[Boxes and bags and a slight mess can be seein in the background when the feed cuts in. A light, cheery tune can be heard in the distance before it stops when a possibly familiar face plops on the chair in front of the feed and wipes their forehead.]

Hey ya'll! Sorry I didn' take the time ta say I was on my way back, but hey, what better way than now during unpackin'?! Got a new room this time 'round tho we all know how them dorms like switchin' it up on us erry now an' then. So, for now, if you wana come on down an' say hello, feel free ta pass by BW eight!

Especially those folk who know I always want ta know if they're okay and fine. Don't make me come to yer rooms now y'hear?

[She smiled and blew a kiss at the camera.]

I'm glad to be back~

[And with a wave, she cuts the video. Still marked as online if anyone wants to chat, audio, video and what have you. Or you can pass by the room! In any case, she seemed as welcoming as always. Hello, you were all missed.]

[Sorry Wave, but you got a social roommate now!]

Sorta, lotsa them are gifts I brought fer friends, or produce from the farm I brought fer the kitchen. Y'can have sum if you'd like! Lots of nice fresh veggies an' fruits.

[babylonmechanic]

Farm, huh? I'd have never guessed.

[Well. If she had to share the room with the girl, best not to antagonize her... yet.]

Well. At least it smells good enough.

[blazebottom]

Darn skippy it does! Love the smell of good food, though I prefer meats m'self but can't say no to a good melon.

[She wiped her brow and sat down.]

So, yer here fer school or staff?

[babylonmechanic]

I'm sharing a room with you, aren't I? I'm a student. Part time security.

[blazebottom]

Ah, well yeah. But there's been staff livin' in the dorms before too. Non-students too!

[babylonmechanic]

And when was the last time staff shared a dorm room with a student, hm? That common?

[blazebottom]

Hm, I think two a' them were. Though I dun think it's terribly common.

[babylonmechanic]

...Huh. Gotta look into that. That's pretty dang weird.

Anyway, no, I'm a student working part time in security. I'm assuming you're just a student.

[blazebottom]

Y'got that rite! Been here fur a while but it's been a fun run.

What grade y'studyin'?

[babylonmechanic]

Obviously not, since you weren't here when I arrived. Where have you been, hm? Skipping classes?

I just started this stupid school. But I'm taking college classes.

[blazebottom]

[Riwane blinked a few times before she shook her head.]

No I mean, this ain't the first time I've been 'ere. I jus' went back home after I finished with High School ta help 'round. Jus' came back ta start college.

[babylonmechanic]

Is that so? Then maybe you can answer something for me...

Why would anyone actually go here WILLINGLY? What's so great about it?

[blazebottom]

Erryone's here fur different reasons I reckon. I myself came here ta learn an' go out into new places. Now I stay cuz of the people I've grown with. There's an amazin' amount of great beings that live here an' I've met friends, partners an' family througout my stay.

Can't say I'd trade it fur nothin' rite 'bout now. Even with all the nutty stuff that happens often.

[babylonmechanic]

Do you think you actually got anything out of this place as a school? I've been here about a month now, and so far all that's happened to me is I got turned blue for a day by a disembodied floating hand.

[blazebottom]

[Riwane thought for a few moments before smiling. She took a seat before continuing.]

Honestly? Yeah.

I mean, I know that sumtimes this place gits its fair share a' geniuses. [She knew a handful and had heard of even more around.] But I'm jus' a simple farm gal, hell, e'en fore that I was jus' a wee Charmander. Comin' here has really taught me a lot of things I woulda ne'er even dream of. An' the opportunity ta interact with them other humanoids more normally without hopin' they can understand my char-speak? That alone made me love this here place more'n I ever woulda thought.

[babylonmechanic]

[Something about Riwane's explanation didn't sit with Wave, and it took her a few moments to pinpoint it. Finally...]

"Humanoids"? What are you talking about?

[blazebottom]

Y'know, humanoids, like humans an' those with similar qualities. [Granted, there were some pokemon who could qualify as or close to it as far as the definition went, but she couldn't quite find one that would be equal in those specific terminologies.]

S'somethin' I learned when I got here. Was when I first was able ta take this form!

[babylonmechanic]

You can't just change shape like that, that makes no sense. What are you SUPPOSED to be?

[hometownchargal]

Sure y'can! I'm a Charizard, like I wus sayin' earlier.

Here, look.

[Riwane gave her a bright smile before poof! Firetailed dragon appeared.]

[babylonmechanic]

What...! How the heck did you do that?!

[blazebottom]

[Riwane poofed back to the girl that was there previously and chuckled a little.]

They taught me how ta when I arrived. The Hands I mean. It makes it easier for critters like us ta attend an' such. It's pretty nifty, s'far as I know, even machines an' other beings can use it. But dun' ask me 'bout them hows or whys cause I'm not all too savvy in them technical terms.

[babylonmechanic]

But... how?! Unless the laws of conservation of mass have been repealed, you can't just turn from a giant dragon into a human girl without losing all that mass! And how do you even control a transformation that takes place so quickly?!

[She was having a very hard time understanding or accepting what she just saw...]

[blazebottom]

[Riwane shrugged, crossing her arms.]

Honestly I wouldn't be able ta tell ya. It jus' happens an' ever since I learned how ta it's become natural fur me. Jus' come an' go when it's convenient!

Maybe you could ask the Hands?

[babylonmechanic]

[Wave thought for another moment. The possibilities that this presented... Well, she'd be lying if she said they didn't hold some interest.]

...Does it work for any non-human?

[blazebottom]

S'far as I know, eyup!

We even had sum robots who could too!

[Some didn't want to which was fine, they were happy that way!]
