'Hey, Emily, it's safe to take your imaginary fingers out of your mental ears.'

"Doors are a thing you can make, and they're all one size, but the normal size is too short for me so I figured out how to make some that were taller," he says. "I don't even begin to know how I'd make a dragon-sized door, though."

"Maybe I could do something with metals."

[not_only]

"No, I know how I'll do it, it's just not going to be a door exactly," he says.

[endragoned]

"What will it be instead?"

[not_only]

"A part of the wall you can vanish and un-vanish using switches."

[whatamithinking]

"Terraria," Edie says dryly.

[iamnotpolaris]

"...Man, I wonder what would have happened if the dragon--if any dragon--came here randomly on their own."

[endragoned]

"Dragons don't need to sleep nearly as often as you little creatures," says the dragon. "I would have time to think of clever solutions." The demon grins and hugs his dragon around the neck.

[whatamithinking]

Edie is going to participate in hugs, because why not.

"Do you have the things you wanted with you, or are we flying through the fog again?" Emily asks Sivath.

"Let me think... does anyone want me to draw out the house before I build it, so you can see what it'll be like? Does anyone have requests?"

[whatamithinking]

"I'd appreciate the former, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head for the latter."

[iamnotpolaris]

"...Same, but technically what I meant was the magic things."

[not_only]

"Yes, I'm going to go get magic things, but I want to plan the house first so I'll know if I also need to get building materials," he says. "Sorry, I got distracted and didn't explain."

[iamnotpolaris]

"Oh, that's okay. Nah, I can't think of anything off the top of my head but I might if I saw a design."

[not_only]

"Okay. I guess I'll draw one then."

He goes in the existing house and sits down to draw.

Emily is not actually interested enough in architecture to watch over his shoulder. She will reapply herself to the task of trying to make jewelry out of the pretty ice balls. When they inevitably prove themselves to be pretty comprehensively resistant to puncturing she will likely give up and embed them in something and/or wrap them in wire.

The demon is fascinated by the local trees. And when he notices a slime hopping by, he's even more fascinated by that. Such bizarre creatures! He loves it.

[whatamithinking]

"They're not real animals. They don't have minds at all and they explode when they die. The explosion leaves behind stuff, the balls my sister's working with came from a frosted version of the slime thing."

[endragoned]

"They are... alive, in a manner of speaking," he says, watching a hopping blue slime. "But not in the way I'm familiar with. I can't tell much more about those without catching one - the trees, now, those I will enjoy investigating."

[whatamithinking]

"Huh. Bet it's not that hard to catch one." She's going to grab some spare fabric--a shirt or something--and try to grab one of the slimes without exploding it.

[endragoned]

The slime wiggles very aggressively and attempts to hop out of the shirt, but is unable to find an escape route.

The demon and dragon giggle at it.

[whatamithinking]

She grins and proffers the demon the makeshift slime-bag.

[endragoned]

Scoop. Gosh that's wiggly.

"Fascinating..." he says, examining the slime with his magic.

[whatamithinking]

'Ooh? Like how?'
