Video 01

[There's audible frustration as you hear swearing and the pokegear clatter to the ground. (Bear with her, this is still new for her as her world used magic devices as their communication tech.) Once it's picked up and she dusts it off, she lets out a huff of embarrassment before turning the camera feature towards the Fletchling on her shoulder, and then to her own face, pointed ears poking out of her hair.]

As you must now already all be aware, I've little knowledge of this place! A curse it must be to be found in this place without your powers, and then find you've become a mortal like all the natives, how insulting!

[A brief pause before shaking her head, stopping herself before she starts cursing the ancients of Tharcia and going on a tirade about how Rivaersa unfairly cursed her, stripping her of her Phoenix powers.]

But no matter, 'tis unimportant. What draws my attention is that all here seem to be gifted in Beastmastery... how curious, that's a rare gift in my home, a gift by bloodline and tribe in fact. Are all in this place of the same ancestors or family lines? Or do these creatures have a friendlier disposition than most beasts? This one on my shoulder here, whom I've decided to name 'Nova', calls herself a "Fletchling" and says she's going to be my companion as I "train" her to become stronger. Is this what those beasts here are all called, Fletchling?

AND WHAT IS WITH THIS AWFUL NOISE PLAYING NON-STOP?

[She was trying to be diplomatic.]

I... was human once, but it was long ago, and I don't remember what it's like anymore.

[So far, she's not really liking it very much, although it's not as if being a warrior of the Organization had been any better; in some ways, it had even been a great deal worse. But in her experience, humans are crueler and more vicious than almost any warrior, with the possible exception of Rox— of her.]

I suppose if we're here long enough we'll stop noticing it eventually.

[She's not sure she's comfortable with that idea, either.]

The PokeGear machine says mine is a Type... Null? [She takes a moment to fiddle with the camera feature, before turning the device so that Willow can see. The Pokemon is sparkling brightly in the sunlight as it turns its attention towards Cassandra.]

That's how we start out, but... the Organization changes us.

[If that sounds ominous... well, it is.]

It might be the more merciful option, but it's... I'm not sure I like it.

It... looks like it was created, rather than born? The... PokeGear... says the mask is supposed to control its power, but...

[But it looks uncomfortable and heavy if not actively painful, and Cassandra wonders about those who would design such a thing.]

It was. Unpleasant.

[At least she doesn't have to worry about her sutures in this form. That's taken some getting used to, honestly.]

I think people who want to create powerful things don't often think about what their creations think or feel.

Thank you.

[She's quiet for a moment.]

I think I'd just be happy if it was comfortable. It doesn't feel right hoping for it to be grateful.

[Maybe she's misunderstanding?]

That's... true...

[She just wants to not be a terrible... owner? caretaker? to it.]
