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

[Lord Windos]

(Oh, and constructive criticism for our pitch black dancer: if you're going to emulate someone who's a former Kimono Girl, you might want to work that talent into the routine.  Bit of a missed opportunity, in my opinion.  The one person there who is an actual dancer did none?  Not the focus of that particular portion of the song, I know, but still an interesting thing I noted.)

(I thought Reiner might appreciate a hug from his mother more than seeing her preform on stage in front of him. I embody everyone that I take the shape of, so she was of like 'mind' on this matter, my little drake....)

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

The Primal Darkness shook his head in amusement, their long mane flowing forth in the abyss as he did so, clearly pleased to have rattled Reiner and put on a good enough performance for 'her' and Dragonstrike.

Technically speaking, I AM everything. Or, at the very least, everything that is, can be, will be, probably or could be considered DARK. From the Element itself, to color, emotions, aspects or ideas, secrets, thoughts, actions, belief, truth and lies, the shadows of everything, the blackness of space and the void, parts of a being's SOUL...I could go on and on, hehehehe....

Everything in existence could be said to posses some form of DARKNESS or have a DARK counterpart or antithesis in some form or the other....all of it fall under my domain and control. All. of. it.

Of course, my influence and control isn't all emcompassing or absolute, as you pointed out little drake, but does it really matter in the end when I hold power over roughly 50% of EVERYTHING, and can use said power and my abyssal experience to make up for the rest?

Here, let me demonstrate for you...

I held up one hand, and *Snapped* my taloned fingers.

In an instant, a TORRENT of doubt fear loneliness paranioa terror came bubbling forth from the deepest from 'her' heart, no longer able to suppress it with either Zen State or their pure Will/Resolve. They felt themselves wilting and weakening under the sheer INTENSITY of all the bottled up negativity they have shove deep within themselves over the course of the last 4 years, all coming out at once to darken their heart and soul!

REINER NOW TAUNTED, TORMENTED, MEMENTOED, BE-GRUGDED, SPITED, AND  TOTALLY DISABLED BY THE DARKNESS IN 'HER' HEART.

ATTRIBUTE LOWERED TO 1, HP LOWERED TO 1.

'HER' FORTH WALL AWARENESS IS ALSO DISABLED.

sI let out a crackle as the full ramification of my will became known to both drakes, before I deaned to speak with both once more.

(Sorry about this, but I prefer not having you feeding them answers or providing unnecessary support, when its 'her' I'm mainly interested in dealing with presently, so please wait warmly and do your part as 'her' hidden will. Its not as if you are unused to this state of affairs, after all, heheheheHA!)

Sorry about that, but I just wanted to further demonstrate my power to Dragonstrike, so allow me to revert those bothersome changes...

ALL NEGATIVE EFFECTS ARE REMOVED, EXCEPT  FOR THE FORTH WALL AWARENESS BLOCK

There! Now, while I could go on and on about myself and just do the darnet things, I want to ask YOU some question, Reiner, since you imposed upon me earlier. Fair is fair, as love in war, eh little drake?

One moment I was a few yard away from them, and the next I was towering right above them, staring them in the eye looking at the very essense that make THEM.

Do you have an inkling why I offered my aid to you? Why I choose you, out of the billion of humans and Pokémon on earth, to grant you the favor and honor of being the first to see me in countless millennia? I'm curious to what been on your mind, so please, enlighten me!

[Hmmm...oh dear...that's not good...]

That was REALLY jarring.  One moment there's a connection he felt...and then...it's gone.  'She' can't feel it at all any more.

'...'

'...'

Nope, nothing.

Zero, zip, nada.

As far as 'she' could tell, she and this man were the only ones here...in a void of nothing...

'...'

'...whatever the reason is, it's because it suits your purposes, right?'

[Lord Windos]

I clapped my hand in front of them and gave them my most pointy grin I could muster!

Coooooooorrect, little drake! Oh, but that is such a pedestrian answer, isn't it? Any joe smo could easily come up with such a response or similar, couldn't they? Now, I know you are far above the everyman, so can't you give me an answer with a bit more meat on its bones. Your thoughts, opinions, suspicions? Or are you simply unable to function without your benefactor whispering silky word into your ears, hmm?

Reiner just stares back, refusing to be phased.

'You're not going to get much meat when I barely have the bones in the first place.  Though, since you claim to be in control of darkness, you're probably particularly interested in Mamudo Eclipse and its wielder, yes?'

[Lord Windos]

Reiner just stares back, refusing to be phased.

'You're not going to get much meat when I barely have the bones in the first place.  Though, since you claim to be in control of darkness, you're probably particularly interested in Mamudo Eclipse and its wielder, yes?'

Ah, but don't you humans have several mystical arts that allow you to divine the truth from such things? Well, your benefactors and Mew are to blame for starving you of information in the first place, so you are hardly to blame for your lack of meaty answers now that I think about it!

