A loud roar followed by a crash is heard in the middle of the night at the nearby woods. Not long after, firelight glimmers faintly through the trees and smoke can be seen above them. It doesn't seem to be spreading and points more towards a possible campfire. Venturing closer allows you to find said campfire along with three creatures. The largest of the three happens to be a large dragon seemingly fussing at the smallest creature in the area who seems to be tending to it. The second largest is a mech of sorts, lifeless aside from the glow coming from some of it's areas. The third and last creature you can see is an armor clad, green woman walking around both dragon and mech seemingly assessing their state. Her helm besides the fire seems just as unscathed as the rest of the armor which could be surprising considering the crash's evidence points at a rather bad one.

So far it seems she, or her companions have not noticed you.

Sometimes, on warmer nights, Sonny liked to sleep in the woods.

It wasn't that he disliked his bed or his room mate or anything like that. But there was an element of nostalgia for him, to roam off as a giant blue-grey bear and have a snooze in the undergrowth. Eat a few berry bushes. Gnaw on some pinecones. Sleep with a boulder for his pillow.

Normally it was pretty hard to wake him up when he slept as a Snorlax, and that crashing noise certainly wasn't a Pokeflute. However, it was LOUD and as such, it managed to rouse him from his slumber.

Heads up, Dargon, Robutt and Green Lady. There's a Snorlax ambling into your crash site to take a look at you.

The first to notice someone approaching was the dragon who then huffed in the direction of the creature. Ronnae's long ears twitched as she looked over as well, patting the dragon and hushing it as she moved a bit forward.

It didn't take her long to notice the creature and when she did it seemed she was more confused or curious than anything. She had never seen something like it but for some reason it didn't seem all that threatening... In fact, it kind of reminded her a weird and very rounded pandaren...

She still kept up her guard. If there's anything that's true back home, one of them would be how appearances can be very very misleading.

Sonny gave her a little wave in greeting. She was someone he'd never seen before. And the Dragon wasn't like anything he'd seen, either! Well, OK, maybe it looked a little bit like a druddigon. But not much.

"Lax?"

He spoke to the dragon, not sure if it spoke the same language as him. But it was a basic 'how's it going?' type greeting. He supposed he could turn into a Human to talk to the lady too, but he wanted to make sure the dragon and the robot were friendly first.

The dragon gave a hot huff before turning its attention elsewhere and the robot seemed unmoved by whatever the giant panda thing was.

The girl however tilted her head and cocked a brow curiously. "Ummm lax? As in relax? Or....?"

Aw. Snooty Dragon. Well, whatever. He gave it a cheerful wave anyway before turning his attention to the lady.

He shook his head. "Snorlax." he said slowly. Before realizing this was kind of dumb...

...and changing into a Real Boy.

"Hi! I'm a Snorlax! My name is Sonny Moe."

A shapeshifter? A druid maybe or something else. Ronnae took a step back and looked at him sternly for a moment.

"Snorlax? What's that?" Manners Ronnae....

"Err, right... Nice to meet you Sonny Moe." Ronnae replied quickly with a curt bow. "My name's Ronnae. Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos." she added with another bow.

"Ooh! You have a long name!" Sonny replied, bowing back. He wasn't used to bowing in greeting but that was OK.

"A Snorlax is a kind of Pokémon! Pokémon are special Monsters who live in one of the Pokémon regions and sometimes they travel with and battle alongside a trainer. My trainer's name is Red and he's the best trainer that there ever was."

It is important you understand this.

"I think maybe your friends there aren't Pokémon?" The Robot sort of looked like a metallic Golurk.

"It's my family name, yes." Then again she never really added her titles to it either or the name would be longer... "Pokémon?" she voiced curiously. "I don't believe I've ever heard of those before..." Though the way he explained it almost felt like he was talking about teams, or maybe pet battling like there was in her home. Though no pet she knew of was anywhere the size of this one.

At the question though she shook her head. "No, they're not."

"Probably that's why they don't understand what I was saying. It's OK, guys!" Sonny said, waving again to the dragon.

"Anyway, if you ever come to the school, you'll get to meet a lot of Pokémon. And all sorts of other different people and creatures! I don't think I ever saw someone who looked like you before."

Green and with pointy ears and hey - her tusks were a little bit like his!

