...Very unseasonable rains can be seen in the distance from the shores of Acapulco.

The Brockton Bay Protectorate starts organizing volunteers to be transported or teletransported in batches to it. Heroes, rogues, villains, anyone's assistance is appreciated. A rendez-vous point is set for non-Protectorate capes wishing to volunteer, and Protectorate capes are informed of the situation via communication devices.

"Anybody who was paying attention," clarifies Boots, folding his arms.

"Okay, that's a possibility," Glam concedes, trying not to inflame his teammate. "But in any case, even if Lorica had in fact seen my face while we were testing, I've told you I can look pretty much like whatever I want," buuuullshit except maybe now it's not, "so it wouldn't necessarily mean anything."

"Whatever you want?" Dauntless asks.

"Within reason," Glam is forced to admit. "I haven't been able to become a dragon. Yet."

[thinkering]

"But if you meet a talking dragon it's probably Glam," says Lorica.

[mxglam]

"Please don't become a dragon here," Dauntless asks.

"Please do!" Echo demands, interested in the conversation for the first time.

"I'll let you know when I've figured out how to become a dragon and show you in some suitably open and isolated place."

"Thank you," Dauntless chuckles.

"You could be a small dragon," says Lorica, gesturing a size about three feet long.

[mxglam]

"Well, where's the fun in being a small dragon?"

"Um, you'd be a friggin' dragon?" Echo says.

"Okay, point," Glam laughs.

[thinkering]

"And you could become a larger dragon when you no longer had to operate in a building designed for humans."

[msecho]

"Now I'm imagining a building designed for dragons and it looks so cool."

[mxglam]

"So cool," Glam agrees.

[alicornucopia]

"You're all nerds," comments Boots.

[mxglam]

"You're saying you don't think dragons are cool? You, sir, are wrong!"

[msecho]

"So wrong," Echo agrees.

[alicornucopia]

"They're not even real."

[mxglam]

"That's not the right mindset! Superheroes weren't real until a couple of decades ago, and now they are. If I become one then they'll be real."

[alicornucopia]

"You won't actually be a dragon, you'll be some kind of freaky Changer nerd."

[mxglam]

"Who can a) spit fire, b) fly, c) roar, d) eat you. I think that qualifies as actually being a dragon."

"Don't actually eat Boots," Dauntless asks.

[alicornucopia]

"I'd kick its ass," says Boots.

[mxglam]

"Not if I was flying at the time!"

[alicornucopia]

"Which you couldn't be if you were trying to eat me, dumbass."

[mxglam]

"No, by the time I tried I'd've already charred you to a burnt husk."

[msecho]

Echo is trying and failing to hide how inordinately pleased she is at the mental image of Boots being eaten by a dragon.

[alicornucopia]

"Glam, I don't want to have to warn you any more about threatening people," says Chevalier, before Boots can say anything.

[mxglam]

"...I was joking. Sorry. I don't actually want to eat you, Boots."

[alicornucopia]

"Be careful with jokes like that. Even with other capes the possibility of fights isn't always taken lightly."

Boots snorts.

[mxglam]

They sigh. "I'll avoid making jokes like that."
