Hi! I'm Ike!

I know some people here are from worlds that are a lot more technologically advanced than Nippon. If you brought your phone with you, it's probably dead by now, right?

I can charge them for you!

I'm a Thunder eleman, which probably doesn't mean a lot to any of the people here, but I can create and control electricity! It's the only way I ever charge mine.

I know some people would probably like having pictures or messages from home, or an easy camera, even if that's all they can be now. And after everything that happened earlier, I thought it'd be a nice way to get to know more people.

Linkpearls?
Is that more of a magic thing than a technology thing?

[protectorofsmiles]

Yeah!! You put them in ur ear and you talk and when they talk you can hear them, even if they're across the world!!

Well in my case u just kinda...press it against ur horns hahahahahah!!!!!but it's still cool you can charge these techy things! Is there any loss when u do? Like it drains ur energy or something?

That almost sounds better than a phone! Our phones back home had pretty limited range, since not every city used them.

But... sorta! I naturally produce a lot of electricity, so I have to discharge it every day or so or I'll build up static. It doesn't really make me tired unless I'm doing something really big like making a thunderstorm.

[tl;dr he's a pikachu.]

I guess you could say it's kind of a mutual benefit? And it'd be nice to use the electricity I make for something useful. Back home, we all use it to power the city.

that sounds super cool!! I don't reelly know of anything I need charged, but I know granny has been having some troubles with her oven getting low on power recently. And she needs that for her products! Maybe there's something u can do?

[electricalburn]

I think you'd have better luck calling a repair man for that?
Unless something is battery powered, it'll stop working as soon as I stop using my element on it.

oh, huh

Say wats a battery?

[electricalburn]

[Give Ike a minute here, he's now trying to think of how to explain this to someone who may lack a lotof knowledge about technology.]

A battery is something capable of holding an electric charge, which is used to power electronic devices. It's usually made of a combination of certain metals.

Batteries let you use something without it being plugged in. Like the oven you're talking about. There's probably a cord in the back that connects to the wall, right? That's where it's getting the electricity, from a system of wires that connect the entire city.

But unless something is designed to work with batteries, you can't just attach it to one. It needs constant electricity to work.

So I'd have to hold onto the plug the whole time to power it.

I have no idea what you just said but it sounds like ya can't help me with the oven? Oh well, I'll look for another way. Can't have u standing there powering the oven forever hahaha!!! U sound a lot like Cid to be honest

[WELL HE TRIED]

Cid? Is that a friend of yours?