"More than likely. Dragons are very intelligent though I don't believe they know every language. And Crim is kind of stubborn anyways, so even if he did he probably wouldn't have acknowledged you." To which the dragon huffed again and curled up in a resting position, closing his eyes.

Ronnae laughed a little before turning back to Sonny with a small smile. So far so good, he seemed friendly enough. "School? There's a school all the way out here?" She looked around and in the distance she noticed a few structures. Or at least the tips of them.

"Yeah-huh! It's where I go to school. It's called Smash Academy. You should come and enroll!" he replied happily. "They let anyone come and enroll and then you can go to classes and learn stuff. Your friends, too! They could even become people if they wanted to, like I do."

"I.... haven't had the best experiences when it comes to school... I don't know if..." She rather not bring those memories up and decides to face away and tend to the dragon.

"I doubt Crim would care about turning humanoid. He can already do that as a dragon and refuses to unless absolutely needed. And my mech is my creation. It's technically not alive, other than the automation from magic." she added, idly pointing at the large mech.

"Ohhh. Well, if you don't want to that's OK. But it's really great! Probably whatever bad stuff happened at your old school wouldn't happen here. Everyone is really nice!"

Well, not really, Sonny. But that's your take on it so go with it I guess?

"Your Robot could make friends too. Even if he's not properly alive. There's lots of robots at the school. And there's some dragons for Crim to meet. Like my Sister!"

Be nice to him, Crim, and he'll introduce you to his pretty Sister. Then forbid you to date her. For reasons.

"Are they?" Why did she have a feeling that this person/creature just overestimated people's kindness... Or maybe he was just too nice himself.

Though the prospect of new tech at the mention of robots being around piqued her interest.

"Lots of robots you say?" Maybe she could research them! Learn new things and tech to add to her extensive repertoire!

As for the dragon comment... "I... don't think Crim cares much for other dragons, though I'm sure he wouldn't mind the company..."

"Yeah-huh! Lots of robots. Like at least three that I can think of and there's actually probably even more than that. I don't know every robot."

He hadn't yet met every single robot. Was Delta a robot? He wasn't sure.

"Well, if he doesn't like to hang out with other dragons, there's probably lots of places for him to be alone. Or hunt. I know some dragons who like to hunt. Which is nice. Especially when they share."

Fresh caught bunny with a liberal striping of ranch dressing in it's fur? Yeah, Sonny likes that.

See now you were speaking her language Sonny. You can even tell in her eyes that she might have reconsidered going to that school after all. Though Crim rolling his eyes suggested that he sort of expected that once tech was mentioned.

"Well... maybe I can look around and such before making a final decision as to attend said school..." But the robots!

Ronnae chuckled and looked over at Crim. "He's... never been very social. But I'm sure he'll find something to do."

"You should come and take a look! I can show you now, if you want me to?"

Sonny was always eager to show new people what a great place his current home was!

"I.... I'll think on it okay?"

Gotta understand Sonny, Azeroth has plotters, conivers, cutthroats and everything in that regard that can pose just as jolly as you.

Little did Ronnae realize she had just run into literally the least duplicitous person in the multiverse.

"Aw. OK. I was going to show you the cafeteria! Probably there's still plenty of leftovers. But if you want to wait till it's daytime or something, that's probably best anyway! Because most people are asleep right now at the school."

He yawned widely. Man. He should really be asleep too.

When she's seen what she's seen, anyone can be suspicious!

"It's okay, no worries really... I'm sure I'll still take a look into it." If anything to see if there would be anything she could learn from the tech in this world.

"Are you going to sleep out here in the woods?" Sonny asked, looking around. There really wasn't much that looked suitable for a ladies' bed. "Or were you going to stay awake around the fire? Oh man if I'd known I would of bought stuff for making s'mores..."

"Probably. I'm very used to it." Considering in war times you took what you could and slepts where you could.

You'd never believe the places she's had to sleep in Sonny.

A smile went up as she looked over at him. "S'mores would have been pretty great, yeah."

"I came out here to sleep, too. I have a bed in the school but sometimes I like to sleep in the woods."

He scratched at his stubble.

"I can go and get us some berries, if you want? It's not as good as s'mores but they're still tasty."

"Berries sound pretty good right about now. Thank you very much." It was polite at least. Even if she would have rather be along to gauge her situation, he did seem nice so far.

Crim on the other hand could really care less... Berries... really? He huffed.

"Be back soon!"

