[Two days had gone by since she'd woken up in a bed that wasn't familiar, in a house that wasn't warm like the one she shared with Elias, by a woman that wasn't Silver Lady. Two days since she'd gotten bombarded with information by a few people in the small town and set out on the road with the odd little Fae creature that looked like a candle.

It was a lot to take in.

Chise was still expecting to wake up and find this was all some strange dream but by the evening of her second day in this world she had come to the realization that it wasn't. And that she needed help. Information. Anything.

When she finally turns her 'gear on the sun is just starting to set as she sits under a tree along the road, a Litwick settled on her shoulder looking quite pleased with itself as it sways back and forth.]

I don't know where I am or why I'm here. I thought it was just a dream.

[Her expression stays relaxed, neutral really as she says it though the red headed teen glances down and her shoulders sag just a touch.]

If I ask how to get home the answers is going to be there's isn't a way..isn't it? [The Litwick on her shoulder makes a soft cooing noise and reaches out with a small hand to pat her cheek. Chise glances at the creature, watching her only to glance at her 'gear again.] ...Is this some sort of Fae world?

So far, not really. People go and come all the time, but it's got odd rhyme and reason to it. This isn't a fairy world though, I know my fairy worlds.

And as much as Pokemon can be small cute and adorable, they're not fairies, at least by my standards.

[unwantedgirl]

Not all Fae are adorable.

[Some tried to be but they could be terrifying in their own right.]

Are there demons here? Monsters?

[pikapikajankenpo]

There's a lot of definition of that, considering where I came from. The fairies of my world are all adorable plush like beings.

[Precure fairies, go figure.]

No demons, and Pokemon is short for Pocket Monsters. So yes, they are monsters, but they're also mostly just Pokemon.

[unwantedgirl]

Plush..like beings?

[Okay now she can't help but just look momentarily confused by that and perhaps a little unsure? Put off?

It's just a little hard to picture.]

So they really are the only ones that can use magic here?

[pikapikajankenpo]

Yeah, that's how fairies were in my world. Plush like beings who couldn't harm a fly.

[Her world was full of adorable.]

Pokemon aren't using magic, it's a biology thing. But yes, they're the only things here that does have some sort of special ability.

Not at will, no. Though it seems everyone does wind up sent back to their home world eventually.

*he's admittedly not entirely sure what she means by a 'fae' world, though*

Video

[unwantedgirl]

Sent back...by who?

[Was there someone controlling this world?]

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Or 'what', perhaps. No one's been able to uncover any information as to just how people are brought here and returned to their worlds. All we know for certain is that it's involuntary, and comes without warning.

With that said, however, time here is independent of that of other worlds, so anyone who's sent back will return to the precise moment they left.

Video

[unwantedgirl]

[That makes her feel a little better at least, knowing that time essentially stops.]

So I won't miss anything...and no one will realize I'm gone?

[The relief is obvious in her voice.]

There has to be some explanation, some magic or science to what brought us all here...

Video

[thumbsdown]

Sorry. But you're right, there isn't a way home.

[Boone tilts his head at the question, though.]

Not sure what you mean by a Fae world, though. What's that?

Video

[unwantedgirl]

It's alright.

[It's unsettling and it worries her a bit because she has a feeling that Elias is going to worry--she's not aware that time stops back home--but she'll make do.]

The Faerie Kingdom. Tir na nÓg.

[thumbsdown]

...Tir na what now?

[He rubs a hand over his face.]

Well, I'm pretty sure this isn't a Fae world. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing for you.

[unwantedgirl]

Tir na nÓg.

[She says it a bit slower so he can understand it a bit better.]

I'm not sure yet. If it's good or bad being here. I'm worried about everyone in my world..

[video]

[paladinlost]

There is no way home that we can control or predict, though the great majority of those who are brought here are sent back after a few years.

[He would know, he's one of the few exceptions.]

Could you define what you'd consider a 'Fae world'?

