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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Arial makes a worry face after remembering he have forgot to returned his Pokemons back to their Pokeballs, but he was gadly to know his Pokemons respect the moment, even Gaspar. "*Sigh* I will to take a conversation with my brother after our meeting."

Notable to say, he was quite happy in see his girfriend lean in his side. "Huh, we have indeed take whole new level in the saying: "Put the house down". The destructive power of a Legendary Pokemon never cease to make me impress. No wonder they are considered "gods". Never going to make Mew anger anymore." Arial gaze in the direction of the now demolite factory, seeing all the Helicopters and National Guard.

Despite be gadly to be alive, he cant hide the sadness he feel in the moment. "You know Riz, I very happy to be alive." Say Arial looking to Riza. "To be with you, and to be with my Pokemons. To be here looking at this big sky. But...despite that, I cant hide the sadness I feel like this. Even if the place was filled with Nuclear Pokemon, Sekmet prove to me even Nucmons can be good, and they have a chance to be better, only if you try hard. This week show me even the most dangerous and perilous path can have a light in the end...I understand why Reiner and Mew exploded the place, but I cant help but to disagree with them. Despite they danger, those pokemon was...alive. They could have a chance to redeem themselves, and to live a life."

"You and Sekmet its a living proof to that. No matter what life make you, you can always find a better path. Thats what this long week show me. It is strange Riz?"

Arial for a moment hold Riza hand, fear in a instant she would disappear. "Guess there is no use in overthink that I guess. I never was the most smart guy (despite have 4 in Knowledge). What is done is done. Looking at the bright side, my job as a bodyguard for Reiner finally done. I can finally ask my boss to have a well deserved vacations, and we can finally set sail to Tandor. Cant wait to drink Coconut Milk in Bealbeach City. My god, its been years since I drink one, but even now I can still remember the flavor. Hmm, maybe I should stop think that before I get thristy. Gonna share with you when we go there dear. There is a lot of places I would like to show you in my home City. But I was thinking in make a home in Baykal Forest. Quiet place, lots of nature for Melchior and Asura to enjoy themselves. And of course visit Big Momma too." Arial then look to Riza. "What? You think I forgot my promise to help you see her? I a man with word Riza."

Arial feel quite happy to finally have a moment to be more calm and normal after such crazy week. He is a madman, but he sometimes just want to have a good old normal moment. There is however a question who was lurking around in his head, but he fear to make such question because he dont want to make Riza upset, so he make with all caution of the world. "Hmm, Riza, could you mind if I ask you a personal question." Arial say with a face who make clear he is not comfortable in make such question. "If you...could have the chance of becoming human again, but still be yourself, would you take the chance? You dont have to answer the question. I already stated I love you not matter what."

Riza doesn't look all too bothered or concerned that your two's get together had an audience, only caring and being focused on her Mate and the Warmth she's filled with because of him. So nice.....

~~~

The devastation caused by that and your commentary on it manages to rouse her partially out of her blissful Warmth and look upon the scene with some discomfort, as unlike the party she got to witness the full might of that and its immediate aftermath. To say that it had be frightening and unnerving would be an understatement for her, so looking back/focusing on that part of the city was not a feel good reminiscing for her. With you by her side, though, she could handle the sight without getting too rattled.

Your bittersweet realization about Nuclear Pokemon is meet with the reformed vampire turning towards and looking at you with uncertainty, mild disagreement, but understanding too. Her opinion on Nucmons were more in line with the public's, due to her being around first hand when the Nuclear Disaster happened and seeing/hearing about the horrors of it, so she didn't quite agree with your new opinion out of perfectly justified fear. On the other hand, she knew from Sekmet that not all of the irradiated beasts were bad, she now has Lead Bug to take care of, and she obviously agreed with your underlying rhetoric given both their situations, so she's not dismissive (well, as she could be) of your belief and easily accepted it. Pretty good reaction, all things considered.

{Strange, Weird.......Yes. But......Not Bad Strangeness. Without, Not Meet You. Never.....Become Better. Find Love. So....It Is Good. Strangeness Good....}

(Your chara smart in your own right, its just that his madness and chaotic nature obscures his brilliance most of the time, and most people overlook it, including Arial himself, amusingly enough.)

Riza seemed to become excited at the prospect of you retiring from your duty of body guarding your Boss and returning to Tandor, if her jerking her head towards you looking astonished, then suddenly wrapping her four arms around you in an bone crush hug and started chittering energetically/in joy was any indication. Amusingly enough, you learnt then you couldn't actually understand Riza when she was 'talking' that fast, but given how demonstrative the Bug Lady was, the 'language' barrier was hardly an issue. Man, you're just making this the best night of your girlfriend life , with all the right moves! Arial gains 2 XP for great roleplay!

Heady sweet romance must eventually come to an end, however, and that moment came when you asked for permission to inquire personally about Riza, which caused her to release you from her hug and look up at you, looking/appearing just as uncomfortable as you were (if not more so) at the request. Her history and private thoughts concerning herself/her past were very touchy topics, due to how.....interesting and intense it all was for her (to say the least), so sharing/offering anything related to those aspects of herself was often an answer that begged for a problem. 

After your two's declaration of love, however, the insectile woman felt a lot more confidant and self-assured about herself and your views/relationship with her, so after spending a minute thinking about it, she hesitantly nodded back, signaling for you to go ahead. She trusted you. Your Big Question......well, that caused her to start a little, backpeddling a bit away and looking at you with wide eyes, looking rather stricken and.....vulnerable. If it wasn't for recent development and your careful delivery of said question, you had no doubt she'd have a much more extreme reaction, as her humanity was the touchiest of touchy topics for her.

This stare off continued for five long minutes in complete silence, her not blinking once in that time. You thought she was not going to answer, until she slowly looked to the ground.It was so quiet you almost missed it. Riza......she just looked so small and miserable right now at that admission. 

{.......Yes.......}

Thanks to your efforts and constant reassurances to the contrary, she doesn't fully view herself as a Monster anymore and has attained some measure of peace about her condition, but when you're presented with a question like that.......how can you not be affected like so?
