“Interesting. It seems the rain suddenly stopped… usually after aim I black out… I haven’t blacked out for a while… it’s weird… I haven’t been like that…” Poppy said, looking more confused then before, trying to figure out herself.
Taily sighed. “I forgot you did that… but I still don’t understand it, you aren’t connected to the rain… sure you can absorb the rain all together, and absorb entire lakes… but it’s weird.”
(…What??)
(….since when can people absorb lakes…?)
Nightfall let out a relieved sigh. "Wait…she can absorb…lakes…?"
“Maybe she’s like Lapis??” Steven shrugged, secretly a little annoyed that Poppy wasn’t even looking at him; the one who saved her life.
(Oh no. No Pink Steven)
"Hey uh…Poppy, if you want, you can thank Steven for saving your life." The dragon's tone wasn't rude, she just emphasized the two words.
Alaster appears near the injector, opening his eyes and looking around confused. "This doesn't look like hell to me…" He says in his radio-like voice
Spinel just seemed to be joking around with Amethyst, and hadn’t noticed Alaster just yet. It would be in both of their luck for him to do the same.
Alaster noticed them, walking over to them. "Hello there! Might one of you tell me the location I am in?" Amethsyt looked at him strange.
“Uh…Earth??” Spinel replied, looking around as she didn’t know exactly what this place was. She seemed intrigued by his aesthetic, ironically enough. “Y’know this guy, or is he another rando?” She whispered to Amethyst.
"No, I have no idea who he is." she whispered back. Alaster laughed a bit. "I assumed that my dear, but where on earth?" He asked, looking around again. "Hm, I must be on the surface…" He answers his own question.
Spinel sneered at the word ‘dear.’ “Dear? Who ya callin’ dear? You’re the one with antlers.” She tried to hold back any insults by biting her tongue, as she didn’t want to get in trouble with this ominous stranger. “The surface? I guess, yeah.”
Alaster just blinked a little. "Was that supposed to be a joke or an insult? Because I won't get offended by some pink rubber band." Alaster says with a sneer.
She looked pretty tickled by this comment, chuckling. “And I snap just as easily. You get me, dapper man.” She grinned, glancing at Amethyst for a second in a ‘check this out’ kind of way. “But it was more of a comment, than anything.”
(It’s like how Natsu absorbs fire through swallowing it, I word things weird I’m sorry)
“Oh… I’m sorry for being rude. Thank you so much, Steven was it? I’m very great full.” Poppy smiled.
Poppy tilted her head. “I’m a dragon slayer wizard, I have scales on the inside of my body which lets me take in water, or water type magic. Also, this Lapis person sounds very interesting.”
Taily sighed. “I swear Poppy all you think about is water and egg rolls…”
Alaster's eye twitches a bit, but he doesn't lose his composure, looking to amethyst. "Is your friend retarded, insulting the most powerful being in hell?" Amethyst scowls. "No! shes not!"
(Did he just insult SPINEL!? If I was there I'd probably slap him. but he's probably in for it now anyway. GET HIM SPINEL/AMETHYST!!!)
(DID HE JUST INSULT MY BABY I WILL DESTROY HIM cries)
(XDXD)
“Retarded? Nah, I’m Spinel, nice ta meet’cya ” She stretched out a hand as if offering a handshake while winking, knowing full well what she was doing. But she did appreciate Amethyst sticking up for her.

“Oh… I’m sorry for being rude. Thank you so much, Steven was it? I’m very great full.” Poppy smiled.
Poppy tilted her head. “I’m a dragon slayer wizard, I have scales on the inside of my body which lets me take in water, or water type magic. Also, this Lapis person sounds very interesting.”
Taily sighed. “I swear Poppy all you think about is water and egg rolls…”
“It’s alright, I don’t mind. Yes, how did you know?” Steven asked, looking a little worried, not remembering introducing himself in front of them.
“Scales inside your body? That’s kinda creepy.” He chuckled, quickly turning the subject back to Lapis. “Yeah, she is. She’s super powerful, and a little rude/sarcastic. But she’s gotten better, so we call it improvement.”
“Ooh! Is the type to care secretly but tries to hide it under a tough persona? Do you know someone like that?” Poppy asked, she was curious, she wanted to know if there was someone like Erza.
“Yeah people don’t trust us dragon slayers… especially the others… besides my friend Wendy, who is 12, and me, everyone is scared of dragon slayers…”
(People aren't scared of Natsu!! realizes that only applies to the people in the Fairy Tail Guild Wait nevermind.)
Nightfall's widened when she realized that Poppy called herself a dragon slayer. She took a small step back and her tail twitched. "D-dragon…s-slayer?"
“I’m not sure if that’s Lapis, but yeah, we have people like that, I just met Spinel and she’s definitely one of those people. Lapis is more like; ‘I’ll help you, but most of the time, I don’t care.’” Steven chuckled,
“But I get why you would be frightened of someone with the word ‘slayer’ in their title.” He joked, though he didn’t know the context, he didn’t like the idea of killing something that you could talk things out with if you try hard enough. He didn’t like hurting people in general.
“Also. We shouldn’t be talking about killing dragons when there’s a dragon right here, who is very nice, and does not need to be killed. It’s not nice. It’s probably why people fear you.” He scolded, as if he was an adult.
"It's…not too big a deal…just…a little…discomforting…" Nightfall muttered, embarrassed that Poppy was getting scolded because of her.
(Morning)
(Morning!)
“Oh no! I was actually raised by a dragon. I love dragons… I would never hurt a dragon, they’re such beautiful miss understood creatures.” Poppy said, her ‘mother’ was a blue water dragon, just called Bubbles. Bubbles was a powerful dragon, but on the 7th day of the 7th month of the year 777 she vanished. (Lol it’s true)
"Oh, alright." Nightfall said, relieved. "Is there anyone who…would kill me…?"
“Good. I don’t want anybody dying on my watch.” Steven nodded, content with her answer. “I’m going to go meet Spinel and Amethyst at the Injector, I still haven’t finished my song yet. It’s for Spinel, she was hurt by something mom did…because maybe if I apologize it will count as her…saying sorry.” He hadn’t noticed that he said this depressing speech out loud, acting quite aloof about it.
Alaster huffed, dismissing the handshake. "Good day to you, then." He walked off to another area of the woods.
