[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Funny, 'cuz that's what Nurse Joy thinks of the local Black Belts and Battle Girls too

As you were specifically looking for people at the port, I'll say interacting with one of the random NPCs is required in this case.

Unfortunately, Franco doesn't know a whole lot about prosthetic technology.  He does know something interesting, though, being a well traveled tourist.  "I once heard a rather isolated region had a bunch of people running around with prosthetic hands at one point.  Don't really know why or where exactly that was, but if you were to find someone from that region, I bet they could tell ya whatever ya need to know.  Or at the very least, more than what I could.  I've honestly never really had a need to look into stuff like that myself."

----------------------------------------------------

@Spiritmon, Kogeki can join in on the conversation with this bonus NPC as well if you wish.  And you can pick one of the other two trainers to interact with as well.

The person in question is wearing a hooded robe that obscures their features if you aren't making an effort to look at their face, given that the hood is currently up.  The sleeves also cover the person's arms up to their wrists and the person's legs down to their ankles.

The voice that responds to Randolph is decidedly feminine.

"Oh, this thing?"  *holds the 'gloved' hand in front of her*  "...well, that's rather astute of you.  Most passerby just assume it's a glove of some kind."  *wiggles the fingers*  "I know a few things about cybernetics, though I'm hardly an expert myself.  Are you SURE you have the Skill to replicate something like this, though?  This is quite the complicated piece of machinery, you know.  Not to put you down or anything, but you don't exactly look like a neuroscientist or robotics engineer."




She crosses her arms in front of her, waiting for a response.

(OOC: Windos, have you set your pokemon's Abilities for the day?)

"Hmm.....*Nods* thank ya for the information, lad. Hope your sightseeing doesn't end with you getting frostbite, like with that lass over there *Yerks a thumb back at the Battle Girl in question*."

(...)

The midget man let out a small *Snort* at her light praise, giving the hooded lass a shrewd look as he sharply nodded.

"Yes, that fancy 'n highly articulated hand of yours. I'm an expert on metal working - not to toot my own horn, but its Heatran's honest truth! - and I can tell the difference between a bit of fashionable set dressing and an actual piece of machinery. And that prosthetic of yours is a fine example of some bleeding edge tech. Probably better than a regular old hand in many a way, I take it?"

"*Huffs a bit* Ever heard of Canalave Gym? Place is a veritable jungle gym of moving machinery and electrical engineering, and I've worked on and built many of the things in it. Heck, I even designed  some of the machinery and tech in there, and it's still being put to good use last I checked! I'm no tech-head or doc, but I am a damn fine craftsman and metal smith, I know many ways with and around machinery, and I'm no fucking idiot. I will build this prosthetic for my friend, even if takes years of blood, sweat, and banging my head against all the walls in my way! Now, can ya tell me about that arm of yours, or are you going to keep your lips welded shut too, lass?"
