[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.]

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!]

[babylonmechanic]

[Hmm... There could be uses for being able to change forms like that... Disguises for starters. She'd have to keep that in mind...]

Hm. Good to know.

[blazebottom]

[Riwane nodded and smiled.]

The stuff people can do in this place are pretty amazin'. I even met sumone that lives in the network and can come an' go as they please, even pop out of screens an' stuff.

An' that's jus' the tip a the iceberg.

[babylonmechanic]

Hmph. I've seen enough strange things myself. Super powers don't surprise me so much.

[Hell, the Babylon Rogues were descended from alien genies. But Riwane didn't need to know that.]

[blazebottom]

Good then, yer gunna fit rite in! [Riwane smiled and gave her a thumbs up.]

It's usually tha people who aren't used ta things like that that worry me an' I try ta help em out as much as I can. It can be jarrin' at times especially when things go awry.

[Which happened more often than she'd like.]

[babylonmechanic]

Well don't waste too much time worrying about me.

[Wave hopped onto her bed, kicking up her legs and crossing her arms behind her head.]

I can more than take care of myself. So don't bug me, and we'll get along just fine. Deal?

[blazebottom]

Fair 'nuff. [Riwane shrugged. If her roomie wanted space, she'd give her space.]

[She went back to doing her thing, finishing up putting up her things and packing the extras while cleaning up.]
