[Souji's sitting in the grass somewhere on the grounds. A fat gray dragon about the size of a schnauzer with very useless little wings is wandering around behind him. He's looking back at her before turning to the camera with a pensive expression.]

If this war turns out to be an actual war, what should we do about our pets?

[He figures they'll just have to be kept out of the way, but it worries him. He's had that dragon for over five years now, and she was a gift from someone important. He's sure everyone else with a pet feels the same way.]

Should we...I don't know, designate someone to look after them?

[ war. the word itself makes tony's existing electromagnetic headache that much worse. but since it's a....weirdly legit concern: ]

a glorified war-petsitter?

I might have a candidate.

one of my iron legion robots is programmed to keeping the children of the place safe in case of an attack.

I guess I could throw in pets, too.

[eatsyourscience]

I didn't know that was a thing. That's comforting to know.

[No one wants kids (or pets) getting hurt.]

Is it feasible to add that, though?

they fly around the mansion twice a day. if you ever see them - they're not taking over, just observing.

I'll have to reprogram them. it'll take.

what?

three hours?

should be fine. btw the dragon is a pet?

That all sounds good, as long as it's not too much out of your way.

Yes. I've had her most of my time here. A friend gave her to me.

the legion's my main science project. one more programming session would be fun.


are you sure she won't eat the other pets? just asking.

I also have a rabbit. She hasn't eaten the rabbit yet, so we're probably fine.

[Of course, that might be because the dragon is fat and the rabbit is fast.]

ok but what does she eat

just curious

raw meet? steaks?

text »

[eatsyourscience]

I only feed her cooked meat. I didn't want her to get a taste for it raw.

[revokes]

probably a good idea

is she going to get any bigger?

text »

[eatsyourscience]

No. I've had her four years, and all she's gotten is fatter.

mini dragon

cute.

how did you get her? didn't see a lot of dragons flying around.

probably good news for my robots.

A friend who isn't here anymore got her from the vendors and gave her to me. She was raised by a dragon so I guess that was the best gift a person could get in her eyes.

I'm not sure what she traded for her, though.

[revokes]

they really can get you anything, huh?

text »

[eatsyourscience]

Just about. Unless it's really specific, I think they can do it.

text »

[revokes]

ever been to their place?

text »

[eatsyourscience]

Yeah. I've gotten people Christmas presents from them.

text »

[revokes]

seen how they do it?

pull stuff from various universes, I mean.

text »

[eatsyourscience]

No. They just seem to have things. I always figured they were just a few steps up from the closets the same way the dining room is.

[revokes]

same system.

only we can't tap into how it works.

sounds like fun.

text »

[eatsyourscience]

Do you mean that seriously or sarcastically?

text »

[revokes]

I think it's a safe 50/50

sounds right

[eatsyourscience]

I'll half take your word on it about it sounding like fun, then.
