...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.

"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."

[alicornucopia]

"Thank you, Glam," says Chevalier.

[mxglam]

"Aaaanyway," they say, because they're not about to let this stop them, they just got going. "There's still the question of what kind of dragon. Wyrm? Maybe one of those long Chinese dragons?"

[msecho]

"Ooh, yes, one of those! They're the coolest dragons!"

[thinkering]

"Those don't have wings, do they?"

[mxglam]

"Nope, but that's never stopped me!" They hover a bit before dropping back onto the chair.

Dinner seems to be winding down, except for a couple slow eaters. Miss Militia's plate is already clean.
