[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

"Oh no, it's not a bother at all.  It's quite cold outside right now, after all.  Almost unnaturally so, in fact.  You're more than welcome to stay here and warm up a little."

The way the elderly lady says that particular word is...odd.  She put a LOT of emphasis on its pronunciation for some reason...

She continues the conversation without missing a beat as she heads over to her kitchen to check on whatever she's brewing up, though.

"So, you're going on a little hike, are you?  I take it that means you're heading to Mt. Coronet?"

Being no half-wit by any means, Ran immediately picks up the kindly crone had some sort of inkling about what was up with the kooky weather/Weather that's been plague the area lately, and decides to lightly press her about it. After he thanked the woman for her hospitality and some small talk, of course. You don't leap headlong into such things when your a quest, you know! Ain't proper etiquette or respectful to do so!

"Glad to hear that, and thank ya again for letting me in. Really appreciate it, ESPECIALLY with how blisteringly chilly it is outside. I heard and knew it was frosty up here in these parts, but I didn't imagine it'd be so gottverdammt  intolerably frigid! Heck, the weather outside is giving me Ice Types the shivers! If that ain't unusually cold, I don't know what could be!"

*Huffs, before calming down*

".....Sorry 'bout that outburst, but as ya can already tell, I'm no fan of these chilly climes, unlike a certain pig-tailed Gym Leader. Don't know how she can tolerate it in that skimpy get-u[ of hers and be so damn cheerful, but that's young one for ya. Always quick to adapt and adjust to darn near anything, even if they do it in the most hair brained of ways. Bah...."

Once he fully settles down and finishes venting, finally cuts to the chase.

"Enough of my gripping, though. Got anything to say yourself about this? Sounds like you got a clue to what's up and lurking behind, which is more that what I or my partners can say for certain right now..."

As for own question, he answers it easily enough.

"Yes mam, and you're correct. Me and my partners are heading their to investigate old Coronot after hearing all the wacky and strange claims being bandied about it lately, and see if we can't do something about it if those people jabberings have some Nugget of truth to them. Any advice or news about the mountain you can share you'd think lend us a Helping Hand?"
