Tyler nodded and tried the ring on. It didn't fit any of his fingers very well, so he shrugged and put it in his pocket.

"Dude, just let me warm up! Cuteness Incarnate," She yelled to Jantra, "Tell Hot Pants to give me some fire like Prometheus!"
"Cuteness Incarnate, eh? I suppose that works. " Jantra said with a chuckle. He stopped to examine Ribbon again. She seemed healthy now, she just needed time to wake up.
Jantra stood up and was suddenly right next to Maria. "Here." He said, extending his open hand to her. A small flame suddenly appeared in it. "Not nearly as hot as Fahrenheit could manage, but it should help" Jantra moved his hand away, but the flame stood burning in mid air where he left it, even without fuel.

"Oh, thank The Ring of Gods!" Maria took the fire and un-attached herself from Tyler. Not without sticking her tongue out at him first.
"So now we're just waiting for either Grant or the girl to wake up? That's rather boring. I think I'll go out for a bit. Look around, do some flying, maybe find something new to kill me. Exciting!" Jantra said to nobody in particular. "One of you can just shoot a flare or something if you need me." Jantra said before walking up the stairs right after Tyler.
He suddenly stopped halfway up the stairs. "The giant dragon in the sky will be me, if anyone is wondering. No reason to panic." Jantra vanished, and not long after the sound of giant wings flapping filled the town as Jantra took off. The sound became more distant, and slowly tapered off as the shapeshifter flew above the clouds. Occasionally, the black dragon would be barely noticeable in the night sky as the clouds moved.

When Ribbon woke up the first time, there was giant cat rubbing her tummy.
This is a Surrealist dream, she decided. Cats don't rub peoples' tummies. People rub cats' tummies. The notion was so profoundly artistic that Ribbon decided she must have seen a painting or something depicting a similar scene, and that she'd been thinking about it when she passed out from shock earlier. Oh, yeah, there was still that spike in her middle in the waking world. Ribbon didn't really feel like waking up any time soon.
Strangely, even though she was dreaming, Ribbon felt tired. Usually she felt wide awake in her dreams. Ribbon closed her eyes and fell - well, I guess double-asleep. Like Inception. Man, Inception was a good movie.
When Ribbon woke up - or double-woke-up, from her perspective - the cat wasn't there, but she was lying in the same position on the floor, her dress pulled all the way up so that her tummy was exposed, and with no sign that there'd been a spike running through her last time she'd been fully conscious. Ribbon thought about this for a second.
"Ah... oh, yeah, we live in a fantasy-universe where everybody has magic powers. That'd explain it."
Ribbon saw that Cool Jack, Maria and Cait were still in the basement with her. "Hey, someone come give me a hand getting up, alright? Don't look at my underwear."

I have seen it all. Everything . Every creature, every stone, every piece building, every tree. I have seen it all, thousands of times before. I have lived countless lives, and ended many more. I can be thousands of different people, and thousands of creatures both common and of legend. I have died in more ways than most men could ever think of. It is all the same
The dragon let out a roar louder than thunder, with enough force to rattle windows in the town several miles away. From the town, some would observe a giant beast in front of the moon seemingly breathing fire at the stars. Some would see it as an act of rage, or an attempt to bring fear... but a few who lay awake this night would swear that they heard pain in that roar, that cry.
The people I met in the cellar... I am beginning to like them. But they are mortals. Like all I have met before, they will die. And I will live on. Alone. For eternity, unless Grant kills me. I still have not found why... why am I here? Why am I at all?
The dragon continued to fly above the forest, without direction. It let out another cry, the pained tone now unmistakable.

"K.O.!" Maria ran over and hugged Ribbon as quickly and gently as she could, "You scared the Helheim out of me! Are you alright? Do you need anything? Blanket? Hankie? No-Doze? This week's Shonen Jump?"
"Man, guys, y'don't all gotta pay me so much attention- hold on a sec," Ribbon said, combat-rolling over to the barber standing at the foot of the staircase and jamming her middle finger up his nose, blasting a fingerful of sleep right up his nasal cavity and into his brain. "Give a girl some time to regain her bearings, alright?"
Ribbon, as much as anybody else, was surprised by how spry she was having just regained her footing. Not even factoring in her recent impaling, Ribbon was usually slow to wake up after having just been asleep. That furry's magic really must've done a number on her.
"Jacky-boy... what can I say, they were right there. You're a man now. Gonna have to hook you up with some John Daniels. Mew-Mew, Grapefruit... y'know, I'm actually not really suffering for the human-popsicle-with-a-popsicle-in-place-of-a-popsicle-stick thing. Did anybody catch what Puss-In-Boots' affinity is? He can shapeshift, heal, I think Snowman mentioned something about fire-powers too..."

A tall woman wearing a suit walked down into the basement. "I hope you realize that the cat is just one of my many forms." she said with a smile. "I just like being a cat." she said before disappearing for a second, Jantra's cat form taking her place.
"My abilities are only those of the form I currently use, plus the teleportation. As for my affinity... I never gave it much thought, actually. Chaos would have fit me before Grant worked his magic to split me in two, but now I'm not quite so evil now. Or maybe..." Jantra stopped mid sentence, interrupted by his own laughter at his idea.
"Cuteness! I have decided that my affinity is cuteness! Maria, you have helped me find my true self!"

Jack rolled his eyes.
Jack reached into his jacket and pulled out a mostly full bottle of his (almost) namesake namesake whiskey, along with two glasses.

I'd put good money on me being older than you. That said...

We may need to chip a few icecubes off Gran's beard first.Jantra appeared at the base of the stairs to catch the barber. He sat the sleeping man down on the floor.
