11th Flame - Return to normality (or lack thereof)

[There is now a Sasha back in the school. If you catch a glimpse of her human form, you might notice she looks different than before. The yellow highlights are completely gone and her hair is a bit shorter because of it. She's also put on a bit of weight and muscle. Nothing that this is noticeable by the eye since she's only been training for a month, but if you're of the really creepy type / or someone from her family, you might realize that touching her arms gives more resistance than before. It's a start. She also has stopped wearing shoes and walks around campus, hobbit style only with less hair.

A few of you have received beautiful glass vases as presents from Sasha and her new glassblowing hobby. And by beautiful pieces I mean melted piles of glass goop that almost look like vases. She's trying hard, okay, these were all done by herself.]


...That was a strange time to come back [She does not want to remember what happened with Sonny. Or with Red.]. Any teachers that I owe homework to, I've been doing all of my work as I was instructed and given. Expect anything that you didn't get back by mail last week to be delivered to your respective teacher mailboxes later today. Also the dorm room feels pretty empty now that Spinny's gone. Hopefully I'll get someone by next year.

[Private to Red Team]
Do any of you have perfumes of colognes? My hands still smell from that demonic combusken goop.

I'll be continuing my training at the Fire Dojo from this point forward. I'll just do it much earlier in the morning unless you guys want to do something that day. Vanhi's pretty flexible about my schedule now.

I'm also on weekday city probation for attacking a civilian the next four months. I honestly didn't think it would be that little, but considering the nature of where we are, the fact no one died, the fact it was reported this late, and the fact Volgin is not here anymore for his side of the story, that was as much as they could give me legally. I've been told that it's mostly street cleanup work from 6 to 9pm during weekdays. I'm sorry if that ruins anyone's vacation plans for the summer.

Hello professor, I trust you are well after this...giant freaky combusken thingamajig...

But may we talk? It's regarding Raikov, mostly.

[Private Petition to the Hands]
Dear Headmasters,

If it would be possible with next year's budget, I would like to know if there might be a chance of acquiring a fire forge to be built in the school's basement for art-related classes such as pottery and glass blowing. The furnace would be built in an already empty basement room that has been checked to be completely made of cement and poses no fire hazards. Obviously, overhead fire extinguishers would need to be installed, but for the most part, upkeep costs would be minimal.

I realize that first and foremost this is a fighting campus but if my stay at the Fire Dojo has taught me anything, it is that the arts can bring out aspects of ourselves that we never thought possible. I can recommend to you a few people from Final Destination City that would be pleased to help you make a selection and offer knowledge about the subject. They are also prepared to make a monetary donation in regards to the project, if it is accepted.

Thank you for your consideration,
Sasha
This letter was totally not reviewed and corrected by Wukong that would be silly.

[Private to Max]
I think I owe you at least one date. Even if you hate my hair.

Maybe sometime next weekend? I really can't on weekdays...unless you want to have lunch together.
[/Private]

[Private to Bulba]
How are you feeling?

[Private to Char]
I visited the Charizards.

[Private to Rhys of the Pokemon Kind]
I saw your name on the student list. Are you doing this on purpose.

[Private to Nyx]
Screw guys, let's make out

And that's the root of problem, I think. Maybe they don't want to split up as much. Imagine if you've lived with each other, worked with each other for all those years. This isn't just living until your first evolution like they were supposed to, they stayed with each other all that time. Suddenly they're being told they have to act normal and proper because that's how they should be doing it and not see each other and start arguing and...it's got to be hard on them no matter how much it might be .

But they are trying. I saw the determination in their eyes. There's signs but at the same time there's inner conflict. I guess uh...imagine if you were told you couldn't be with Green, Nyx, Rhys or Bulba anymore? Because that's not what wild charizards should be. That you'd remember all the adventures you had together but you wouldn't be allowed to see them again except for tiny little moments once in a while. Would you be able to do it? Alone in the woods for the rest of your life just to prove you can return to the wild?

I think they can make it, although they may not end up doing it in the most traditional sense.

[Private - whoops dickback mode is return]

You're so weird sometimes, Charitard. It ain't like I'm some kinda tyrant forcin' everyone to turn into icky, mean Charizards. This is how we're made. We might start out social animals, but we don't stay that way! They ain't gonna start pickin' fights with each other because big bully Char ordered 'em to. They're gonna start pickin' fights because they're way too many males cramped into way too tiny a space with no peckin' order to speak of.

I dunno if your blind ass ever noticed, but it took me years to even listen to Green, let alone want to be on his team. Hell, as recent as two years ago, I was still jumpin' at the chance to ditch all of 'em. You are not imposin' your screwed-up wirin' onto them. Arceus wanted us to be independent for a damn good reason, or we wouldn't have this pride in the first place. Just because Red stamped it outta you don't mean you gotta go crushin' the spirit of everyone else you come into contact with.

They had it rough, but they ain't defective, and they sure as hell don't need nobody tryin' to make 'em ashamed of what they're s'posed to be. The spark's there, Charitard. Our job's to kindle it, not snuff it.

No.

I think you're the one that doesn't understand anything! Just because you did something doesn't mean all the other Charizards have to be exactly like you. Arceus wanted us to be independent, but she also gave us the ability to learn, grow and think for ourselves, even if it's sometimes outside of the box. I think both you and I are proof of that.

[Char she sort of called you smart, savor it while you can.]

I am not calling them defective, I'm saying they shouldn't be ashamed that they like to be together because they're supposed to be out there fighting each other endlessly because it is apparently the right thing to do. They can still have pride and work together!

...Especially since they might be the only Charizards they'll see for a long time.

[But Sasha you don't have a dick]

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so they gotta be like you instead?

