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

".....When you put it thus, its more than reasonable why she developed that newfound personality trait of hers, in light of all the traumatic and....transformative events she's experienced as of late. Though I am surprised she was maintain that illusion by herself, since at first I thought it was you obscuring her true form with your powers, but it appears she has gained some new abilities herself form her thankfully brief sojurn into the afterlife. Hmm....perhaps with time and practice her illusion will be more powerful and encompass more senses that sight or sound, but that is a topic for another discussion I suppose."

At your next comment Mr. Mime gave you an appraising look for a moment, before they slowly nodded their head in response. "If its for her benefit as well, then I will make sure I speak with her at length at least once before you leave Aurum Vexillim Mr. Arendse. She was a good friend of mine before.....hmm, yes, and I would like to return the favor in someway, regardless of who she is now. However, I'm not the only one that was friends with either her or Mr. Sterling. Blaine, Whitney, Chuck, Mina, and Mr. Fuji were all close friend and confidants to the couple, as they all cooperated and helped one another several times in the past. Its not my place to give details about Mr. or Ms. Sterlings relationship between them, but suffice to say they do have reason to care about them greatly. .....Eventually, they'll began to inquire about the both of them, Mr. Arendse, and they'll ask me and Aurum Vexillim questions to their whereabouts and wellbeing. Since you are the one responsible for Ms. Sterling and Mr. Archie's estate, what would you suggest I do about this?"

After you gave your answers to the above question, the butler lets out a dispodent sigh before the grip their hands together, shaking their heads to themselves. You could feel them mustering all the willpower and inner Steel on hand to speak up about this, and so you knew when they meet your eyes to speak about this 'discrete matter', it was going to be....

"Their is no delicate way to put this without muddying its significance or meaning, so again I will be blunt: a couple days prior to you meeting up with Ms. Sterling, she had been feeling odd and nauscous in the morning, so I decided to take a blood sample from her and run give it to the onstaff doctor for analysis. The results of the test it told us that she was in perfect health.....but that she was also pregnant. When told the news, she decided to keep it a surprise for Mr. Sterling for the time being, as she wanted to decide for herself whether or not she wanted to raise a child with him at that point, or give it up for adoption and not burden him or her with that responsibility. *Sighs* With her death, revival, and amnesia, I'm very unsure whether or not she still has the child at this point, or if she would remember having it. I need to do addition blood test to verify whether or not she has it, but if she still does......*Sighs* then that creates new problems for her and yourself, Mr. Arendse. I'm sorry that I had to tell you this, but it had to be said."

'It's some strange form of Hypnosis.  Maybe with more practice, it'll get stronger.  Would make it easier for her to interact if she could fool more than sight.  As soon as she uses any other move, though, the illusion dissipates immediately.  It's impressive how long she can maintain it for, though.'


'Well, Mina's getting some answers sooner rather than later.  We were on our way here to meet her, and then...well, there was an 'accident.'  Nobody found that particularly fun, least of all Mina.  As for the rest of those people...hmmm...that's going to be a hard one to answer...I figured they'd all come asking questions eventually, but I've not thought about this topic much...hmmm...well, there's no doubt that they'll eventually come to the conclusion that they're both outright missing if they don't hear anything...we can't tell them everything for the most part, though...unless...'

...

'I'll have to speak with Mew on this, see what she thinks.  She might have some ideas that I haven't thought of.  And I need to see what she thinks of one of my ideas in particular...I'll need to get back to you on this later.'

'Mew' wasn't expecting to hear what came next, though.

'...holy mother of Mew herself...that would create soooo many issues...urrrgggghhhh...definitely test it, though.  Ay yi yi...'
