Need to fix my theme AGAIN because I keep forgetting the code for this blog...

[amancanfly]

Henry Cavill behind the scene of Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel.

"Tell me, at what point do you think an illusion becomes truth? How do you know we are truely sitting here, sharing tea? How do you know you are even here at all? Perhaps I am the illusion… perhaps this room is. Or, perhaps there is no illusion at all…"

[crimsonwarlock]

"I don’t think any illusion can become true because illusions are lies. I might be wrong, though. You should totally tell me what you think," random handsome man. Billy didn’t know who he was, but he could stare at him all day.

[illusionandscales]

"Is that so? Allow me to educate you. You see, an illusions power comes not from the caster, but from those afflicted. If you understand that a wall summoned by illusions is, in fact, an illusion then it holds no power. But if you are unaware, if you perceive yet another wall... Well, there you have it. It will be a wall. Just as I sit here, you perceive the man before you... you trust that your eyes are not lying to you."

[illusionandscales]

"Perhaps. I have some degree of interest in your ventures."

[nefariouslywhitney]

My ventures? Okay, and what might those be?

[illusionandscales]

"To be frank, anything that produces cold hard cash."

danewhitman is in a dragons lair

[illusionandscales]

"Hm… I see…"

Drake moved towards the door, which lead to the main house and out of the caverns. “Come, then. I will make you some tea and send you on your way. I do not wish to be rude, but trouble tends to follow in the wake of all those who take your mantle. I want nothing but to live in peace… your presence will no doubt lead to a disturbance.”

[danewhitman]

Oh good, tea with a dragon. This’ll be a story to write home about. If he doesn’t get eaten. “Fair enough.” Dane steps up to follow after him—still wary, but willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. “If it makes you feel better, I don’t always manage to cause a disturbance.” Awkward laugh, and Dane’s trying to lighten the mood. Granted, he’s joking with a dragon that he’s seen first-hand in combat. Might not be the best idea.

[illusionandscales]

Drake stopped for a moment and turned to Dane. "Don't make jokes. You aren't funny." Turning back to the stairs, he started walking again. This time with a slight grin. "And you needn't be so nervous. Just because I am a dragon, and you a knight, does not mean we must be in conflict. Let us be civil and behave as gentlemen."

[illusionandscales]

"Tell me, at what point do you think an illusion becomes truth? How do you know we are truely sitting here, sharing tea? How do you know you are even here at all? Perhaps I am the illusion... perhaps this room is. Or, perhaps there is no illusion at all..."

[illusionandscales]

"Amusing. But if you insist, so be it."

[nefariouslywhitney]

So is there something you want, oh unpronounceable one?

[illusionandscales]

"Perhaps. I have some degree of interest in your ventures."

callmemasterloki is in a dragons lair

“Begone, enemy. The miniscule frost giant will not be tolerated here!”

[mischievousliarloki-blog]

If there was one thing he had always hated, whether it be because of his icy nature or because of the obvious dying part, Loki had always despised fire. So he actually took a step back to take cover behind a column.

[illusionandscales]

"Do not think you can hide from me, Godling!" His skin began to shimmer, his body warping until he was in the form of a human. "Come out and face me, if you dare. One master of illusions to another. I desire no battle, Trickster, but I'll not abide your pressence in my home."

084connordean wants investment advice

[illusionandscales]

"I am certain it is."

"Now, is there anything else I can do to assist you?" With a smile he stood, taking Connor’s hand and giving it a firm shake.

[084-connordean]

Connor looked him in the eye for a long moment before shaking his head. He smiled.

"No, I think I’m good. Thank you, Mr. Drake."

[illusionandscales]

"Very well. I hope to hear from you again, soon."

[illusionandscales]

"Your under evolved vocal cords could never hope to utter my name. But, you may call me Drake."

[nefariouslywhitney]

Wow, you sure know how to compliment a lady.

You can call me Madame, Drake.

[illusionandscales]

"Amusing. But if you insist, so be it."

[illusionandscales]

"One who is beyond your power. But I am a merciful being and will allow you to apologize for your rude behavior."

[nefariouslywhitney]

You didn’t answer my question, though. I think that’s a little rude.

You got a name?

[illusionandscales]

"Your under evolved vocal cords could never hope to utter my name. But, you may call me Drake."

084connordean wants investment advice

[illusionandscales]

"Let us begin…"

Some time later, when Drake was satisfied that he had helped his new client create a sufficient investment, he started printing off the files. “I believe everything is in order… I will be sure to give you regular updates, and I recommend you watch the market yourself as well. I am merely an advisor. Your money is yours, and I will move it as you see fit.”

[084-connordean]

"I’ll keep an eye out. I’m rather observant," Connor said, standing to his feet. He held out his hand to the investor. "I am trusting you, though, Mr. Drake. Hopefully, this is the start of a good friendship."

[illusionandscales]

"I am certain it is."

"Now, is there anything else I can do to assist you?" With a smile he stood, taking Connor's hand and giving it a firm shake.

[nefariouslywhitney]

And who are you supposed to be?

[illusionandscales]

"One who is beyond your power. But I am a merciful being and will allow you to apologize for your rude behavior."

[illusionandscales]

084connordean wants investment advice

[illusionandscales]

"Be an investment agent, you mean? Not in so many words, no. But I did always enjoy numbers and valuables…"

[084-connordean]

Connor nodded, taking a seat.

"At least some people are born with that skill. I wasn’t one for numbers and stuff like that."

[illusionandscales]

"Let us begin..."

Some time later, when Drake was satisfied that he had helped his new client create a sufficient investment, he started printing off the files. "I believe everything is in order... I will be sure to give you regular updates, and I recommend you watch the market yourself as well. I am merely an advisor. Your money is yours, and I will move it as you see fit."

cosplayinghacker meets a dragon

"Hello, little one. This is... unexpected."

[illusionandscales]

captstarsnstripes meets a dragon

"I hope you will pardon my rudeness... but I have no need of Avengers here. Your presence is neither needed or welcomed. But... so long as you are here... I will at least offer you some measure of hospitality..."

[illusionandscales]

084connordean wants investment advice

[illusionandscales]

He motioned to his office, “then let us begin.”

[084-connordean]

Connor nodded, stepping into the office.

"You always wanted to do this?"

[illusionandscales]

"Be an investment agent, you mean? Not in so many words, no. But I did always enjoy numbers and valuables..."