Hehehe....even with scraps, though, your remarkably astute in your guess. To be somewhat straightforward, you are partially correct: you becoming M.E.'s wielder was the first instance you caught my attention, as I personally take a look in all that wield that particular arm for rather self evident reasons. But that wouldn't have substained my interest beyond you being particularly attuned to Darkness, like that old, viscous wolf who gave you the gun in the first place.

No, no , what got me really interested was several OTHER things I discovered about you. Things that made you oh so particularly stand out among the drivel that most of humanity and Pokémon regretibly finds themselves in. Oh, I swear Arceas, you'll rue the day you denigrated most your 'subjects' into such a pathetic state of being...

But I digress! Do you have any idea what those OTHER qualities are, little drake? I could outright tell you, but were would the fun be it that now, hmm? Tell you what, if you give me a creative enough guess, I'll reveal something interesting about M.E. to you, just to give you a little more incentive! Nothing motivate like a nice reward, after all, heheheheheHA!

Reiner thinks for a moment before responding.  Something that makes him stand out from the rest...

'You make it sound like you're interested in the strength of my choices.  Or something similar.'

[Lord Windos]

'You make it sound like you're interested in the strength of my choices.  Or something similar.'

I gave them a sastified grin at that answer, before I let myself fall backwards in the air and into a nice plush chair that conveniently materialized. Ah, the convenience of being near all-powerful...

Correct again, little drake! You posses a remarkable power, one so rare as to be completely forgotten about by almost all, that which is only the highest of beings or the most uniquely blessed individuals normally hold, something that can change the very course of reality if used correctly: True Choice. When you make a choice, it almost always has long reaching, sweeping impact on yours and others lives, or at the very least makes things ever more interesting than they normally would be. Small choices become big ones, insignificant one scale up in importance, and the consequence of them all become ever so magnified. Already huge choices that stand to shake up things? Hehehehe...

Its one of the reasons why your benefactors are so interested in you in the first place. Your choices has tangible effect on the world around you, so with their help and guidance to back you up and amplify it to truly awe inspiring levels, they can really accomplish whatever to, given enough time and careful planning. Right now they mainly want to help you with your current goals and see what happens next, but who know when that might change, when they might decide that its time to start doing what THEY want instead? What things they could accomplish, with a unsuspecting little drake like yourself blazing a trail ahead, salting fields as you go along? Nice food for thought, don't you agree hmm?

I made another gesture, and summoned a glass of water to wet my throat and refresh myself after all the talking and singing I've done thus far, before I continued to speak on the matter, smile still firmly affixed on my face.

Hehehe....but that is just one of three things I find interesting in you, Reiner. Since you seem to be having a hard time stumbling on them, I'll give you a couple of hints as to what these qualities are, as I'm just a gracious incarnation of darkness! One is related to the Cursed Arms as a whole, and the other to Mew herself, the bitch.

I'm sure you can see put two and two together and get four, unless you end up thinking too abstractly and end up getting fish as an answer. In which cause that'll earn me a good laugh at your expense, ha!

'...*sigh*...again with this Chosen One business, right?  And an affinity for a surprisingly large number of those weapons or something of that nature, no?'

[Lord Windos]

(And.....Pause)

The entire void freezes, including Reiner Arendse in it and his awareness of events!

(That's enough prattling for me for now. I'll finish up this oh so delightful conversation once I resolve some other business, so don't be a stranger like me now, heheheHA!)

[Lord Windos]

'...*sigh*...again with this Chosen One business, right?  And an affinity for a surprisingly large number of those weapons or something of that nature, no?'

(And....unpause!)

A party hat spontaneous appeared on 'Mew's' head, then the sound of confette echo out through the found and the clap of my hands as I gave 'her' a rather toothy grin at her answer, before taking another sip of water and speaking once more. "Correct and correct, little drake! Well, not quite on the first line of inquiry, but its close enough, I can hardly blame you for having any other possible answer, since your lovely little partner keeps well and true to herself. Not that swell of a partner when she deliberately with holds information or doesn't fully divulge her knowledge on critical objects of interest, hmm? Though in the latter case can whole heartidly understand and enthusiastically blame her for her retisense, heheheHA! Perhaps I'll tell you more about you divine friend, little drake, and educate you on matters she left in my domain, but I'll spare you the details now. Another time, another time..."

With that said, I snapped my finger, and the chair was gone and I was now GIGANTIC, holding Reiner in the palm of my enlarged ichorous hands, fingers curled inward as if to suddenly cage them. "Now....I did promise that I would reveal some hidden functions of Mamudo Eclispe, yes? Well, what would you prefer to learn first of: its intristic property, or it more....esoteric power that it holds? The rest of the knowledge will come at a latter date when I feel you deserve it, or you happen to clumsly stubble upon it yourself! Take you time and think about it, no rush or pressure! Hehehe...."