He morphed back into a gigantic bear and ambled off into the woods. It was easier for him to sniff out ripe berries this way. Plus, he had more room to hold them in longer arms.

And true to his word, he really didn't take long. It was late spring - here was plenty of fruit to be found. Not all of it was perfectly ripe but hey, sometimes that made fruit a little better, when it was a touch on the tart side.

Be that as it may, someone certainly noticed them. Or rather, someTHING.

A black and white teddy bear peeked out from behind a tree at the new arrivals. Someone new to play with...

Said bear-thing caught her attention quick as she turned when the dragon's attention turned to the creature as well.

That was an odd bear... then again coming from Azeroth, bears tended to be very very odd at times.

"Hello?" she called out to the teddy, maybe it knew how to talk.

The odd teddy bear waddled out from behind the tree, approaching the crowd. It looked up at her, before answering, "That's a really nasty crash you got there! Upupu!"

Ronnae smiled a bit awkwardly, rubbing the back of her neck before responding.

"Yeah well.... I hate to admite that it's not the worst we've had."

"You could have died! But maybe that would have been for the best," the creepy teddy bear suggested, shrugging and turning away. "You landed in a place that doesn't exactly like people who aren't human, you know!" he commented nonchalantly.

Hasn't she wished to have died many times in the past? But that's all it's been... behind her and not something she has wished for in a while. "One of those places...." Ronnae voiced low followed with a sigh.

"Is there a war of sorts? I...." Now that it points more and more towards the fact that she might be in Azeroth anymore. "I came from somewhere where different races, factions, fought each other all the time..." She hoped the bear was making it sound worse than it was.

"Really?" Monokuma asked, completely ignoring her question. "Why would you ever wanna leave there? Upupupu! Maybe you're here to start your war here too! Please don't hurt me, my stuffing is very delicate!"

"What?! N-no I would never!" she said in shock.

"Why would I want to start a war here? I... I wouldn't! And I wouldn't hurt you, I promise." Not unless you hurt her Mr. Weird Panda Bear.

Which could very well happen. Not that SHE knew that. Yet.

"I hardly know you!" Monokuma insisted, shrugging and turning his back on her. "For all I know, you like to eat cute, adorable, sexy bears like me, and I'm putting my life on the line just by talking to you!" But all the while, that grin never left the teddy bear's face.

"What?! N-no! I wouldn't! I mean, I love hunting but I wouldn't eat you." she said in shock. All the while the dragon simply shook it's head and laid facing the other way.

"Do you get threatened often?" she now asked curiously.

"Nope! I'm usually the one doing the threatening! Upupupupu!" the bear laughed in its creepy voice.

Okay, that caught her off guard and definitely put her on it as well.

"What do you mean?" She was going to take a guess and say that it was maybe as a defense mechanism. Many times small creatures that were afraid took on a threatening stance in order to ward off predators.

"Oh, you know how it goes," Monokuma explained, shrugging nonchalantly. "Spreading despair, destroying lives, forcing people to kill each other for entertainment... And looking good while doing it!" he declared.

....

Ronnae gripped the hilt of her blade as her eyes narrowed.

"I think we're done here sir."

"Puhuhu! Threatening me? That's not a pretty smart idea! Besides, what's the big deal?" he asked, turning to her, the red eye on his left side glowing.

"I mean, you went for that sword pretty fast! You've probably killed a lot of people before! Did they deserve it? Hmmm?" he asked, never losing his composure.

Her hand stayed at her sword and she looked at him, "It's not a threat. I'm not going to move towards you or attack you if that's what you're worried about." she stated plainly.

"I have, and many did.... Some, not so much... But where I come from things are..." They're not different, no... "Complicated."

"I simply rather not dwell on those things and avoid those who enjoy causing them." Even that was a bit hypocritical... She knew she enjoyed the thrill of battle. At times lusted for it. But... she didn't want to think on that right now.

"Oooh, war? Blood vengeance? Like those movies where the cop's buddy dies and he goes on a rampage to kill the crooks responsible?" Monokuma rattled off, not particularly caring whether Ronnae got any of his references or not.

"Doesn't sound that complicated to me! Senseless killing is such great despair after all! If you keep your weapons around, you must really miss it!"

"It's habit! And no... I... I don't.... I don't enjoy it..." Not the fact that innocents die in throves every day cause of the wars...

"And no, not generally in vengance... It's... the world I'm from has been at war for many years...." One war after another with barely any rest in between...
