You're here to make friends; ask her about what sort of stuff she likes to do. She's eager to talk, so you shouldn't have a problem asking bluntly "What do you like to do when you go to your friends' house?"

But if that falls through, an exersize in magic with an audience might help you learn to control your powers better.

E, B.
More friends, more adventure!

A, e

A and B, there's nothing preventing you from talking while you play.

Outside! E

>Huh, wha, dragon planes? Oh, no. ...but what if dragon planes?
Sounds cool! But how would you ride... oh geez.

>Nerd out about magic and rant about how everything inevitably ends in a generic support healer build.
That's a terrifying thought. The only way to heal wounds is by using LIFE MAGIC, a school of magic capable of changing life itself. In mortal hands, it could lead to some truly unspeakable things.

It's probably for the best that mortals consider it forbidden. Even dragons are loath to touch that particular school of magic!

>Hey Ceri, do you think the bookstore in the mall is gonna ban you because the owner is afraid that you'll damage the books with either fire or water? Or do you think you managed to get out of there without being noticed and you can go back to the bookstore later?
The owner's usually asleep, so you're probably fine.

>Does your mom feel the same way about your boobs?
You know better than to ask. but probably

>Just because your dragon form doesn't wear clothes doesn't mean it's naked! Can a quadruped even be considered naked?
From what you understand, dragons are similar to reptilians in that they don't consider nudity to be an issue. But you've grown up with a mammal family, so the thought of doing that is...!


Okay, enough spacing out. "I um, I think my plan is to switch outfits and head back out to find more friends I guess?"

Mom emits several high-frequency bat-sounds that your giant ears graciously amplify for you. Thanks, ears. thears

"Our daughter's going outside! On her own! Without us making her do it!!!"

Wait, dad's excited?? "Oh, this is wonderful, dear! It's just like I told ya, you just have to get out there and the friends will flow like fine wine!"

"Especially if you offer them fine wine!" Mom adds.

"We should drink some of our own fine wine to celebrate this occasion!"

"To our daughter finally meeting other people!"

"And to her actually talking to them!"

"Maybe she'll even find some romance!"

"Honey please my heart can't handle the thought of her doing that!"

"But what if she does, though!?"

"I can't wait to meet Ceri's partner and act like the tough dad that has to be won over!"

"And-- and I get to be the caring mom who holds you back!"

"Which you're really good at because you're much stronger than me."

"I know~"

It's not often you see them act so... lively. Their excitement is infectious enough that you're almost not completely terrified at the thought of actually trying to ask someone out.

Well, while they're distracted with that, you'll slip into your room and decide on a NEW OUTFIT to wear.

Hahaha, just kidding. Of course you have multiple copies of the same outfit for when you accidentally set one on fire.

It's uh. It's come up before.

Several times.

it's a good thing you're a water dragon huh? a good job, even.

Hoping this outfit lasts longer than the last one, you set out with Keireer to... what was it, again?

'Make tons of new friends'?

Aw man, that means you have to talk to people. You're gonna mess up and say cringy things that you'll think about every night for the next 30 years.

"Your parents seem nice, Ceri!" Keireer says.

"Yeah they seem uh, they seem excited to meet you. They probably think you'll introduce me to a ton of new people or something."

"I can do that!" She chirps happily.

"W-wait, what?"

"Sure, I've met a lot of interesting people here! I bet they'd love to meet a real life dragon face-to-face~"

"L-let's not tell people I'm a dragon, okay? It's so embarrassing..."

"Oh, of course! Still, though, I'm sure they'd love to meet you."

"Oh geez."

"And you have to introduce me to your sister!"

"E-eh??"

"Your mom was talking about her while you were switching outfits! Your sister sounds pretty cool, *Chirp~!*"

"She's something, all right."

Daatra isn't actually your sister in the physical sense. Rather, the two of you share a sisterly bond formed by your mutual dislike of talking to other people. It could be nice to have her around for support.

Then again, she might beat you up for dragging her into this.

not that she'd do any damage. dragon scales are tough.

Anyway, guess it's time to continue this whole 'meeting people' thing. Where to?

A: Park.
According to Keireer, there's a gator-woman hanging out at the pond. She's from a backwater community. Even more backwater than this place. Keireer asks you to keep an open mind, since she's still adjusting to the sensibilities of non-reptilians...

B: Gym.
A 'nearvan' often works out here. Nearvans are avian creatures Apparently he's a musician? It could be neat to hear him play something! Keireer warns he's a little... flirty. But don't worry, she says, she'll make sure he flirts with her instead of you!

