[Ember is still on the beginner's route, but that hasn't stopped her from breaking in her new PokeGear some more. People probably heard her over the 'Gear yelling at her "mom" while being kicked out of the house. She's calmed down some now, but she still feels like a coal out of the fireplace here. ESPECIALLY SINCE SHE'S HUMAN NOW....]

Hey uh, it's Ember. Ember Lumen. It seems like this thing is the best way to talk to people, huh? Well I just got one thing to say to all of you...

TELL ME ALL ABOUT FIRE POKEMON! I WANT ALL OF THEM!! The more the better!!!!!

[A pause.]

Oh yeah... and uh, my fire went out? Like normally I'd be totallyyyy covered in fire but nope, not here. Can someone explain what's going on?

ButpleasetellmemoreaboutfirePokemon!

Yeah, Fire is one of their types. But they each have a second type too. [ She gestures to each Pokemon as she talks about them. ] Muilldo is Fire and Ground, Picoso is Fire and Bug, and Diablo is actually Dark and Fire.

A fire element? Oh, I see. [ She sort of gets it, anyway, but she's just going to assume that's just the world that she comes from. ] Yeah, this place is a bit strange like that. People who are a bit different get changed to look like regular humans, and people with special powers or abilities lose them.

[hottemper]

Oh, so they come with different typings too? That's pretty cool! I gotta admit, I don't really know much about strengths and weaknesses of all these Pokemon. To be honest, I'm surprised I haven't been sent back home or something...

[It's kind of worrying? Her family and her Wade is back home.]

Oh well, being a "human" element has been pretty interesting so far. Don't have to worry about accidentally setting anything on fire.

[neverbreaks]

They can, yup! It can take a while to get the hang of, especially when having a Pokemon with a dual type can mess with its strengths and weaknesses, but you learn more and more as you get to know your Pokemon.

It's...hard to really say why any of us are brought here and who stays and who gets home. I...had a sister that was here for a while, but she eventually got sent home after a while. [ Pausing a moment, she clears her throat and pushes on. ] But some people I know have been here for years. And the people back home don't seem to realize that we've even gone...something about time being frozen? So at least we don't really have to worry about that.

There's that, at least. But I bet it's been pretty weird, being something so different from what you originally were.

[hottemper]

Well, I guess it's... okay, if time is frozen back home. I'd hate to see Wade freaking out because I was gone this whole time.

[She does sound a little sad though. She'd love to have Wade here with her.]

Your sister, huh? That must've been really nice that you two got to be together for a while. Maybe... you'll get to bring home a bunch of new stories to tell her, to catch her up on, you know? I've always been an only kid, so it must be cool to have siblings.

[neverbreaks]

Yeah. It makes it a little easier being here, even if it's a bit weird to think about.

That's true. I bet she'd love to hear about the stuff she's missed. And it's not so bad, because my older sister is here now. [ Though it's not quite the same as having Mira, having Isa still makes it a bit less lonely. ]

Yeah, it is pretty cool. It can get a bit crowded sometimes, especially since we also lived with my tía and tío and cousins, but I always enjoyed growing up with them.

[hottemper]

I bet she'd love to hear it...

Wow, big family then? I just live with my parents, in Fire Town. My Àshfà... he was going retire and let me take over the family shop, but I ended up becoming a glassmaker instead.

[neverbreaks]

Yeah, there's twelve of us in total, all living together. It can be a lot, but it'd be a lonelier without them, I think.

[ Even though she's gotten used to living on her own here, it hasn't always been easy. ]

A glassmaker sounds really nice. What was the shop for? And...what's an "àshfà"?
