Oz then close her cell, looking a little better. Not fully good, but...better. She turn her face towards Glinda/@Lord Windos, and see what she is thinking after her conversation with Seddi (since she was problably watching her sister have a conversation with him). She is problably thinking about something, but Oz will not say anything yet unless she spoke. 

(Up to you how is Glinda reaction about this entire conversation).

You certainly have the BIGGEST, MOST POWERFUL Catch as your G-Karp evolves into a GIGA GYARADOS.

Quake, landlubbers, for a World Menace of the Seas has been Born.

The Sailor Shela was rooted in place, starring up wide eyes and Paralyzed at what her competitor's 'weak' fish Evolved into. Grips the Grapploct literally shriveled up as the now GIGANTIC Sea Serpant slowly lowered its big, remarkably calm face in front of its 'foe' ....

And simply Looks at it.

INTIMIDATING LEER 4
STR (*5) + Fight (3) + Intimidate (6) - 8 Actions - 1 Pain + 2 Successes (Weak and SCARED @#$%less) = 5D6 Dice
(2)(1)(2)(6)(6)  + 2


....Grips scrambles to get away, goes up to their Trainer to steal their Ball back, before promptly diving back into the ocean, leaving his former Master to defend itself.

The Leviathan watches all this placidly, before letting out a dismissive huff as her 'foe' wisely escapes. She could have easily caught and devoured him whole, but because they played a role in finally enabling her Evolution she graciously decides to Spare them.

Their Trainer, on the other hand, who had INSULTED them....

G-Gyarados turned its calm yet baleful gaze upon the sailor, contemplating just what they were going to do to them. Said sailor, upon receiving their FULL ATTENTION, promptly pissed and shat her pants and collapses on her knees, a daze and fearful expression frozen on her face.

Perhaps forever, if 'your' Terror from the Deep decides it to be so.

Due to the Insight Roll, I'll give you Three Options to Choose From:

1) GTFO - Every man and Mon for himself! No longer a part of the Encounter, but in turn whatever happens will be Out of Your Control. The Law won't penalize you for this too - for a World Menace a certain amount of leeway is given when dealing with them, more so than ever for freshly Caught and Evolved ones.

2) Try to reason with G-Gyarados, or come up with one hell of a good bribe. Failing that, get ready to RUMBLE and try (and most likely Fail) to Return them and subsequently Fight them instead. Or straight up Challenge them now to distract and maybe defeat her.

3) Let Nature take its course - heck, encourage them too and Taunt the Sailor for added salt and terror value. Your Gut tells you this will earn you not a small amount of brownie points with your now most terrifying Mon, but you're pretty much going to be pulling (or allowing, if you don't act the part) a villain Move. Everyone else but the Beauty, Boy, and Fisherman is gone, so you don't have to worry about too many witnesses if you go Baddie, but that means you got to convince or otherwise deal with them if you don't want them to rat you out.

What will it be, Wake's Soul?

Glinda looks relieved and happy, in all honesty, simply giving you a nod and encouraging smile. Spending some time with your peers to get your mind off things and going somewhere to relax sounds like an excellent idea to her. The venue may not exactly be to her preferences - too loud and 'uncouth' for her - but from the memories she sees it may be just the place to just *let go* for a change.

As for the no doubt heavy conversation you're gearing up to have with the cowboy....she simply lays a comforting hand on your shoulder and a look of empathy and Understanding. If you Trust them enough to share that story of yours, then she supports you 100% .

Your Good Witch does give you a stern look though and sends you a Mental Picture of a glass of beer with a ' X ' over it. No Drinking - not after what happened to you last time and not when you were still recovering!

Now, let's Transition to the Afterlife , shall we?

**Scene Change**

@Dragonstrike

You two find yourselves at the underground bar once more, though getting there proved troublesome with all the people p a r t y i n g out in the streets. Seddi also appeared a bit jumpy - glancing around as if they expected something to pop out to ruin his day again. 

