Dragon's bride

The Dragon's Bride

Flames, then ash. Your village will be left with little else should the dragon that plagues the countryside not get his demanded sacrifice...if you're lucky. Your good fortune turns south, the bones of your neighbors (or whatever else remains of them) litter a new charred graveyard that was once a town. So, the necessary offers must be made. At least that's the hope. The alternative would be too awful to contemplate. In a last-ditch effort to save those you love — or against your will, as these things tend to go with forcibly created martyrs — you have been hoisted onto the pyre, waiting for the dragon to fly off with you. What terrors race through your mind as your doom impends? How you'll end up in a beast's belly, no doubt. Except, you must consider this: there are worst fates than being a dragon's next meal. A monster that covets you as its treasure...a new type of danger unfurls its wings. You've become a dragon's bride. But could such an infernal creature ever learn to know honest, unselfish affection? Is it possible to be more than a "spouse?" A mere treasure? Perhaps, you could learn to be a dragon's love. HOW TO PLAY ✗ Comment with your character, roles ("dragon" or "bride") prefs, etc. ✗ Y'all know how this goes. Approach "dragon" as a stand-in. The monster mash could be elves, orcs, goblins, werewolves, demons, dwarves, fey, purple people eaters, what have you. Of course, actual dragon and shifters folks are welcome, too! And don't think that you have to make your boring human a boring ol' human. Consider this the monster/supernatural being/cryptid/creature AU of your dreams! ✗ Second verse, same as the first, "bride" registers as gender-neutral 'round these parts. That word choice just sounds a touch more poetic. ✗ Reply to others.

[ The bride. ]

[100% the dragon, and the rumors about him have been greatly exaggerated.

OR, the "bride", who finds the dragon incredibly fascinating.]

[ Voicetesting! Content warnings in profile.

Could be a "bride" being sent to dispatch the dragon, or could be the "dragon" being appeased. ]

[The dragon, the bride, maybe both? She's a visual kei / punk rock type of girl who has a rough outside and a much softer inside. After an angry youth she's doing her best to be more giving and loving nowadays -- harsh to the strong, kind to the weak.

Basically if she's the dragon she's not exactly a fearsome one in spite of her looks. Though boy she can sure give that impression sometimes.]

[ ooc: OK I bring another weird one so hear me out. Joe as the "bride," Reko as the dragon. she accepts him mostly out of a sense of being impressed somebody would volunteer as a sacrifice to her, so it could stay platonic or could become romantic. can defos see him with a crush on her, sitting with his head in his hands like why am I attracted to the dragon why. could be a literal dragon or more of a Beauty & the Beast thing ]

[musicaldemon]

[Aww Joe, my guy, you're too good for this world. I really love the Beauty & the Beast angle with the bonus of crushing, that's just too damn cute.]

Jumped right in, let me know if you'd rather I didn't/if there's anything to change

[lady_kaivodulin]

She makes a poor housewife.

Still, it's better than being burned at the stake, which she suspected was to be her lot had some...enterprising priest not decided to appease a demon and rid them of a bothersome she-elf witch in one go. So...here she was, dressed in something gauzy and disarrayed and moving somewhat aimlessly around this...lair. She's accustomed to luxurious trappings and a cave does not at all suit her. Neither does marriage, to be fair-- to anyone or anything-- but she's made the best of a bad situation before, she will do so again.

"I don't suppose you'd object to me... redecorating somewhat?"

[ ooc: aged-up / adult Connie by default! she'd probably be the bride, but make no mistake she's more knight than damsel. ]

[tazunajoe]

So this is the offering they have given him. How pitiful. And this is supposed to tempt him not to simply roast and eat them all? She's a scrawny thing, tear-stains on her face already. He can tell she didn't exactly volunteer for the role. Is she expecting him to eat her? It sort of seems like she is.

The dragon looks at her with those unblinking eyes, a look curiously like a smile gracing his fanged mouth.

"Tell me your name, woman."
