That cat bastard took off with a turkey, the little fucker. Guess we're making due with what you bring, Faye. I can still whip up stuffing and pie. Pumpkin or pecan?

Human, you look familiar.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Well, I think I'm the only toothy guy around here maybe.

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Voice Post [] Engage Active Translation ]

Teeth for eyes, yes?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

That's right. You're the one Jan calls dragonhorse?

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Voice Post [] Engage Active Translation ]

Kssh...

Affirmative.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I guess you know I'm the Corinthian then.

To the primates, the humans. Are you familiar with what my people call your... more familiar incarnation, or shall I assume you have too many names to remember?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I go where the boss chooses to send me, though admittedly I don't have anywhere near the amount of names he does. Who are your people?

We are the [brief musical bit/untranslatable].

You are Eth'akee'kelimishee? The White Dream Stalker, Eater of Eyes?

I must say that until now, you were but a story to scare young foals, our children, into behaving.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Interesting sound, can't say I'm familiar with it, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been compared to the boogey man.

You are not such to my caste. Between you and me, some of my herdmates have the belief that if they eat the eyes of those they have slain in combat, they will acquire their wisdom. I have tried it but do not practice it; I did not feel any smarter, nor wiser but whatever satisfies them.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I'm familiar with the practice, though I don't think it works for many others. Got a name?

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Voice Post [] Engage Active Translation ]

"Guardian" would suffice. My name among my caste herdmates "Fleet-Foot" is also acceptable.

You are Corinthian in your human shape. Correct?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

All right Guardian. Yeah that's me, Corinthian... Eth'akee'kelimishee is a little too long for my taste.

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Voice Post [] Engage Active Translation ]

Very... well. Corinthian.

You still... serve your function?

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Am I talking to a two-headed dragonhorse?

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Voice Post [] Engage Active Translation ]

You do then. Khhhht.

You are fond of only one, it appears.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

It's my job, really.

What's that?

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Voice Post [] Engage Active Translation ]

You appear to be fond of one head with fixed eyes. That would be a limiting arrangement in regards to sight I would imagine but far be it for me to question one who sees through their teeth.

Who is this "boss" of yours.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Call it a personal attachment to this form.

That'd be Lord Dream of the Endless, the man who created me. I imagine he's been through your pantheon before.

... Gilemechunee'akahe. The Lank One With The Stars In His Eyes, Black Dream Stalker. I am familiar with him. He is rooted deeper in our culture than you are for he has been for as long as we have existed and were aware. You must be a recent creation for you are but a cult figure of a thousand years or so in our circle and a few others, for they share the delusion of wisdom from eye consumption as well.

Is audience possible with The Lank One, Farther-Behind Corinthian?

((OOC: Yes, that is a title of respect. D% Gaad considers Dream Hindmost to her.))

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

Black Dream Stalker...?

If by recent you mean a good two and a half thousand years yeah that applies.

I can ask our Lord for you, what's your concern?

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

[ Voice Post [] Engage Active Translation ]

He is not black? Our records claim he is black, but recently our spirituality has been on the decline.

... Our measure of time is different, the translator did not quite adjust that to my standard:

A little over a thousand or so for us, two and a half for you. If I am correct, we have a longer year. This explains why my [winter] coat has yet to come in. Rrrrr...

Understand, Farther-Behind, that had I died recently yet I still live. I dream about my death almost every night, again and again. My beliefs cannot calm me for it was an honorable way to go, for my people and my Hindmost, but it is to where I cannot sleep. Seldom one has the opportunity to beg for relief from these terrible nightmares and I am an opportunist. I would forever be in your debt for a restful night's sleep.

[bitingnightmare.livejournal.com]

I understand your case now. I'll let our Lord know you seek audience with him for this matter. He'll probably take a liking to you, you remind me of the hippogriff.

[singingguardian.livejournal.com]

I do not quite understand but I feel this is a good sign nonetheless. You have my gratitude, Farther-Behind, and it does not come easy.
