RE: [Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands - Lord Windos - 05-18-2025
Old Man Bern ranting about how rough things for him….well, he’s not wrong to feel like a chew toy. Poor poor Scimitar…only a week away from the comforts of the Mageocracy and his station/base and he sounds ready to break…maybe a mental wellness day ordained by Zephy is in order…
RE: [Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands - Lord Windos - 05-18-2025
Based on the current progress of everyone and the most recent posts made, I think its a good time to progress to the next Day. The Day of the Festival . Don't worry if I haven't gotten to your posts yet or properly finish them - they'll be addressed in the transition!
Also, for @Dragonstrike and @PhantomUnderYourDesk - if neither of you are quite done enjoying your rather, uh, unique meeting, we can still handle and progress that as a Flashback. Don't want to leave that to wither on the vine, but neither do I want to hold up everyone else too.
Though I'm not going to get started right away on the update - I need some time to rest and unwind after a back-to-back nightshift to morning shift grind. Ugh. Time to pull up a documentary and just veg for a bit....
RE: [Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands - Pokekitty2 - 05-18-2025
Ahm - evening, everyone. Or morning. Whenever you do read this.
I, ah- I have to leave.
I'm struggling with screen addictions again, and it's bad. I mean, it's always been bad, but- I just finished my first year of college, and I'm gonna be frank - please excuse my language, here - it fucking sucked. I made it suck. Between Youtube, Pokemon Go, and a number of other vices - yes, including these forums, I've checked them far more than is healthy since we picked up again - I made no strong friends, went to no social events, procrastinated the sh*t out of all my work, and several other failings besides, and I feel absolutely terrible about it.
I've had and am having conversations with my parents and my therapist, and... it seems the best action is going to be a restart. A full reset. Completely disengaging myself from everything internet and returning only on an absolutely need-based basis until I can prove myself able to handle it.
(Will I be able to prove that? I don't f*cking know. I'm not optimistic. I don't exactly have a good track record here.)
What that means is, leaving here. Leaving you all. Not in the Sylvia-is-still-a-background-character-for-an-eventual-return way, as it was last - I need to, fully, leave. I need to tell myself that I'm never coming back, and I need to believe it.
This- this is very hard to write. Very hard. I want to thank you - all of you, very very much - for accommodating me. I want you to know that you've done nothing wrong, nothing at all, and quite to the contrary. It has been an absolute joy to write with all of you, and to get to know you as much as an internet forum allows.
Thank you;
I'm sorry;
Good luck;
Please have fun.
Good-bye.

Well shit. And just after Sylvia was established as a full PC too...

Fuck.
Just.
Fuck.
*Deep breaths*
...I don't really know what to say about this that wouldn't....divert away from the issues you face Pokekitty. I'm not terribly great at that sort of subtly. All I can really say is that I'm not happy to see you go, but....I understand why you had to make such a choice to try and get your life in order. I can relate to their feelings very well in that regard.
That...and I hope that this silly little game of mine was enjoyable for you until the end, and that one day life will exactly be as you wish.
Take care and be well, my friend.

I get it too, but man...I was having fun. Now I'm feelin' kinda depressed, and it sucks. I don't like feeling depressed. I was taking meds for years to combat that. (Before anyone asks, I'll be fine. Just need a little time.)
*sigh*
I know you're probably not going to see this, but I hope you know you'll always be welcome here among us if you return, @Pokekitty2. Wish ya all the best, and I hope you can find a good work-life-fun balance eventually.
...
...well, guess you'll need to fill in the blanks on how much Sylvia told Seddi about Main Street's incident, @Lord Windos.
RE: [Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands - Lord Windos - 05-18-2025
*Sighs*
....As tasteless as it is to do so, I will eventually have to get a move on with the story. A story that now has a massive, much missed, Esepon-shaped hole into it. I didn't have too many plans for her yet, I admit, but I still DID.
So.
I'm at a crossroads now.
What are we going to do about Sylvia?
I have 3 Options right now, but I'm open to more.
A) Essentially turn her into a DMPC, like I did with Ianai. Probably going to end up pushed into the background more often than not, but at least we'd have Pokekitty's legecay in the campaign still, morkish as it could be.
B) Thantos Snap. They cease to exist, either because they fade out of the plot/get yanked offstage, or literally get Ret-Goned to the point that no PC in game remembers her existence. In such an event I'll redistribute her resources evenly among every PC, including Mons and repurposing the PDs I had planned for her. Whether the ret-gon is quiet or its woven into the narrative is up in the air - the later could make for a better story and give more weight to Sylvia's loss, but again this could be morkish. The former lets their legacy rest in peace but feels disrespectful in a different manner to just...silently erase them.
C) NPC Conversion. I repurpose the character to do something different in the overall game and plot. Maybe make them a companion character to one of the PC. Maybe make them a Quest or Service Provider. Maybe let them go on their own adventure, or get roped into their own destiny parallel to the plot. I don't know yet. If she ends up leaving I'd have her give some parting gifts before she does, at the very least. If she stays, I'll try to find a way to include her that isn't too awkward.
@Dragonstrike , @PhantomUnderYourDesk ,@Iron , @Mikaruge108 , @Spiritmon , what do you think ?

She'll tell you everything, going so far as to share the memory since she has a few PDs and out of this world Insight to Know you would be able to handle and process such a thing. She does this partly to lighten things up after the emotional rollercoaster everyone went through, partly because she wants you to have as much info as possible in case Bern stays missing and/or the Mon that caught him proves to be a bigger menace than expected.
From your Elite Trainer background and as a HIGH ranking member of Paldea's government and 'Armed Forces' , you would pretty much know exactly what sort of Pokemon I've implied the Umbrelong to be, and all the implication that such a creature exists either without the explicit permission or oversight of Sutalor's government (local or Regional) OR (perhaps worse) it does in some manner. How alarmed and worried I'll leave to you, though historically Paldea has been somewhat 'lax' on the issue of these sorts of Mons due to have bigger problems to worry about, local and afar.
