[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Lord Windos]

"Mew, Emily.  What are your thoughts on this? You've got stakes in this discussion, after all, so let's hear what you think."

Emily, who had quietly overheard the entire conversation, was very mixed up about this sudden turn about in expectations. Surprise, pity, sorrow, and ugly anger clouded her mind as she processed the fact that, while Archie actions and 'treatment' of her were a grade S Monster tier atrocity to even hardened criminals like Giovanni, he was entirely remorseful for his transgressions and ready to do for someone with all his heat and soul. The psychic legendary, noticing that it would take a few minutes for the little miss to craft a suitable response, decided to speak up first on her view of the matter.

'I honestly don't have much of a problem with this decision of his, actually. Archie is certainly not walking out of here alive regardless of what course of action is decided upon, so offering to commit suicide by having your soul ripped out and used as resurrection fuel is just as viable way for him to die as a bullet through the head or a knife in the jugular. One that is particularly painful to endure AND does some measure of good for someone that simply ended up colatorial damage in his capture, so it satisfies everyone desires of revenge plus give him a chance for redemption for his crime. I'm perfectly happy to conduct the revival if its possible...if both you and Emily agree to it. Might be cruel to deny this to him, but he DID take away a friend of her as well, so its not unreasonable to go 'An Eye for an Eye' route.'

The eyes of everyone turned to the little girl in question, who started to figited even more at the attention, forced herself still for and took a deep, DEEP breath, before letting it out slowly, trying to dispel her jumbled up anxiety to a degree. She then slowly began to speak, her words heated and EXTREMELY terse. "You are mean, horrible, sonofabitch Archie. You killed me, Smeargle, and nearly caused the people I love to suffer like you are! I should say no, and let you die, feeling the same loss as I did when I saw my Pokémon SPLATTERED ACROSS THE WALL. ....But even if you deserve hell for your actions, your Ninetales doesn't, and I don't want to be anything like you: cruel, haughty, self-righteous, and  a cunt. I want you gone, dead, and out of ours lives forever, but I don't to stoop to your awful level if there is another way for you to pay for what you did. Especially if it prevents them from suffering what could have been my outcome...." Archie really didn't have anything witty or pithy response to her words, and just kept mum, his eyes averted from them. The little miss then turned to you, and gave you a wobbly nod, a little exauhsted and burnt out from her emotional tirade.

*Sniff* I'm ok mister., so  please don't worry about me...I'll be fine. Give them what he wants. That bastard is right about one thing: Kyubi doesn't deserve to die like HE does, so let him die for her."

[Dragonstrike]

"Very well then.  Let me warn you, Archie.  It's going to be a painful experience.  Much more painful than anything we could possibly do to you physically.  If you're willing to go through that for Kyubi, though, then so be it.

"So, let me ask you one more time for good measure: Are you certain you want to go through with this?"

[Spiritmon]

"Thinking better I think I stick just with the healing items. Its more then enough for now. I already have a good weapon with me." Say Arial to the old man. When he was thinking about finish the deal Gaspar who was in his shoulder jump and go in the direction of that man. He made a curious looks from his four eyes just like he try to see something. Then he begin rubbed himself on the merchant's leg."Heh, looks like Gaspar like you. He dont usually do that for everyone."

"So, let me ask you one more time for good measure: Are you certain you want to go through with this?"

Archie was silent for a good minute as he mulled over both your and Emily's words (Mew's communication going straight over his head, though he did notice you could talk to her [Not that it helped]) , his eyes closed in what feels to be slight grief over what he has done. When he opened, they were filled with cold, diamond hard determination, and he gave you a firm nod of his head. "Yes. I'm willing to suffering an endless, unabating amount of pain if it means that she can breath once more, and experience the life she deserve to live. My life is forfeit regardless of the method or time, so if I am to die, let it be for the one I love more than anything else in this world and the next. This....is the only good I am for anymore. Without Kyubi, my life has no purpose, no meaning, no...happiness or passion. Except this choice of my. With my death, I can give life to my beloved, and with that is the only motivation, the only scrap of desire I have left. Please, let's just get this over with. For both you, and for me."

The Merchant just shrugs at your change of mind and takes the Rolex and $1150 Poke from you, handing you the medical items requested and leaving you with just $350 Poke left from your original amount. The mimic sudden attraction to their leg surprises them for a bit, before they just let out a chuckle and shook their head, reaching down to scratch them behind their ears. "You know, this is the third time this weak, if we don't count Pixie Sticks, that some cat Pokémon has taken some interest in me, for whatever reason. Hehehe....might turn into a crazy cat lady at this rate, if this keeps up. Or maybe I already am? Who knows, but the felines themselves, hehehehehe!"

"Alright, let me inform the Merchant of our decision then so we can get the proper setup in place."

