[ it's percy! back by unpopular demand!
he's just here perched in the lab trying to read any of the notes that have started to disintegrate into itty bitty pieces. he has the second lens of his glasses flipped forward to help him with reading, but it isn't really working all the well.
when he hears someone coming in, he turns. ]
Ah. Atsushi... hello.

Ah. Atsushi... hello.
[Atsushi does not like the lab. He is on edge from the moment he steps in, and he's jumping at every little sound and avoiding the blinking eyeballs. He's looking for something, but he's also trying to deliberately not look at a lot of things in here, so it makes the searching difficult.
He's also not expecting to find anyone here, so he's a bit surprised when he sees Percy reading the notes.]
Ah- hi? What are you doing here?
[He'll try to straighten up and pretend he's not anxious at all.]

[ from here. me tagging captcha for the sake of continuing this joke also bc i like them i'll move this now. ]
For airships? No. I meant an otherworldly Plane of existence. The Feywild, The Elemental Planes, the Nine Hells. Things like that.

I was hoping there might be something here that could help us... some sort of clues as to why we're here, notes that someone may have left behind, a reasoning for there being no color...
[ he is ignoring the eyeballs, but it's very very hard, they just keep staring! ]
Are you looking for something in particular?

[He just. Stares.]
Um. I've only heard of things like that in books.

Mostly the same. Clues as to why we're here or now to get out. I was hoping the other places had answers but I found nothing, so this is the last place I need to check.
[He does not seem to like being there though. Probably because of how creepy it is.]

I'm afraid you won't find much. All I've gotten were some crumbling notes and some strong-scented chemicals. Whoever was here, was here a long time before us...
It's a rather dreary place, isn't it? All these strange creatures in tubes.

One, technically. But that one is dead so it's fine.

Just a little.
[Just a lot.]
Er...why are you still here, if it's dreary?
[Just a lot.]

I'm rather used to dreary, unfortunately. [ he shakes his head a bit ] Perhaps I prefer it sometimes. I just wish there were more here for us.
These creatures for example, abandoned. It's... rather sad. No reason for their creation, and not even the chance to leave?
[ but they're also hella dangerous so. better off in the tubes? he's not sure. ]

That sounds about right.
[We don't talk about dragons, no, no no~]
But how many do you have where you're from? I thought just one was a headache.

If they're dangerous, then it's better for them to stay put.
[Something about that answer makes his stomach turn though, and he reaches up and squeezes his hand against his chest as if that helps settle his stomach any.]

They call themselves the Chroma Conclave... they're...
Well, they're a faction of chromatic dragons: one red, one green, one white, and one black. And they're not the only dragons in the world, either, they're just the ones that have surface to make trouble.

Territorial. There was a time where dragons ruled over everything, terrorized humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes alike... I imagine they want that power back at any cost.
That, and we dispatched one of their number who had tried to infiltrate the council under a human guise... so I'm sure they missed him dearly.

I want to talk for a bit, if you're okay with that.
Can I come over? Or can you come down to the Amber apartment?

[You don't need to Run Percy omg
But Atsushi is ready and answers the door!]
Hello there! Come on in.
[Does Percy like tea? because Atsushi definitely made two cups of tea and set them out in the living room.]

There's just humans, where I'm from. Even the one dragon I saw was just a human transformed by magic.
[ listen. trial has already put him on edge. fretting is like second nature. his shoulders do seem to immediately drop as he briefly touches his own chest with a gloved hand. ]
Thank you... it's rather cozy in here. Completely different from upstairs.
[ he loves tea, thank you :,) he's delighted. ]
