Jinn, Shian, show up at my house whenever. Van Der Aart, if you're around, you can come too. Ancient Fairy, if you can fuckin' sober up and drag your ass down here and you even know who the hell your Signer is right now, do so.

[Event]

[Isabel is at her house. She's throwing daggers at a tree. She looks like she's in a bad mood.

At least her aim is good.]

[Isabel enters her house and heads to her living room to look for Jinn and Shian.]

Hey. How're you doing, Shian?

*is lying kinda prone on the couch, but is. otherwise conscious.*

Fine, other than the pain. But that'll go away eventually.

I guess this is better than the grass, though.

Well, y'know. Pain is just an illusion.

....so d'you guys wanna talk about what happened to you first or about what's goin' on out there first.

Let's start with who jumped Shian.

Yeah. I'm feeling particularly chatty, right now. *at least tries to right themselves up instead of lying there, wincing.*

Have you ever heard of a "Black-Winged Dragon"?

....d'you mean literally that exact name or a dragon with black wings, 'cause yes to the latter, no to the former.

The former is what I'm talking about.

It's also apparently is going through an edgy phase, cause it got called "Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon" too.

Iiiiiiiiiiii see.

So you got attacked by a dragon? Why?

Because apparently there's another Signer.

"The first Signer of this era."

Whaaat.

[...]

[Isabel's face scrunches up in confusion. She actually leans back a bit.]

Excuse me, what?

It's as I said. Those were his exact words about it.

I even summoned Red immediately after he told me to verify who the Black-Winged Dragon was, with him. He called him "brother". He had a mark, too.

... The Darkrage part was new for him too, though. *flops over a bit*

That doesn't.

All the marks are accounted for. All five of us are accounted for. How can there be another Signer?!

I dunno. I was under the assumption there were only supposed to be five.

And that something like a sixth dragon might've at least come up in casual conversation.

Urgh.

But if there's another Signer, why did they attack you?!

I dunno. I even told him he should just come along and meet you guys if he had something to say to you.

But he was under the impression he'd just be ignored anyway if he didn't show his strength. Which, ugh... *taking a deep breath*

... He said... we don't need to bother with interrupting our lives over this. That he'd take care of both of the escaped prisoners himself. And that... if you want, he'll take you guys down, too.

"Hello, I have a bunch of competition issues, watch me show how macho I am, abluh bluh bluh."

[This is accompanied by him doing a voice that could not be less accurate.]

*please don't make me want to laugh I'm in a lot of pain right now.

that's the expression they're giving.*

...

[Isabel massages her temples.]

And you're sure Red recognized this dude's dragon.

Very clearly recognized him. "Sixth Dragon General of the Five God Dragon". His own words.

... He was also surprised to see him taking his duties seriously. He sounded kinda lazy. Pretty stark contrast to whoever he's partnered up with.

[Long huff.]

--okay.

I would've thought this might be a fake by the two escaped prisoners to try and. Distract us, but if Red recognized it, it's. Probably real.

So we got that to deal with too, now. Hooray.

Yeah, I guess so.

Signers with anger and trust issues. Who'd've thought.

*... okay that was definitely sarcasm. flat sarcasm, but.*

Do we really have to?

We let this guy butt his head against the escaped prisoners. If he wins, good, if he loses, whatever.

Worst case scenario is he loses and we have to step in anyway.

Although I guess if he wins we have to deal with whatever he wants to do next..

I'm not letting two escaped prisoners from the Nazca Lines run around for any longer than I absolutely have to. I don't care if somebody else wants dibs, it doesn't work that way.

...which I guess brings me to what Diana told me about them.

They're not Earthbound Gods.

They're Numbers.

What.
