Your rather curt but fair remark has her....hang her head for a moment, before she drew in another long, almost suffering breath, before she looked back up at you with a pained smile.

"...Such a frosty, Chilly Reception, my dear child. *Closes eyes* I suppose it is to be expected. ' First Impressions are Gimmigold' , as a saying goes, and seldom few hold me so close or high esteem. You have more reason than most to hold yourself against and afar from me. I Know Who I'm, and I Am Unrepentant. Unashamed. *Looks at you Firmly* I am the Fairy Queen of Unova, the Wickedly Whimsical Woman, The Fair Lady. I am Morgana Belladonna Le Fey - your Godmother, most Fae and Forewarned."

...

"*Looks into her tea* Besides and beyond, it is not like I could overly involve myself in your life anyhow, anyway. The manners I can aid, be available and open to you are....Limited. My hands are Tied, quite thoroughly and vexingly so. I can only give Aid or Boon if you are in sincere of need, I sincerely owe you, or....you sincerely make a Deal with me. And due to the nature of my restrictions any Deals made and struck would be most costly Indeedee. Not until you fulfil your Old Destiny will I be unshackled - or you fail to do so. *Frowns* That, or the one Binds me so oh so graciously releases me from them, but it will be a bright day in Giratina's Domain before they would ever change their mind...."

As she finished a small look of realization flashed on her face, before she gave you a sly smile as with a wave of her hand -

- A Full Restore appeared in front of you.

"....I suppose I owe you a small Boon, for so egregiously harming you this morn. Hospitality is most Sacred, a right to be honor and held most high, so I humbly offer this to thee in recompense. Do keep in mind I still owe you a modest Boon for our.....momentous reunion too - if there is anything your desire most Daer I would be most Thrilled and Delighted to make your Wishes come True. "

When you check your watch you find that this meeting has stretched into the early afternoon - still plenty of time to do stuff when there is light out, but you've skipped breakfast and most of lunch by now. Morgana notices your anxiousness to 'get going' (among other things), and once more she closed her eyes and *Siiiighed*

"...This meeting has run over long, tarry and tallied on and on. You must have other business to attend and amend, and so do I. So do I. 'Tis time to send you on your way then...."

She opens her eyes and leans forward, giving you stern look.

"...But first, two things, important and imperative. First, advise, freely given and owed: I would suggest keeping quiet about our....relationship. No doubt many would seek to target you over it, either to inact their greviances on a 'softer' target, or extract ways to gain my Attention and Favor. *Sharp Smile* Wretch, pitful fools, oh so regretful they would be. That includes your 'Primera' - I do not know how closely you two hold in each own's esteem, but I Know she would use that Knowledge and treat you like a chess piece. A most precious one, to be sure, a Pawn promoted past Knight into a Prince, but a chess piece never the less. Beware, my dear child..."

"Secondly......"

She offers a sad, almost hopeful smile.

"....Is there any chance I could be in your good grace? I....know it is unlikely you'll ever....care for me like I do for you, my child. You neither have the memories or history for that, past and present. *Bitter giggling* Not withholding the fact you likely believe me a complete monster, between your upbringing and....what you experienced. I am Morgana, after all.  *Earnestness* But....I can still be a good godmother to you. Good for you, as much as can be asked for us both. I can be....better, however that entails. I can not easily or readily change Who I Am....but for a loved one like you I willing to try."

I'm busy (again), but yes, do keep me updated please. Though dear me is more interested what's with that Wandering Hurricane than what Lady Luck and Miss Fortune decided to throw at us once more.

Please do take care.

Sincere thanks for that generous offer of something as valuable as a pair of Choice Specs. While you did get me curious (though more in terms of how you managed to acquire an item THAT rare and precious) and feel we could indeed agree on a trade, I apologise for politely declining your offer. You see, I prefer variety in my partner-Pokemon's moves and my own spells. I'm sure though you won't have any issues finding someone interested.


Please do take care.

