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.

[former_endboss]

That is why it's called 'magic'. And it takes quite a bit of work.

[notjustinthemirror]

... That's the weirdest spell I've ever heard of. Becoming a dragon for a day?

[former_endboss]

I believe it is called polymorph.

[notjustinthemirror]

So what all can you turn into?

[former_endboss]

Theoretically, most anything that is alive. Practically, you don't want to go too far from human norms.

[notjustinthemirror]

What? Hard to run around with a million legs as an giant octopus monster?

[former_endboss]

It's the brain-you're not getting a complete rewire with the new body, and that leads to problems.

[notjustinthemirror]

What like a sudden craving for fish if you're a bear or something?

[former_endboss]

Well yes. But it can also be phantom limb syndrome-let's say I turn into a unicorn and want to pick something up. Naturally, I go for my hands, but oh wait, I have hooves. And then you very quietly freak out, because HOOVES.

[notjustinthemirror]

Heh. Alright, I see what you mean; having thumbs is pretty great.

Doesn't it work in reverse though? Won't your dragon roommate try and fly and fall on their face?
