[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

When Kee give Kogeki that sarcasm smile and question him, he do gave him a answer. "You do know this place have the time and space distorted right? Unless you have some good equippment, or have the eyes of a god, its almost impossible to find a fixable path with a more quick way. We have luck to have such item as that badge Scizor hold. Unless of course you have the eyeballs of a god inside your bag, I open to suggestions. I wanted to carry a piece of a god with me. Even more if is cut by me."

Kogeki let the question be in the air, with a morbid atmosphere in the air. Until he speak again. "....Relax. It is a joke." And then he decided to do a few things.

Talking a dead sense of humor.

Ohhh, Kee likes that sort of humor. He's also happy that FOR ONCE the semi-cyborg ninja did not answer in a super-serious manner, and it shows by Kee giving him a sly smile. "Oh, good equipment I - actually all of us - have, we had our time to prepare for that trip, didn't we~~ Eyeballs with a god-like vision would be useless too if I were to keep 'em in mah bag, nah... And they'd make a total mess, that too." He then playfully shivers a little, then just laughs in a melodic way.

Before he gives Kogeki a questioning look, this time without sarcasm. "Aha. And why d'ya want to cut off a piece of a creature - Pokemon - spoken 'bout in legends or worshipped as a god? Some sort of treasure for ya to keep?"

Ran would jolt slightly at the unexpected contact, and give the colorful musician a raised eyebrow for it and being their usual whimsical way, but he'd accept the tea without complaint, nodding when they also offer to spike it with some good o' alcohol.

"Yes, please. I need some libation after all the harrowing fights I've gotten into. Fought a Tyrantrum, a rampaging Shadow Gyarados, Shadow Mandibuzz and Shadow Rhyperior, and all of the were terrible, nasty bastards to fight. *Smirks* Well, except the Gyarados. Between Espeon's help and my girls Diam and Paula's debilitating tactics, we manage to subdue that big carp beast  unscathed. That was gratifying as hell, let me tell ya!"

Their talk of that singing being connected to that avalanche he head earlier nearly made him chock on his tea mid-swig, causing him to hack a few time before shooting him a look of alarmed intrigue.

"Wait, that darn singing caused that avalanche, and it almost got your little group swallowed up?! *Pinches nose in frustration* Gottverdammt. Shouldn't have brushed off both when it happened.... *Sighs* To answer you question, yes, I did, in case you couldn't tell. My group didn't get caught up in one, but some other fellow did. Found traces of his existence in the aftermath of an old avalanche, then we ended up tracking him down and saving his hide from falling straight off a cliff. He went by the name Johnathan, and he was some rich and fancy Fire type collector and breeder of sorts. Bit of a eccentric, but he was a nice enough gentleman. Scizors helped get him out of the Dungeon with that Badge of their's , so he's safe and sound by now, assuming he can make it back to civilization." (...)

That means one cup of black tea enhanced with some nice gin, Kee's happy to share one with that grumpy blacksmith.

Him recounting which feral Pokemon he fought earns him a expression that's best described as 'suprised with a bit of appreciation, some worry and a hint of amazement', Octavia also raises her head from Kee's lap to throw a curious glance at Ran. "Ah. That's quite a number of Shadowmon ya met 'nd fought.... But if ya managed to get away 'n purified 'em all, maybe ya've got a knack for 'em, that's pretty cool~"

The following recap, from how Ran's group heard that ominous singing too over noticing the avalanche that almost buried Kee's group too how they recued some Fire Type Enthusiast from certain death by falling down a cliff, is followed by Kee with quite the attention. Then he falls into pleasant silent as he appears to think about all that, especially about that eerie singing. Eventually: "Johnatthan, and a fan and semi-breeder of Fire Types.... That doesn't ring any bells, never heard of someone like that." *quick turn by 180 degree to a beaming smile!* "But that's a good deed of yours, savin' him 'nd sendin' him back to town. Well done~~"

(...) Lastly (for now), Kee's question about their Absol meeting gets them two raised eyebrows from the bristly blacksmith for a moment, before a pensive look crosses his face.

"....I'm not entirely sure. She's real Skittish, paranoid, and a tendency to be a wee bit more independent in her decision making than I like, but she doesn't seem all that adverse to company. We can do little meet-up between the two, if you want to find out for yourself, but if anything goes awry 'cause of it I'm holding you accountable. As for your idea, I think it has some merit. Amethyst's talents haven't been too useful in navigating this Dungeon or detecting danger in advance, but she's been able to pick up something nebulous, if her behavior 'round me after my fight with that Shadow Mandibuzz was any indication. I'll see if I can't fit her in my Party's lineup for the next Floor, alright?"

Ohhh, going straight to letting the two dark prophets meet one another - how bold, Kee definitely considers that. "Well yes, but actually no... Not right now, that is. That new Absol of mine went through me pursuing 'em - which they obvious disliked  - to fightin' 'gainst me, being KO'd and purified, then captured, guess that's enough action for a day. But I gladly get back to that idea 'nd offer, yes! If anythin' goes awry despite security measures, I'll take responsibility 'nd am to blame, naturally."

(Decided that Kee's Absol is a female exemplar too.)
