▶ How to Train your Dragon Tamagotchi

Legends recorded amongst vast historical texts tell of the former sovereigns of the land, the dragons who came from the continent of Cydrania, and the sovereigns of the stars, dragons who came from the floating kingdom known as Celestdrania. During the cataclysm, the dragons of Cydrania were forced to flee their home with the aid of the Celestdrania dragons. The remaining dragons shared what knowledge they could of the old world with the Prismal refugees (the first people of what we now know as Lunatia) to preserve their memories, though much of it still remains lost or confined to the minds of the most ancient dragon brood, living among the stars. While Cydrania remains uninhabitable, the descendants of the dragons of the land moved back into the mountain range surrounding Lunatia, known as Drasomnis.

After the three moons have waned, two large dragons arrive at Lunatia from Drasomnis carrying an abundant cradle of eggs upon their back. They speak in their draconic language with the Prismals, telling them that they have sensed the mass amount of chroma being produced by the Moonblessed and have come to request a favor. Their powers have grown weaker and felt unsteady for some moon cycles, and unlike the old world when chroma was more abundant, they need the aid of the Moonblessed to rekindle their energies. They want to entrust their youngest brood to the Moonblessed for a few evenings to see if their energy will help their eggs hatch as they fear losing the young within.

1. The eggs emit a mysterious, pleasant scent from within that will trigger someone’s nurturing instincts and compel the Moonblessed to take care of them, enchanting the Moonblessed to become their (sometimes) reluctant chosen guardians. Each individual egg may end up with either one or multiple guardians. For three days, the chosen Moonblessed will think of the eggs as their children, protecting them and feeding them their own chroma through direct contact with the egg to keep them warm and alive. The guardians may even become extremely territorial over the eggs and react harshly to any and all who threaten their precious charge.
   
   
2. Unfortunately, the eggs require heavy amounts of sustenance, and they will start draining massive amounts of chroma from anyone near them. Those affected will show signs of extreme fatigue, pale skin, bluer veins, loss of appetite, and at worst, crystallization of the limbs and skin, at times rendering them near immobile. Their canon and in-game powers will gradually become ineffective as well. The only way to mitigate these effects is through frequent and prolonged physical contact — that is, moonlacing — or asking more people to stay near the eggs to lessen the effects on a single person. In terms of effectiveness, hand-holding aids to a small extent, embraces even more, but full on sexual intimacy will be able to provide a significant increase in energy completely for all three days.
   
   
3. By the end of the third day, underneath the moon’s light, the eggs start to hatch. The baby dragons within will take on a moonblessing of one of their guardians as well as a combination of their prominent physical features and temperament. This means if one of their guardians is quick to anger and commit violence, so will the dragon; if a guardian can cast ice magic because of the influence of Cordis moon, the dragon can, too; if a guardian has blue eyes, so will the dragon; and so on. It’s up to you to incorporate these features however you desire.

▶ Burninating the Countryside

With all the chroma being siphoned by the infant dragons en masse, their growth slips out of control, causing them to increase in size at an alarming rate. The larger they are, the more chroma they take from the city. Lunar Scientia soon announces that the dragons cannot remain in Lunatia because the city environment is unsuitable for them. They are not only making the population ill, but they are uncontrollable. The wild antics of these adorable dragons include biting people, hunting livestock, chewing through gardens, setting objects ablaze, roaring loudly at odd hours, and tenderly fondling motor vehicles thinking they are other dragons. Thankfully, the Prismals learned a thing or two from the Vinea vehementi attack two months ago and prepared for this outcome.

Shortly after the announcement, Moon Knights round up the Moonblessed (guardians or not) and request that the dragons be transported back to their natural habitat. This is a dangerous undertaking as they will have to leave the city for the first time and venture to the Outer Plains. Don’t worry! You will be accompanied by both Moon Knights and scientists from the Lunar Scientia. (The dragon scientist on the team will insist that they are a draconologist, but everyone tends forget that.) They will provide aid as well as the appropriate gear.

1. The conditions right now are too harsh for these baby creatures to fly in, and there is only one airplane big enough to accommodate a bunch of dragons. If you’re acrophobic, prepare to be in for a long and uncomfortable ride as you squeeze in between a bunch of dragons and try to keep them (and yourself) calm for the entire trip. Many will continue to bite, scratch, and shed scales or fur everywhere. Or you could be the lucky Moonblessed with the dragon who just sleeps peacefully all the time. The Prismal crew hands out flight meals with apologetic expressions. They got careless as some dragons have eaten through the food supplies. As a result, there isn’t enough for everyone so be prepared to share!
   
