(open log) First mix
Who: Aelita, anyone!
What: New Pokemon that is also learning how to be alive, do chores and commit violence
When: April
Where: The city (Cheri berry guild, the training rooms, beach)
Warnings: Heights? Possible talk of child endangerment and everything about Aelita's background sounds Unfortunate without context.
Cheri Berry Guild
Berry collection
[Having to collect food was one of the many new things to her. Though from what she'd learnt from the others, humans didn't collect food. Her friends had mentioned going to a canteen but Aelita was sure that wasn't as involved as this.
Because she had a small woven basket tied to her back and was nimbly climbed up the thinner branches. Filling it with a few berries, then scurrying back to place them into a larger basket for someone else to collect.
The height didn't bother her. She regularly had to navigate worse when doing her patrols.
What did make her pause was the big berry. Something that had become apparent very quickly was that... She was small, very small. And this berry was more than two inches larger than her. It wouldn't fit in her basket and even if it did, she wasn't sure how much it'd weigh.
Time to return to platforms. Then she darted to the first Pokemon she saw.]
Hello there. Are you busy? I need help carrying something.
Leaving present
[For the last year, Aelita hadn't need to sleep. She'd spent her time looking for Xana activity, helping Jeremie on the materialisation program, talking to Jeremie, browsing the internet when Jeremie was sleeping.
So the first time she fell asleep was... Probably a bit more literal than it should have been.
But she knew better now! She could recognise when she was sleepy and where to go. She'd been given a pile of leaves. A majority of those leaves remained as a bed. The rest? They'd gotten tangled in her curly fur. Though some did fall out when she moved suddenly. Or when the scruffy creature did a full body shake.]
Quest related
Not a minior ma-
[She just wanted to help. Aelita hadn't liked watching the Minior when they were...in pain? She wasn't sure. But she'd not had the skills to help with their healing process.
What she could help with, was making these catapults. Her little paws were great for tying knots, climbing up and placing delicate parts of the mechanism. She was light enough to avoid brea-
With an actual squeak and she was gone.
Good news! The catapult works. Bad news, the rodent is airborne.]
Other
(ง •̀_•́)ง No longer an escort quest (debatable)
[Aelita didn't fight. She had powers on Lyoko, but those required life points to use and they weren't practical in the same way a sword was. There was a difference between an actual weapon and manipulating the terrain so foes would take themselves out.
Since arriving she'd had a few bursts of power. Shooting off uncontrolled sparks of electricity (her first sneeze). No one had gotten hurt but it was probably better to learn what she could do.
That was how she found herself in the training rooms of the Spire... Now what? She awkwardly waited by the sidelines until another Pokemon seemed to be done, then waddled over with wave.]
Excuse me. Um... How do you know what to do?
Coastal charms
Can you really touch it without being destroyed here?
[She'd been sat in the sand for a while, just watching as the waves ebbed and flowed. Though she never got near. When it seemed like the tide was changing, she'd get up and retreat further up the beach and away from the water.
Aelita hadn't even looked at the approaching Pokemon. She'd just spoken without moving her gaze from the water. Those who'd met her before might notice that she was a lot more subdued. She wasn't looking at everything, marvelling at the feel of the sand...just listening and observing the ocean.]
It's beautiful...
[Was this what her friends had wanted her to see?]

... The water itself shouldn't hurt you, if you wanted to try it out in a smaller portion. There should be some uninhabited mini tide pools nearby, we can go check for them if you'd like.
no subject
That's how it was like back where I'm from.
[There was the digital sea. Then there were the oasis and small pools in the desert and ice sectors.]
no subject
[ Still, hard not to tell there's something else underlaying the questions. ]
What other types were you used to?
no subject
Where I'm from there were two types of water. There are small pools that you can touch, though sometimes it's just a visual illusion. [Given she didn't want to die, she'd not really experimented with them to find out.
The digital sea...that was harder to explain.]
The dangerous one, it's... it's not really water. It just looks and moves like it. [She tilted her head. Looking at the other pokemon, checking if they were following. ]
If you touched it, you'd be absorbed and scattered throughout it's body.
no subject
And while she hadn't heard of "water" that did something like that specifically, there's still something familiar in the descriptions. The concept of being scattered she knows all too well. ]
Huh... so you were unable to interact with the 'human' world normally...
[ She hates that enough of this is unclear for her to have to ask clarifying questions, but here they are. "Are you a digimon" seems too direct; and likely not the right guess; most she's encountered aside from herself seem to broadcast that immediately. ]
But what you're describing seems more... digital in a way, though I can't say I've encountered water that does that. It sounds more like a firewall. [ All that aside- she'd known water in other forms too. ] Though it being a visual effect makes sense.
no subject
But Aelita didn't know what an authority figure was here. Or how to tell which pokemon were even adults.
She didn't even know if she was connected to the supercomputer any more...]
It's not a firewall...[Was there even a point to hiding things? Wouldn't people realise given she'd needed help with basic parts of being alive? That she'd not known she'd needed to sleep.]
It's the digital sea. If you touched it, you'd be fragmented and scattered across the internet.
