Saving up for a better sword?

[former_endboss]

It's a traditional weapon for bullies.

[notjustinthemirror]

It's a fence post.

[former_endboss]

Pretty shitty fencepost. Not a single nail in it, much better living its false life as a sword now.

[notjustinthemirror]

So what are you planning to do with your lunchmoney earnings?

[former_endboss]

Invest them. Or squander them gambling on the ponies. Whatever floats the boat.

[notjustinthemirror]

First 401k started via money intended for mashed potatoes, green beans and something masquerading as meat loaf. I like it.

[former_endboss]

Actually, they also had something called falafel today. I don't know what that is, but it was pretty good. But I already ate, so back to the investment portfolio. Gotta make sure my dragon is well-provided for.

[notjustinthemirror]

Dragon.

Is that a euphemism for something?

[former_endboss]

Nope. Actual dragon who is my roommate. A bit of a magically skilled one to boot. Spits acid instead of fire, but you can't win them all. She's young, and doesn't have much in the way of a pile 'o' treasure yet. So I thought I'd help out.

[notjustinthemirror]

Why does everyone get better roommates than me? Mine was a guy with a dog who was constantly filming a movie.

I'd rather have a dragon.

[former_endboss]

Hey, I'd take the movie-guy. Movies are awesome, especially when I write them.

That said, the dragon is better than movie-guy, hands down.

What happens when the dragon's hoard of shinies takes up the whole room?

[former_endboss]

We've taken over the old music room. I get an organ to play with, she has plenty of space.

And if she fills it up with copper and silver, we'll upgrade to gold and platinum.

[notjustinthemirror]

I think you've thought this out far too much.

[former_endboss]

Nah, I've seen her mother's hoard. And that is the proper word, for a couple of tons of precious metals and historical artifacts.

[notjustinthemirror]

What do they even do with all that crap?

[former_endboss]

Sleep on it.

[notjustinthemirror]

... What a boring existence.

[former_endboss]

They live for thousands of years, collecting bigger and bigger beds of stuff is all that they have to fill the time.

[notjustinthemirror]

What's the point of living for thousands of years if all you're gonna do is sleep? Must suck being a dragon.

[former_endboss]

I dunno, I tried it once, it seemed okay. Not the sleeping, since they do more than that, but most of the rest of it was all right.

[notjustinthemirror]

You tried being a dragon? That's just a thing you can do? Be a dragon for a day?

[former_endboss]

The dragon spends a lot of time as a human these days. Why can't I be a dragon for a couple of hours?

[notjustinthemirror]

Because generally people can't become something just by wanting to be it. Dragons for instance. Or chairs or unicorns or couch cushions.
