Blast from the past

(Stop. No fly,) Ua'sha repeated.

Shawmus landed on top of a nearby boulder, his massive wings folding around him.

(No hurt Fiona/Mother,) UaSha sent.

Fiona, sprawled amongst the rocks, tried to scramble to her feet, but her shaking arms slipped from underneath her. The little boy threw himself over her, growling deep in his throat. In another time and place she would have been shocked to hear that noise coming from a four year old child.

(Ua'sha - run - get away!) Fiona sent.

It wasn't a little boy then, but a wolf-cub, his paws braced awkwardly on the rock. A shadow fell over them both as Shawmus opened his beak to seize UaSha by the scruff.

Instead, a panicked streak of fur launched itself at him. His head arching back, Shawmus shrieked into the sky.

Hahahaha, okay, this recent stuff in dekantown is messing with my head in interesting ways. I am probably too tired to write this super coherently, but I'll try.

I've got the potential for a lot of weird to happen whenever I myself go into imaginary places. It was only recently that I started giving myself more permission to go into the dreaming, instead of trying (not entirely successfully) to just watch stories take place from a distance. Before, with the self-as-alien-robot thing, it wasn't just me wandering around in real life and pretending I was an alien, it was a pretty epic story that had two major jiko in it other than me. I spent a whole lot of time talking with them. And then I left that story very suddenly with a lot of stuff unresolved.

The thing is, one of those jiko continued to pop in every now and then. Maybe once every two years, and with only a few words when he did. Surprised me every time. I couldn't talk back to him, though. The last time he did it was last summer. Jim somehow saw it, and has been asking me "Who's the lizardman?" ever since. :P I always thought he looked more like a dinosaur...

Anyway, after I mentioned the name of the alien planet in dekantown (and that really was the first time I'd mentioned it to anyone), then got asked about the "lizardman", he contacts me again. But this time, he wants to talk. I ended up going out for a walk and spending about two hours having a conversation with him, getting filled in on things I'd missed out on since I'd left that world, discussing some of the recent no-fourth-wall stuff, and it was all very strange and interesting. He ended the conversation with "I was glad when you left but I'm happy that you're back" and said that he'd try leave the communication link open although the signal isn't very good. But... yeah, I can talk to him again, and he's just like he's always been, even though I've barely heard from him in nearly 10 years. Kind of boggled that it can still work, and I have no idea where this will go. Maybe he'll show up in Yumeza sometime, although he's sort of a cryptic and unpredictable guy so I'm not sure. He just told me to send you his regards. "No, wait. A cryptic and unpredictable lizardman sends his regards." Maybe he's just sick of being called a lizardman. "Guilty as charged. Eh. Except not." Hahaha, seriously, one of the first things he said was "So I'm the lizardman, now?".
