In the vacuum of space, a girl drifts.
She's gotten over the panicking at this point; she doesn't seem to be running out of air or freezing or burning to death right now. But she is very very lost, and doesn't remember where she came from
There isn't really much to do except look at the stars. Her clamshell's gone flat and it's not like she gets the Archive in space.
"Makes sense!" She smiles and follows along, tucking her wallet away again so she doesn't lose her cards on the way.
"So tell me about yourself! What were these conspiracies like, what else are you interested in, do you know what your type is — do people on your world even have types, actually?"
"You mean like redheads or blondes or girls with autism or authors or people who can recite pi?"
Sable blushes very faintly at Maya's tease before continuing. "What I mean, though, is a type affinity. Pokémon each have one or types — normal, grass, fire, flying, psychic, fairy, poison, ghost, and so on — and a lot of humans do too. It's not always easy to figure it out, though. The obvious sign is unusual abilities, like my psychic abilities, but other types can be more subtle. I never would've figured out my fairy-typing without Maya's help."
"Well, I got here somehow, but I don't know if it was something I did or something Arceus did. My last name is Songbird?"
"Suggests I should probably show you some flying types for possible starters, just at a guess. At least if that last name resonates with you at all. My last name is Orchid, but you'd think from that I'd be all about grass types, and I'm really not. I like 'em well enough, but not that much."
She pulls out her pokénav plus and pulls up the limited free pokédex app (no real scanning options, but enough to get pictures of most pokémon at least). She filters by flying type (and Hoenn availability, of course), and starts flipping from species to species, holding it out so Audrey can see.
"Oh! That one! The one that looks like it's half bird half marshmallow! It's perfect!"
"Ooh, Swablu is a cutie. Normal/Flying, evolves into Altaria, which is Dragon/Flying. And it's the right time of year that some might come down from the mountains if we head up onto route one-eleven. We'll check that out after we get you registered."
