His day is just dragon on...

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

That sure would be what looks like a huge dragon... trying to get it's horns out of the welcome sign... while trying not to do any more damage to the surrounding area. There are brochures flying everywhere too. Looks like someone's entrance to the Nexus was rather unexpected... and having a thirty-ish foot long dragon in the main area of the forum doesn't seem to be a very good idea either...

".... Help?"


((ooc: Or if you don't want to deal with him till he's done getting himself unstuck...))

"Ah... Do these come in a larger size?" Skyfire holds up a brochure between two claws... and it looks a bit worse for wear. "I'm having some trouble holding it well enough to read it..."

He shakes his head. "Not that I know of. We've never ended up in the wrong place."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"That's good to know... Hmmm...I wonder how much trouble I can end up in from just trying doors at random..."

Not that he'd cause trouble on purpose, but he was curious about where he could end up now. 'Home' was okay, and he'd very much like to find his friends in the other world he'd been on... but if neither of those were available to him, getting back to exploring seemed a good alternative.

[william_kent]

Wil frowns a little. "Probably a lot of trouble, really. The other side can be really different."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

That gives Skyfire a momentary pause. "I suppose that I should wait on that until I have a way to get myself out of any trouble I might get in to..."

[william_kent]

"Might be a good idea," Wil agrees. "Or you might end up stuck again."

Sorry about the late, my internet was out.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Now that was a somewhat frightening idea. "Yes, that is very true... I would rather never go through that again."

Seems like someone is quite familiar with being stuck in places, and isn't in a hurry to repeat the experience again.

No worries, it happens

[william_kent]

Now that the dragon is unstuck, it seems only proper and polite to introduce himself, although he's pretty sure they'll have to forego the handshake. "I'm William Kent."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"My name is Skyfire. It's nice to meet you."

It's not really a 'hand shake', but Skyfire tries offering him a single digit of his hand-like paw in the best imitation he can manage... with his claws retracted of course.

[william_kent]

That'll work, sort of. Wil makes his best effort, although he's paying a little more attention to the fact that Skyfire even knows about handshakes, given that they're often unique to human cultures. "You too. I haven't seen any dragons around here in a while."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Skyfire's life had been... unique so far, to say the least. He'd picked up lots of bits and pieces of knowledge here and there.

At the mention of other dragons, his ears perk and he looks quite interested. "There have been dragons here? Do you mind if I ask how long ago?" Technically he wasn't really a dragon, well, not at the moment at least. Still, he looked like a dragon and it was much easier to call himself a dragon than to try and explain his situation every time he met someone.

[william_kent]

"I saw one a couple of months ago, but that doesn't mean there aren't any here. The Nexus is pretty much infinite, I think."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"Hmmm... I'll have to make sure to keep an opt... eye out for them. I don't want to accidentally end up starting any fights over 'territory'..." Granted, he'd not met a territorial dragon yet, but he was aware they could be out there.

[william_kent]

Wil's pretty quick on the draw. "Were you going to say optic?"

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"Ah... yes." Whoops... busted? Granted, he's not wholly sure what he is anymore... but then again, even after so very long... some verbal habits were hard to break.

[william_kent]

He's slight wary now, although the dragon's been nothing but nice so far. "Autobot?" he guesses, more than ready to get the hell out of Dodge if the answer is no.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Skyfire blinks and looks slightly confused. He knows that sounds familiar... was it one of the other visitors on Equestria that had mentioned it when he'd been transported there and made a 'real' dragon for a time?

"Ah... is that a species or faction of some sort? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that term..." He does however, notice the slight change in his body language that hints at his wariness and does his best to ease whatever his worry is.

"I do not have any kind of ill intent towards anyone, if that is what concerns you..."

[william_kent]

Well if he's never heard of the Autobots, he's probably also never heard of Decepticons. And that's... good enough for now, Wil supposes. "They're a faction, yeah. Cybertronian."

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

Now that makes his eyes widen.

"Wait... when did that happen?" Clearly, he knows what a Cybertronian is and had no idea that such a split existed. "Or is this a case of there being different worlds?"

[william_kent]

"It could be. I'm not really familiar with their history. I've met one or two of them here over the years." Including a former Decepticon, but Wil isn't going to mention that.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"I suppose that is something I'm going to have to look into..." He's clearly quite flummoxed. While he might not really consider himself Cybertronian anymore, it was still a bit of a shock to learn that for some reason your former species had seemingly split like that.

[william_kent]

He hasn't said as much to Wil, but he's always been good at reading between the lines. And the dragon looks very organic... "So what happened with you? Fae curse?"

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"The short version is experimental tech, a crash landing, incorrect formatting scans, biological samples, stranding and a lot of improbable math that should have made this form quite impossible..." He gives a half shrug "Yet here I am..."

[william_kent]

"Impossible happens a lot, in my experience." Sounds plausible enough to him.

[caelum_ignis_draconigena]

"That, I have learned quite well." He chuckles. "Too bad it seems to happen when you least want it to..."

[william_kent]

Wil just nods. "It's not any different here, really."
