I dunno. I just like him. Canon is Jackie Chan Adventures

[shendude]

Whilst it is jarring to be left with little chance of the vengeance I so dearly crave, I will admit to a certain interest in this little arrangement... A master not even in name, whose only commandment is 'be myself?' How delightfully open to interpretation. We shan't even have to discuss terms, will we?

I think I will enjoy myself immensely, even if I will have to forgo the flaying of my enemies. For now.

/live action pb'd valmont. Becuase the only jca caps I could get were nightmarishly bad...

[plz_gtfo_dragon]

Well, there goes the neighborhood.

I know, right? Thank goodness for Crackle, they've got the first three seasons in HD now.

[shendude]

Valmont. Your attempts to exercise wit you do not possess is much like a man trying to walk an empty leash.

and really, what other seasons could anyone possibly need?

[plz_gtfo_dragon]

Well, I suppose you'd be the expert on that, Shendu. By now the sound of children's laughter must be as familiar to you as an old friend.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Wow a dragon wanting vengeance on someone, That isn't something Saft isn't too unfamiliar with.]

...As long as "being yourself" doesn't include harming completely innocent people and purposely being a jerk to people who don't deserve it, I don't see why that would be a bad thing.

Now now. Season five was worth it to see Valmont as a bus driver.

[shendude]

I am more closely acquainted with their screams, as I will be of yours soon enough.

[shendude]

I assure you whole heartily, they deserve it.

[Protip, no they don't.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Pretty sure they don't.

It's guys like you that give the rest of us dragons a bad name. We don't exactly like being hunted you know.

[shendude]

[Oh yeah, hit the nail on the head there. It's very likely he's the reason there are no other living dragons in his world, save his freaky minion critters.]

Perhaps, little sister, the solution to that is to be more fearsome yourself.

Hey for all we know he could have been STEALING that bus! ~Criminal Mastermind!~

[plz_gtfo_dragon]

I'm afraid your new master has quite undersold the limitations that this life imposes upon you. Without the turn of their quill willing it, you'll do nothing at all.

[Says he, on the assumption that the kind of person who would want to write about a demon sorcerer would never want to write about a demon sorcerer tearing somebody limb from limb. Nah, definitely not.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

If we did that we'd be giving the humans who hate us every reason to be right about what they think about us.

...and I am not your little sister.

[Though she certainly has enough brattish traits to be labeled as one if need be.]

I never once thought of it like that. Maybe those women and children were his new enforcers.

[shendude]

You forget, Valmont. Whilst my motion is dictated by their attention, they cannot alter my nature. That sort of thing is...frowned upon. To put it in terms simple enough for even you to understand... I can write my own story.

[shendude]

Right, wrong... What matters is the result. Should humans hunt us, we merely need to hunt them in return. And rather more vigorously then they. Listen to big brother.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

No!

How is there supposed to be any peace in the world if there's going to be constant bloodshed. Innocent members on both sides needlessly dying?! It's dumb! And you're dumb if you think that's any sort of way to live with the humans.

[Wow, someone here feels very strongly about this. Then again someone here isn't entirely dragon herself. Oops spoilers, Shendu.]

That's why he ran when Jackie showed up! Couldn't let THE FUZZ mess up his bus smuggling ring!

[plz_gtfo_dragon]

Ah, but in order for you to write it successfully they'd have to be playing an AU in which you were actually competent. Of course you'll always want to make a pest of yourself, but I think you'll find they can beset you with misfortune, calamity, and your full compliment of usual ineptitudes if you try to act against their desires...

[shendude]

Watch your tongue little sister. We may be of the same race, but I suggest you show more respect lest you wish to spend the rest of your days as a toad.

[And that's not a bluff. Monkey magic for the animal transformations, super useful.]

Now then. Let us discuss this more courteously, as befits us. I have no particular desire to hunt humans. We could all live in peace... If they could learn their proper place.

You know how much they pay for a bus in Cuba!? I dunno probably not a lot. But it's something.

[shendude]

You dare accuse me of incompetence when you have done nothing but fail me repeatedly when performing even the simplest of tasks! You are just a man common to many realms, but when I am free from the shackles that exist only on our world I will be invincible!

[Yeah, sure, that's how it works.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[She gives a little snort and folds her arms. If her uncle was here he would have probably told her the same thing. To be more mindful with who she's speaking to especially when she isn't entirely sure what he's capable of. She hates having to hold her tongue about the subject...But being silent about the matter certainly beats being turned into a toad.

Still she heavily dislikes his tone.]

You sound just like someone I knew...

[shendude]

Someone wise, then, if their memory is stirred by my words.

[Ego, what ego?]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

...Ravus...

...My father was far from wise.

[Ahahahaha, seriously. Screwing up so badly that his wings were torn from his back as punishment and then his head-devoured by his own father for being a major disgrace to not only his family and the rest of kind was not the smartest move he could have made.]

[shendude]

Perhaps he was, but was merely... unappreciated. Family can be so dismissive.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

You don't know anything about him.

[shendude]

And you do not know anything about me, yet you are quick to judge all the same. It does not give a good impression.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, a girl's gotta learn how to fend for herself.

I'd rather be on the defensive if you don't mind.

[Because if Shendu is anything like her father... ahahahaha no way is she going to drop her guard around him.]

[shendude]

A precaution understandable... For a dragon afraid of humans.

[Probably worse, what with the 'kill everyone in Asia because their ancestors might be related to the dudes who beat him' thing.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I never said I feared them.

They're the ones afraid of us. It shouldn't be that way, I mean we're both equal.
