[Because, it is only fair to give fair warning to the new people that have arrived about his presence, is it not? Perhaps some of them will be rather pleasant and would make good company. So here you go Death City, and more importantly you knew inhabitants, you are now seeing video of a considerably-sized dragon in his apartment, tail languidly swishing from side to side.]

To all the new residents of Death City, greetings.

By now I trust that you all know what role you are able to take should worst come to worst, which is a very real threat in this world. It might seem a far-off threat, but those of us that have lived here for a considerable amount of time know that it is still very, very real.

If you have not jumped back or turned your off for fear of me, then I commend you. My name is Temeraire, and while I may be a dragon, it does not mean that I will randomly attack any one person in this city.

I am a part of the Watch which means that I am here to protect everyone in my patrol area, so rest assured that I will never mean you any sort of harm... for the most part.

If you have any questions, I would be glad to answer them to the best of my abilities. Until then, I hope that you will make the best of your circumstances while you are here.

[He lifts up his neck to take a look around the room. That tail in the air is swishing from side to side as if to test how far it can go for a moment.]

With how small I've become ever since coming here, I would have to say that while yes, I do have to mind my bulk, I am rather comfortable in my apartment, young miss.

I'm just surprised to see a mythical creature living such a domestic lifestyle.

So BREW shrank you before you arrived here then? No doubt because they wanted to keep you at a manageable size where you wouldn't pose as much of a threat if you went against them.

We dragons might be a part of myth and lore in other worlds, but I assure you, where I am from we are a very real existence to everyone in the world.

It did, but I can only surmise that it was more due to my normal considerable size. I would not have been able to fit anywhere inside the city, save for the park perhaps, or the steps in front of Shibusen, which I would not imagine to be a good thing.

Well, you did add in that, "for the most part" there. Still, I'm surprised BREW would summon dragons as well knowing that it would have to correct such inconveniences, not to mention if it did want to summon such an imposing creature it would have been better to allow you to keep your powers.

And it was even able to change your physiology by giving you the capability of being either a Meister or a Weapon. Their magic overall isn't as impressive here, but this BREW is definitely interesting.

I can still fly, and I am stronger than any human in this city due to my bulk and claws. Aside from that, who says I have not kept my natural powers?

[Is he purposefully leaving something out from that last comment? Hell yeah.]

I am a weapon. A Chinese longsword to be exact. I do not know about whether or not one is supposed to be impressed about BREW's abilities, but I do concede that it is rather interesting.

Supposedly they're "unusable" here, though given the absence of my thaumaturgical crest and magic circuits entirely it's obvious they were taken instead. I guess you could argue that it may be different for species other than humans, but this place does seem pretty strict in imposing its own standards, even if it doesn't even remotely make sense to do so. Otherwise they would have a much stronger army.

Perhaps that is more BREW's doing than their own. Not to mention that normal and conventional weapons seem to be of little use against the witches, when compared to living weapons like myself and other human weapons, when paired up with a meister.

As for my own abilities, I do not know. Perhaps because you are talking about technology by these "circuits" that you have mentioned? I do not know, but it is something to consider.

No, not technology; magic. I can see why normal weapons would be one thing, but I would think that being a magus my magic would be just as effective against the witches as theirs.

Re: [video]

Then would that not have made you a witch yourself, if you practice magic in this world?

Perhaps BREW took precautions when it concerns people that have abilities like yours?

[Certainly, it is something to think about.]

The ability to be either a Meister or a Weapon, as well as BREW itself, is all magic as well, granted the former channels magical ability differently. I can't say I know just what sort of magic the witches here practice, but I would think that theirs would be different from magecraft if what they study really is witchcraft in the truest sense of the word. Well, either way, the fact that they're able to use their magic in such a way means that my magic isn't in fact "unusable" after all.

I'll admit I would like to take a look at BREW for myself, especially since it bears a lot of resemblance to a similar device in my world.