   
2. The airplane is too large and has nowhere to land atop the mountains, it makes its landing on a nearby plateau. It’s up to the Moonblessed to coerce their dragons to fly them to the top which may take some edibles and niceties. Local fauna can be hunted down and flora such as fruits, mushrooms, and nuts can be foraged. If you’re not certain which is safe to eat or not, anyone is free to approach the Prismals for questions. The dragons will have similar food preferences to their guardians so it’s easy to find out what’s best what to feed them. But sometimes, food won’t be enough. Remember: dragons are hoarders, and like parent, like child! If a guardian loves being covered in kittens or collecting trading cards, who’s to say their dragon doesn’t?
   
   
3. Beware of the wild. The Prismal in-flight crew will tell you about the fauna of the Outer Plains. The chrysadillos are huge crystal-covered armadillos that can turn into a ball to try and flatten any threats to its environment on instinct. Silver, saber-toothed felines known as the lightning cats are lone hunters that move at record-breaking speeds. Black hawks called umbris hawks will swoop down at random to try and knock people off the dragons. Also, there are flying sharks called terra sharks that don’t need water. Ask about the logic behind the name and the Prismals will simply shrug. These carnivorous creatures will devour any type of meat in their path. Except the chrysadillos — they just really like ants.

▶ Obligatory Hot Spring Episode

Once at Drasomnis’ highest mountain, the snow-covered peak holds the beautiful Kingdom of Lyestellus, a thriving castletown controlled by powerful draconic beings who can turn humanoid at will. Their ruler is King Shiryn Lyei Drastellus XIII. After the envoy party from Lunatia presents an official gift from Queen Elara, Drastellus XIII addresses their special guests with a kind expression. Once the baby dragons are returned, the king will bequeath onto each of the Moonblessed a single Drastelle blossom which will grant the Moonblessed a draconic blessing. He will also arrange proper lodgings and hospitality among their vast holdings. Their rooms will be bubble-shaped dwellings surrounding a breathtaking mountain spring.

1. Take a dip with someone in the moonlit pools.These are a series of natural hot springs that are known to have magical properties during the evenings. When the moon casts its glow over the waters, those inside will be mysteriously compelled to reveal some truths about themselves. It may be something innocent as a crush or it may be something more sinister like a dead body stowed away in someone's basement. It can even be of the more salacious kind, such as some form of intimacy that's always been lingering at the back of your mind that you would like to try.
   
   
2. Several maidens will prepare tea with the Drastelle blossoms gifted to them by the king. For those who consume the Drastelle blossom tea, they will notice something strange occuring during their next moon cycle. Regardless of their original moonblessing, they will obtain temporary, one-time only draconic traits.
   • The moons will appear emerald green to the eyes of those affected instead of their original color.
     
     
   • Appearance shifts will include either full dragon transformation (nothing larger than a double decker bus or smaller than a chameleon) or humanoid with draconic horns, scales, tails, or wings. Humanoids may experience an increase in physical height (12ft or less).
     
     
   • The blessing will grant them with wind magic. They are now capable of casting small gusts of air that can be soft like a breeze or sharp enough to cause mild slice.
     
     
   • Their personality traits reflect that of the majestic, dignified and disciplined dragon. They are now calm, stern, and charismatic at best, while lazy, passive and overbearing at worst.
     
     
   • Their charming voices have the magical power of suggestion. By speaking or singing, their voice can influence or coerce others into doing their bidding. They can even command plants to grow better or faster! Useful for haggling for lower prices or getting someone to hang out with you. You might even be able to deliberately arouse or bring others to orgasm. The more willing the listener is, the better its effects. (Remember to ask permission from other players before doing this!)

These effects will become active only through the Moonblessed’s designated lunar cycle (i.e. if your character is a Sanguis moonblessed, it will only be available on Sanguis’ lunar cycle.) Reminder this is only a temporary, one time blessing, which means it will only occur ICly once. You may have it active either during a specific moon’s cycle OR during the three-moon cycle.

Character: Dazai Osamu | theartofdying
Moonblessing: Sanguis
Smut Preferences: YOLO. Dazai's pretty much a hedonist and has no shame about this kind of thing, smut is perfectly fine, he doesn't even need to know your name, this is a matter of practical survival but that doesn't mean it can't be fun, too! Dazai's kinklist is a WIP but it's here; if you don't see something please feel free to hit me up, I'm an open book!
Log Plans: Oh goodness a little bit of everything, I think!! Dazai should never be trusted with children of any species so someone co-parent this poor dragon, please. That being said, he's a pretty smart guy who's already picked up on a lot of the ties of abilities and magic stuff to Chroma production, so he'll definitely be looking for moonlacing partners or to help out anyone he sees who's looking a little worse for wear. Also territorial fighting would be awesome, gotta protect the babby. I'm not sure yet what Dazai's dragon is gonna be aside from a giant lazy-ass troll who likes screwing with people and being in the way, but I'm honestly up for whatever.

