what has four legs and a dullahan fetish?

[indoorscholar]

Who: Shinra and you!
When: 2/6, any time
Where: the forest
Style: action/prose/baby you can have whatever you like
Status: open

[Shinra is not Shinra.

Shinra doesn't have a powerful feline body, complete with tan hide and immense paws. Shinra doesn't have his familiar human head attached to said feline body.
Shinra is not a sphinx.

Except...]

Just a dream. Just a bizarre dream. This is biologically impossible. You must have fallen asleep somewhere, and now you're dreaming about things that don't exist. Wake up. Come on. Wake up!

[Nope. Nothing.
Damn it!
Well, could be worse -- at least he knows some good riddles. He pads across a narrow game trail, slender tail swishing with irritation.]

This place is really, truly, batshit insane...

[Test your luck if you dare, he won't bite!

Well, actually...]

[However Jack is not one of the aforementioned princesses. He is simply a foreigner. With really long hair. And a very manly voice. Okay?]

Walking around like I usually do. I'm not really sure why I was in that strange tower. It's like my whole living room was picked up and placed in there!

Very unsettling..

don't worry about it!

[indoorscholar]

A tower, huh? How'd you get out?

[The scale's definitely tipping in the direction of 'male' now. Shinra's front paws crouch ever so slightly - adventurers taste much better than princesses, and boy is he hungry.]

[tangledlocks]

A dragon. What else?

[Jack took his sword with him. Do not even try that with him buddy.]

I appear to have returned the favor...apologies for the lateness!

[indoorscholar]

A dragon?

[An ideal riddle slips away from him as the word piques his curiosity. Was there a dragon nearby? They're known to be quite wise themselves, but probably not worth the fight...hmm.]

And it didn't manage to eat you? Impressive.

Quite okay!

[tangledlocks]

Well, yes. This place is full of strange miracles, you know?

[He laughs.] We had a small bargain. She was a very nice dragon actually.

[indoorscholar]

Hmm, I think I'd agree with you there.

[It certainly was a miracle that so many fools had slipped out of his clutches...maybe it's about time for him to update his riddle repertoire.]

...A bargain from a nice dragon? That's certainly a lucky break.

[Just the slightest hint of disbelief sneaks into the sphinx's voice. Dragons aren't his favorite creatures by a longshot - most of them are far too smug and greedy for his liking.]