Thankfully nothing of the sort happens and you're waved in by the Ursaring bouncer, who is studiously trying to ignore the Bearartic hanging off his shoulders giving him moony eyes. Once in you see the bar is remarkably in order - well, for what counts as such here - with the patrons being more overexcited than usual but well behaved none the less. Maybe it was the burly Diggersby that was now patroling the place - you see him dragging an unconscious Punk to the door before throwing them out and dusting off their hands with a satisfied smile. 

Guess if you cause trouble you're getting The Bun today.

The dance floor was a hot mess of activity, as groups of man and Mon alike were tearing it up trying to win the crowd's and DJ's Appeal to Win it Big, while you can see some Tough looking Trainers being lead deeper into the building to where the Tourney was being held.

The Barkeep - same as ever, if a bit more tired yet energetic - looked up from their work and smirked as she saw you two enter.

"Well well, if it isn't the Dee-a-dee Cowboy and The Blushing Witch! Didn't know you'd take a Dive today, but I'm glad to have ya - even more so if you're spending or raising the roof. *Leers* You dropped the Dandy for the cowboy too, I see. Heh - good choice. That man is slick, but rootin tootin over there is a smooth operator of his own that knows how to keep the ladies pleased, heh."

Well, that's one way to describe the good raport you have with the Barkeep and the blind samurai you bought, Seddi.

"Enough jawing from me. What brings you two here this fine day?"

(I have a very bad and wrong feel about THAT roll. Should Bern better be afraid...? Because I surely am!)

Who knows? Who knows....

Onto the City Hall Scene indeeeeed !~

Oh dear heavens and sweet Arceus, if Bernhard wouldn't be so calm, collected and kuudere, he would quite likely faint of stage fright right now and right there on the spot (which would be a funny way in and of itself to kick off the Festival, actually). I take Bernhard HAS held some speeches in his life already given his high rank, plus him actually speaking up during meetings of the Scimitar Council earns him appreciated looks for what little but meaningful things he contributes - but never before has been THAT much in the spotlight. He remains calm and collected there, playing it cool.

He genuinely appreciates the wide acceptance and the opportunity though - because, well, he's so utterly and completely weak~ towards sweet, oh-so-sweet  f l a t t e r y~☆. He would literally melt away and become a puddle of goo if you push it too hard with the honey words! (happened before)


Okay, now then !~

What Bern will do first, is deeply bow to the crowd, several times even, both to greet them and to thank them for him literally flying to the podium, lol. Clever and stylish way to start things of.

*tapping microphone, clearing throat* "Weeeellll... It is of an utmost pleasure~ on my end to have been given to opportunity to greet y'all on this GRAND day. It is delightful that so many of you have responded well to the invitation of an Opening at this very and fine City Hall *waves and gestures around* and come together on this this fine day today.

Perhaps, mayhaps, you may be aware that I am no man of many words. Speech is silver, silence is golden; as the old saying goes - though that shall definitely not hinder myself on giving you my sincere and personal Thank YOU and words of gratitude.

...Do I over hear you asking 'Gratitude, what for, Mr. Samsara?' ...Well, do you need a reason to be grateful?~ 'Not really', is the answer - Pretty sure EVERY! SINGLE! ONE! OF! YOU! can name one thing they are gratful for, if they think about it well and hard enough. The more, the better for you!~

.....I certainly can name several things I am grateful for. To each Settler of you, whether you have crossed paths with one of my people, the Scimitars - any Fraction - yet before, or not, thank you for having us, for welcoming us. For the mutual respect, for it being a pleasure to make business with you in every and any aspect. ..And NO, this is not as a matter of course, as you might think. Do I need to remind you of the detail that my people had to flee the very lands of Chreshire on mass? That they still see me and my people with disdain, to put it mildly.

