Unfortunately for Riwane, the very first person she would interact with on her way into her new school was one of the world's top douchebags. He was sitting on a bench near the gate, reading a Kanto newspaper, and upon seeing the bright eyed girl stride into school, he lowered his newspaper just a little. When he saw the rather obvious tail on fire, he lowered it even more, and decided to call out to her.

"... Hey."

[will_ablaze]

Riwane paused her curious step and turned towards the voice. She eyed him curiously before smiling and giving a cheery wave.

"Hey there!"

[redisaloser]

He stood, rolling the newspaper up and tucking it into his back pants pocket, and walking over to the girl. He pointed to her butt, indicating her tail.

"... You a Charmander?" She had no wings, no horn. But the only other Charmander he knew was Blue's.

[will_ablaze]

"That I am," she replied simply, smile still on her face as she rearranged her headphones so she could hear him better.

"I'm Riwane, nice ta meet'cha~"

[blazinglizard]

Flaming tail, meet flaming tail.

Up on the rooftop there? You see that little blot of orange? Well, he sees you. And a flaming tail means another Charizard means an intruder on his territory. This cannot stand.

He lifted his neck to the sky and roared out a challenge, spitting a pillar of flame heavenward. He dove from the rooftop, wings beating powerfully as he pulled into a dive...

...and then came up short, skidding to an awkward landing in front of Riwane. There was the tail, yeah... but where were the horns? Wings? And she wasn't red, either... Was this... just some twerpy little Charmander?

Char tilted his head to the side, a confused rumbling noise coming from the back of his throat. When he spoke, of course, it was nothing more than the growly bass of Charizard-speak, but even humanized, another Pokemon would be able to understand it:

"Who the hell are you?"

Yeah. This guy's not too good at friendly welcomes.

[will_ablaze]

Riwane's eyes lit up brightly as she gasped excitedly, "Wow~! So cool!" the greeting going right over her head.

She moved close and looked him up and down with a child-like glee before grinning and looking up at him. "Hi! I'm Riwane, nice ta meet'cha~"

[blazinglizard]

Uh. This was one encounter where instinct was being of no help to him whatsoever. That drive to defend his territory from others of his species... really didn't extend to Charmanders at all. And it wasn't like she was challenging him at all. The opposite, in fact. She'd called him cool. For a brief little second, he actually kinda grinned.

"...Char." Yes, a Charizard called Char. Not the most creative nickname ever, but there was still a distinct note of pride in his voice as he introduced himself. "I'm the Charizard that owns this here turf." (Deal with it, Sasha.)

Char craned his neck down closer to Riwane's level, nodding at her. "I'm thinkin' you're a Charmander, ain't you? You got the tail, but you ain't got no wings."

[will_ablaze]

"A Charizard," she said in a low voice, remembering her light studies with her trainer. He was the ultimate evolution of her species? That was so neat! Even if she vehemently refuses to evolve herself, that didn't mean she didn't admire them!

"So, I take it yer the leader of the Charizards here then?" she asked curiously before smiling and nodding. "Yup! I'm a Charmander alright~!" she said happily.

(Technically I am still on hiatus but how could I resist you.)

B-12 was a pretty happening place. The doorway was completely covered in bellflowers. That was kind of weird, since none of the other doors in that hallway were. HUH.

All right, maybe it wasn't so happening. Upon entering, the room seemed pretty devoid of life. DOUBLE HUH.

It's ok! <3

[will_ablaze]

"Well at least it's a pretty place~" she mused as she smiled at the bellflowers and made her way in slowly. She examined the room curiously, wondering about her new roommate and her new home.

8'D <3

[impish_shadow]

The room continued to exhibit zero signs of immediately recent life. Someone certainly lived there, they just weren't there at the moment. There wasn't anything too out of the ordinary that really stood out. A blanket full of dog hair on the taken bed, some photos of people in nearly compromising situations pinned up on a bulletin board near the taken desk, a pot of berries in the window.

Really, it was actually kind of boring.

At least it was until the odd vortex of black geometry and magic formed on the ceiling and a lady came floating out of it. She didn't notice the other girl at first, not until the flicker of fire caught her eye and she glanced over.

"Oho. You're cuter than most squatters usually are~"

^////^

[will_ablaze]

Riwane set her stuff down on the area that wasn't taken, sitting on the edge of the free bed to look at the room from this vantage spot with a smile.

This would be her room huh? Sharing it with someone made it all the better... after all, she hated being alone. She didn't mind one bit the lack of decoration, she knew there were some that enjoyed simplicity, and besides! Her side might not be that much more decorated anyways!... Maybe...

Once the vortex appeared however, her gaze turned to look curiously at the ceiling, and then at the floating lady that came from it, her eyes alight with curiosity!

"Neat!" she exclaimed instantly, smiling at the newcomer which she assumed could be her roommate!

"I dun' know what a squatter is, but I appreciate the compliment~! S'nice ta meetcha, I'm Riwane, a Charmander. An' I'll be livin' in these here quarters~"

Someone little kid was out playing with a ball outside near the courtyard. He seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Was the ball going Riwane's way? It sure was!

[will_ablaze]

When the ball reached Riwane, she paused, then kicked it up in the air and caught it, looking out towards the owner with a smile.

She made her way towards him, a happy skip in her step and music still blaring out of her headphones.

"Think ya lost this." she said as she spun the ball a few times before handing it over.

[metal_feathers]

The lasy seemed nice! She was even returning the ball to him! Naturally, he should be friendly back.

"Hey thank you, lady!"

Skarmory went to reach for the ball.

"I'm just playing the game but it's hard to play by myself."

Yes, he was nearing asking what you think he might be asking.

"Are you busy, lady? Can you play with me?"

[will_ablaze]

Riwane smiled brightly as he took the ball, giving him a once over curiously.

At the question, she couldn't help but nod.

"Well, I ain't really in a rush now. So I dun mind playin' for a little bit. What are we playin' now?" she asked with a smile.

Flare didn't find much of anything out of the ordinary today- at least from what she could judge as Smash's 'out of the ordinary', which was a definition that had to be learned from experience.

Thanks to that island trip and a bunch of curses and stuff, she was beginning to learn quickly. Geez, good thing she isn't new to this place anymore and she's kind of learning and oh that chick has a flame on her tail.

... Wait a minute. That chick has a flame on her tail. Time to make a BEELINE for this girl and grab her tail just under the flame.

"Hey, you! What's with your tail?"

Was this Sasha? No, Sasha had wings. Who is this person then?

[will_ablaze]

That was an odd greeting if she ever heard one, but then again, she was very curious herself as she turned and searched for the source of the voice. Her eyes locking on Flares and smiling.

"It's jus' my tail," as if the answer was obvious. "Why do ya ask?"

[paneldeflambe]

"No, I mean," Flare spoke, her expression still more astonished than anything, "Why's it on fire? You have some kind of fire abilities?!"

She hoped Riwane didn't mind her just sticking her hand into the fire and relishing in its warmth. Fire fairies can kind of do that. If Riwane did mind? Well, Flare didn't care much because she is just so damn fascinated.

She loves this school for having fire-attuned people.

[will_ablaze]

Riwane looked back curiously, tilting her head as the girl stuck her hand in her flame.

"Oh, well, yeah. I'm a Charmander of course. And my tail's alit cause... well... It's always been like that really. But it goes dim when I get sick, or when I feel sad... My..." she paused for a moment remembering her trainer, but pushed any sadness away, she had to be strong, specially now that she got accepted!

"My trainer also explained that I can't, by any means let it go out. Or I'll be as dead as a doornail." she said as casually as if she was speaking of the weather.