C: Return to the mall.
Speaking of nearvans, there's also one here. He's also a musician... Keireer insists it's not the same person. He's also flirty, but in a more playful and non-serious way?? You couldn't imagine being like that.

D: Dragon Fan Club.
Keireer looks around nervously. There's a... creature here that's hard to describe. But she's really nice, Keireer insists! She is... multiple creatures at the same time? With one 'main' body and uh... just don't worry about that right now, haha. She's really nice!

E: Docks.
An owl-like birb is here! She's out to explore the world and see the sights, and is apparently good at sneaking up on people? Oh gosh.

F: Library.
Apparently there's a science-focused kigavi who hangs out here? Kigavi are quadrupedal bird-like creatures with 2 wings and 4 legs. Apparently they have both beans and sossiges??

G: Spa.
A creature known as a 'yinget' frequents the spa. They're smaller creatures with long thin limbs, long necks, and a big ol tooth in the front of their mouth. You might have to fight the urge to pet her.

H: Lake.
There's a 'keybain' living here hanging out at the lake. Keybains are another species of um, bird. Gosh, Keireer knows a lot of birds, huh? Keireer reports she's really chill, and really really sleepy. Wait, hold on, did she say in the lake? That's not a safe place to sleep! ...Keireer insists it's probably fine.

I: Daatra's House.
Would Daatra help you out, or make fun of you? Only one way to find out.

D/h, and you have to do I later!

She doesn't know many guy friends? Well we have to save them last for our slow escalating order of clothes exploding
Primary D, secondary F

...Are we going to meet everyone here eventually? You should pose that ask to Keireer.

...what the hell is at the book club being described, a face stealer???
D or I

>yinglet
Oh hon, you don't want what it has.

F

I. Lets meet alternate universe Daatra and see what shes like.

Alt universe Daatra is a bird right? I bet shes a bird

Secondary D

D, b
Come on, you've gotta be a little curious about the multi creature lady, and the dragon fan club. You'll both be passionate about dragons!
And a male friend is gonna be essential at some point too.
Thank Keireer for being patient and a good friend

B then A

Rip the bandaid now, G B.

See a guy! Or your coolest friend! B or I

Primary H, secondary I.
Your water dragon nature compels you to hang out in the lake too! And swimwear is bound to definitely not cause any problems for you there!

H/f
Being close to the water gives us a handy way to douse our clothes without revealing we are a dragon! And a handy escape route if we find we are surrounded with too many friends.

>>1090224
>Daatra formed a sisterly bond with Ceri
But does she also know that you're a dragon?

B - Is he a strong musician to be at the gym?
H - Meet more birds!

*insert "Standing here I realize" meme here*

>>1090225
A. I'm really curious about the gator lady.

g. Relaxing at the spa might help prepare you to meet new people.

G sounds like the most exciting option, you're ready for extra more excitement right?

And if you learn all the Dragon fans you'll know who to be inconspicuous around!

Gym bird thing or bird in the water. B, H

B, C. flirt birds

H then B

C I

Primary A, park. Gator lady might be nice to meet up with. You're a "lizard" lady who's too into clothes thanks to mammal upbringing, and she's a lizard lady who's too new to it. Maybe you could help her understand it better, just as long as you're accepting of her... potentially wearing nothing anyways.

Secondary B, the gym. I mean, romance? That you're assured will be directed away from you??? You can watch it in person!
And maybe learn to be a little more confident of that potentially happening in the future now that Mom got that idea...

>>1090244
>*insert "Standing here I realize" meme here*
Dragonscales, son!

Go to the spa, that sounds relaxing, and calm, and low on social pressure, and people definitely do not frequently disrobe around others at spas, no sirree.

G,D a makeover to build confidence, and if any nudity shenanigans lead to an embarrassed explosion the dragon fans will be right next door!

B or C, or anything with more birds!

G, d

Yinglet hype

Ed
Always bet on bird. Failing that, you're already going past your comfort points. Might as well tackle the biggest task on the list. The word one..

B, h

H, B for more bird

Oh man, how could we pass up the chance to accidentally get exposed to the mythical beansossig? And a fellow bookworm, no less!
F/g

G
e

E, B

F, H

H, A! You're gonna be so cool to someone who's sleepy, she won't be paying attention.

Primary H
Secondary C

D sounds fun and totally not mortifying!

G Ok I'll admit I just like yinglets.

Kigavi! It's been so long since I've seen a kigavi.

But the dragon club and its multi- person can also give us so many new friends!

F/D

F, because kigavi sound vaguely cool
H, because sleeping in the lake sounds cool, WITH A SWIMSUIT OF COURSE, you would explode otherwise!