Slowly he peeked out behind his hiding spot, shock setting in as he spots the resting ball. Lani's excitement snaps him out however, turning his attention to the victor.

''Just like that.... We really went above and beyond just now, especially you little lady.'' He'd attempt to scoop up the victorious derg into a short hug despite any protest that may occur. ''When we get out of here you definitly earned some spoils for that amazing performance.''

The elation slowly wearing off he'd walk over to pick up the now full Ultra Ball, examining it in his hands. Something of that calliber shouldn't fall into the hands of the wrong people, he'd better be careful of who to tell of this dragons existence. Though he was very curious to how the others and *her* would react.....  squash that thought, lets get outta here first.

If this pipe got him into this mess it would be doubtful that it would also be the exit, setting his eyes on the distant pipe he saw earlier to be his next target.

"I can't rightly say how possible forgiveness would be right now.  You have a long, long road to walk if forgiveness is what you seek.  I'm far from the only one you've hurt, intentionally or otherwise.  And I don't think that path is going to be any easier for you than the challenges I'm inevitably going to encounter on my path."

As she said, she is Morgana.  Seddi's not the only one she'd have to convince that extending an olive branch is not only possible, but worth it.  Simple favors aren't going to cut it when she's viewed as a murderer and an ally to a hostile organization.

Aburptly, you shoot awake, finding yourself to be in....

....where were? This isn't were you feel asleep.

Currently, you were in a hazy clearing of sorts. Tall, tall grass shot up around you, each individual plant the size of a small building. A dull, everypresent light filled the area.

There was one path out of the clearing.

Into the Unown.

(Just thought to give you something to do, if you want to! Trying not to leave you out of things, after all!)

Sylvia shakes her head, and then regrets it - her thoughts lagging behind her physicality, the psychic equivalent of your stomach dropping in an elevator - she's hit by a fierce headache, and she staggers a bit.
It... takes her a moment to gather her thoughts again, to settle her powers into the low long hum she's used to. It gives her little extra information about her surroundings, though - the tall grass scattering any attempts at psychic sensing into unreadable static.

Given no further information, she supposes taking the open path is the only reasonable action - though she'd like to do her best to keep up a psychic vigilance. If broadcasting her location attracts something, so be it - she'd rather not risk surprise or being surprised.

Lani is so fizzing with post-battle adrenaline and deep Draconic sense of pride and accomplished that she doesn't mind being lizard handled one bit - heck, she even returns your hug with a nuzzle! To power of friendship and high-stakes combat is strong!

Upon picking up the Ultra Ball you nearly dropped it, biting back an instinctual yelp and urge to throw it away at how FIERCE and Dark it feel. It almost felt like it was trying to eat your hand, but thankfully that was not the case - from the dull thrumming of your 'own' power and familiarity with Dragons most Dark (Why do you keep stumbling on them? What's next, a Rouge Hydregon?) it seems like you possess Inate Traits necessary to safety Possess this Ultra Ball without ample protection. Anyone that tries to steal it is going to have a BAD TIME unless they're just as uniquely endowed.

From what you can guess of your Patron (from what little you've gleen), they'd either start being exasperated at how your Fortune has developed under Her, or she'd find a peculiar sense of amusement at one of her Disciples becoming a particular breed of Dragon Tamer. One who is of the Sea Mist Domain would be perfect for the task of subduing such creatures, no?

You shake your head as your thoughts start to get uncomfortably close to understanding your Patron - 'tis a folly most dear to hop on that sort of wave length without going hopping mad yourself. Or worse and Stranger still, *Shudders*

Once done ruminating/basking in the aftermath of the Legendary (?) Fight you make your way over to the other Pipe you spotted. Along the way you catch glimpses of the other Mons that call this place home, but not for long, they've been thoroughly spooked by The Gloomy Dragon (Gloomtail, the name now ringing in your hand) RAMPAGE and are Skittish about the Unown creature that won against it.

Along the way....

