[ so. we bet you thought you were going to get through this entire dragon plot without having to deal with this goober, didn't you? less than two days to go, and no shenanigans? you were probably counting down the hours, the minutes until things were back to normal and you could breathe a sigh of relief of having not had to look at this ridiculous freelancer and his ridiculous tendencies.
psych!!!
gotcha.
york has been a busy little bee. well, for lack of a better phrase; he'd been one of the first, he's sure, to find one of the dragon eggs and ultimately put his hands on it. ( because let's be real, here. when there are things that pique his curiosity, he is not the type to look with only his eyes. he has to look with his hands. and you know what? this time it's landed him with a baby dragon following him everywhere and chewing up datapads and pretty much making a mess out of everything.
because he's voluntarily been bringing the little thing back to the ship with him. yeah. wrap your head around that, why don'tcha? )
where were we? oh yeah. he's had this thing following him around pretty much since day one, and while they don't exactly have dragons back in his reality, they do have lizards, and this one just happens to remind him of a bearded dragon he'd had when he was a teenager. ( whose name was romero, because this one might have been too much of a fan of movies like night of the living dead and everything that spawned after it. don't you dare judge him. ) so naturally, he'd taken an immediate liking to the thing.
even if it had immediately started spewing sparks and scorching up his armor something fierce. let him tell you, he's been buffing the shit out of that armor for the past few weeks, and it honestly looks better than when it was first issued to him. ) they're getting along like a house on fire, best friends from the get-go, because for all the spitfire and scorch marks the thing has left for him? york's been teasing it right back, employing the use of a laser pointer to have it running into walls and under the bed in his quarters and … well. so he's generally being a nuisance. are you surprised?
you shouldn't be.
so, what are you going to see before you now? you are going to see one ( 1 ) freelancer dropping to the plane, looking about as normal as he ever has except for the fact that he has a dragon on a harness walking next to him. yes. he has it on a harness.
and its name is boomstick, by the way. feel free to ask about that. and if you've never seen army of darkness? he'll gladly sit you down and watch it with you.
have fun. ]

Because it's...
... It's on a-...
Oh my God.]
Are you fucking serious?
[Don't mind her. She's just standing there, hands on her hips, staring at the dragon like the one that is apparently walking it is out his goddamned mind.]
no subject
don't you want something grumpy and attitude-y to commiserate with?( oh york honey be glad you thought better than to say that out loud. she'd be using that harness to strangle you. )and don't you even judge him for the fact that he's taught boomstick to walk on a leash. he might have taken a page out of wash's book, gotten the idea there, but really? there's more to it than that. and if you hang around long enough, you might be able to see some of it. ]
What?
[ c: yes, he's fucking serious. walking a dragon – THIS IS HIS BOOMSTICK – on a harness is very serious business. don't be mad. don't be jelly. ]
no subject
she gets a surprise one late, don't tell her that thoShe's judging you pretty hardcore, man. What the fuck.]
What do you mean, "what"?! You've got a lizard on a leash! That's not fucking normal!
[South. Sweetheart. It's the Plane. The hell is "normal"?]
no subject
wouldn't want to deprive her of that little easter egg, now would we?judge him all you like, he doesn't give any damns. he just looks down at boomstick with a stupid little grin. ] Since when is shit around here normal?
[ ahhh, he's got you there! ]
And he's not a lizard. He's a boomstick.
[ aaaand here we go. ] Don't lump him in with all the normal reptiles.
no subject
It's a reptile! [Snort!] Mythical creature or not, it's still got scales and is a reptile.
[Wait.]
... Boomstick?
no subject
but now he's beaming even more than before. oh, you done did it now. ]
Yeah. You know. Army of Darkness? This is my boomstick? C'mon.
no subject
You NYAH at her and she'll cut your tongue off. You wanna risk that, man? Seriously?
Oh. Well. At least she's heard of it! But still...]
Yeah, missed that one.
[... she's not sure she should have admitted that.]
no subject
… um. no, not really. but he can nyah in his head, right? she can't read his mind well enough to get that far in and catch him .. right?
NO MATTER he's zeroing in on the fact that she seems to have missed one of history's Most Important Films Ever,
( of all time )and you had better be expecting what's coming out of his mouth next …once he's finished gaping at her, of course. one moment. )
You what!?
( THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. ) Okay, no, wait. Hold on. You and me, we're watchin' it together. You don't have a choice. It's a masterpiece, South.
( meanwhile, boomstick is dangerously close to spitting out an experimental spark to scuff south's armor, just for something to do. better watch your dragon, york. )
no subject
Let me guess - if I say no, you're not gonna shut up about it?
[South isn't watching your damn dragon, so you're damn right you'd better be watching your dragon!! She gets scorched, she is going to kill you.]
no subject
yarly.
but he shrugs~ ) I can't guarantee I'd shut up about if even if you said yes, so. Let's go with that.
( meanwhile, an unsuspecting boomstick creeps closer and closer into the personal space of one ( 1 ) south dakota.
and starts promptly trying to chew on one of her boots. hey! at least it wasn't a spark!
… yet. )
no subject
Fine, whatever. If I'm not getting out of it. Don't expect me to provide snacks, though. You just signed yourself up for that.
[Yep, South as no idea! At least, not until she feels this weird sensation like something's poking at her foot... She leans down to look, and when she sees that there is currently a dragon trying to gnaw on her boot, her eyes widen.]
What the--!
[She yanks her foot out of Boomstick's mouth, makes a face as she sees just how covered in dragon slobber she is.]
Ugh!! Fucking hell, York!!
[THIS IS YOUR FAULT!]
no subject
That means your right to bitch about the snacks I pick is revoked. ( this totally works in his favor – even though he's more than likely to pick something you'll both like. like beer and pork rinds or something. total bros-hanging-out food, man.
boomstick makes a sort of petulant dragon noise when his new chewtoy is promptly taken away from him. ( yes, dragons can make petulant noises. well, this one can – and he probably learned it from york. are you at all surprised?
you shouldn't be. )
york just snorts out a laugh, half-assedly giving the leash a yank that doesn't even move the dragon from his spot on the ground. he's not all that great at reprimanding, you know. )
… What? He's just a baby. Maybe he's teething.
