Because all our characters are the modern reincarnates of the characters we know and love, you need a modern mundane AU! Post your character with a couple details about who they are now. Use a prompt to set the scene! And tag around.

->Stranding Shower Inclement weather has suddenly forced you to take shelter. There's someone else under this overhang or bus stop - this might take a while, so you might as well get to know them.

->Mafia Menace Armed thugs with catlike mutations are attacking someone to tell them to stay out of the metaplot! This will end well!

->Cliffside Calamity Vegas has turned into a city atop a mountain. Things are somehow intact, but now the front door to something you have to get in or out of overlooks a sheer drop.

->Superhuman Sighting You have an interest in seeing one of the numbered - is that one there?

->Superhuman Surprise You felt hollow for a moment, and now you're numbered! Suddenly you're that much closer to canon and manifesting a mutation, a power, or a strange memory! Probably in public!

->Wild Card Combine prompts or pick something less alliterative! Monsters! Cultists! Boring days at the mall!

[In March Laurel Kendall echoed back a dormant dragonsoul which pushed her to falling out of love. This led to breaking an engagement, and she has been making her way in Vegas in the time since. Now, wracked by claustrophobic Echoes, she's leaning out the doorway of a shitty little apartment building, looking down at quite a drop. She pulls back - and then takes a running leap out into thin air!

Laurel's body barely starts to fall before dissolving into a red mist which spreads and spreads, forming a winged shape - and then there's a red dragon gliding overhead, clearly looking for a place to land.

...man I still can't decide if it's better to start her as tall and she Echoes the height of an "undersized ten-year-old" or start her short. If she's short her dragon form is around elephant size, if she's tall holy shit what.]

[for once Jasmine isn't the only thing in the sky that doesn't belong there, and her little jaunt to Vegas to see what was going on has resulted in something... interesting. Namely, a dragon flying about.]

Holy shit...! Did you come out of the mountain or something?!

[Laurel-the-dragon banks, dismayed by sudden company and not super clear on how this flying business works. She tries to speak but it just comes out as a sort of rrrrr-chough! sound. Guess she hasn't echoed telepathy yet!]

[okay, did that thing just roar at her or did it just wheeze? In any case, it seemed to be trying to communicate]

... Look. I'm not a princess and there are no herds of sheep down there...

[She eyeballs Lily, enough of the whites of her eyes showing to give her a wild look, and resumes spiralling vaguely downwards, looking for a space big enough to land on.]

[Jasmine watches for a while, unsure of what to do or say... then it occurs to her. She sighs, and shakes her head]

Follow me...!

[she dives, moving in to land on a building top that looks big enough for the dragon]

[...whoops. Sorry!

Laurel hesitates more, but she's starting to tire. She spirals down towards that roof, tail heavy behind her. Now how does landing work... maybe...

She hits it hard and skids, claws leaving furrows in the concrete, before stopping, sore. Bending her long long neck she nudges at the inside of her 'elbow'. Ow.]

[okay, wow. That wasn't exactly a graceful landing. Jasmine races forward, a look of worry on her face]

Are you alright?!... She asked the creature who's been unable to answer her so far...

HhhNNNnnnnnnnn.

[She can't talk as a dragon, but apparently she can groan just fine. Now... turning back... She closes large eyes and focuses, focuses... and becomes a red mist in a dragon-shape, which starts to contract.]

... Um... that's a pretty cool trick you're doing with oh my god you're melting you're turning into smoke and melting what the hell?!

[The dragon-shaped cloud of mist contracts and coalesces, and then - there's a redhead here, rubbing one arm and wincing but apparently still peppy.]

Oh my god! Wow. Okay. So: flying, harder than it looks! Landing, Jesus Christ!

Oh thank god

[Jasmine sighs with relief]

I thought you'd died like some sort of video game enemy or something!

What? Oh, yeah, the fog thing. Don't touch that, bad things will happen. Not that I know what they are, but I don't think anyone will like it.

Pretty spooky though, huh? Rawr.

Yeah, sure. It's just like our momma's tell us, never trust smoke that's red by the way why were you a freaking dragon?

[Jasmine is a bit on edge and may want to get to the point]

Oh, that? [she laughs as if that was rather funnier than it was.]

It's a Numbered thing! Obviously. I've only done the dragon thing once before. It's a lot of fun.

... Clearly. Still, do you have any idea how many people probably saw you?

Lots! But c'mon, this place turned into a mountain, and I don't hear sirens. Do you?

... No, I guess you're right. And this is Las Vegas...

Yeah. Besides, they saw a dragon, not me. So it's cool!

... Yeah, unless they track its flight to this rooftop...

[beat]

We should probably get off this rooftop...

That's true!

Well, you're the one who can fly without being all huge. Did you see a way?

Mmn... [she thinks for a moment] I could... carry us somewhere else?