Also I'm 1000% doing hot springs stuff, so if anyone wants to hear the secrets of an ex-mafia executive or even just make out in a hot springs with a cute stranger who wears too many bandages, drop me a line!

[onerous]

a giant lazy-ass troll who likes screwing with people and being in the way,

soo snorlax

[theartofdying]

BASICALLY except she's all lithe and noodly like her papa :D :D with pretty kind of tattered-looking wings, I think

[discerp]

just drape herself over people to sleep on. "this is mine now!!"

anyway I def want more w/mikan & dazai. get your moonlacing on, dazai.... also her dragon hoarding dazai bc BANDAGES. can't get the bandages but it'll get the next best thing and take HIM.

And I want Yuri and him to finally meet since she'll def. be curious about him. i'd say moonlace w/her too but she'd be very reluctant to... though if she finds out he can negate her abilities she'll be super dazed and in awe. She's literally incapable of crying despite constantly looking like she's about to but she'd just be strangely emotional about it. She can't control her ability like Miu can so....

(where's fukuzawa when u need him)

(also busts out all my creepy mikan icons ill never get to use otherwise)

[theartofdying]

Yes lmf I'm super here for her dragon just picking him up and adding him to the hoard. It wouldn't be the weirdest place he's ended up honestly. And of course more moonlacing!! He likes Mikan <3 you know I'm also here for all your sad psychic girls anytime anyhow!!

Listen you know I'm gonna give you the chance to use all the creepy icons eventually. We've Talked.

[hopefanatic]

Hot springs stuff and sharing some good horrible stuff they've both done? Or anything, honestly.

[theartofdying]

YES PLEASE! I would absolutely love more stuff with Komaeda and you in general :D hot springs sharing could be a lot of fun! I'm still deciding what level of exposure I want for Dazai in this situation, but they could def be fun!

[hopefanatic]

asdfgh you're too sweet omg.

Like I said I'm open to other stuff if you don't want to do too much hot springs stuff or whatever! Either way Komaeda wouldn't judge because... gestures to his life

[theartofdying]

Nah dude, never such a thing as too much stuff. I'm cool with springs stuff or dragon stuff, whatever you're looking for! I'll take a peek at your plotting comment too :D

[dereban]

. . . god, I want the dragon to mess with Inaba a lot since it would probably be hilarious and she would honestly just be mad :\!!!

DRAGON, WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS. And she'd just grumpily yell at Dazai about it... what a good way to meet.

[theartofdying]

YESSSSS please, haha, I love CR that starts that way and Dazai is so good for it. He's also going to name his dragon daughter Omelette so she can judge him hardcore for that, too :D

[dereban]

She is definitely going to judge him for it.

"Did you want to eat your dragon or turn it into your egg making machine..."

Why are all the people she meets that are also from Yokohama so weird.

[theartofdying]

He's gonna make so many terrible egg puns and jokes about eating his egg and then stabbing anyone who looks at it funny that

ALSO HEY he's perfectly norm--no I can't even type that with a straight face. He's a fucking weirdo, I'm sorry.

[tdls]

officially comments with interest in having these two meet up. maybe hotsprings??

[theartofdying]

Yessss. Please do, you know I miss your Timmytim and I honestly do think that past all of Dazai's inherent trolling he and Tim might get along the same way he gets along with Ranpo in canon--smart boys making friends with smart boys!!

[tdls]

yesssssss excellent :3 smart boys need to befriend each other! and as you know, if tim can handle jason and damian he can handle a little trolling.

[theartofdying]

At least this one won't stab him probably!!

[desadist]

tell me all ur dark secrets

[theartofdying]

P L E A S E Dazai's gotta collect all the DRs and I super want Junko threads :D His dark secrets are actually pretty boring, tho, who wants to talk about feelings, not him ever

[desadist]

yeeees!! she will wanna listen, not talk. she just wants info kk

[thedarkbond]

Ren may have heard from Atsushi about Dazai sleeping on his couch, so I'm interested in throwing him in Dazai's direction...he does need minor moonlacing partners for the hatching phase, so that could be a thing.

[theartofdying]

Yoooo I just read Ren's character info and yes please. These two could definitely be interesting. I love playing manipulative assholes against other manipulative assholes. (Also I'm laughing, how many redheads with chokers can one man possibly collect...I'm sorry)

[thedarkbond]

Ren is always down for poking fun at other manipulative assholes, honestly (also yes i'm pretty sure the "redheads with chokers" thing came up the one time i've played against a chuuya before at another game...and then ren spent the entire conversation implying chuuya's meant he was someone's pet so y'know)

[wearingguess]

touches butt

[theartofdying]

Plot twist: the butt touches back

Nah but for real, let's do a thing. Tell me your desires.
