[Accidental Video] - OTA, action welcome

[transitioner]

[A random camera - probably from someone's abandoned comm drone - flickers on at registering movement somewhere close in front of it. There's a wide, if empty, street visible. And a rainbow ending in a deep, golden kettle of . . . what appear to be tiny stones in a multitude of colors. But what caught the drone's attention?]

[Possibly the thick, black mist that's flowing across the ground. The mist pauses, gathering on itself as it comes close to the pot. Then it condenses further, rising up vertically as it solidifies into a familiar, if for many very unwelcome sight - a very tall, impossibly thin figure wrapped in a flowing black robe, face hidden in the depths of the hood.]

The figure crouches down on its heels and extends a long arm, a skeletal hand of long fingers coming into view as it reaches into the pot. Gingerly, it pinches one of the "stones" between the boney tips of thumb and forefinger, lifting the pebble up for better viewing. The figure turns the pebble this way and that, and then . . . the fingers reach shallowly into the hood, coming away empty. Did he/she/it just...EAT that thing? It would seem so, the head tilting slightly as the figure seems to decide what it things of the pebble.]

[Apparently, it likes it, as next comes out what must be a pouch of some kind, formed of smokey blackness. A boney hand scoops a generous helping of pebbles into the pouch. Then it stands, and casually starts to walk off, popping another pebble into its unseen mouth.]

WHAT IN TIAMAT'S NAME IS THIS NONSENSE!?

[Oops, someone found a great big pot full of gold! ......................gold-foil-covered chocolate coins, that is.]

[The dragon glares at the pot a moment longer . . . then figures what the hell and starts eating.  Hey, even dragons like chocolate! And, remove the foil first? HELL NO, metal's good for digestion, even in such thin, pathetic amounts.]

[Video] Well, he's already wearing the green... X3

[When Jadewing had woken up to the numerous rainbows in the skies of Haven, he knew instantly that they weren't natural. For one thing, he doubted that there was enough moisture in the air around the city to produce such a vivid rainbow. And for another, natural rainbows simply didn't occur in bunches like this. Nor did they reach all the way to the ground.

On one hand he was mildly irritated. The skies were a Seeker's domain and the fact that the miasma's latest trick intruded on that offended him on principle. But on the other, he was sort of amused. The whole thing seemed harmless enough. Even pleasant. He knew that could change of course, but for now, the skies above the city were a lot more colorful.

And didn't humans have some sort of myth about the ends of rainbows? On a whim, he'd followed the nearest one to its ending point coming in for an easy landing. As it turned out there actually was something there. Go figure. Though when he saw what it was, he couldn't help but laugh.

Which brings us up to the present, and Jadewing's visage appearing on the drones of any who care to tune in.]

Well, what do you know. The whole 'gold at the end of the rainbow' thing wasn't just a bunch of slag after all. Though somehow I doubt this is what the humans had in mind.

[Jadewing holds up the Cybertronian scaled large, black pot he'd found and sure enough, it's filled with gold. Gold paint, that is. In buckets, spray cans, artist's tubes... heck it even looks like there's a few kiddie paint sets in there.]

Does anybody want some of this stuff? I've got no use for this much gold paint, even if I wanted to make myself look like I'd taken a dip in electrum.