Loot/Discovery Roll!
1 (Guaranteed) + 6D6 Dice!
(6)(5)(3)(2)(5)(3) You find 1 Additional Item!

Type: (1)  Doh!    Rarity: (20) ...What the fuck.
Rolling Fortune....
*Rolls*
...Okay, I can work with this result.

You find what appeared to be a odd Red Cap, adorned with life-like eyes and the ability to shrink in your hand, just like a Pokeball. Weird! ??? Red Cap Obtained!

...And what appeared to be a broken....console of sorts? 



The screen as cracked, and when you tried fiddling with it all you got was a static from both screen and speakers. Still, the tech looks nothing like you've seen before, so might as well grab it - maybe one of the brainer members of your group could figure it out. ??? Device Obtained.

Eventually you reach the Pipe, its metallic green sheen a beckon in this otherwise dreary cave. It towers above you, but with a little help from your bruising drake you find yourself poised on the lip, staring down the darkness. You hesistat for a moment, but with no real lead out of here beyond the Pipe you came in from - which could very well open at the bottom of the crushing sea, no thank you! - this was your best shot at escape. You take a deep breath...

And

Jump

Down

The

Pipe

=======

....In park by the City Hall, a couple was enjoying a peaceful picnic together with their Plusle and Minun, when all of a sudden a giant Green Pipe erupted right beside them, spewing earth all around! Then a pair of partners pop right of it - it's the Super Ma - [MISPLACED REFERENCE] it's Akamu and Lani, landing right beside it! Moments later the Pipe sinks down into the ground, leaving nothing of its presense behind....save you and the mess it made, of course.

The duo of couples just stared at you for a moment....before shrugging it off and continuing to enjoy their date. Just another day in Sutalör, am I right?

Moderate Encounters 1 and 2 Over : First part was getting the Bricky Cave and Catching Broozer, and the Second one was Gloomtail, 'nuff said. You got 2 Minor Encounters - what do you wish to do with them? Do you want to save one for the next day, or use them both? Bonus Encounter Ideas are also welcome!

(05-05-2025, 10:00 AM)Redstone Wrote: Apologizing to the couples he'd gather himself, relishing in the sight of sky again. Looking at how much of the day was left he'd plan to shop for tms/pokeballs for now. (I will use both minor encounters, just not sure what for on the second yet)

On the way to his first errand he'd send Seddi a crucial text:

''I may have stumbled onto something with as much if not more ramifications then the BIO-Fang, do let me know if you have some time to take a look anytime soon.''

Quote:Daily Special TMs from the TM Shop (Due to the CHOS, Their has been no changes to the inventor beyond what is shown bellow):

Toxic and Psyshock Remain - Prices the same

Power Swap - $2500
Spikes - $3000
Swift - $2500

New Adds. To Pricely Prizes...
*Rolls* One!

Attract (Infinite) - $10k  . Counts as a Soft Status (can overlap with other Soft Status and Hard Status) in my game, and has potent effects if used correctly/deviously enough (Pseudo Mind Controlling Charisma a go go!) - It also Raise Happiness and Loyalty of a Target by One for its duration too!

(05-05-2025, 10:20 AM)Lord Windos Wrote: Pokeball Prices remain the same in your Inventory - you don't have a lot of time to try and find any Specialty Balls or shops with discounts, but you do find someone offering a Premier Balls if you buy a couple of Used Ultra Balls (- Seal Strength, +/- Glitchy) for $2000 Poke. No haggling with TM Prices, though maybe bartering other stuff for the goods is possible...

(05-05-2025, 09:45 AM)Lord Windos Wrote: It's even worse than that - you feel drunk yet shockingly of clear mind, as if you down equal shots of vodka and coffee before taking a prance around town to....wherever you ended up at. Ugh....

With bold shaky step you venture out of the clearing and into the Unown.

*Rolls*
*Rolls...*

After a seemingly endless journey, beset with the feeling you were Known here in this Strange, Strange place, you find your path branch into three:

A warm and sunny, yet oh so occluded way.

