green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

@AlexandriaYandere@witches.town this is the first thing I've seen about it that makes me want to play dwarf fortress. XD

"If you require further refreshment," it squeaks and rumbles as you stand there dripping, "there is an ice cream wyrm in the pavilion due south of here, beside the lake."

You find that you are actually shivering in the shade. You pause for a moment, wondering if the ice cream wyrm would give you a cone or spew cold dairy treat all over you, before nodding respectful thanks and hurrying away about your business.

It turns to look at you, the motion of its head squeaking comically. "Do you need to cool down?" it asks, in a voice of rushing water and more of that rubberized squeaking.

"Yes, please," you say, almost panting.

The dragon opens its maw wide, and you have a moment of misgiving before a multicolored spray of little spheres, each as big as your fist, hurtles towards you. Caught completely by surprise, you flinch slightly as the balloons burst, splashing you with refreshing, cool water.

The water balloon dragon sits quietly in the shade of a single tree, watching people toil past in the grueling sunshine with an air of detached nobility, only slightly marred by the constant dribbling of condensation around its feet. Shallow puddles of water underneath it have attracted several small birds, who are splashing happily.

You approach the majestic figure, drawn by waves of cool air it radiates into the baking heat of the day, and pause in the shadow of the tree to catch your breath.

@Oneironott cooking! it's alchemy you can eat! :D

@Oneironott how I learned: I bought a Rider-Waite deck and literally taped the explanations from the booklet for each card to the card in question, and did readings with that. XD I called it my "training wheels deck," and it worked great for me! I ended up gifting it to another Tarot-reader-in-training. it does make the deck thicker and harder to handle, but since it's a practice deck, enh! ;)

@KawaSeadrake indeed it has not, though tbh it's less the in-birb nastiness than the out-birb news that I was reacting to. birbhell makes it hard to for me to resist the anxiety that the world is in fact going to hell RIGHT NOW, and there's probably nothing I can do about it, and oh look there's something EVEN WORSE. :|

@kara_dreamer@witches.town "it's fucking too hot to do anygoddamnthing" is a totally valid excuse today imo. o_______o
