ive been having a rough past couple of months. i figured, if i can't be happy, at least let others be, right?
do a short little roleplay response to my prompt and you'll get a little gift sent your way! who knows, maybe if your characters suits Geruit's fancy, you'll get something big. if you have a preference, be sure to hint it in your response.
be respectful! this is mainly to have fun. give me some time to get through all of them.

[i]You don't recall what happened before you awoke between the gnarly roots of a decaying Oak tree. You grumble and sit up, dusting off your hands on your legs.
You attempt to stand before realizing your legs are half sunken in swamp juice. You grimace, and attempt to free your limbs to no avail.
After what feels like hours of slowly sinking further into the mud, a dark shape moves along the treetops. A few more skitters and it was hanging from a tree branch from above you.[/i]

[b]"Oh... hello little one! It appears that you are in the utmost danger. Would you like some help?"[/b]
Before you could respond, his nimble and long claws already grabbed hold of your nape and pulls you from the earthy cauldron.
It takes the serpent-like creature a mere few minutes to bring you and himself to the base of a large tree, where a humble door stood in its trunk.
[b]"Stay right here!"[/b]
He chirps and runs inside to return at rapid speeds with two wooden stools and the rustiest tea set you've ever seen.
He pours you a cup of what appears to be green tea. You take the cup from him hesitantly. The boa wrapped around his tail appears to be pleased with your behavior.
[b]"No need for introductions. I'm Geruit. You woke up in my domain for a reason."[/b]
You raise your eyebrow but say nothing.
He sets down his cup. It's silent. You look up briefly to catch his red eyes. They're empty and sad. It's as if the next few words he's about to speak has become his only life purpose.

"I am the Witch of Greed. What is that you desire?"
[center] Desire. Well that was quite the finicky thing indeed wasn’t it? Greed. Gold and jewels were often what was first thought of when a dragon was asked of their own desires. Hoards of treasure, items and vast surpluses of extravagant attire. But Kryptos had fallen down that path before, a mirror dragon cursed with the desire to wreak havoc and death across the Tangled Woods.
But after meeting Saviour? Well, the mage certainly changed his life for the better. A spell gave him hope, and now traveling down the path of a healer, well what did he desire now?
He had love, a life, and [i]many[/i] children to spoil.
“Happiness. I would give as much as I could to help others smile. Bring them as much cheer as the smile on my partner’s face gives me,” he said, warm purple eyes creased as he smiled fondly. [/center]

Sardonica frowned thoughtfully as she readjusted her mask and tapped her chin in thought. "I would like empathy to better treat my patients"

Likan looks up at Geruit, his whole body covered in mud.
"A witch of Greed you say?" he says, doing his best to get the offending muck off of him as quickly as possible, "depending on what that means that sounds like either a lot of fun or a lot of trouble...is it like being a genie? I bet you get a lot of weird request." He continues to pick mud off of his wings and apparel, chattering away like only a small dragon can.
He stops for a minute and looks at Geruit thoughtfully, "maybe you're like me and help your lair find things that they're searching for. I'm the keeper of my lair's wishlist, so I'm always looking for interesting and rare things. Granted, it's usually not this messy."

[center]Erebus's mind was immediately filled with thoughts of riches and trinkets he could ask for, and he had to let out a small gasp of excitement. Flowers! Clothes! Pets! But after thinking it through, he calmed himself down. His mate Nyx would bring him all those things and anything else he could ever ask for.
"I want something for Nyx," he blurted out, but it was only after he said that that he realized he didn't know what she would want. "She's really fancy! And she likes sharp pointy things. She wears glasses. Um..."
"... she needs a hat?"

Those empty sad eyes remind you too much of your own thought lately so you fix your eyes instead on the little snake companion. He seems to be a fine distraction. "Oh my desires are just like everyone else's," you tell the strange dragon while watching the snake wind it's way around it's owner. "A safe home to call my own and to see my friends now and again."
"Do you not have a grand lair fit for the Icewarden himself? "
"Well, you see we just want to have a party and see our friends who travel. It's hard you know? To be so far apart."

