Dragon on Deck! [action OR prose]
[if you are awake at this hour of the night, you are going to see something really awesome... or really scary, depending on how you look at things. there's a huge red dragon flying close to the ship. It swoops around, darts up high into the sky, then back near the water. it goes forward and comes back... no matter where it goes, the dragon always returns to the ship's side.
most of you are probably wondering what this beast is doing. it can't be here to kill you, right? most of you are already dead. BUT WHO KNOWS. it could be hungry! it could just want to make trouble. or maybe it just wants to tak along.
actually, this dragon is a very restless inmate, one who's tried to keep his secret under wraps so he wouldn't scare the humans. but even his magic cannot last for a week. even he needs to stretch his wings. he won't harm you. in fact, he'll probably ignore you unless you try to hurt him.
if you're his warden, poor you. you get to explain to everyone what the hell is going on]

Which would have made for a brilliant exit had he not forgotten which way he was facing.
It feels like forever when he realises that there is no wood beneath his feet, just empty air, but it's really only a second before he falls. Apparently there is gravity in the afterlife, as the loud SPLASH! just moments later can attest to.
Fuck. His. Life.
Afterlife.
Whatever.
Just. Fuck.
At least he knows how to swim.

And then remembers he can't swim.
Bloody brilliant, this plan is.

"I don't suppose you can take off from the water, can you?"

He doesn't answer Prussia because he's starting to change back. Moments later, Arthur is a full dragon again, and he's taking to the skies with Prussia on his back. So you said you wanted a ride...
no subject
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
HE IS ON A DRAGON.
LOOK AT HIM MOTHERFUCKERS YOU MIGHT BE ON A BOAT BUT HE IS ON A DRAGON.
Prussia can't help the surprised and kind of happy whoop he lets out, even though he is cold and wet and shivering. Okay, Arthur, he forgives you for being a stupid ass because this is so awesome you are awesome let him hug you~
(Which isn't very easy considering that Arthur's dragon form is huge. And okay, he also is clinging a little so he doesn't slip off the wet scales.)

So, for now, he's just going to fly slowly, gently flap his wings so as not to jostle his passenger. He only got to take Gilbert and the others for a fly briefly, and it wasn't a joyride. Thinking about it makes him sad. He misses the Chosen desperately.
"..."
no subject
Maybe he'll apologise. Though he'd much rather Arthur apologise first!

"A fire dragon," he replies softly, stretching out his wings so that they can hover. They're far from the ship now, but England doesn't feel like turning around just yet. Ah, Prussia called him Arthur. "My power comes from heat."
no subject
"Huh, guess that explains why you can't swim." A pause. "Why'd you jump in after me, though? I did kinda insult you pretty bad. If I were you I'd'a let me drown." Wait. Can you even drown in the afterlife? That would kind of suck, wouldn't it. Dying when you're dead. Recursive deadness. His brain hurts thinking about it.
