[So, you've survived your first—or fiftieth, or five-hundredth—day in Quiet Mounds. Tonight, it's raining—or, it's not. Maybe you're trying to get used to your new, quiet apartment. The electricity is buzzing in that way that's hard to ignore, a silence so loud it's deafening, in that poetic sort of way.]

[Or maybe you're one of the sad sacks still working at the 24/7 joints. Or their why-am-I-even-up-this-late customers. You're the reason why capitalism does this to people, you know.]

[Horns? Lightning? Tsuzuki watches him from under a tree, clearly curious.]

[ sure is a STORM DRAGON GOD THING you sure have experience with those

after a moment: ]

If you're going to stare at me at least introduce yourself properly.

[already feels friendly towards you. comes out to join you under the rain]

Sorry, sorry. I'm Tsuzuki.

[ frowns, brow furrowed, and turns to look at him. ]

... ah. A spirit.

[ that explains that. marginally more inclined to feel kinder towards him, anyway. ]

That's right. [tilts head slightly] Are you a dragon? Shikigami?

What's your name?

... yes, a dragon. A god.

Lung Tai-Zhi.

Nice to meet you. You look like you're enjoying the rain.

It is part of what I am.

[ a pause ]

Of course I'm enjoying it.

It's refreshing.

Something like that.

You enjoy the rain? Many don't.

[raises his face skyward]

I can dry off later. There's nothing wrong with rain!

... quite so.

[ maybe. a bit companionably. ]

[hands out and feeling the drops on his palms, quiet and smiling as they take in the weather]

[ since he's come closer the electricity has certainly chilled out-- only tiny blue sparks here and there, dancing over his clothes or horns.

but he remains quiet for now. ]
