THE SQUAD DOES AN INTRO: GROUP MEET UP
OOC POST
The Green's binding spell finally works out its kinks and the entire group is teleported into the same area in the center of the city, near the statues of the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, and Scarecrow.

Everyone in the group feels a tingling sensation as the magic sets in place and binds them. Anyone that tries to leave will now find themselves being teleported back if they wander too far. The group will have to try to stay together when it moves now.

They have a little bit of time to figure things out.

OOC note: Tim never called him Bart.

[the_hit_list]

[ As an aside to Kon, Tim murmurs. ]

That would still fit. Kryptonians aren't common. [ The lack of welcome from the dragon is fine with Tim. Despite his love of fantasy, petting a dragon he's just met has all the markings of a Bad Idea.

Bart can get away with it because he's Bart, presumably. ]

Why does it matter if Toothless doesn't like him? Dixon wasn't pleasant, but he seemed normal to me.

[Between Hiccup and Bart's calming rubs and scratches, and Kon's continued inaction, Toothless calms down. He's still shooting Kon wary looks, and will start growling if Kon tries to come nearer to him, but he doesn't look like he's going to pounce at one wrong move.]

Considering it looks like we're going to be stuck together for a while, it'd probably be a good idea to figure out what's causing it, just in case it sets off anything else. Toothless won't attack Kon unless he attacks first, he knows better than that, but I can't say the same for whatever's out there.

[konman]

[Nope. There's nothing wrong. Kon needs for there to be nothing wrong.]

You heard him. [He nods towards Tim.] There's nothing wrong with me. I'm just your perfectly average, ordinary half-alien clone.

[Kon glares at the dragon and crosses his arms.]

So this sounds like a you problem.

[Space racist.]

[wherenoonegoes]

[Toothless gives a short bark of a growl, and then stalks off. Hiccup turns to follow, but glances back for a moment.]

I really hope you're right about that. Because if you're not, I can tell you from experience it's not going be anything good.

[Having said his piece, Hiccup moves to catch up to Toothless.]

[outofresets]

[ When Toothless makes that half bark Bart immediately draws his hand's back again, jolting away a little. As the dragon stalks off, he makes no move to follow, instead standing back up and stepping over toward his friends to watch Hiccup walk off with him.

When they're out of earshot, he looks to Tim and Kon with a mix of confusion and concern. ]

What was that about?

[the_hit_list]

[ Watching the Viking and the dragon walk away, Tim is struggling to ignore several thoughts that threaten to snap together like Legos. Didn’t Kon say that something felt wrong inside him with the Orcs? Tim had assumed it was the result of power suppression, but now the dragon whisperer… ]

I don’t know. He acts like one of those dog owners who thinks everyone should get along with Muffy. If Kon didn’t step on the dragon’s tail, who knows why it doesn’t like him?

[ He'll talk to Kon about it later, when Bart's not around to get worked up about the future. ]

I wouldn’t worry about it. Dragons are represented as selfish tricksters in a lot of folklore and fiction.
