[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Ran lets out an distinctly unfriendly/grouchy grumble as he takes Jynx's and lets her pull him up, which should be an easy feat for her considering she's roughly only 3 inches or so taller/shorter than him.

"Yeah yeah, yuck it up... Lucky for you that I didn't break me back or crack my head against the floor, or otherwise you wouldn't have gotten the rest of your gifts. You know, on account of me being unconscious or dead from the slipping to my untimely demise. Not everyone is a natural born Ice waltzer like you, Jynx, *Grumble grumble* ...."

He gets over his pratfall soon enough, though, and completes the handshake with Jynx, before he Captures her in a regular Pokeball, made room for her in his current party by sending Beethoven to the PC, then promptly released the frosty lass, giving her a firm nod and faint smile of approval.

"Alright, we're partners now, Jynx. As such, I can't just call ya by your species name. *Shakes head* Too disrespectful of me to do that to ya, so you need a name. One that fits ya. Hmm.....how about Catherine? She was a queen of Russia - a land just as cold as this Temple here, if not more so in some areas, if ya can believe that! - long time ago, and she was one tough and noble ruler. *Nods* Think the name would fit ya like a glove, personally. *Questioning look* What do you think of it?"

Fast forward a bit, and the bristly blacksmith has this question to ask his cold dancer.

"Okay, got a quick question for ya: What can you Forewarn me about the next Floor? Or anything strange or spooky about this place in general? Me and my friends are heading down their soon as we can escape this blasted mazes, so any info you can give me on it can help us out a lot."

Jynx doesn't particularly mind that nickname.  Being a queen of an icy kingdom sounds like something that she might find fun, in fact.


When Randolph asks Catherine to use her Ability, she focuses for a moment...

Insight: (5)(5)(2)(1)

Cold.  REALLY cold.  And a feeling of the wind blowing past.

That's the sense that Randolph gets from the Jynx's mental Forewarning.  Catherine shudders.  She's been avoiding those downstairs areas recently for a reason...
