[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Randolph heads to the Snowpoint City Gym.  Whether he encounters Karen on his way out, I'll leave to you guys to decide.  (Suggestion: It'd be a convenient way for Karen to find out about the strange pokemon as well if she wanted to investigate it.)

What matters right now is that Randolph is also challenging the gym!

The gym guide looks a little confused to see Randolph when the blacksmith enters the icy gym.

"...wait a second, don't I know you from somewhere...?  Oh yeah, you're Randolph, from Canalave City, right?  I remember ya from Byron's Gym.  Whatcha doin' here?  Thought you weren't doin' the gym challenge."

Man, this guy really gets around, doesn't he?

I say that old Wolfe does bump into her on the way into Candace's Gym, and I'd also say he'd be keen enough to pick up that she won against the Gym Leader in question, earning her a raised eyebrow of surprise from him until he grunts and nods to her.

"So ya beat Miss Jackie Frost, eh? Well, congratulation, lass. Didn't think you had it in ya, but I suppose you're got some real metal hidden in ya after all. *Quietly Mumbles* Maybe Old Fashion wasn't totally off his rocker, calling in this wee girl for this barmy job..... (I'll leave it to you if she would hear this part) *Shakes head* Anyway, I got business with that candy lass herself, so I'll be heading in to chew it out with her. If ya looking for something else to occupy yourself with, I spotted this.....weird looking cat bat critter arriving from Lake Acuity. *Half shrugs* Left Kogeki to investigate it or not while I handle the Gym, but if ya want to check it out yourself too, knock yourself out."

That bluntly and concisely said, Ran moves past Karen and enters the Gym. He lets out grunting hiss of displeasure as the super cold winter wonderland that the gelid gal set up, rubbing his hands together and taking out his flask of cocoa to down a cup in order to fortify himself from the cold, before continuing his march.

"Mit Hammer und Amboss weiß ich nicht, wie man mit dieser Kälte umgehen kann und wie es sich anfühlt, als wäre es nur eine warme Sommerbrise! Ich schwöre, entweder sind die Leute hier selbst Teil des Eistyps, oder das Wetter hat ihren Sinn ebenso eingefroren wie ihren gesunden Menschenverstand. Bah!"

When the Gym Attendate speaks up and questions his purpose of entering these frosted hall, the midget man immediately turned to give the man the most withering, dispassionate, and irritated glare imaginable!

"And I thought I told ya to mind ya own damn business and keep your nose out of me affairs, or I'd dig ya out of them with my pickaxe. *Eyes gleam* Or have ya forgotten the nice little chat we had about that. If you have, I wouldn't mind one bit reminding you of. Every. Single. Detail.With. Greater. Detail. Well?"

Well?
