Aside from her new ears (perched atop her head), her hair color, length, and the snazzy new tails, nothing else seems to have changed. Well, her eye color changed a bit too. Regardless of whatever color they were before, they are now a bright blue. Though Lia does feel strangely warm inside. It's unclear as to why, but likely it has something to do with being a hybrid Ninetales. This feeling is most assuredly going to be her "inner flame" that allows her to launch fire type attacks. Not that she knows how to access it, obviously. Nor would it be a good idea to go trashing the nice, if plain, room she's staying in. The only real questions that remain are: 'How much of (her) is still human?', and 'What happens now?'.

Lia feels like she's not even Lia anymore. every little thing about her has been tweaked. Hair, eyes, and the more obvious changes. She feels miserable, and fucking pissed. And seeing as there's no known cure, she's like this for a while. And even then she still feels guilty cause unlike her two hybrid friends (Well at least one is), she got off just being some horny scientists dream girl rather than something drastic like no human arms or an inability to live in any warmth. (Although it has occured to Lia on several occasions that Glaceon would be able to survive normal conditions or else they'd be useless in battle...)
Not to mention to how long it's been or how long she'll now be stuck here. If she's unable to even defeat one goon without having trouble, then having no team and a body she doesn't even recognize means she has no chance of getting out of here on her own. And the second she does she's just going to get yelled at by the others for 'doing this on purpose' even though she didn't want to. But now it looks like she has. Great.
Lia sulks against the wall, trying to move her new appendages out of the way, feeling a growing fire in her. Although she's unsure if that's anger or her new abilities.

After an undetermined amount of time, the door to her room opens. Nobody enters, it just opens, as if inviting her to come out. She could be petulant and continue to sulk in her room, but that's not really getting her anywhere. May as well see what's on the other side. Lia steps outside into what looks like a training room. The walls bear numerous battle scars, and there look to be indents in said walls that likely hide some sort of target dummies or the like. Looking up and around, Lia notices that the walls extend nearly 30 meters up, and where they end, large observation windows can be seen. There are figures moving about up there, but she can't make them out. Just then, the door back to her room suddenly shuts, effectively trapping her in this room until she finishes whatever task they want her to finish or something.
A voice comes over the intercom. "Greetings, Subject #09847124-3A. It is good to see have finally awakened. Right on schedule too. Today's exercise is learning how to utilize your new abilities. As I'm sure you've discovered by now, you are a Ninetales. You have exactly 50% Pokemon DNA within you, if you were curious. In a few moments, a target will appear from one of these spaces on the walls. Your task is to throw an Ember attack at it. This will continue until you are told otherwise, with a break of five minutes for every hour you spend practicing. Failure to comply is ill-advised. There is no time limit at this time. Begin."
Without even waiting for Lia to think up a response or more questions to ask, a solitary target slides out of the wall about 4 meters away.

Lia clenches her fists together. She wants nothing more than to scream in anger at them, ask them why the hell they'd do this... but she knows she'd get no answer. She has no power over this conversation. Best not to give them a word.
She turns to the dummy, and tries throwing her hands out to fling that inner fire she feels.

It takes some effort, but Lia manages to create a weak flame in her hands and hurl it towards the dummy. Unfortunately, there wasn't a lot of power behind the first one, and it peters out before even reaching the target. Naturally, she tries again and again, growing frustrated and angry at both her circumstances as well as her inability to get even the simplest of Fire-Type moves down. After all, if Gym Leaders (who are otherwise normal people) can throw Pokemon Elements around like they're nothing, they certainly Lia, with 50% Ninetales DNA in her, can do it too! So, she continues.
With each successive attempt, it becomes easier and easier to access that 'inner flame' and throw proper Ember attacks around. She gets so into the zone after awhile that she is actually startled briefly when a buzzer sounds and the target disappears, signalling an hour has passed. This happens four more times before the door to her room re-opens. So that means she spent four hours practicing Ember. Wait..something seems different about her room; and not just the fact that the bed has been made up again. Wait, there it is, a small table with... FOOD!

