diasirae:

At first, Light is expecting these creatures that El describes to be something like Shinigami; sinister, and otherworldly. Or something from out of a comic book or a fairy tale. He almost questions the technology El has with the red and white ball, but his attention is quickly pulled away. What he is greeted with is…really cute. 

He tentatively holds out his hand to greet the creature to allow it to smell him. He knows that’s common practice for most animals, anyway. 

“Slyveon, huh…? I can see how it resembles a fox, yeah. It’s kind of cat-like, too.”  Furthermore, this “Sylph” looks intelligent, and totally trusting of El to tolerate being stored inside of a capsule of some sort. It’s fascinating, and what El says has Light’s undivided attention once again. 

“Are you suggesting that the goats are Pokemon, then? Since a Pokemon created your world, I suppose it isn’t out of the question.” 

  『 Perhaps. 』

It’s really not likely, but it’s not impossible, and they have to admit as such.  As Sylph begins to sniff at Light, and eventually curl around his legs and demand pets, El begins to mumble to themself, puzzling through the question.

  『 However, these goats seem...different. Their powers derive from worldly        sources, rather than the moves and abilities that normal Pokemon often        share. And while it’s true that some Pokemon can control the universe, this        is supposedly a world outside of Arceus’s sphere of influence, and I doubt        there are any as powerful as Him, even with a PULSE system....however,        that would explain the sudden dimensional rearrangement, but what about        the...... 』

They trail off and glance back at Light apologetically.

  『 Apologies, I was just thinking about how possible that would be. I don’t think        they’re Pokemon, however. If they were, then it would be possible to capture        them, and I doubt they could be caught in a world such as this. 』

diasirae:

The name definitely takes Light by surprise; just hearing it almost makes him want to laugh. But, he keeps himself composed and hardly reacts to it outwardly. 

“…They’re goats, yes–they would be livestock to someone like me, and certainly are not deities…but they appear human to us. Or so I’ve gathered. I only just got here.” Light doesn’t know how to respond to El’s speculation initially. Goats are unfamiliar to them, so what sort of creatures come from their world of origin? Light will allow himself to lose focus for just a brief amount of time. It’s only polite conversation, that’s all. Large hail stones continue to beat against the pavement and roof outside, but the noise soon fades into the background. 

“…But now I’m curious, if it’s alright to ask. You come from a place where you’ve never heard of goats. What would be familiar to you?” 

   『 Pokemon. 』

They say it matter of factly before pulling out a small red and white ball. Clicking the button in the middle, it expands before releasing a red light, which soon takes the shape of a pink bipedal Pokemon. Syl, is its cry. Sylveon?

  『 In your world, creatures such as goats act as livestock, but we only have a        select one or two species for that. In most cases, Pokemon are our friends        and allies, in life and in battles. 』

The bipedal Pokemon at El’s feet curls around their legs and intertwines one long ribbon with one of El’s arms before trotting over to Light to inspect him carefully.

  『 This is Sylph; his species is Sylveon, and I believe that in your world, the        equivalent would be a fox? 』

They vaguely remember the Pokedex calling Eevee a fox-like Pokemon, so they assume that is the case.

  『 Likewise, our One Creator, He with One Thousand Arms, Arceus, takes the        forme of something similar to a goat. That is one aspect of our religion, and        that is why I’m not as surprised to see one of His kind ruling over the        islands. 』

diasirae:

That certainly was a lot more information than Light could have hoped for. He had the assumption that everyone here came from different points in time and space–even the current date here is inconsistent with Light’s own timeline. Jarring as it is to be brought to a crossroads, Light can’t be too rattled by it. He knows of the Shinigami, and their realm, after all.  Light remains unperturbed, smiling politely–a practiced persona of being friendly and unassuming. 

“The deities…you mean the goat gods, right?” Light feels so silly–almost embarrassed referring to animals as gods. When in Rome…  “My name is Light Yagami, by the way. Light is fine.” He has to assume that the person is entirely foreign to Japanese formalities as well, so a generic introduction will suffice. “Have you been here for very long?” 

    『 El. It is nice to make your  acquaintance, Light. 』

Their introduction is brief enough - although they wonder slightly if Yagami is Kantonese, like their name sounds - before diving into the metaphorical meat and potatoes of the conversation.

    『 No; I’ve only been a few days here, but yes, I am referring to the....are they         called goats? I have seen similar beasts in my world, but nothing exactly         identical to those.....creatures.』

El actually isn’t that surprised at how caprine the gods on this island appear; after all, in their world, the One Creator looked similar. What’s more intriguing is the fact that Light seems to have come from a world where Arceus, or equivalents thereof, weren’t the formes that the world’s God took. After all, if one were to be familiar with gods that took the form of goats, they would not be ‘goat gods’- simply ‘gods’ in general.

Like or reply for a starter from El, because I need to do stuff with them!

[diasirae]

While no one he has met today has been particularly helpful, Light was able to figure out on his own that he is stuck here for an indeterminate amount of time. This is not part of his plan. For whatever reason, he has been pulled from his home and his life, and the rest is all out of his hands. 

As frustrating as it is, he has to keep himself calm. For now, he has been assigned a temporary residence on one of the islands. He will have to learn this new place quickly if he has any hope of regaining control. 

But, it would seem that fate has other plans. As soon as the boat arrives on Keanu, the dark clouds churning overhead begin dropping pellets of hail. The first to fall are easy to ignore, and Light continues on his way to his new address–but before long, the hail becomes heavy. Light as no choice but to slip inside one of the many book stores lining the street. It looks as though other residents had the same idea, and Light makes an effort to be friendly to the first person he sees. 

“It got pretty bad out there, didn’t it? I’ve never seen anything quite like it.” 

As much as Light hates to be reduced to discussing something as mundane as the weather, it’s better to suck in his pride for now.

El had never seen hail before; it never really got cold enough to so much as snow in Hoenn, and Reborn had so many pollution issues that any kind of precipitation was dangerous for one’s health. That was the reason why they had decided to sit in the bookstore and watch the icy pellets crack on the street while drinking their tea instead of reading the book on Solitude’s history that they had initially entered the bookstore for- until this man had decided to come up to them and initiate small talk.

     『 Indeed. Ice falling from the sky is....rather unheard of, is it not? 』

El takes a closer look at the man and take a small sip of their hot tea before continuing. He doesn’t particularly seem like the kind of person to be interested in the weather, of  all things, if his state of dress is in any way an indicator of his personality.

     『 Where I come from, this type of weather is impossible, but I wouldn’t be           surprised if the deities of this world were more, ah, spontaneous with their powers. 』

    『 I don’t DO hugs.』
