Snek likes his seafood.And now I have the amusing image of Snek chomping on Cthulhu while saying "Bad octopusss, bad octopusss" in my mind forever.
And this also deepens the mystery of who, or what his Master is.
What do you mean, Glory Girl? Riley spelled it out for you:Vicky raised her eyebrows. "She didn't say they were magically dissolving stitches too. But I'm honestly not surprised."
"This is enchanted thread—I have no idea how it works, but I know it does—which will speed the healing process, keep the wound clean, and vanish once you're healed. It won't even leave a scar."
"So, wait." Paige was still getting her head around the idea. "You're all from Earth Bet?"
"Every single one of us." The bandits were now all secure, so Noelle removed the arrow from her crossbow, decocked it, then slung it across her back.
Correct.The Travelers are recently from Earth Bet, but originally from Aleph, right?
I would like to plant in your mind the vision of an older and wiser John de Lancie. Dressed as Merlin, of course.And this also deepens the mystery of who, or what his Master is.
"Because it normally doesn't happen this fast," Riley said. "Usually, it takes a week or so. We only get this sort of thing happening when the people and the hearth-dragons are horribly lonely. As the boss would put it, they fill the void in each other's hearts."
She needs magic to do that, and she can only get that from Snek's world.And now PanPan will want to make her own dragon family on Earth Bet.
I think everyone does.This right here, this is perfection. However never in my life have I been more jealous. I want a cuddle dragon....
They also knew she was coming at it from a standpoint that was factually mistaken. She ignored what she was told by Vicky about the dragons, and what she was told about how easy it was to get back.Not sure if this was intentional or not, but if I was someone monitoring that conversation I'd be slamming the Master/Stranger button by now.
The description of immediately feeling "happy" in the presence of the dragon, Amy being willing to (almost) completely cut ties with her family over it, the rapid acceptance of the dragon from most of the group, the weird moments of synchronicity ("she's not a pet!"), the fact that the entire family is now going over and fully intends to get dragons of their own...
Carol actually seems downright reasonable in this case.
Outside the story we know it's not true, but if you squint just right you could make an argument that some of the bond is Master-adjacent even then.
Carol also seems fully justified in her "they deliberately disobeyed me and put themselves into a potentially hazardous situation" stance, especially since the entire family just scrambled to try and find them when they dropped out of contact.
She may not have worded it perfectly, but the intent was perfectly clear and was perfectly understood by both Amy and Vicky. They literally did know what she meant.
They also knew she was coming at it from a standpoint that was factually mistaken. She ignored what she was told by Vicky about the dragons, and what she was told about how easy it was to get back.
As for cutting ties, zero secret was made of the bond, and Amy was totally willing to leave a situation where she's only moderately happy sometimes to preserve the best thing that's happened to her in forever. Also, people do feel happy around hearth-dragons. That's how they were created.
Fair, I overstated on that front.As for the family 'intending' to get dragons of their own; Crystal wants one because she thinks Twilight is the cutest thing ever. Vicky thinks she's pretty neat, too. But what they're mainly going there for is to just meet hearth-dragons (and big dragons). Nobody expects to bond with their own hearth-dragons.
I would argue it's less ignoring and more not accepting as objective truth when viewed from the perspective of a character in the setting.Carol is only reasonable if you ignore about half of what was actually said.
Could just be my expectations are skewed too much from reading other Worm fics, it just feels like everyone except Carol took about five minutes to decide "everything is fine, there's no risk, let's go have some fun in this other world."
