[THAT SHOULD BE PERCY INSTEAD OF ITSUKI

Itsuki looks surprised, then he laughs]

So you're the workaholic type, huh. So what's she like then? Your work.

[why did he assign percy as het]

[decisions]

It is mostly engineering... machines. Rifles.

[ DON'T ASSIGN HIS WORK A GENDER ITSUKI! WHAT IS THIS NIGHT. ]

[nightchild]

[SORRY HE'S FROM 1919 AND HE'S STRAIGHT (?)

Itsuki's surprised again, but it's less 'hahah percy is so funny' and 'what']

...Rifles like -- guns, right? You make weapons?

[decisions]

[ i'm somehow not convinced about the het part. ]

That's right. Guns, projectiles, arrows of all kinds.

[nightchild]

[don't worry no one is]

...Huh. [percy doesn't look like type, but] Is there a lot of fighting back in your world? Like war?

[he says 'war' like it's kind of a mythical concept,]

[decisions]

[ he gives pause for a moment, glancing over towards where his rifle is leaning up against one of the windows. it seems like he truly has to think about it for a moment before nodding. ]

Somewhat.

Dragons, and many other things.

[nightchild]

[itsuki looks in the same direction but he's never seen a rifle before so for a moment he thinks it's like a staff or something,

but also wait,]

-- Dragons? Like Yamata-no-Orochi or something?

[decisions]

Never heard of one by that name... [ a tilt of the head ] What's that?

[nightchild]

An eight-headed sea serpent with eight tails. [how the hell would that look..] Eyes as red as cherries, with trees growing on its back, and big enough to crawl over eight hills and eight valleys.

...It's from a pretty famous story. Every seven years, it would demand a sacrifice. But one day, the god Susanoo came down to earth and decided to help the people it was terrorizing.

[decisions]

[ oh well that. definitely is quite the story, and percy listens with a fairly calm exterior before giving a slow nod. ]

Well, nothing with eight heads... thankfully. Not sure what I'd do if I met a dragon with more than one head to begin with.

How did Susanoo do it? How did he help?

[ go on..... ]

[nightchild]

He asked the villagers for help. So they ended up making a fence with eight gates and eight platforms, with a jar of alcohol on each one.

When Yamata-no-Orochi arrived, each of its heads were distracted by the alcohol. It basically drunk itself to sleep. Then Susanoo stabbed it to death.

[his eyes are laughing a little]

You can really tell that it's a story just by that.

[decisions]

[ oh that.... that's good actually. percy hides his smile behind his hand firstly, chuckling into it before giving a shake of his head. ]

Nothing speaks to myth than a dragon distracted by drink. It's a rather good story, though.

I wish the dragons we encountered were fooled as such.

[nightchild]

[he perks up at that?? hello]

You can't say that and not go into detail, you know.

[dragons!! dragons!!]

[decisions]

They're about as destructive, though thankfully they don't have multiple heads. If they did, I'm pretty sure we'd be well-fucked.

[ he leans back and will take a dainty sip of beer. ]

There are chromatic dragons and then, there are metallic dragons, the former of which tend to err more on the side of destructive, territorial chaos... while the latter tend to be a bit more lawful in among the denizens of the world. They can disguise themselves as people and walk among us. It's rather fascinating...

[nightchild]

[this does sound fascinating hello]

...As people? [hold on he's connecting the dots] Why do they walk among humans? Are they interested in them? Has a dragon and a human ever fallen in love with each other?

[this is where itsuki's brain goes]

[decisions]

They all have their own agendas? Usually because they're up to something, or watching over something, I imagine.

[ and then: ]

I... don't know? Actually...
