quite strong himself)

She squeals happily, pulling back and dragging Dragnoc over to the director, and old women with circular glasses and white hair. She looks down at Mei and smiles. "Oh, hello, Mei. Who's this?"



Mei jumped up and down excitedly. "He said he was gonna adopt me!
Dragnoc

i'm dragnoc, and yes, i'm going to adopt her.

The lady's smile fades slightly, and she pats Mei on the head. "One moment, Mei. Mr. Dragnoc, would you be willing to come with me for a moment?"



She gestures to a nearby empty room.

(lol)



She leads Dragnoc into the room, pulling out a chair for him. "It's very kind of you to offer to adopt Mei, but she comes with a few... setbacks, I suppose."



After a moment, she continues. "You see, like many of the children here, she both has magic powers, or is a hybrid, and trauma. Her parents were actually traitors to the empire, and they... somewhat neglected her growing up, leaving her on her own. She's also shown that, being a shark hybrid, a bit of bloodlust. She expresses it in mostly little nips and such, but she could become trouble growing up, and her values, due to her upbringing, might not be ideal for you. Are you sure you still want to care for her?"
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
i can handle it. i know what it's like to not have parents, i can treat her well.
Ur_Local_Demiboy
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
She nodded, smiling. "It's good to hear that. She's been here for a while. If you can just fill out this paperwork?" 



She slides a piece of paper over to Dracnoc, nodding.
Dragnoc

After a moment, the woman nods. "Alright. Things are all checked out. You may go. Oh, as you know, hybrids are rare, so not much is known about them, but Mei has tendancies to do shark-like things, and she can breath underwater, so don't worry if she stays under for a while."
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
i figured, there are a few hybrids that lived in the forest i lived in, i'm used to them. *he starts to walk towards mei* if you have anything else you want to grab, i'd grab it now, otherwise let's get going.

"I have all I need!" She followed behind Dragnoc, waving back to a couple of kids. "So, where are we going first? Are you an adventurer? How'd you get that scar? Your hair's really cool, is it naturally that color? Why'd you pick me? What kind of cool things are we going to see? Do you have a home? You're really tall, are you part giant?"



She stopped talking, nervously looking to the ground. "Sorry. Too many questions?"
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
it's fine. just try to do one at a time. *he walks out, looking behind occasionally to make sure she's following
Ur_Local_Demiboy

Mei nods, skipping slightly. "So... are you an adventurer? A lot of them come around here for apprentices and stuff. They mostly take the older kids, though."
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
sort of. i travel a lot and do some adventuring for money.
Ur_Local_Demiboy

She nods, excited. "So I get to travel, too! Right?"



Her shark tail swished behind her, a bounce in her step.
Dragnoc
0 ups, 1d, 1 reply
yes, but i won't actively put you in harms way. you're strong, but i don't want you hurt.

"Mhm! Don't worry, I'll be super good!" She says, making sure to follow Dragnoc closely. She hands Dragnoc the stuffed shark.



"Can you hold Grape Juice for me?"
Dragnoc

*he gently holds the stuffed shark, making sure it doesn't touch his feet so it doesn't get set ablaze*
