[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Dumb snake. As Officer Jenny eventually arrives though, Kee switches his attention to her, packs away the headphones and performs a semi-playful salute to her. "Be greeted, officier!~ Your arrival shall end this pathetic situation for good!!" He also proceeds to scratch and stroke Octavia all to calm her down, as at the sight of that Houndoom!! she cuddled up closer into her caretaker's shoulder, lowered her ears and protectively held her ribbons in front of her; as in contrary to poison, she has nothing to efficiently defend herself from fire. They'll just burn up her scattered fairy dust in the blink of an eye.

"Uh, for what's going on....." He just shrugs pretty indifferently. "I was thinking nothin' bad was enjoyin' a drink in that bar *points to it* when THIS guy *nods towards the Roughneck* held me for an easy target to mess with. I WASN'T causing any trouble, I just came to this town a few hours ago. Forced me into a Pokemon Fight as I wasn't responding to him the way he wanted me to. Must have underestimated my skill though because in the end, I showed him that I don't like being messed with. Bartender knows more... They called you. Not me."

In the meantime, Core has made it to walk up to his Master, and he immediately noticed that his musical dino isn't as lax and carefree like he usually was, he even whined a bit and, even MORE unusual, has lowered his music's volume. Kee does not hesitate and comes down to be on eye-level with him. "Come on, show me that arm of yours where that snake.... Ugh." He flinches at the sight of that nasty wound and picks his Paraudio up to carry 'em in his arms. "Oh, AND that guy let loose his disobediant Arbok at me and my own Pokemon - If I wouldn't have the means to defend myself, they could have been killed. Or that cobra could have attacked me." He shakes his head at SUCH a horrible imagination. "You've...maybe got something to patch up these bad wounds (cure the lethal damage), officer? The Pokemon's Center a few hundred meters away from here and I'm, well, not the fastest person."

Officer Jenny and her Houndoom glare at the Roughneck.  "Is this true?"

Roughneck Jeremy just sputters some incomprehensible excuse.

"Houndoom, watch him."

*Ruff!*  Houndoom walks over to the Roughneck and continues to glare at him, snarling and looking extra menacing if he thinks the Roughneck is about to try anything funny.

Officer Jenny, meanwhile, has walked over to Core and Kee.  "Let me see you're pokemon real quick."

Assuming Kee does, the officer kneels down and carefully examines the bite wound and takes notes and pictures for evidence, then attempts to Stabilize it.

*rolls*

She wraps Core's arm up real tight after disinfecting the wound.  "I'm not a doctor, and I need to save most of my medical supplies for larger emergencies, but that should hold until you reach the Pokemon Center at least.  Nurse Joy should be able to handle the rest.  I recommend you head to the Center ASAP once I'm done taking statements.  If you don't mind, I'd like you to come inside while I talk with the barkeep, just in case there are any more questions I need you to answer."  Core's Lethal Damage is Stabilized.

Officer Jenny stands back up and turns to face the Roughneck.  "You're coming with me, sir.  Houndoom, continue to keep an eye on him.  Let's go talk with the barkeep."

*Ruff!*

The barkeep doesn't have much more to add to the situation when Officer Jenny talks with him, other than reaffirming that this isn't the first time that Jeremy has caused a public disturbance.  After gathering the evidence, Officer Jenny thanks Kee and the barkeep, and she and Houndoom haul Roughneck Jeremy away to whatever cell he's going to be sitting in for the next day or two while he awaits charges.

Kee gets 6 experience, and Core, Octavia, and Mercury all get 4.  The barkeep gives Kee $2000 and a free round of drinks as compensation for the trouble.
