remained. What an enigma.

"So, how'd you learn? Igneel didn't teach you, I know that much. You used the crystal, then?"

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 11h

"Yeah, scales! Dragon slayers get them sometimes when they use their powers, you know. Or if they eat fire. Unless they've been practicing."

A squint at Constantine's face, mumbling.

"Nope, not a single one. Not even a bump. That takes years of dedication."

Hands loosening, through the curiosity

John was so focused on the fire climbing through his veins up his arm, he didn't avoid the boy's hands.

"Hey, quit it, yeah? I don't even know what I did, I wanted to…. divert it..."

With a frown, he pulled away from his grasp.

"What do you mean scales?"

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 12h

Stepping forward. Curiously peeking at the man's glowing veins.

"Ooh, cool! You ate em, AND you're using em to glow!"

A squint. Hands grasping at his face, turning it this way and that.

"Man, you're good. No scales forming, either. You must've been practicing this."

"NO. I SAID I PREFER SPICY CURRY. NOT THAT I WANTED YOU TO THROW A BLOODY FIREBALL AT ME."

Still grumbling, John stared at his own hands. The golden light of the fire was pulsing under his skin like it was running through his veins.

"Guess I did..."

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 13h

"YOU SAID YOU WANTED IT SPICIER!"

It was quite simple in Natsu's mind. More flames meant greater spice.

Surely, the man didn't mind too much. It's not like it hurt!

"SEE, YOU EVEN ATE IT ALL!"

"You fuckin-"

He barely stopped it, but as soon as it hit, flames enveloped his hands and seeped under his skin.

"What the hell...?"

No time for that.

"OI, YOU BASTARD, THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?"

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 13h

Oh!! You want it spicier!

[THROWS FIREBALL]

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 13h

We could train you, though! The dragon slayer crystals!

It's either you'll learn fire magic, or you'll burn up inside and die!

Super fun odds, right?

𝙅𝙖𝙮𝘽𝙞𝙧𝙙🪶 @pitdiver.bsky.social · 13h

Right.. it’s super disappointing. I’m disappointed, can’t you tell?

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 13h

Most people can't do it. It's a pity.

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 13h

[Suddenly excited! Pulling the man by the wrist!!]

Let's go, then! Let's set some shit on fire so I can see this huge manbat!

𝙅𝙖𝙮𝘽𝙞𝙧𝙙🪶 @pitdiver.bsky.social · 13h

[Staring back….]

A piece of shit city. And—

.. yeah. It’s a big bat. Size of a man, actually. Super broody too. Don’t think you’ll see him unless you set a warehouse on fire.

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 13h

[Staring...clueless.]

What's Gotham? And...the bat? You have a bat? As a pet??

...can I see it?

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 13h

((When in doubt about how to portray a character...make them a menace.

You know, Gotham’s got this guy called Firefly, with a whole flamethrower shtick. Really not all it’s made out to be, the Bat got him. WithOUT magic.

Formerly I was a part of the Jinzhou Pioneer Association. Currently? No.

NATSU DRAGNEEL! @fierytaildemon.bsky.social · 3d

That's mighty nice of you to offer, seriously. For now, the guild's keeping it to itself. But, we'll call if the need ever arises.

Which reminds me- do you have a guild?
