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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

...*sigh*...it's been waaayyyy too long of a night, and Weavile wasn't making it easy to stay calm...maybe that was too hard on him, but...'

'...oh, right, Mr. Mime.  Well, first of all, he immediately knew exactly who we actually are.  No surprise there, I guess...he's also in contact with Lilith, apparently, so he knows what happened with us, Archie, and Kyubi, which explains why he didn't overreact in any noticeable way when he recognized the 'fox'.  He asked for the account information Archie gave me so he could assist in transferring the funds safely.  He assured me that he doesn't blame me for doing Archie in, as he got what was coming to him in the end.  I'm thinking we'll probably have to copy the notes I took on those 8 accounts so we aren't risking the rest of the information in the ledger...'

'...he also mentioned he'd be happy to help us find a way to swap back.  Or assist in some way if possible.  Whatever he could do to help out, basically.  Helpful guy, it seems.  Maybe you have some ideas?  Or if there isn't a reasonable way he can help, I'm sure he'll understand that...any ideas, though?'

'...and there was one other matter...namely, Archie's friends.  They'll be inquiring about his whereabouts eventually.  Chuck, Whitney, Mr. Fuji, Blaine, and Mina.  Mina's already accounted for out of necessity, to be honest, but what are we going to have Mr. Mime tell the rest of them when they come looking?  One thing I was thinking Mina might end up explaining a part of it should she meet them again considering there's not really any way to hide how she's been changed and is going to get to hear most of the story anyways...at least, I think she gets to...remember how Archie said he'd written a note of some kind for Mina that would be handed to me after we'd dealt with him?  Yeah, that never got handed over...I THINK Lilith was the one who was supposed to hand it over, so we need to text her about that before we say too much to Mina...but yeah, this whole thing with those friends of his could cause even more issues, so...if you have some ideas for this as well, I'm all ears.'

'...there's also one more thing, but we should be in private before I say anything about it...'

'Reiner' couldn't help but give a feeling of agreement with you first statement. Getting beatup by the nastiest Bug types she ever had the displeasure of meeting, fighting horrors that just were barely within comprehension, and having THEM force a body swap between her and the draconic man she called her partner.....yeap, that did make for a looooooong night. Wasn't helped by the fact that Windos only updates once in a blue moon, and was complicit in all of this, grrrr...... (*Faint Laughter could be heard at that moment*)

'It annoys me to no end that a talking Mr. Mime of all Pokémon could pierce through my invisibility and natural mental defenses, but I guess that only goes to show that this hotel knows how to train its workers. He's also well connected with the criminal underworld at that if he's able to squeeze sensitive info of THAT nature out of Lilith.....or this place was able to pay her exoberate prices when they put a number to it! Bah, damn butlers, seeming innocent servents, but hiding all sorts of nasty secrets and surprises! Raaaagh....so long as he doesn't give either of us too many problems while serving our needs, I've got no Cubones with him.....

'Hmm....good idea, Reiner. You can make a copy of that section before heading we hit the hay, or I will if we haven't made any headway on switching ourselves back into our rightful bodies. It be juuuuust our luck if the process for that required journeying to the ends of the earth to fight an army of Ghost, Bug, and Dark types in order to accomplish this, with who knows WHAT else harrying us along the way! Please, oh please let this be simple for once.....'

'.....Haaaaa, Reiner, I honestly, truly, and REALLY don't want to deal with anymore Archie business right now besides Mina if I HAVE to, alright? I'm tired, hungry, wounded and aching all over in a body that isn't even mine, and now have to deal with an overcompetent butler, and an angry and betrayed feeling thief, all while keeping up the act of being you in front of everyone and scheming up a way to reverse our latest allotment of misfortune and Frustration. Let's...let's just wait for dinner, question Mina and/or Riza afterwards and shake Arial down for the secret information he's safeguarding, and THEN work on switching ourselves back to our bodies, k? You can sort out business with Lilith yourself without my approval or me needing hovering over your shoulder while I continue brainstorming. Anything more than that and I'm liable to start testing if can upgrade you psychic powers and use them on the nearby furniture out of sheer bleeding stress!'

You could then feel the roiling waves of stress, resentment, tiredness, and an overall sense of exhaustion coming from deep within them, and it was taking quite a bit out of them just to act 'normal' enough to everyone here while keeping your characteristic calm/coolness. Being you is hard work while your suffering the effects of a looooong night's work, don't you know?
