[Hakkai has no answer for him. He doesn't even really understand how it works. All he knew was that magic and science and then his dragon. He can drive it and that's all that matters, really. It got him and his companions from point A to point B with the occasional accidental detour.
He can understand how someone not from his world would be baffled by something like Hakuryuu.
So all he could do is lift his shoulders in a shrug.]
Ahaha! You're just fine, I assure you. I'm guessing your world doesn't have dragons that can turn into vehicles?
[He lets out another laugh and pets the hood of the jeep. The jeep'so headlights flash as it lets out a "kyuuu", then transforms back into the tiny, little flying dragon.
[He leads him back inside to show him around the rest of the small medical stores, to the back, where there are more boxes of things, a bit of the larger equipment, and most importantly, a couple of cots for staff to crash out on after long days. It's a good set up.]
[Hakkai follows him along quietly during the rest of the tour, listening to the explanations given to him about the things there. He's impressed by how well put together the clinic is by just gathering stuff he found and whatnot.]
How busy does this place get? I'm guessing pretty busy when it's more...eventful here?
We don't keep a formal list anywhere- though we've got a few people now, we really should. But people's duties are fluctuating and diverse-
We'll call it a project in the works. There's me and Kate, we're here almost full time, then there are five or six young people who do mostly scavenging. We also liaise with the watch group that's starting up, and teach them first aid classes, so in an emergency they'll be on-call, I guess, or helping triage? But they're all new amateurs.
All right. I understand. So it's a volunteer as needed sort of group. That sounds like it makes sense given the nature of this place. You don't know who will be incapable of helping when those things happen.
How often would you need my help? Or is that up to me?
Completely up to you. I could use some relief in terms of shifts being on hand- I try to keep someone here at all times and I'm feeling a little cooped up.
[Even mostly living here.]
So whatever you're comfortable with? You can also join Kate and I- we're doing a long term, standing card tournament.
I can stop by a bit everyday if that makes things easy for you. Does anywhere from three to eight hours a day work for you? And if you need me to stay longer if the workload is hefty, I can do that, too.
That's all right with me. I'm sure I have the gist of everything here.
[He tips his head to the side just a bit.]
Why out into the caves? They're fairly dangerous aren't they? My roommate and I made a trip there to see what they were about and ran into some...difficulties.

[He says, blinking hard. Maybe he's pinned the wrong name on this little creature.
He sort of hopes so, honestly.]
no subject
[He nods. He sure didn't pin the wrong name.]
Hahaha...I don't know the mechanics of it, but he can turn into a jeep that seats about five people comfortably.
[It is what it is.]
no subject
[He proposes, putting his clipboard down and moving to follow along.]
I'm not going to be able to picture it.
no subject
[He goes outside and lifts up an arm for his dragon to fly off of his shoulder.]
Hakuryuu, please transform for us.
[Hakuryuu lets out a cute little "kyuuu!" and in a flash of light, he transforms into a full sized open top green jeep
Hakkai goes over to it and pats the hood. The sound it makes signifies that it is indeed made of a metal.]

[Bruce has seen ridiculous things in his time, gave up on the idea of conservation of mass years ago, but this is pushing it, even for him.
Maybe it's all, Hadriel from start to finish, one elaborate gamma sickness related hallucination?]

He's stick shift and runs on food.

[He lets out another laugh and pets the hood of the jeep. The jeep'so headlights flash as it lets out a "kyuuu", then transforms back into the tiny, little flying dragon.
The dragon looks at Bruce then looks at Hakkai.]
Don't worry, he'll get used to you...maybe.
no subject
[Says Bruce.]
Okay, let's go finish the tour.
[He leads him back inside to show him around the rest of the small medical stores, to the back, where there are more boxes of things, a bit of the larger equipment, and most importantly, a couple of cots for staff to crash out on after long days. It's a good set up.]

Did anyone explain what happened there? I take it you're quite new- you might not remember.
no subject
I'm fairly new. I haven't heard of being buried. I've only heard of...people meat?
no subject
Suffocation, starvation, dehydration, bruising, torn knuckles, fingernails, and so on.
no subject
These gods certainly know how to get what they want, don't they?
How did you manage? Are there a lot of volunteers.

A long-term, standing card tournament?
no subject
We made our own deck. Right now we're on crib, but we might move to rummy, or pull a fourth in for yuker.
no subject
[And he's a beast at them. That pretty, smiling face of his is the best poker face.]
My roommate and I tried making a deck, but making it was more of the recreation than playing with them.
[And he will show them to no one because a few cards involve boobs and scribbles thanks to his roommate]
no subject
[Agreeing, stepping back.]
So if it's all right with you, I might leave you here for an hour or two. I'd like to get back out to the caves this week.
no subject
[He tips his head to the side just a bit.]

no subject
[He promises, very certainly, already on his way for the door.]
I'll let Kate know you're here.
no subject
[He nods and watches him leave. He wonders what kinds of abilities this guy might have if his own didn't quite work in the caves.]