But THAT is beside the point. No, we are here to CELEBRATE, now aren't we, to celebrate what my and your people have managed to build up via strong alliances, diplomatic agreements, and good relations. To celebrate what we have build up - TOGETHER, in unison. I am pleased, honoured and utterly proud if I managed to contribute even the smallest aspect to this. To what we are having today. I am indeed utterly proud to call the Mageocracy my homelands - I would certainly not be here without you, on this glory day.

So go out there, CELEBRATE, ENJOY YOURSELVES, and simply HAVE A GOOD TIME - life in Sutalör is hard enough, but let's keep a blind eye on that aspect just for moment.

...That should be all. Once again, you have my personal and utter gratitude."

He deeply bows a few times again, like he did at the beginning.


That's not all however - To make thing GRANDE and kick things off with a literal BLAST, can we create sort of a firework/light effect via Evocation spells, using Zephy's Dazzling Gleam and Aurora Veil, Myra's Flame Burst, Nirix's Dazzling Gleam and psychic powers, Spritzee's Fairy Wind, as well as his own Air Affinity? He's willing to throw in some units of Veil Color to make this EXTRA-awes-inspiring and colorful. Bernhard intends to make it an absolute wonderful and utterly impressive effect, combining all of these aspects in a GREAT FINALE wooohoooo! Gauntlet Stress is 12 and I don't intend to use that mans spells today, so all should be well on that end?

(Hmmm... I have a rough idea of what request to make, but I'll need to give it some thought first before deciding on it. That Luxury Ball sounds perfect for that Umbrelong indeed! At the soonest opportunity (aka not right now), we'll transfer Equi/Nox/Equinox (all nicknames are valid) from her Pokeball to that commerative Luxury Ball. Bonus points for memorizing this Foxy Event and that Festival this way!)



Ah well, more honey words and praise, the audiences cheer and various thanks is sweet, oh-so-sweet~ music to our ears, even if it nearly blew our ear-drums (a discrete spell to block out noise does wonders). Heck, Bernhard cannot help but to display a tiny smile and even smaller blush, feeling proud and pleased with himself; as well as his magical Pokemon-partners for lending him their power to make this GREAT.

Bernhard would shake the official's hand (with the NON-gauntlet'ed one on his end), and give them a slight bow of respect. "Oh, my pleasure and honour actually~ *embarassed and highly-flattered stroking of hair out of face* Thank YOU for giving me the opportunity of opening things up on this grande day - and a special thank you for your rewards. Much appreciated indeed! I shall...come back to that request of yours, if you allow me to. I shall not make it unfulfillable on your end, no worries, haha~" *very mild laughter - a sign of Bern being in HIGH spirits!*


And with that Moderate Encounter concluded...

...About time for the stoic Magus to fully indulge in the ongoing festival, wohoooo!~ Yes he's in a good mood actually, pleased with himself by that great perfomance and honour, and a tiiiiny lil' bit looking forward to what the day will bring. Let's, uhm, hope Lady Luck and Miss Fortune will be benelovent towards him.

There's still some time until Morgana is said to come to join him for an outing, so... Ah damn, the more time passes, the more nervous AND excited Bernhard gets.

On his way to the Sutalor Department Building Mega Store, he'll stop by a candy booth and and buy several festival-themed sweets (as many as he can carry in one go), and share them with all of his Pokemon (Zephy getting the lion's share, with Bern second). I'd guess the Mythic as well as smol Spritzee would absolutely love cotton candy, which is also known as fairy floss! It's basically pure sugar, but let's ignore that aspect for now and simply enjoy it. "No, Zephy, you cannot have a third portion, you already are on a sugar high dear-me feels."

Out of sheer curiosity, how does that fortune teller Vernon visited react to Bernhard, an OBVIOUS SCIMITAR, walking by his tent? No, we're not planning to stay there and have our fortune told, Bernhard would just walk by, stop, take a step back and take a closer look, like 'Huh, is that someone from Chreshire??' No hard feelings or harm meant from Bernhard though towards 'em, he's just like 'meh, what are you doing here? But... live and let live, I guess, I will not do anything to you unless you mean harm to me first'


Minor Encounter is next: It's shopping time for Bernhard!!~ Oh, he's going to love this, having been sort a short on cash before his speech.

