The Blame Game

[im_right_youre_wrong]

Oh! Sure! Blame your "bouts of stupidity" on me!

I'm innocent! Wrongfully accused! For the most part, I was minding my own business and completely capable of doing my own thing. Oh, and then I was dumped FROM a strange world into ANOTHER strange world! City! Whatever you call it, same difference! It's only been months and things haven't changed a bit for me. School storms, ugly statues, people turning into cats. Give a guy a break, will you? Heading back "home" for a bit won't do any good anyway.

And what I say isn't dumb – it's speaking my mind! YOU placing the blame on ME about the sudden drop in your IQ? Are you sure that wasn't just you before you got to me?? Because I've seen some of the stuff that goes through your head and, let me tell you, some of it is pretty lame!

[Just...staring, as if to say "Really? THIS is the new Eric in Nautilus I've heard about?"]

[im_right_youre_wrong]

[Eyebrow arch for eyebrow arch, man.]

What? I'm doing what everyone else here is doing, right?

[voice_seeker]

[Shit, he saw that, time to change the subject!]

Uh....yeah, but you could stand to be at least a little politer about it! I know Muns can be frustrating in what they do to us, but still.

[im_right_youre_wrong]

Polite? That isn't my style. She must have some idea to what she's doing. And besides, she has two other guys to do that!

[voice_seeker]

Still, a line oughta be drawn somewhere, and insulting your Mun's intelligence seems like the place to draw it.

[im_right_youre_wrong]

Well, she started it! I'll stop insulting her when she stops insulting me.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Going from one world to another actually sounds really exciting if you ask me!

[im_right_youre_wrong]

Not when you were just trying to enjoy a roller coaster at an amusement park– AUGH!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Whoa-what?!

Are there slayers here?! Don't worry, they won't harm you.

[And here she comes, standing over Eric keeping an eye out for anyone who might want to come and harm the wimp him.]

[im_right_youre_wrong]

Slayers?! Who said anything about slayers! Hey, what are you–

[aJKlsdjd He cringes, shield overhead as the dragon looms over him...defensively? What.]

...

I am never going to get use to any of this.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Oh right, I'm in dragon mode right now... Oopsie!

[One transformation later and-]

There much better. Heh, I'm sorry I figured you were used to seeing dragons seeing as you're dressed like that.

[im_right_youre_wrong]

"Oopsie"!?

[BWAH oh well. This is better! Kind of.]

–DAH. Why didn't you just do that earlier– it's always the clothing! I don't have any spares right now!

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well, thing is I tend to use my human form alot and I'm never going to get in any real dragon practice if I pretend I'm entirely human all the time.

[She extends a hand and grins.]

Saft!

[im_right_youre_wrong]

[His initial surprise goes back into his usual expression as he nods, reaching out to shake her hand.]

Eric. Normal human being.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Wow and I thought "Goldenscale" was a mouthful...

Okay Eric Normal Human Being! Glad to meet you.

[im_right_youre_wrong]

You've gotta be kidding. No, just Eric! "Normal human being" is stating the obvious in comparison to you being a dragon.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

I am. You just seem to be the kind of guy who's fun to wind up.

[She gives a giggle.]

Sorry, I just...yeah

I'll behave.

[im_right_youre_wrong]

Oh. Ooh, I see now. [Eric laughs. And then he punctuates it with sarcasm.] Hah! You think???

[But once that's out of his system, he sighs.]

Hey, whatever works for you. I'm just trying to get a point driven in for the Mun.

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Well if it's any consolation, My mun was a huge fan of your canon back in the day and she had a certain fondness for you and a couple of the other characters too.

There was one episode that kinda scared her though... that one where you all had to face your own fears? Scary stuff.

[im_right_youre_wrong]

Really? Well, why didn't you mention that sooner? And yeah, I guess my Mun's pretty happy that someone else remembers.

[Speaking of remembering:]

Ugh, don't remind me. It's something I'd like to forget!