Reiner goes to the door and knocks.  When it opens, he says, "Tell the Merchant we need Archie's Ninetales and her pokeball.  We have a particularly painful experience planned for him, and we need both him and his well preserved Ninetales in close proximity to each other to do it."

When the door closes again, Reiner turns back to Archie.  "So, there are two more issues we need to discuss while we wait.  The first is what we're going to do with Kyubi should we manage to resurrect her.  I can't simply let her go, unfortunately.  Being half pokemon, half human would raise too many questions from the wrong people.  Archie, I need to ask if it's fine for her to come with me, both for her own safety and mine.  I promise you I won't mistreat her, nor involve her in those 'criminal activities' you didn't want Yggdrasil to encounter if she does end up coming with me.  I also still have Raijin (you're welcome for saving his life from those burns when you abandoned him, by the way), so she'll have at least one friendly face around."

[Spiritmon]

"Yeah, I know how it is. I looks like a magnet with cats. I already have two cats members in my team. And both of them came to me!" Chuckle Arial feeling the previous tension disapear. This merchant its in true a nice guy. A little crazy and try to kill him, but Arial is crazy too and almost die all the time with everything who breaths: that guy yesterday when he was rob, the Xenoqueen, the battle between Valerie and Reiner. This Merchant make he remember someone Arial know in the past. The only human he ever care. "You know, you remind someone I know before. You are a nice guy. Sorry again about what I say before. And thanks again about the bussiness. Do you mind if I wait here a little bit? Dont want to make Reiner even more mad he already is. I kinda kick his face this morning after he put fire in my jacket and hat."

The guard just shrugged at you declaration - its not the first time someone has used a Person's Pokémon corpse to emotionally break someone - flashes some hand signs which meaning still baffles you, before walking off to do as you asked. If you could say anything about them (Besides how bloodly mysterious they act), the are obedient and efficient.

Archie Sterling looked more than a bit miffed when he learned that Kyubi would be shackled to you for the unforeseeable future, and you could almost feel that he would say something provocative or equally rash, but he just let out a tired sigh in the end and instantly deflated. He knew that you more or less had him at his complete mercy and generousity, so arguing it out with you would be both pointless and counterproductive to what he actually wants.

"Fine. Neither I or her have much of a choice, if she if to get a second shot at life. I have a penthouse suit in city at The Aurum Vexillum , for business and pleasure vacations here. They don't ask questions or raise a fuss so long as they get paid, so don't about attention from them or the authorities. Tell them that Archie Sterling has transferred the room to them, tell them "Fox Fire" when asked for an authentication code, and tell them that the room is reserved until further notice under your name, and give them the relevant bank information for the Third Bank account I gave you (He gave you the info of the 8 Personal Accounts he had, what instituation they hosted at, how to gain access and transfer ownership to you, what investment/business they were associated etc..) when they ask for how you will pay for it. Rooms are sound proofed and have numerous protections and anti-spy measures in place, so its the safest place for both you and Kyubi, if you are going to be responsible for her wellbeing.... "

"Raijin....she'll appreciate seeing him, but I'm not so sure the same can for him. He's more apathetic than me right now, and just lazes around when he's not called to battle, where he gets serious. If he ever became motivated or cared about anything,  I doubt it would be started by Kyubi coming back into his life, but he'll get along with her fine. Oh, and I honestly thought when he took lethal damage, he just gave up and died, but I suppose that is another thing I was wrong about. I'm not that surprised, since that battle was a massive screwup on my part. Now...what is the second thing you wish to discuss, before I am re-united with my lover..."

"Ah, so we both share the same problem, if you can call attracting Cat Pokémon a bad thing! I'm also flattered that I remind you of some nice, considering I almost ripped you head from your bloody shoulders, hehehehehe! " they said, joining in with you mirth for just a moment, before they get a hold of themselves and answering your next inquiry.

"Hehehe....I don't mind you waiting here, Arial. Its not like this ally has a sign that says 'No Trespassers' written anywhere along it, so stick around as long you feel like. 'Course, the allies are filled with all sorts of interesting things and creatures, so best be prepared to run or fight if something decides to 'introduce themselves' to you. Oh, and thanks for filling me in on what you did to Reiner! That'll be interesting to bring up in a conversation with him later down the line, hehehe! Now, I have to get going and go check on your 'friend' and the misses is doing with that rich bastard. Be back in with them in a little while, so I hope you have something to entertain yourself with if your the easily bored sort!"

The Merchant then aburtly pivoted on their feet and briskly walked into the shadows, their footsteps trailing of as they went further and further into their inky depths....

Reiner's making sure to take careful notes concerning this in Archie's ledger again.  "Thank you for the cooperation.  I know it's not easy, but I assure you, this is so we can avoid unnecessary trouble later.  For everyone.  I'll do my best to help her adjust to the changes.  Now then, the second topic is about your personal artist.  Emily, did you happen to bring your sketchbook with you?"
