Aha! Hello? Hellooo?
*above the waist, is a cheery redhead dressed in a fetching goth / steampunk sort of outfit, complete with frilly black parasol*
*below the waist, is a GINORMOUS FECKOFF BLACK WIDOW SPIDER*
*waves to attract attention, with free arm and both forward pincers*
...Um...excuse me? Hello! ...Yoo-hoo?

I suppose the best thing for it is to try and get her solemn vow not to harm any of us, then? Or eat us, or maim us, or painfully destroy us? Oh, but what about the good people of Mount Axis when we get there? We don't want to go unleashing her on all those poor innocent folk.
Then again, I suppose if they are innocent, then they needn't worry. Oh, you see what I mean? The technicalities alone could keep us negotiating for days!
But I suppose it's our only choice.

We're going to have to set some ground rules.
*remembers manners*
I'm Molly. What may we call you?
no subject
Date: 2016-10-18 03:20 am (UTC)Ground rules? Oh! Like, only people who are this tall may go on the dragon ride? I can make myself taller if you like. Or smaller. Either way.

Date: 2016-10-18 04:27 am (UTC)Like mebbe don' go sexing people to death? Tha' would be a good rule ta start with.

Date: 2016-10-18 12:30 pm (UTC)We have no reason to be enemies with you. And having someone as powerful as you seem to be could turn out to be helpful, even if you don't stay long. We have dangerous beings on our side—what harm could there be adding another?
That being said...there's a large group of us and some of us aren't as good as the others. I can't possibly be sure what you consider bad, so I'm going to cover all of us. And this applies to everyone of our group, including those who may or may not join later. And those who leave.
*gestures awkwardly, takes a deep breath*
You may come with us on the condition that you will not touch anyone without the most informed, detailed, and explicit consent. From all parties involved. You will also not attempt to get consent by coercion, trickery, bribery, or any other means which might be considered less than on the level. If anyone gets intoxicated or sick, you may not engage them.
*nods confidently*
If we come across any enemies, you may touch them, but please wait until more than one of us declares them so. There are several excitable people here—myself included—and we may not always think before we speak.
*looks at flower spike, then back to you, then back to the flower spike, then back to you*
And if you cause any problems for us, or fail to follow these rules, I will not hesitate to cause problems for you. I may just be a mortal woman, but I've learned a few things here in Epilogue. Things that really hurt people I don't care for.
*snaps out of that*
You may start by asking if the dragons will allow you to ride.
*gestures to Temeraire and Sherlock*

I, Madam Zarenyia, Mistress of the Seventh Circle, Guardian of the Abyss, Chief Executrix of the Grand Inferno Chess Club, blah blah blah, do solemnly swear that I will not touch anyone of this group without the most informed, detailed, and explicit consent. I will not engage anyone who is sick or intoxicated. I will not touch any enemies until at least two of this party have labeled them as such.
(With the natural proviso that I get to defend myself against any physical, mental, spiritual or psychic attacks, of course.)
This contract shall be legally binding so long as my association with the aforementioned parties endures. I do here solemnly swear.
Dib-dib-dib-dib-dib-dib-dib!
*lowers hand*
There! Now can I go on the dragons? Oh please, Mister Temeraire and the lovely red one whose name I don't know? Pretty-please with sin and avarice on top?

Date: 2016-10-19 01:02 am (UTC)Madam, you would probably be safer riding with me. Sherlock... is not the most skilled flier and I have some seven years experience.

*giggles like a schoolgirl, turning backwards somersaults on Sherlock's back*
Don't worry, Temeraire poppet. I can always hop on over mid-flight to say hello. That is, if I have your informed, detailed, and explicit consent, of course. Which I really hope I do, because how many creatures can say they've ridden a Celestial?? I'd be the luckiest devil in the seven circles!
no subject
Date: 2016-10-19 02:04 am (UTC)Well. I suppose we'd best get a move on.
*briefly looks around*
We probably need a head count. Don't want anyone getting lost...

Looks like I'm in too, poppet.

Oh, and Molly, darling? Would you do me a favour before we take off?
