Heart of a Dragon

*Grabs Amber*

*at Anty's*

Amber: wh-why am i so cold...

Anty: because you're at room temperature as opposed to the constant heat your used to with your fire powers.

Hmm... maybe it has to do with her fire breath earlier.

*Anty hunts around*

Anty: Ah here we are.

*He hands her a vial*

Anty: This should give you a heat boost when you need it.

Amber: Is it a potion?

Anty: Green tea.

...is that the Cui Jian tea I got from China? It certainly smells like it! *hates it when people go into his tea stash*

Amber: *goes to drink it* wait......if i'm not heating up from my fire powers then......

Anty: i'm afraid the sting had liquid warp energy on it. your powers are nullified for now......

Anty: I think some rest would do you good anyway. It's been very intense lately.

Amber: r....right *drinks her tea and walks out

*Anty sighs*

Anty: Poor girl.

Yeah... I feel bad for her... doesn't mean I'm not mad at you for going into my tea stash!  

(Louis, he's run an alternative health clinic, he'll have his own green tea)

*Anty groans*

Anty: I know which one's yours Louis, this is my "stash".

((I know.)) ??? ...oops. Sorry, I forgot about that for a moment.

Amber: without my powers i'm useless to this crew..... *lays down* i hope they come back fast

*Anty comes back in*

Anty: You know this may be a good time to have a chat. Often helps with Vibes and the others.

Amber: Vibes does therapy?

Anty: She doesn't like to talk about it.

Amber: what am i supposed to say? that i suddenly gained a new power only to lose them all? that i hurt sal?

I take plenty of therapy. Anyway, I gotta go. A mission came up, be back later. *disappears*

*Anty nods*

Anty: We'll get to that. First of all how you got your powers in the first place.

Amber: it was from warp radiation. like everyone else

Anty: Interesting... Yet this manifestation. It seems...different somehow.

*He pauses*

Anty: We need to take a sample from you.

Amber: how is mine different?

*Anty ponders this*

Anty: Your body seems to react differently. Almost...no...even for us it's crazy.

Amber: explain ant

*Anty groans*

Anty: I think you might be part dragon.

Amber: .......that's ridiculous. even for my home planet. dragons don't exist....least not anywhere near here or there

*Anty nods*

Anty: I know. But logic says when you eliminate all the options anything however improbable needs to be considered. Or at least I think that's how the quote goes.
