[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Mercury's doing as asked and glides back to perch onto Kee's shoulder after the act of defrosting has succeeded. "Took exactly 197 seconds with that fiery turtle's help, squawk!~" He receives a gentle pat on the head and a tasty cracker as a reward, which the musical parrot thankfully starts to nibble on

Brigid smiles a bit at the time keeping birb’s remark, happy that she was able to free the Scizors so quickly! Though she rarely shows it, she takes pride like any other Fire type in their flames power, and it’s always gratifying to hear others appreciate it too!

+++ Concerning Ran and Lucas getting at each other over the latter's Lucario: +++


This fight is not missed by Octavia, she decides she's having enough of that and sharply hisses at BOTH Ran and Lucas. In addition she also waves her ribbons around in an attempt to calm the situation down and takes a protective stance in front of Karen. Soon enough Kee's attention is caught too, all he does however is throwing a calm "CUT IT OUT, ya two, NOW. Lucas, please take care that yar Pokemon aren't actin' rude to people. Ran, please don't start fights whenever there's 'n opportunity to do so, we've got more important issues." That's all, he averts his attention again.

Seeing the fae fox rush in and start menacingly hiss at him like some sort of fuzzy, mythical snake beast causes Ran to abruptly stop his arguing/fussing to leap a little away from them with a startled and slightly fearful “GAH!” The super-hot tortoise, still pretty keyed up about her master getting pelted and frosted over by the chilly specters, does not like when that happens. At all. She stomps forward to meet this furry fairy, her long neck craned up to loom over them, a most displeased expression adorning her normally tranquil face. Do not mess with Ran, Octavia, or you will incite MY wrath instead.

Kee’s brisk and firm call for deceasing of this hot conversion manages to focus the bristly blacksmith on them, snapping him out of his surprise and fixing them with one of his trademark Angry Glares ® . He was not exactly pleased with the dandy man interfering with this matter; who would have guessed?

Then after a moment he almost snarls out “Fine,” turning away from the rest of the group was prepared to march off away from them (and later do a sweep of the area), particularly the champ, in purest frustration….

Concerning the argument:

Lucas was originally trying to drop the topic, and gives Octavia a thankful nod and a pat on the head. "You're right, Kee. We have other things to worry about besides how well I'm doing my job. As I said, I'm working on it. I'll talk to Sally a little later about her behavior...again. No need for anyone else to concern themselves with it unless it directly affects them." Lucas gives Randolph one last unamused look before turning his attention to the cave that Froslass had been guarding.

Oof. Shots fired. And hopefully the end of the argument right then and there.

Karen's quietly standing on the sidelines, trying to stay out of the argument as best as she can.

….until they opened their damn mouth and said that. Quick as a Hitmontop, he spin around to level them one nasty glare that do Zorn’s own justice.

“One bad egg can spoil the whole damn carton, ‘cause its stink will reach ever single one of them. Sooner or later. As an experience [u]Pokemon Champion[/i], I thought you knew this already. *Snorts* Maybe you’re more of a fool that I thought. You’re giving me plenty of evidence that ain’t suggesting otherwise.”

Randolph looked like he was about to continue his impassioned tirade, until he suddenly stopped , and with a deep breath and heavy *Sigh* slowly shook his head in frustration, his entire expression twisted by that very feeling.

“Bah...I’m not going to waste my breath on you anymore right now. ‘Cause there’s no point trying to get you, a Swagger filled, know it all Trainer with too much blind faith in himself and his Pokemon, to open his ears and listen. “

Saying that, he got a odd look as something crossed his mind, before abruptly let out a mean sounding chuckle, shaking his head in amuse before giving Lucas a wry grin.

“You know what? That might be the problem with that mutt of yours, boy. *Chuckles* After all…she had to get her attitude from somewhere, and I sure as hell know it was not from her actual daddy.”

Shots fired back. Yeouch.

Then, in a deliberate gesture of blatant disrespect, smartly turn his back on the boy hero and walked away, seeking his own consul for the time being until he could stand to be civil around them again and work together with the purely professionally. Brigid and Amethyst soon followed after, but not before the former of which gave a concerned look at her master back and then an apologetic one to Lucas. Amethyst…well, I’m not too sure what she would think of this spat, if she even cared enough about it to begin with.
