[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Strange. That's highly strange, but okay, Kee's noting and accepts that. Is this a quirk of the Sinnoh region or such????


Not having an program or app to translate braille is true, but Kee could make one real quick. But he does not want to do in the cold interior of the temple, it's that simple. Doin' so by hand is it then!~ He mutters something like "Don't make Unown angry, Kogeki - that's a certain path leadin' to disaster and trouble, they usually don't attack unless provoked", having believed that the ninja would be smart like that. Appearantly not, fuuu. :C

Kee's adamant on advancing to the next floor, not enjoying how cold it is down here even with that nice red cloak Karen wanted him to buy. So deciphering that message would at least keep him busy in a productive sense, win-win. It took him a little, but eventually he stares at the page in his notebook with a slightly puzzled look, the turns towards the others. "Eh.... What's the name of the current era again? It says that's what the door wants to know to open."

Kogeki try to think about that puzzle. "Well...while I was searching a wall, I found a group of Unow in the wall. I try to analyze one of them, but they get angry and attack me and my Pokemon. I was able to dispatch them, but they escape to another dimension. The message was: The Top Left is the Key. Whatever this mean."

Assuming Ran points out that the pattern in the corner he saw before and Kogeki mentions the Unown sentence (Top left is the key), Karen says "I think that pattern is the key we need to decipher the message." she twirls her bang on her finger thinking; "If that is the case, the key should be in alphabetical order."

When the group reunites, Ran is somewhat relieved to find that everyone else was in fine enough condition. Looks like he won't have to go hunting through that 'natural' maze for them....or what remained, and break the news to the rest/their close ones later. Thank Heatran for small blessings like that! 

The sight of the stairs being sealed off caused him to deadpan and nearly let out a sigh of displeasure, until he noticed the braille patterning parts of it. Then he grew equal parts curious and frustrated as he realized that what seemed to be puzzle of sorts blocked the way forward, and they (he and the group) had to decode and solve it if they want to progress.

"Grah.....this investigation is getting closer and closer to resembling some of the sort of convoluted mysteries I've read, and if it's anything like them the answers to it won't be a walk in the park. Bah....."

Happily, between Kogeki, Karen, and Kee (The Triple K Triad!), they were able to translate and solve part of the mystery (Kogeki get's cuffed hard on the waist when he reveals he screwed around with Unown, though, totally agreeing with Kee's faint remarks - "Messing with a group of Unown is a fool's game, so hopefully I've knocked enough sense in ya not to do it again!  Count your blessings they didn't blast your arse to kingdom come, or royal fuck you over in some other arcane way of their's....."), which from there it didn't even take a moment for him to provide an answer to the question the sour dandy translated.

"Cenozoic. If that door's asking what I think it is, the answer is Cenozoic. That's the current era of the world on the geological time scale."
