...we came in?

POOR UNFORTUNATE SOULS


[There's no doubt that those who wake up will vaguely remember a dream.

In that dream, at least for most people, there are two figures, informing them each that they had a Title. With that title came a power. More than that, they were being given rooms, as if they were meant to stay in the dark and gloomy place where their dreams placed them. The Strangers might have found this to be a ridiculous proposition. Unless they have been through this before, then were probably not surprised in the least.

All of this, of course, ended with a sense of inexplicable dread for everyone. Especially when they woke up to find themselves in long, thin, cramped rooms, with only candlelight to give them any illumination.

Yes. Unfortunately, that dream had not been a dream at all, much as you might have hoped. You are here, now, inside an old, decrepit house where you have been given what appears to be a permanent residency. While you apparently have a power to aid you, it's no comfort. You have no option to leave, you have no way to escape, and the rules hammered to your door doesn't help the creeping sense of doom pooling in your stomach.

...

Now.

Where are those two figures that had greeted you to begin with?]

[ You just made her day there, Franciscus. If the way she has absolutely not stopped smiling at all says something. If possible her smile is much more radiant now. ]

Totally! It really will!

[ Soexcited about this and it can't be helped. ]

There's this transforming magic I can do, where I use a spell to turn into all kinds of creatures! Like a mouse, a bird, you name it!

[silvertongueheir]

Really? [Shapeshifting abilities are still somewhat rare, after all.] Becoming a bird definitely sounds like one of the best uses of such an ability. Though I suppose I may be biased, seeing as I have a fondness for birds myself.

[alwaysgonnatry]

Mm-hm!

[ She is SO proud of her skills in that department, and sure the forms they take aren't the prettiest but she can at least manage to do the magic at all and that's a great accomplishment for her. ]

Then it's decided! Soon as I'm able to actually cast magic again, i'll turn myself into a bird first! [ There's a small laugh that follows that. ] Though I am curious, is there a reason you're so fond of birds?

[silvertongueheir]

Well...avian and Flying-type Pokemon are my specialty, after all. And they're magnificent to watch in flight.

[alwaysgonnatry]

They are, but... Pokemon? What are those?

[ Please enlighten her. ]

[silvertongueheir]

Ah, they're one of the dominant species in my world, though they come in a great variety of forms. They work alongside humans, and as many of them have a desire for battle they often end up forming partnerships with trainers who can assist them in that regard.

[alwaysgonnatry]

Whoah! That sounds amazing!! They're like animals but they can partner up with people and actually fight!?

[ You've totally intrigued her there, Franciscus. ]

Think maybe you'd let me meet one someday?

[silvertongueheir]

Oh, certainly. My team always enjoys meeting new people. Though I don't know where they are right now, I'll introduce you the moment I find them again.

[alwaysgonnatry]

I look forwards to it! You'll get to see my magic someday and I'll get to meet one of your pokemon!

[ A pause and then without preamble, continues as if she'd never paused to start with. ]

Could you tell me more about what your home is like?

[silvertongueheir]

Well, I mentioned Pokemon trainers already...there are also Gyms, which are meant to test a trainer's strength and skill. Most of them focus on a single Type, and the leaders have different teams based on the skill of the challenger. Defeating the leader earns the challenger a Badge, and eight Badges allow a challenger to attend the Pokemon League. Though it's different in every region, and they all have their own styles.

[alwaysgonnatry]

That's incredible! If I was there, i'd totally be going and getting those badges!

[ Just the idea has her all psyched up now, completely animated in these gestures of hers as she speaks. ]

I mean, I know I'd have to work REALLY hard to do it but if I put as much effort into it as I have with my becoming a witch, I think I could do it!

[silvertongueheir]

[Man, she's so enthusiastic. It actually makes his chest sting a bit, since he probably won't get to return there, ever-it's not like that was really his home world in the first place, technically. But he doesn't want to just crush her dreams either.]

You'd have plenty of guidance on the way, as well. Trainers can get free medical treatment from Pokecenters and discounts at Pokemarts, and there are plenty of more experienced people willing to offer advice.

[alwaysgonnatry]

So cool!! I can't get over just how much fun it sounds like it would be!

[ Everything about this had merit and it made her frustrated that she couldn't actually do anything other than just simply imagine what it would be like to be in that world of his. ]

I wonder what type I'd collect if I was there... [ She pauses and then looks up to Franciscus once more. ] What type do you think would suit me?

[silvertongueheir]

Fairy or Psychic-types, perhaps. Those are the types more closely associated with magic. Or perhaps Ghost-types, since there is an actual Ghost-type that has a witchlike appearance.
