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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Your partner's deadpan look only grows stronger when you say mention that, and they outright facepalmed when, against all odds, good sense, and reasoning the GTH Beedrill actually decides that 'Reiner's'/'Mew's' party is a suitable replacement for their Hive, and earned you a faintly annoyed thought from them. 'Reeeeiiiiineeeer.....why does it seem like you Attract the oddest people and Pokémon to you like a Dustox to a open fire, particularly ones that could repurpose your body into their personal stress toy if the whim ever crossed them? Ay yi yie......Well, I'm in no way liable for what happens when it inevitably comes time for you to control that Buzzing Explosion of Potential Pain as yourself properly, partner, so better start stocking up on Antidotes just in case....'

This action, of course earned 'him' earning a stare and partially raised eyebrow from 'Looker' at the odd behavior and subsequent explaination as to why they felt motivated to do it, while Angelica, assuming this to be the Will of her master/lord/highest of all beings/the one true light of her life, accepted it with only the slightly of hesitation on their part. Felicia let out a long suffering sigh at the danger risk you imposed upon yourself with said GHT B. while lightly shaking their head, Weavile shrugged off the matter entirely while sampling a container Amber Honey it had nicked from the Hive while everybody was distracted/scared stiff by the Beedrill , and both Rhyxemplar and Luxelong were giving the stink eye to the homely hornet, with the metal kaiju looking ready to smash them into paste if it so much as buzzed the wrong way at his Lord/Damsel in its care. Kyubi was currently with Emily right now, hovering over the little miss' shoulder to see what on earth she could be drawing at a time like this.

Meanwhile, the surprisingly nice wasp nods along with all you said to them (They gave a curious/calculating look at Rhyxemplar and Luxelong when you warned her of them) , but she once again pauses to think over what you said about The Vampire , until she decides to enlighten you a bit on one particular gap in your knowledge. After speaking that piece, she hovers over and lightly taps the button on the Luxery Ball 'Reiner' has begrudgingly brought out for them, and they are instantly sucked in and registered to it with nary a fuss on their part.

{Bzzz....Don't Know Why Bug Lady.....Bzzzzz.....Hunt You, But Do With Females. Bug Lady Sees......Bzzzzz.....Female Humans As Prey.....Bzzzz....Says Need Blood To Survive. Queen Asked Her....Bzzzz.....Why Hunt Kin Instead Of.....Bzzzz.....Pokémon, And She Said.....Bzzzz....Didn't Know, But Felt Right To Her, And Feeding On Only Pokémon.....Bzzzz......Caused Compulsion To Hunt More Than She Wanted......Bzzzzz.  Weird, But Hive....Bzzzz....Accept This About Bug Lady, Since She.....Bzzzz.....Accepted Helped Us.}

Conversation concluded for the time being, your police officer leads you to the side entrance of Warehouse #1 she found but also did not enter (She would not abandon her master to go of exploring a very much dangerous place!), and you all braced yourself before entering into the lair of the blood sucking beast and her minions....

(You know Reiner, I was entirely expecting you to futz it up in the GTH Beedrill Hive and invoke the wrath of well over a dozen furious wasps upon you and your parties poor souls, but somehow you managed to dodge that array of Fury Stingers sent your way. Oh, what a tragedy that such a encounter is not to be.....)

(Then again, you are about to go in blind to face off against The Vampire herself in her home turf, so I'm more than certain that that series of unfortunate events will make up for the distinct lack of BEEDRILLS adversely affecting your life, Ohohohoho!)

(Oh goodie, she actually does drink blood, and she hunts young females to get it.  How lovely...)

'Tell me about it...'

To Mew: 'Hey, the bee decided on her own to join, I didn't force anything.  And if she's happy with traveling with us, then she's not alerting the rest of her hive about us.  I can pick up some Risuko berries from the Merchant later when we go berry shopping to help with that little disobedience problem.'

To Weavile:  'You mind sharing that honey, Weavile?  I could use a bit of a pick-me-up still, and I'd rather not deplete our current resources if we don't have to.

To Windos: 'Ya know, I'm actually finding this somewhat enjoyable.  Not the whole being in danger part, obviously.  But the defying expectations thing?  Oh yeah, that's REAL fun.  And considering what we've been through already tonight, I'm not expecting it to get too much worse, to be honest.'
