[You can't really help making an entrance when you're a dragon. It's not like you can quietly sneak in any place. And certainly not when you hadn't expected to be in that place from the get go.
So if you guys heard something rumbling around outside earlier, that was just Angelus crash landing in a way she is never going to admit to ever having landed. Ever. She's old, you know, she knows how to land!

After those shenanigans though? She's helped much like anyone else to register at the school and whatnot. She's even given a dorm room - BW-09, second floor, girl's dorm. She has no trouble finding the building itself but... well.

You folks don't really mind a big ol' eye peeping through windows, right? Particularly poor Eli, once she figures out just which of these rooms is BW-09. What in the heck is she supposed to do with this? :|
For now she's simply settled on top of the building itself, huffing out steam in annoyance now and then. Until she announces in a crisp tone:]

I should have known strange portals were no good. What is the use in all of this?

[And now, she snorts.]

A dragon wearing a human guise? What sort of magic is this feat?

[And what self-respecting dragon would want to be human anyway. You are confusing, Ray.]

And what question would that be, little one.

[skyshaper]

Human transformation. They teach it to the students and teachers here who need it.

[It is hard to be huge and teach in a bitty classroom at the same time, okay?]

Who are you?

[ends_in_ashes]

[She dislikes this idea immensely... sort of. Though she is curious now.]

You may call me 'Red', if you must have a name.

[skyshaper]

Red. Right. What are you doing here?

[ends_in_ashes]

A portal opened within my world and so I traveled through it. When I came here, they registered me for these... 'classes'. Then they directed me here to my 'room'.

[Here she glances to the window that is her 'room'. Fat lot of good it does.]

And so I wait.

[skyshaper]

[A portal? That was something. But not totally unusual, all things considered. He was relaxing a bit now that they were talking more.]

So you're a student now. You're not going to get anywhere waiting.

[ends_in_ashes]

And where would I go if I were not waiting?

[skyshaper]

... I don't know. Where would you go if you weren't here?

[ends_in_ashes]

I would likely be dead, I believe. I am not certain.

[skyshaper]

[................. what is he supposed to say to that. This was not going as planned.]

Oh. Well. Then, forget that.

[ends_in_ashes]

[She huffs in amusement.]

You did not expect such a response, little one?

[skyshaper]

[Amused Huff is super effective! He looks embarrassed!]

N-no. Why would I? It's obvious you're not a Pokemon, but I wouldn't think a dragon like you could die anyway.

[He's making some heavy assumptions, though.]

[ends_in_ashes]

[So amused. She likes this one, he's rather darling. ... In a way that dragons can think something is 'darling'.]

Typically we cannot. My circumstances are unique. Besides, we live and breath, have blood and flesh. Do not your kind - these 'Pokemon' - die as well?

[skyshaper]

[Just don't tell him that!]

Hmm. [And he wont dig.] Most die but come back as Ghost Pokemon. Then there are some that seem to live forever.

[ends_in_ashes]

Such a peculiar species, you Pokemon.

[Again, she huffs. And there's the equivalent of a draconic grin.]

And so small as well.

[skyshaper]

You'll meet a lot of them... here.

[Gurl, you have been playing that small card this whole time.]

I'm not that small.

[ends_in_ashes]

[It's her one amusement right now, since it seems to rub him the wrong way.]

Perhaps not among your own.

[A few rumbling chuckles, then she finally asks.]

And what do I call you.

[skyshaper]

I'm about your size, honestly. Maybe not ... mass-wise, but length-wise.

[Grumble.]

Rayquaza. Er - Ray.