(Its so good and heartwaming in see Glinda like the older and kind sister! And extremely about Oz drink beer XD )

(Okay, gonna try to be brief with the responses to keep the pace of the story.)

- Oz couldn't hold herself a smile and a little laugh. She did miss those little moments of Glinda worrying about her. "Sister, I old enough to drink a beer these days! But I know what you mean. If I drink something, only no-alchoolic drinks. Pinkie promise."

- About the heavy conversation with Seddi...Oz still very worry about she try to crack a confident smile.

- Oz also take this opportunity to grab something different to dress up. Yes, she could use her usual black clothes, but since it is a festival today, and Seddi has been a good friend, she decided to dress up something different. She take a look in her bag of clothes, and problably with Glinda help try to search for a good one. She eventually find one who looks very good: A dress, with some dark blue colors, but with details in yellow and white. Its very cute and could be exatcly she could need to go into the bar and have a good time.

(Image of the dress, just picture it with the details I mentioned. Also, credits goes to @kaytahope on Twitter for the art she drew! Link of her twitter! Let art lives!)


- After grabbind her dress, she decided to have a quick conversation with Persephone. She apologize in advance, and tell her she need to stay in the PC (for now). She really needs to fix things between her sisters, so she have to stay there for a while, and Glinda be out for so long she want to spend a little time with her too. If she could, she wishes to bring Persephone along, specially after the good time they have in the Afterlife bar. She hug her ghost-sister, giving a kiss on her gremlin forehead. And then bring her Pokemon lineup for the day: Hecate, Glinda, Fortna, Dite, Meza and Bethy. Maybe with Meza and Bethy presence, Dite could feel a little more comfortable with the new place and Oz presence...at least she hopes. Besides, Meza could use some good time.

(Speaking of witch (heh, "witch") I forgot to add the information of Meza and Glinda in my char sheet. I will update later since I will be a little busy today. I promise Windos)

When she meet Seddi, she is a little more happy now. She's been a little silent along the way. Glinda was out of her Pokeball, enjoying her walk in the streets after such long time. Dite, Meza and Bethy was out too, since Meza could use some walk out her shell and keep a look with Dite, and Bethy was out too to keep a eye on Dite too and keep her comfortable. Well, "comfortable" as best it can.

- Oz wave her hand, and gave the Ursaring a bow of respect and education. Most people would problably be scary at a Ursaring as a bodyguard to some place, but she actually starting to like this person. Maybe she could work later to get something good to him to cheer him up. Even if you have a job, sometimes you really could need a good day and some cheer it up!

- Oz wave her hand, complimenting the barkeeper, and giving her a bow of respect. She would problably give the barkeeper a hug as thank of the last good time in the Afterlife, but she refrain herself since they are not that close enough to think the barkeeper would let have that option. Besides, she don't think the barkeeper have the fan of hugs. She kinda forgot the barkeeper name, she remind herself to ask later. "Hehe, not exatcly. We just trying to enjoy the festival atmosphere. We been...very busy these last days, and though we could enjoy a good time for once. How things has been going? The place is bigger than usual I see. Also, this is my partners." Oz turn around showing Meza, Dite, Bethy and Glinda. "My sisters: Meza the Faffur, Dite the Phoxy, Bethy my friend and Glinda my big sister. They will behave themselves I promise and will not cause trouble. Also, I heard there some events happening today and was curious to learn about them."

- Oz blush like cherry with the barkeeper comment. She cough and tell the barkeeper. "Me and Seddi are just good friends and companions. I will asure of that...Although I would not be surprise if some ladies would be attract to Seddi. I can imagine she does have a magnetic pull in bring a crowd, hehehe."

Oz might be a shy girl sometimes, but she does still like to spend a good time. LETS GO!
