[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

"Your guess is as good as mine, I've only been in Sinnoh for around 6 months, and that was mostly spent in the southern part." Karen then readdresses the question to the old man; "So, we still in Sinnoh? Or somewhere else?"

The old man wanders back into the room, pushing a cart with 4 bowls of stew and 5 cups of hot chocolate.  He leaves it in front of the chairs, grabs one of the cups of hot chocolate, and sits down.

"Aaaaahhhh, that feels so much better than standing.  Help yourselves.  Two of those bowls and cups are for your friends when they arrive."

He chuckles when Karen asks if they're in Sinnoh.  "Oh no, I'm afraid we aren't in Sinnoh, my dear.  Ohhohoho."

Now that Karen looks around and smells the food, though...some of it seems familiar. As in, it's the same style of food and decor found in Johto.  But it's not entirely the same, and Karen can't quite put her finger on why...

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Ah, there they are now.  Excuse me for a moment."

The old man gets up, walks to the door, and opens it.  The noise caused by the howling snowstorm (which completely drowned out Randolph's exclamation and speculation) returns, but the old man can be heard clearly above the din somehow.  "Come in, come in.  I've been expecting you.  Make yourselves at home.  There's some warm stew and hot chocolate by the fire for you."

When Kogeki and Randolph have entered the building, the door is shut once more, and the snowstorm is left outside once again (and Abra is still somehow sleeping through it all).  The group's host then makes his way back to his seat and sips on his hot cocoa, waiting for the inevitable questions.

Kogeki quietly takes a seat and some of the provided refreshments.
