"Jerk. I'm not a reptile."

"Well, you are a shapeshifter, so I'd say any appellation of shape is pretty much meaningless in your case. I'm mostly calling you a reptilian overlord now because it sounds really catchy to me for some reason. I probably should just call you by your name instead, though."

"You sure smell like a reptilian overlord, at any rate. They are deceptive in their looks, you see. The lizard lady over there, though, seems pretty harmless, all in all. A reptilian underling, if you will. You're the one behind the scenes, obviously."

"A underling he says, ha!" Eria shakes her head "Still, what is a 'american dollars'?"

"So, paying evil unto evil? Sound strategy, kid. Will solve all your troubles, yeah."

"I can think of one or two troubles it would fail."

"Aw, don't get bent out of shape over it, reptilian overlord. I was merely making conversation while our delightful overlords wait for God only knows what to happen to throw us in the fray or whatever. You are right in that it doesn't matter at all, which was partly the point I was making with the voodoo magic angle."

"We don't even have overlords and if we did, I would be one. _{^{Mainlying because of wiping out the competition.}}"

"No offense there, lady. When I say 'reptilian overlord', I mean the sort that took over human society with their shapeshifting powers and ran it from the shadows for centuries, causing all kinds of interesting events. You probably had nothing to do with it."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"How does that work, though? You turn matter into energy, and it just floods out into the surrounding area all thermodynamically and whatnot. Absorb more heat, and you've basically violated the second law of thermodynamics six ways to Sunday, and that's only possible through voodoo magic. So the technobabble eventually leads on back to voodoo magic anyway, so it's pretty much pointless to begin with, no?"

"Oh, no. I'm not from space. I'm from the woods. You're the only one cottoning to this alternate universe schtick, really."

"No offense there, lady. When I say 'reptilian overlord', I mean the sort that took over human society with their shapeshifting powers and ran it from the shadows for centuries, causing all kinds of interesting events."

etc
Angel does her best to ignore the crazy guy.

I sigh
"never mind. It doesn't really matter anyway."
I continue to look off to the side, hiding my face, sniffing occasionally.

Angel hugs her.

"Excuse me, green crystal lady. May I call you Scion?"

((It would work better if she was a man made out of gold.))

[scapheap]

"American dollars is a type of currency."

"Thank you, now what a currency?"

"No offense there, lady. When I say 'reptilian overlord', I mean the sort that took over human society with their shapeshifting powers and ran it from the shadows for centuries, causing all kinds of interesting events. You probably had nothing to do with it."

"Fairly certain none of us had that sort of power. Heck, I'm the first one with powers of any type."

[DarkArtemisFowl]

"How do you know, precisely?" Jordan looked at Zechariah. "Maybe you should mind your own business while I'm proving a point."

"Because I've dealt with these kinds of forces before. Four times over, actually. One was the source of my power, the other three were to save other people and their worlds. It's because of them that I have my power, and because of them a lot of my friends have died. So you could consider your words or just test your fate against them. But I have people I need to protect here."

"Currency is a.. Human invention. Used to value items and labor and time.

[Lenglon]

"No offense there, lady. When I say 'reptilian overlord', I mean the sort that took over human society with their shapeshifting powers and ran it from the shadows for centuries, causing all kinds of interesting events. You probably had nothing to do with it."

"Why would I want to do that? That would ruin the point of having human society in the first place."

Angel hugs her.

I gently rock from side to side with my eyes closed.

[Fniff]

But I have people I need to protect here."

"Currency is a.. Human invention. Used to value items and labor and time.

"I've dealt with them too. Mostly for jobs. They're all about respect. If you let them screw you... then you'll find they'll keep screwing you until you have nothing left. It's like dealing with animals. They respect anger more then they respect fear."

[scapheap]

"Currency is a.. Human invention. Used to value items and labor and time.

"So he..." She point at Jordan "...wants a measuring stick?"

[Fniff]

"Somewhat. The measuring stick is made of paper and is the size of your hand. You give it to people and they give you things that are as valuable as the dollar."

[Harry Baldman]

"Fairly certain none of us had that sort of power. Heck, I'm the first one with powers of any type."

"Exactly. I'm talking about different reptilian people altogether. I'm sure there are plenty. Apparently there's a multiverse if you believe Irine's particular brand of assuredly well-researched information."

"Why would I want to do that? That would ruin the point of having human society in the first place."

"I dunno. Some nefarious purpose. Or worse, for fun. Point is, it happened. Shapeshifters, man! Or lady. Say, can you flip genders on a whim?"

"I've dealt with them too. Mostly for jobs. They're all about respect. If you let them screw you... then you'll find they'll keep screwing you until you have nothing left. It's like dealing with animals. They respect anger more then they respect fear."

"Might I point out that they can hear you, buddy? Manipulation doesn't work when you mouth off about exactly what you're doing to the one you're trying to manipulate."

[DarkArtemisFowl]

"Well you and I are fighting a similar war then. But I fight differently. We're at their mercy right now, and I'd rather have everyone alive at this point and gain the upper hand later."

[Fniff]

"Now, that's an example of what you shouldn't say. While mouthing off is okay, saying 'I'm going to backstab these guys so hard" is more of an alarm to them then me showing my teeth."

[Lenglon]

"Fairly certain none of us had that sort of power. Heck, I'm the first one with powers of any type."

"Exactly. I'm talking about different reptilian people altogether. I'm sure there are plenty. Apparently there's a multiverse if you believe Irine's particular brand of assuredly well-researched information."

"meanie."

"Why would I want to do that? That would ruin the point of having human society in the first place."

"I dunno. Some nefarious purpose. Or worse, for fun. Point is, it happened. Shapeshifters, man! Or lady. Say, can you flip genders on a whim?"

"no."

[Fniff]

"Really? That's the most fun part of shapeshifting, apparently. God, you got a really bum deal."

[Harry Baldman]

"no."

"Oh. How unfortunate. That would be a neat power. What can you shapeshift into, anyway?"

[DarkArtemisFowl]

"Doesn't matter. They already know what I do and what I'm going to do. They just want to toy with me at this point. I'm not sure about the green lady, but I know Mr. Shadow is out to kill me."