What do I desire they ask. Peacock knew what everyone would expect him to say. That would look at him and assume that he would wan to be beautiful, to be like the rest of the clan. No one really knew him though. He wasn’t your typical dragon, constantly vain and concerned about what they looked like. He looked back up at this witch of greed before him. The spiral’s large red eyes bore into him, seeming to stare into his soul.
“Did you hear me dragon?” The spiral asked. “Yes,” Peacock responded. “Im thinking” The spiral looked at him sharply and Peacock knew what he meant, that he needed to hurry or this chance would be passed by. Peacock sighed and opened his mouth to say what he ‘desired’ “I desire life. To live my life to my fullest and discover who I am in this life.” The spiral nodded and settled down on the tree. “Very good dragon, you understand greed and it’s potential for bad. Because of this you get a gift from me.”
**Thanks for doing this!!! I’d love any gene so you have other than peacock**

[center]Lesion only stared blankly into his cup. His mind was lost in thought for some time before he realized the witch was speaking to him. His brow furrowed apologetically and he stammered over his words in reply.
“O...oh I’m terribly sorry, I just...I just struggle sometimes to...
What did you say?”
He remembered the question before Geruit had time to answer and continued on as if the conversation had never been halted.
“I know what I would want. I can’t imagine you can give it to me though...” he nervously chuckled and kept his head low to avoid making eye contact.
“You see, I have this problem...” the chuckling grew louder, and though he smiled his anxiety was evident.
“There’s this...[i]voice...[/i]” his claw began tapping his cup rapidly as if in rhythm with his accelerating heartbeat. “I don’t know where it came from or why it’s in my head. They told me I’m just crazy ehehe!!” a hollow laugh erupted from his twitching face and his eyes flared with instability.
“They don’t understand though.” On a dime, his expression changed to one of grave seriousness. “I know the voice lies to me. I know it. It tells me to do things. It says horrible things will happen if I don’t do them.” He chuckled again despite the nature of his comment being terribly grim.
“[i]I know it lies...[/i]but I listen anyway. It screams if I don’t.” Another inappropriate laugh interrupted his sentence as he began putting the cup down and picking it up again repeatedly. “Stepping stepping stepping stepping stepping stepping ahahah!” He rolled his head back and forth and laughed while repeating this mantra over and over again. “And I do it! I keep stepping. I obey the voice...” he fiddled with the blood soaked bandages tied around his arms, revealing flashes of his raw feet.
His laughter ceased and his face fell somber as if drained of all energy.
“I’m so tired...” though his face was still, his eyes quivered as if barely keeping his thoughts contained within. There was no evidence of sadness on his face to explain the tear that rolled down his snout.
“I desire...[i]I desire silence[/i].”

He stood slowly, feeling creeping back into his legs. He listened to the Witch of Greed as he tried to remove the viscous swamp juice.
"Ah. You're one of those. May the Gods turn their eye from you. And though you didn't ask, I'm Kozmos." He pointed his head where the voice who saved him must have been standing. He takes the tea and sips it gingerly.
"Well, I suppose right now I wish to find the path again. I've fallen, you see. I'm not of this world. I want to go back home. Don't ask me how I fell, I just was here. Not '[i]here[/i]' here, but back on Sornieth. It must have been one of the Broken Gods. One of them must have cast ne down. But, why?"
He paused and gave another sip. "But you wouldn't care to hear about me. A Twisted Angel."

Though the coatl's eyes danced with a youthful innocence, his smooth voice gave way to a wistful tone as he gazed upon the benevolent spiral in front of him. It wasn't the first time he'd been caught in such a predicament, but he'd been glad this strange dragon had been there to aid him nonetheless.

[b] "Witch of Greed, you say?" [/b]
A curious expression unfolded on his features, brows furrowing. This spiral could grant him anything he desired? His head cocked in an almost childish manner, a fitting reaction for his youthful physique. Thoughts spiraled through his mind, seemingly forgetting everything he could possibly desire in this moment.
[b] "It's awfully kind of you, to grant a stranger anything his heart desires. Almost seems as if it should be the other way around, frankly. I should be indebted to you. [/b]
He gazed thoughtfully at the spiral for a few more moments, considering the fact that there could be some strings attached to this offer. But then he gave a tiny shake of his head, as though forcefully removing his suspicions.
[b] "I'd simply like to ask for an alliance. A promise that you'll be able to help me and my clan if we ever do need it. And in turn, I can assure you we'll have your back in times of need." [/b]
A gentle smile curled at the corners of his mouth, finishing the last of the refreshing beverage and rasping his tongue over his maw. A wave of tranquility and serenity washed over him, suddenly feeling at peace with himself.
