[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Original Post

"Today is the 6th of June.  Hard to believe with how frigid it is outside, I know, but that's just how it is this far north in Sinnoh."

Rowan shakes Kee's hand, then answers his main question in detail (sort of).  "Part of the negotiations I was doing earlier involved getting funds for supplementary supplies.  I got enough for 4 trainers, seeing as I originally recruited that many.  Seeing as the 4th person I just recruited is more than capable of obtaining their own supplies, though, I don't think he'll mind if I give his share to you, Kee.  It is only supplementary, however.  Be prepared to spend about two days on the Routes that lead to Mt. Coronet.  Scaling the mountain via the interior typically takes several days as well, as it is the largest landmark in the Sinnoh region.  Having many Potions and status healing items, particularly for Poison and Confusion, is generally recommended for long visits to cave interiors.  Having items that can defrost pokemon would also be advisable, given the large number of Ice types that live on and around the mountain.  That is just based on my own experiences climbing the mountain when it isn't out of whack, though, so be prepared for anything.  I don't know what exactly you all are going to find in there.  As such, though, having plenty of strong pokeballs would also be recommended.  If a foe is particularly tough but you've managed to weaken them, a well thrown pokeball can easily end the battle right then and there, as well as possibly reward you with a rare or powerful pokemon species."

When hearing that today's the 6th OF JUNE, Kee choked on his drink and almost fell from the chair. Boi, if it's that cold around this place at the beginning of summer, he's feeling highly lucky that he didn't end here in autumn or, worse, in the dead of the winter. Probably wouldn't have survived this without suffering frostbites all over.

Ohh, free cash for supplementary supplies/supplies themselves is nothing he'd deny ever, so that's bringing some cheer back to him and causes him to perfom yet another of these silly playful salutes to Prof.Rowan. "Understood, professor!~ Good advice, I think, will keep it in mind." "F.... freakin' Ice Types..." he quietly adds in a grumbling tone before he proceeds to absent-mindedly stroke and pet the shiny furball in his lap, earning more affectionate purring from her. 'Status healing items, huh? Well, with you by my side I could invest a good portion of the cash for these otherwise', he also thinks to himself.


With that, he leans back to quietly listen in to the further conversations as he's lacking any more questions for now. Kee's just 'being there', paying attention even if he looks like he doesn't and enjoys his drink.... Until Randolph voices his displeasure quite efficiently and bluntly towards the good professor that is, causing him to throw more and more interested and even admiring glances to Ran and Octavia turning away from the noise and negativities. That old midget's having way waaaay more guts than he looks like having, which's refreshing and somewhat pleasant to see! He doesn't deny that it's having potential to cause problems (like it quite did in front of his eyes just now), but that's a necessary side effect as fas as Kee's seeing it. He makes a mental note of not angering him unless being provoked by him himself.

Once Randolph's turning silent again, Kee quietly speaks up to him. (@Lord Windos ) In German, and in a sing-sang-/semi-admirering tone of voice . "Man, Ran, du bist ja fast genauso toxisch wie Miss toxischer-Arenaleiter selbst. ^0^ I like that!~ E.....Anyway, ya said you'll visit the local temple tomorrow mornin', right? *piercing stare* Mind if I do.....tag along with ya? It feels like a waste to not visit this temple now that I ended up in this town, seeing as it some sort of important, almost sacred place." He takes a last big sip from his drink, his last one for today (hopefully, or otherwise your hangover will be just as massive like the temple's wall), then continues to admit that "I never really saw the appeal of challenging Gym Leaders myself to earn a badge to be proud of for some reason, so being allowed to visit this place by joining someone who officially is allowed to is coming 'long very convenient."