[video]

[unwantedgirl]

Who sends people back?

[There had to be someone controlling this world, right?]

The kingdom of Faeries. Fae exist in our world but they have their own realm that exists parallel to ours. It's called Tir na nÓg...

[video]

[paladinlost]

That's still uncertain. Possibly Arceus, a Legendary Pokémon we've met a few times, but it might merely be responsible for our arrival instead.

[So many Legendary options, so few opportunities to interrogate them.]

That sounds somewhat like the Feymarch... However, this world is its own, parallel to no other, and its fairies are merely another type of Pokémon.

[video]

[unwantedgirl]

Legendary Pokemon? There are different types of Pokemon--not just categories like Ghost and Fairy?

[This is far more confusing than she realized.]

Strange. So the fairy here can't really hurt us in any way?

[icecastlemadonna]

I’m sure other people have told you the same thing by now, but...no, there isn’t a way back that anyone here has found. People are just brought here and sent back without warning.

And, um...as for “fae”, does that have anything to do with fairies? Because there are Fairy type Pokemon, but there are a lot of other different types, too.

[unwantedgirl]

[Chise just nods. Yeah, others have told her already but she appreciates everyone being kind enough to explain it.]

It does but not..like the fairy type Pokemon. I think the fairy types here are different from the Fae back home, where I come from I mean. Wendy-- [She motions to the Litwick.] --is similar to a Will o' the wisp which are Fae back home but I read in the information that she's a Ghost type?

[icecastlemadonna]

A Will o’ the wisp, huh? [Yuuko leans in a bit closer to take a better look at the Litwick. That does look like a Ghost type from what she’s heard about them, even though she has yet to encounter any.] I think I’ve heard of that. It’s kind of like foxfire, right?

[Speaking of foxes, Yuuko tilts her ‘gear down towards her lap, where an Alolan Vulpix is curled up asleep.] Come to think of it, there are some Pokemon that are kind of similar to things like fairies or youkai. Salchow here is a Vulpix, but he reminds me a lot of the stories about fox spirits back home.

[unwantedgirl]

[The little Litwick strikes a pose when Yuuko leans in closer, pushing up her waxy bangs to as if primping herself. See how lovely she is? A wonderful little ghost!

Chise, meanwhile, looks happily surprised.]

Yes, just like that.

[She takes in the sight of the Alolan Vulpix, resisting the urge to melt at the sight because oh what a cute little fa--Pokemon.

Hold on.]

You're from Japan?

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

It...it can feel like a dream sometimes, it's true, but it's...actually quite real.

[Jane still looks tired from this morning - still looks sad, but she's trying to hide it with a warm smile. It...it's not working, but the smile is sincere, at least.]

I don't know about Fae, that's...fairies, right? But these are Pokemon, and this is a relatively safe place to be.

[Video]

[unwantedgirl]

[If Chise notices, she doesn't say anything. She's far too familiar with those kinds of looks to call someone out on them.

There is a slight change in her own expression though. A softening as she tilts her head just a bit towards her Litwick.]

Someone told me people stay here for years...I've experienced a lot of strange things but this is...a lot.

[She's already homesick and she's only been here two days.]

Yes. [The Litwick on her shoulder puffs up proudly. See? Safe~ Totally safe!] All places have their dangers though, don't they?

[Video]

[cyan_maid]

Sometimes they do. Sometimes it's for a very long time. Others, not so much. It's...completely random, and particularly cruel.

[Why is she the only one left out of their group? Why is it her?]

They do, that's true. But I speak from experience - this world is kind, it's safe, and for however long you're here, there's pleny of kindness to go around. So don't hesitate to ask questions on here if you have them, or talk to other people, alright?

[Video]

[unwantedgirl]

Cruel? What do you mean?

[Is that why you look so sad?

Chise is still wary of all of this, worried that it was some sort of trick by some Fae or even Joseph but..]

I won't.
