[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

The moment Ran gazed upon Sally as he broke through the ice, his already irritated expression turned sour, and seeing her treat the wee lass so disrespectfully only served to intensify that look. Ultimately, this leads to him use her as a verbal and (in opinion) well-deserved target of some good old fashion venting and back sass!

"That piss-poor attitude of yours and acting like a Mudsbray may have something to do with her aversion towards ya. Among other things, but I doubt you'd care to find out for yourself without someone yanking your head out of you arse, ya Frosslass cold, self centered brat."

ICE BURN!

Once the 'honorable' anubis is put up (or not), the midget man turns his attention towards Lucas, looking supremely unimpressed.

"Blue bitch is Charming as ever, I se. Ya think she'd grow up or pick up some damn manners after all this time, but I guess saying 'Old dogs can't learn new tricks' ring true for her, huh lad?"

Ran's not sparing the champ from his displeasure, oh no!

He's happy to see Kogeki get his mask back, though, which DOES improve his mood a tad bit!

"....... Wie heißt ein Scizor in der Ersten Flamme, der hier oben gefroren ist? Und warum ist es so eingerichtet wie ein Geselle oder so?"

Translation: ...What in the First Flame's name is a Scizor doing Frozen up here? And why is it kitted out like some.....journeyman, or something?

That's what the dwarven craftsman has to say upon seeing the ironclad insect fully thawed out and released from its icy prision, a puzzled look adorning his face, before he shook his head with a small frown. Whatever the case with this red mantis was, it probably has something to do with the Tauros shit supernatural mystery force, so puzzling over it won't do him any good. Not until the group has a chance to do a proper inspection of and  'question'  it, at least.

He would've offered to take care of the mystery Scizors (Something he probably has a little experience in, via his friend Alman), but after the champ and cyborg ninja swoop in to do so he just and leaves it to them. As for Lucas' request, the bristly blacksmith politely frown and respectfully as he could shook his head.

"Can't. Got to check out that Frosslass that tried to turn us into ice encrusted statues and see if they'd that 'old lady's' friend, and then deliver them to her ASAP. Promised to her that I would 'take care of them' in exchange for more information about this goddamn mojo jojo mucking about with everything, and I'm a man of my word. If you have a Pokemon that can FLY or Teleport me and them over to them, though, I'd appreciate ya lending them to me, so I can get that done quick as a Zebrastrike and back just fast."

His tone is firm yet chagrined and regretful, as if he didn't want to ditch everyone and duck out of this, but a promise is a promise, and he wants that info the old crone is holding out from him until he's fulfilled it.

Lucas doesn't look amused with Randolph's comments.  "If you're going to badmouth me and my pokemon, Randolph, think about your words a little more carefully.  Her attitude has nothing to do with why Karen's nervous around her, and you and I both know that, particularly since this is the first time they've been in the same general vicinity as each other.  I'm working on it.  People and pokemon don't change in a day."

Lucas simply recalls his pokemon at that point and ends the conversation there.  No attempts to be clever or fire back at Randolph, just a simple, straightforward response.

--------------------------------------------

As for Randolph's request to borrow a flier, Lucas asks for some more details first.  "Did she specify exactly what she knows?  If she knows something about what might be going on with Mount Coronet, then I see no issue with a quick trip back, but time is of the essence.  If she doesn't know much, it might just be wasting time.  Also..."

Lucas looks around the cave, a little confused.  In the rush to make sure everyone was okay, it seems he'd missed a few details.

"...where IS that Froslass, anyways?  Kee, you said you were fighting the real one, right?  Where'd they go?  Did you catch them?"