Look, I'm not imposin' jack shit on them. I'm tellin' you, that's gonna happen on its own. I spent a hell of a lot of my life tame too, but look: we're Charizards, we're fightin'. Anyway, I told you: even if they work together, there ain't enough food for 15 Charizards in that little chunk of land. They'll show off awesome sparkly teamwork takin' down a goddamn Spearow, but what happens when that Spearow's only enough to feed one Charizard? I dunno how to make the obvious any more obvious to you.

The hell are you talkin' about, anyway? All their problems are because they're seein' too many goddamn Charizards.

[With Charizards it makes no difference okay no]

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not saying that either! I'm just saying they should be themselves.

You can to continue to think they'll all just suddenly end up in a massive brawl and go their own separate ways but I think they'll adapt and be able to work at as team. I know it! [You have a persuasive argument there Char] They can move around! We have wings for a reason too.

All they've seen are male Charizards, apart from me. No matter how great and amazing they might turn out...[she's not sure how to type the next part.]

[Sasha is there something you're not telling us]

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
So you're sayin' it's better to act like a swarm of locusts? Go from place to place, reapin' it dry of its prey and movin' on once they've razed it? Yeah, that's gonna do wonders for the rep Charizards get. Maybe we'll see dragonslayers makin' a comeback.

Gettin' a little ahead of yourself, Charitard. I know you like thinkin' they're all so in love with you, but don't you think you oughta worry about whether they're gonna starve to death before you worry about presentin' to 'em?

[Well there are no sprite differences and only 12.5% of us soo..I'm a ditto]

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
They don't have to ravage a place either! They're smarter than that. I know they can be better than that. They still haven't been caught by all the trainers around, right? They can split up and hunt in more than one pack too!

Urgh I don't even want to...look I'm just saying that we've got a whole bunch of Charizards without any mates and sooner or later they'll need someone for that. Maybe we can turn Samus into a Charizard again oh wait I wasn't around for that. It's called planning ahead.

[I KNEW IT]

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
So they just hafta give up on havin' their own territory, independence, and fightin' ability against other males. You're already thinkin' of how to hook 'em up with ladies, and you're takin' away everything that makes them men. What, they should maybe just braid some pretty daisy chains to make all the ladies gently take their hands and prance away together?

Face it, Charitard, you don't know what you're talkin' about.

[ALSO I'M FROM THE MOON]

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I see what this is about. You're just afraid that if a girl shows them how to make it as Charizards better than you, then it will hurt your pride.

I'm not making them braid pretty daisy chains and having them prance in the fields. I'm showing them how team work can increase your results.

[ARE YOU A SPACE UMBREON]

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm afraid that if a moron shows them how to be anything but Charizards, then they won't actually make it because some dumb bitch thought she was so goddamn clever. What kinda magical make-believe fairyland are you livin' in, if you seriously think any of your dumbass tame-Pokemon ideas are actually gonna help them?

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:20 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'm pretty sure your afraid that your ways might not be working and that mine might actually be.

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god. The one time I'm not havin' a stupid pissin' match, and suddenly you're the one lookin' for one.

Look, who do you think knows more about survivin' in the wild? The guy who actually lived in the wild, or the droolin' retard that's had a cushy-ass domesticated life?

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, because I was sitting on my ass for most of my life, and not out there battling other Pokemon or staying in a mountaintop for a few years. You may have experience, but I have my own too. And I'm also saying these guys have lived together for a long time. We can adapt and not just think there's one goal and it's that or stuck inside a Pokeball.

Which is to say, yes this is turning into a pissing match because I starting to think you have hated me because I am a girl.

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Good for you. You can do whatever move a trainer asks you to do, and you can get by just fine with five other Pokemon and a human's supplies backin' you up. Newsflash, girlie: that ain't got shit to do with actually livin' in the wild. Charmander packs stay together for years, too, but they SPLIT UP. Because they don't want to DIE.

Oh, silly Charitard. I hate you because you're you. The only thing I'm gonna do because you're a girl is have steamy hatesex.

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:35 am (UTC)(link)
Die? What do you think our species has been doing in the wild recently? Do you think all of those lights are glad that they stuck to the wild Charizard code? Look how well it's been working so far!

Well glad to know there's no sexism involved...wait. But uh, you go get Nyx and I'll get Max and it's going to be a party. We could even bring Vinnie along.

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you mean the ones that are robbin' picnickers outta desperation?

Hey I'm an equal-opportunity hater. Sexy hate parties it is.

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:42 am (UTC)(link)
Because they need to find a better food source. Maybe we can check if there's an yearly crossing of several animals and figure out a traveling route from there...

Should we also bring that shy guy friend of yours he seems pretty hot.

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
Again: a Charizard's gotta have territory. It ain't like a convenient herd of slow, overweight Tauros is gonna wander by and lead 'em all to the Meat Dimension or some shit. I told you, Route 11 was my turf for years. I know what kinda game it's got to offer.

No never our hatelove is too pure

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
...so how long were you a Charizard in the wild?

Oh who am I to touch pure virgin love then. He shall be spared.

Like there's any difference between bein' a Charmeleon in the wild and bein' a Charizard.

Most kind of you, fair lady

[personal profile] punchvolcanoes 2011-05-21 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
Says the guy who just explained to me how a Charmeleon and a Charmander were different in the wild. I'm not saying that you're completely wrong. But ever think you might not be completely right either?

[identity profile] blazinglizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-21 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
Even you hafta know the difference between a Charmander and the rest of our line. Maybe your little brain's too shrivelled to know it, but at least your precious documentaries ought've told you Charmanders are social, but THE REST OF US AIN'T.

Look, I know what works. Remember when you found me on Route 10? I sure as shit wasn't walkin' around in human form stoppin' at burger joints, or whatever the fuck you were pullin'.