A cold and dark, but quite so clarifying road.

The same path you were on.

Or perhaps you could even turn back - who knows where it may lead now?

Choose.

 - new DAyY has started.....?

wWh@t?


*Shakes Head*


.....You feel better, after a few moments. Still, a strange feeling prevades you. As if something happened.

Something.... beyond you.
yet ever so close

Eventually, one way or another, you realize what it was - in part, in whole

Somehow, someway, an Entire Day has just
escaped, slipped away away away
vanished on you.

Thankfully(?) - and after a few more moments to Will away those jitters - you soon learn that you didn't miss anything in that time frame - the odd question or subtle inquiry confirms you were all holed up during the day when the Hurricane Weather was at its roughest.
Nothing here, anyway
Well, save for Vernon, who somehow found himself waking up in the nest of the Big Dodrio he was attempting to tame the dAy before, who was snoozing away peacefully all the while.


[*]Still, you can't help shake the feeling that something Strange happened.



Every PC gains + 1 Will and 20 XP; every PC's Pokemon receives 10 XP (Flat, unaffected by multipliers) and a 2x Multiplier their XP for the next Encounter they participate in.
Every PC's Fortune increases by 1, and they gain the Trait TS ****** (Effect: Unknown?]


In addition to that....

@Dragonstrike : Upon checking your phone, you find that the message that Dodger left you has mysterious vanished - as if it never existed. Dr. Sada's is still there, but it has changed, somewhat - your Mentor doesn't want to meet you ASAP. Instead, the one who you previously made The Deal with over The Wandering Hurricane has requested a meeting with you immediately. Sada doesn't know why that is the case, but she mentioned the man appeared ghastly pale and almost to the point of Faint when he told her to pass the message along. The meeting is planned to take place in the Embassy you're in, in a separate meeting room reserved for the occasion.

Iron Leaves is still by your bed and underneath the cover, but when you check on her closely you find that she is 100% offline and unresponsive, but still functioning (Fainted, Full HP). Touching on your Bond with her, you get the faint sense that she was overloaded by something, and will need some time to Reboot before she is functional once more (1 Day). During this time she doesn't contribute to your Fortune Score, but can't be used in Encounters in anyway mechanically, beyond the act of using her body itself. 

Strangest of all, though, you find that she is cradling something in her hooves: A TM for Sunny Day (Two Uses Remain). The TM itself is also of special make and model: you can Imprint another Move onto it, if you either have the know how to do so or can find someone that can do the job for you.

@PhantomUnderYourDesk  : You wake up in your bed abruptly, and find that your Partner, Zephy, was completely and utterly Unconscious - nothing you do at all rouses her from the deep, deep slumber she was under. Which, judging by how bedraggled and uncomfortable she looks, was not a pleasant one. Zephy will be Unusable for 1 Day.

However, you do notice she is cradling two objects in her arms - A Heat Stone/Icy Stone (Your Choice) and what appeared to be a Card of some sort, pitch black and metallic that had a singular Silver Star upon it.

The rest of your Pokemon are 100% Healthy - Myra is in especially good spirits after a dAy of rest and relaxation with her most precious Master!

Lastly, you notice a pink letter resting on your nightstand - judging by that signature scent and glittering ink it was no doubt from Morgana. The message is surprisingly simple, but short - she is going to be busy most of this day, but is more than delighted to play host and company to you Tonight (After all your Encounters are spent). Something about being caught up in several important meetings and fulfilling some Favors, or so you can parse. 

@Redstone  From what you can tell you just spent a day Training and Bonding with your Pokemon, though how effective that was remains to be seen in full. Loyalty and Happiness has progressed for all Pokemon - including Bio Fang. You're also still at your date's house - you once again woke up sharing a bed with her, though getting out was easier said than done. While extracting yourself, however, you discovered something underneath your pillow : A Z Stone for what appears to be.....your Patron? It looks Fragile, however - you got one use out of it, you bet.

