I'm beginning to think you like putting me in places that are out of my element. That includes the Underworld, even if there were several viral outbreaks.

I've enjoyed the break, you know. Not having to watch my back all day is a nice change of pace. I knew it wouldn't last forever, but even for you, this is a bit of a stretch. I'm sure you remember how my last run-in with a dragon went. [Read: I tried to shoot him. Luckily, he understood English and friendly times were later had.]

I don't think you need to go screwing around with canon point ideas, either. If you ask me, I'm going to be an awkward fit no matter what I was doing before I arrived; you might as well save us the trouble of updating later.

[Did someone mention dragons?

Dragons are wonderful creatures, Jill, why would you try to kill one? Also, yes, this is a white wolf.

Staring.

Tail thumping the floor.

Looking pretty friendly. Those ears are just screaming for a scratch, aren't they?]

[flipkicking]

[Because said dragon was knocking stuff down and freaking out and Jill was only half-conscious at the time and it was just a little startling.

...Okay, yes, that is a cute wolf. I think I fought you in MvC3 And wolves practically = dogs as long as they're not trying to kill her, so she'll lean over to extend a hand towards those scratchable ears.]

Hey, there. You got dropped in this place, too, huh?

[resolvere]

[YES WE FOUGHT I won because GOD

Oh no, Amaterasu has no reason to try and kill her—she's not evil incarnate or anything close to it. Evil incarnate doesn't get on with her so well, definitely doesn't get close enough to aaaahhh that feels so good, listen to that tail hit the floor, look at that doofy, dumb happy face.

She nods. Like a human, her head goes up and down twice in succession before her maw falls open and her tongue falls out yes Jill keep scratching.]

[flipkicking]

[God > P30, I am not too proud to admit this

That makes her grin, because she totally has a soft spot for the cute things. And really, she's not too surprised that she appears to understand her. She'd keep talking to her either way, honestly.]

That's too bad. It can't be a very fun place for you, huh?

[resolvere]

[Golly gee, asking questions that need answers so soon? Your fingers, Jill, she will miss them forever...

But she looks down, a paw thumping against the ground in front of her where gasp! Letters, as though put down by an invisible brush, begin to appear and form words and look at that!

IT DEPENDS ON ONE'S DEFINITION OF FUN TO BEGIN WITH.

And she just looks so sweet and placid, aaaw.]

[flipkicking]

[.............Oh wow

okay

didn't see that coming

at all.

But she's seen weirder. Like a cooking panda. So it's all good.]

I guess so. I just wasn't thinking it was good for that much, generally speaking. [Other than complaining. Or trying to reason with the unreasonable.]

[resolvere]

[BUT PO WAS THE BEST RIGHT? You know, bear-wise. Amaterasu is the best wolf, okay, but she will concede defeat to the panda.

PERHAPS YOU SHOULD WORK WITH YOUR MUN MORE. YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR SOME TIME, YES?]

[flipkicking]

[Totes was.

That gets a part-smirk smile.] We get along most of the time. Probably better than most. There are just some ideas I'm not too fond of.

[btw totally going back to scratching those cute ears, now.]

[ridewithdestiny]

Canon point ideas? Uh-oh. I'm pretty sure that's the first sign that things are going to be... interesting. Interesting is probably putting it lightly.

[flipkicking]

[Claiiiiiire. Long time, no see, sister.]

"Interesting" is one word for it. I wouldn't think taking me from the same point twice would be enough to warrant "mixing things up," but... [But does she listen? No. that's why Jill's here.]

[ridewithdestiny]

Where is she taking you from, if you don't mind me asking? [She's glad to see you Jill, even if it's about weird circumstances.]

I'm not sure I would tempt fate about "mixing things up". Especially with all the consequences it could have.

[flipkicking]

She's thinking the middle of the last game this time around. Or somewhere after 2006 leading up to it. [It's said with a 100% neutral face, to Jill's credit -- even if she doesn't want to be stuck with certain things as a result of such a choice.]

She's all about tempting fate, unfortunately. Or seeing what she can make of it, especially if it's a chance to test her creativity.

[ridewithdestiny]

Ouch. That's... I'm sorry, Jill. I mean I know you won't remember it where ever you're going, but at least you know he's coming. [she smiles a bit. Thinking positive has always been her style.]

I know that feeling, trust me. It's like a lose-win situation.

....Claire ;~; You always know what to say

[flipkicking]

[Her carefully blank expression softens at that -- and there might be a touch of something like wistful in the small smile she gives after a moment.]

...Yeah. It's hard to explain, but... I think I always knew that. Somehow.

[Jill nods, although whether it's to herself or in response to Claire is anyone's guess. A bit of both, in truth.] Thanks, Claire. You're right. Whatever happens, I'll get through it, like always.

[abandonedlegacy]

Dragons...Like any of us really need more shit to deal with.

And lady? Good luck with those canon points, I count myself lucky not to have any for this one to choose from yet.

[flipkicking]

Depending on how aggressive these ones are, I might have dealt with worse.

[It's an odd sense of... almost-deja-vu she gets, looking at this guy.

...Must be imagining things. She nods, the gesture grateful.]

Thanks. Same to you, once that time rolls around.

[abandonedlegacy]

The mun seems to think you have--seems to know a lot about your history to make that call.

[He wouldn't know, he doesn't know you at all. He's here because he's made to be.]

There's already plans, apparently. So I won't get off that lucky. Same old, same old where I'm concerned.

[flipkicking]

I try not to make assumptions in my line of work, but I'm... confident, at least. It's the little details that are getting me on this one.

[That gets a knowing look.] That seems to be the common case around here. On the bright side, at least we're more or less used to it. [/optimist forever. Even your dad couldn't beat that out of her, bro.]

[abandonedlegacy]

Assumptions get your ass handed right back to you. [He frowns.] What little details, exactly?

[Jeez, daddy-dearest failed then--just like with everything else.] They don't give you much choice. You either get with the program or you're dragged along for the ride anyway.

[flipkicking]

That's one way of putting it. [She shrugs one shoulder slightly; no point getting personal with a stranger.] The kind designed to make things a little more difficult on my end.

[If you asked Jill, she'd say Wesker failed at life. B|] Pretty much. I'm not at odds too often with mine, but she finds a way now and again to drive me crazy. Hopefully yours is a little less... spontaneous.
