Ryslig Sample

(Based on scenario one from the Ryslig Test Drive.)

Leviathan! Leviathan, please wake up.

[Anyone following the sounds of a very worried teenage girl will find a rather strange sight--Squigly is nudging and petting and fussing over a strange white snake dragon sticking out of her own head. The creature is obviously very deeply asleep, hanging limply from her head like a second pigtail.

And Squigly can feel the weight of him coiled in her. They're practically one being, she knows he's all there. But having been fished up out of the water and arriving somewhere so strange, so unlike New Meridian, she has no idea how long she's been asleep or what might have happened in the interim. She can't feel the pressure of a Skullgirl on her will, but neither is Leviathan's voice there to keep her company.]


It's okay. [She strokes the head of her sleeping parasite.] I'll figure out a way to help you.

[ There doesn't seem to be much else for him to do than walk around, and it's not long before he comes across the fretting girl. It does give him pause for a moment, not entirely used to seeing snakes come out of people's heads, but that only urges him on. ]

Leviathan?

[ That makes sense. Actually, it's something close to endearing to name what appears to be a pet snake Leviathan; at least, the way she's treating it seems very pet-like, though perhaps it's named itself. He has to learn more. ]

Shouldn't he like water? [ Not that he seems very similar to one, just pointing out the irony. Still, she seems worried. ] He looks pretty comfortable. Is that how he usually sleeps? [ Inside her head. ]

That could be. [ Because he doesn't know what's happened either, and it's too difficult to comfort someone with a creature he's never seen. ]

But a little water couldn't hurt anyone. [ With the implication that maybe it's not just that. ]

[The voice isn't a hard one to pick up on, and neither is the concern in it-- it's even easier to follow it to its source. The poor thing seemed to be at a bit of a loss-- over the state of her pet, he had to wager? It's kind of hard for Light to tell just form the sound alone. Which is probably why he's not at all perturbed at approaching a girl with a snake on her head.]

Excuse me-- [A polite approach, before getting straight to the point--] --would it not behoove you to take your, 'Leviathan' to a doctor? Or perhaps a veterinarian?

Is that so? [Hm. Seemed his mental image was quite incomplete.]

Unfortunately, I can't say I can see why. The medical progress here does seem to be a bit outdated-- though from the sound of your concern, I would wager your situation is a bit more complicated than that?

[He couldn't resist a slight chuckle at the girl's realization-- though even if she saw it as an oversight, he took it with plenty of good cheer.] Do not worry yourself; despite my impairment, I am quite able to function just as normally as anyone else.

From the sounds of it, that would suggest a sort of symbiotic relationship, wouldn't it? [Parasite sounded a little worrying, but she didn't seem to be that worried about it herself.]

Oh dear. ['Dangerous forces'-- well there was certainly no universe where that would ever be a good thing, and a touch of concern creeps into his voice.]

I can't say I know very much on the subject of parasites or these 'forces' of which you speak-- but if this Leviathan and you are symbiotic, then even if he has yet to waken, I'm sure he must be alright.

[Squigly? An interesting name, and a few of his thoughts are a touch amused by it, even if it does sound a little silly. Not that he's mentioning that.]

My name is Light. [He smiles and bows his head in her direction in kind, either out of his own sense of manners or in reciprocation to her own gesture.] A pleasure to meet you, Squigly.