Trying to contact your Patron ends in swift and shocking rejection - from what you can feel from the Bond between you She was.....not feeling very well, to put it politely. Downright nauseous, to be blunt, which concerning Her is a very rare and alarming thing indeed! You will not have access to your Patron for the rest of the Day; on the up side, neither will She make any Requests of you.

@Spiritmon   : You wake up in the Coffee Shop, surprisingly enough! Turns out you 'apparently' spent the dAy helping out Tiffany and trying your best to Bond with the moody lil' Faffur, to some moderate amounts of success if the grumbling but quiet acceptance from the furry drago is any indication. + 1 Happiness with Fafurr; progress on Loyalty made. You actually feel closer to ALL your Pokemon, for some reason, which is baffling to you all but in the end you can only shrug it off...for now. Bond Strengthened with All Owned Pokemon!

You did get some surprising news from Tiffany, however: apparently they decided to redo your deal concerning Fafurr! The shop is willing to hold onto them Indefinitely until you can Work Up the funds to buy them and demonstrate you two can actually get along! You also don't have to work at the shop or do any Odd Deals with the crafty woman anymore - well, unless you want to, that is.

How wonderful! But when you asked why this was the case....

"*Rubs back of her head* Weeeell.....some lady did some favors for me and the Shop awhile back, and she decided to call one of them in for you. Said she felt their was potential most grand between you and the lil' drake - her words, not mine, though it's a sentiment I share. She also said she wishes to meet with you sometime soon, preferably today in the afternoon or evening. Just let me know when and I'll set things up for it here, alright dear?"

...Strange. Fortunate, but strange.

Lastly, you find something stuck on a window in the room you where resting in: a Spell Tag. Grants + 1 Damage Dice to Ghost and 'spooky' Moves, as well as making ANY Success (4, 5, and 6) result proc the Chance Effects of said Moves. Curiously, though, you find you can also use it yourself: it changes your basic Strike into a Ghost Type Move while also granting it + 1 Damage Dice (on top of the + 1 Damage Dice it gives) and gives a 1D6 effect to ignore a Target's Defense when dealing Damage.

@Mikaruge108  Nothing much happened with you, though Aaron 'apparently' worked you hard during the dAy of the Hurricane, your Mentor being notorious about not wasting any time and wanting to shape you up after the serious of rather Unfortunate Encounters you've been having lately. Double the XP gained you and your Pokemon gained at the Start of this Day.

That Feather also has mysteriously vanished - in its place giant Seed of some sort. You don't know what it does, but you get the feeling that Eating it would purify you in some way...

@Iron    As mentioned previously, you wake up with the Giant Dodrio as a cuddly nest mate - and with their Pokeball clipped onto your belt. Somehow, you managed to Bond and convince the giant bird to join your Team peacefully - though it took a whole dAy to do so (details on them coming later in the Meta Thread). 

You also find what appears to be a pair of Choice Specs rest on your head: this Item allows a Pokemon to repeat a Special Move of their choice multiple times in a single Round (Accuracy System still applies as normal) and raises their SPE by 1.5x, but in exchange locks them into ONLY using that Move for the rest of the Encounter and can quickly Exhausts the user (increased Inaccuracy Penalties). Sell Price is $25000 Poke.


The Weather for today is still quite bad, but nowhere as severe as the Hurricane Bayhama faced the dAy prior : Heavy Rain is in effect for the Day. There is no Penalties to exploring the City (unless otherwise stated in an Encounter), but people and Pokemon alike are still going to be scarce - don't expect a lot of Encounters involving either without heading to an indoor location of some sort or you're actively hunting for them. A few Pokemon or folk of sterner stuff and Rarer quality may still be out and about enjoying the Weather, however, the crazies!

[Encounter Tables will be posted as soon as you select which part of Bayhama your PCs will be going; if you are planning to join up with another PC please also make that known too.]
