[Action] Enter the sandstorm.

[In the morning when Blue wakes up, Acacia lets herself out of her ball to greet her momma before the day starts. Normally, she'd go out for a bit to get some fresh air and stretch her legs before returning to the room to relax. However, today shall be a different day. A break in the cycle, if you will.

The Sandslash has been getting a little restless in her ball for some time now and finally decides that today is the day she is going to take up a human form. So, wanting to surprise her momma and little bro, she sneakily approaches the crazy headmaster to enroll as a student and acquire a transformation accessory. And, tempting as it is to make a grand and showy announcement of her presence over the network, the Sandslash decides she'd rather personally greet everybody and surprise her family and friends in the flesh. That would create a better, lasting impact, she believes. So, here you have a spiky brown haired girl roaming about the campus looking for her family and aiming to strike up a conversation with anyone interesting.

Will you unfortunately be within sight of Acacia? Approach her? Avoid her?]
voltecpower: Pulse is in his usual high-strung state. (nervous)

[Pokemon humanization was still a weird subject to him... Having been introduced to both that and the concept of pokemon in general at the same time, he naturally thought that any pokemon anywhere was capable of turning into a human at any moment, which was why he always tried to maintain care when interacting with pokemon in the wild (the Scyther incident notwithstanding). He knew pokemon typically carried over some characteristics when they became human, but then, perhaps some chose to remain looking more like their original selves, while others preferred to look as human as possible. ...He could relate to that, somehow. He wondered, perhaps, if there was similar technology that would allow him to be more than 50% human.]

No, not unless... well... It's really sensitive, and... I'm not certain if I would have been able to keep from doing so, if you, uh, persisted.

[The mere speculation that he might have shocked her, disturbing as it may be, helped to calm him down somewhat. Not that he wanted to hurt her, of course. Still, he didn't feel entirely powerless anymore.]

voltecpower: Pulse is visibly confused. (confused)

Oh, no ma'am, not an aahahaha.

[Mark down "getting poked in the cheek" as one sensation Pulse was most certainly not overly familiar with. Well, at least not by anyone other than himself, nor so unexpectedly. It definitely caught him off-guard, causing his speech to break up in a humorless defensive laugh as he worked on coming to terms with the fact that the lady was touching his face. Perhaps she was just a hands-on kind of person. Some people are like that. Not everyone can just feel stuff out with an innate electrical aura, of course. He reached up with one hand in a half-hearted gesture of brushing her hand away.]

I'm an electrace. Half human and half C-Life. ...C-Life being an advanced creative artificial intelligence. Nothing mechanical, though.

[He had some experience with people assuming he was talking about fish whenever he mentioned "C-Life" anywhere outside of his homeworld.]

And, uh, yeah, that's my only... exposed skin, I guess.