When the buzzer sounds it shocks Lia out of the 'zone' she was in. She was still pissed and lost her chance to mouth off, too into trying to get her new powers working. She just walks out back to her 'room' and sees she has food set aside. Suppressing another growing urge to scream out of frustration, she just sits down and begins to eat.

The food isn't the best, but it's not the bland, tasteless crap she might have expected. Just a simple bit of meat and potatoes. Nothing fancy, but definitely filling. Of course, there having been no other exits that Lia saw from the 'training room', that means there must be some secret exit from within her 'bedroom' itself. Kinda creepy, but also something worth noting.

After eating, she pushes the plate away and begins pacing the room. She can't just sit there and wait. There's nothing in this room, her team is seperated from her and Arceus knows where. She's in a sanitized room and SOMETHING is getting stuff in here when she was out there blasting.

After just nothing going for a while, Lia begins to pace. There's NOTHING in here to keep her distracted besides trying to escape or train her powers. She flips between pacing back and forth and trying to search the room. She's a combination of frustrated, pissed, depressed, and bored that's building like a powder keg in her and she's ready to explode.

After some length of time, Lia's anger and frustration burn themselves out (for now), leaving her to just curl up in bed for awhile. She must have fallen asleep at some point because the next thing she knows she's waking up again. There is also food again. Same stuff as before, except this time it's bacon and eggs. So that means... breakfast? Is it morning? Not like there's any way of knowing short of someone telling her.

Lia's been quiet all this time. Hoping that being silent would prevent them from using anything she said against her. Or maybe just lull them into safety. But it's only been a day and she's losing it in here. She needs out!
"Ok you've had your fucking fun! I'm not an Arcues-damned pet for you to keep fed and trained! I hope whatever scientist oogling me as their Ninetails captive girlfriend is watching because I want them to know I will FUCKING KILL THEM for this!"
Lia blasts the 'door' a few times with ember in a rage.
"You've just given me a weapon I shouldn't have! I'll shove my hand so far down your throats and BURN YOUR INSIDES! You hear me!"
She turns to the food, blasting that across the room.
"Fuck your 'hospitality'! Probably some obedience drug or some shit anyway!"

Lia gets no response. None at all. And now she's ruined her breakfast. Her stomach decides now is the perfect time to protest that action. Lia is very hangry now. The door opens at some point after she's worn herself out. Naturally, all it does is lead to the 'training' room. If she doesn't leave, it simply closes after a few minutes and leaves her stuck in her room again.

Lia is hungry but she was trying her best to make a point, and quiets her stomach. As the door opens, the only thing she's allowed to do is opened for her. She steps into the room again, trying to calm herself.

Lia gets a slightly tougher "Ember Practice" course compared to last time. There are more dummies to hit, and they move now.

"Alright, so hit my targets. Fine."
Lia conjures the biggest ember she can make, looks at the targets... then looks at HER targets. She throws the ember at the observatory window, followed by a few others.

The embers crash against barriers of some kind, doing no damage to the windows at all, and seeming to not even startle those on the other side. So much for that plan then, eh?

"What's the matter? I thought I was supposed to be down here to train? To hit the targets I"M SUPPOSED TO HIT. ...right?"
Lia chucks a few more embers and bares her new fangs.

Nobody says anything, they just continue to observe even as Lia throws more and more embers at the barriers protecting the windows. Eventually, these embers turn into a single, long stream of fire. A flamethrower, if you will. (Lia learned Flamethrower!)

Lia growls (If it's on purpose because she thinks its appropriate or accidental thanks to 50% foxy DNA, who can tell) as the fire turns into a stream of firey death at the barrier covering the window. She holds it for as long as she can before the effort + lack of food makes her weak in the knees and she collapses as the fire stops. She pants and holds her head.
"Fuck your tests. I ain't your test subject. If it's 'inadvisable' to not obey, then come down her and fucking make me."

"Very well." Is all she gets before a new door opens up and another hybrid walks in. This one is a Poliwrath, and a guy, surprisingly. He rolls his shoulders and cracks his knuckles before approaching Lia. He grabs her by her hair and punches her in the gut as hard as he can, knocking out what little air she had left in her lungs.
