[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

Towards Karen's mindful words, Kee scratches his head in thought. "Well, yes and no... No, but actually yes. Such scales are usually used to 'volve a Kingdra, not much other use b'sides that is known. BUT me too feels that this scale from that Dragonair - your Dragonair now - is more th'n that, it most likely is. Well, or it only benefitc Dragonair 'EMSELVES? Ya could let 'em hold that scale and observe whether things are d'fferent when they're holdin' 'n not holdin' it, can ya?"

"Well, it's going to be hard to tell what's special for now, I guess, since Dragonair's unconscious and all."

That makes Kee facepalm over himself. Has he worded things wrongly or weirdly? "Aww damn Karen-dear, none's askin' ya to find out right now nor at once, do take yar time! Just... What I meant was lettin' yar Dragonair hold this scale if ya're sending 'em into a battle 'gainst some feral or agressive 'Mon, ya see? Maybeh ya'll notice their attacks bein' stronger thanks to the scale or somethin' like this."

In a more non-chalant way he adds "Even if there's no effect, Dragonair may still enjoy keepin' this scale with 'em, or ya could trade or sell it for some noce stuff!~"

Espeon, being highly dutiful and used to these kinds of situations, simply gives Octavia a brief nod.  He then turns to give Rui a mildly concerned look as she continues to absentmindedly stroke him.

Karen, noticing this, walks over and sits down next to Rui.  She hugs her legs as she converses with the redhead.  "Are you okay, Rui?"

Rui sighs as she looks over the water.  "...I don't know...I still don't remember anything before waking up in this mountain...who I am, what I was doing, why I can see those black auras...it's all just...one big blank.  Espeon's my only clue regarding my past, and I don't even know how much of what they 'said' I should believe..."

Rui looks at Karen, sad and uncertain.  "Do you think we're close to the top yet?  Do you...think I'll get my memories back before this is all over?"

Karen returns Rui's look, but does her best to remain positive.  "I don't know...but we aren't going to find out until we get there!  Don't let it worry you too much, okay?"

Rui looks back over the water, still uncertain.  "I guess...*sigh*...you guys just all seem to know what you're doing and why you're here, though.  At least, more than I do..."

Oh... Octavia tilts her head and frowns over Espeon, feeling a little taken-aback by his reaction. He's so dutiful and dedicated, isn't that draining him at some point...?

When he moves his gaze to Rui, Octavia does so too, then chirps lowly at her; it sounds quite sad and a little startled. How confused and lonely this nice lady must be even with this nice Psychic Eeveelution with her - Octavia throws one quick look over to Kee, though is actually sure that he doesn't mind - no, she feels like he'd even appreciate if she were to...! - and so the nice faeeveelution curls up into a sparkling ball off fur with ribbons right beside Rui, her head leaning a little against her. She gives off some purring sounds and soon starts to hum a very quiet but pleasant melody - a disarming voice that does no damage but calms instead, Octavia does that often when her most beloved person in the world feels down or plain lonely in said world. It tends to sooth his nerves as well as offer closure and companionship.

When Karen comes over and offers some of her own words and comfort to Rui, Octavia greets her with a melodic chirp and starts to hum her tune to her too.

It's then that Milotic returns with the items from the bottom of the lake.  Pardon the interruption, but I think you'll all want to see these.  She deposits two rectangular slabs on the shore in front of everyone.

Kee feels particularly drawn by the dark purple one.  Karen takes notice of them soon after as well.  "What do you have there, Milotic?  Wait...those looks really similar to the item Randolph got from that rich guy...except they're different colors..."

Karen's eyes seem to be drawn to the more pinkish colored plate in particular.  "Do you guys mind if I take a closer look at that pink one?"

When dear Milotic resurfaces and lays down these two...plates? in front of everyone, Octavia takes a moment from offering company to the ladies to HISS at that purple one! Uggghhh, it feels to sensitive her like it is INFUSED with numerous toxins and waste capable to do serious damage to nature and nature's creatures, she does not enjoy being near it. BUT she also knows that she's not defenseless towards said toxins, a blast with some of the psychic power hidden beneath her sparkly fur should teach 'em to stay back, HAH!!

Seeing his most beloved Pokemon's reaction to the purple plate, Kee's 100% more confused why he feels an involuntary and indomitable urge to get this purple plate, call it his own now just because and never-ever part with it ever. (￣ヘ￣;) And once he has picked it up from the ground, he's feeling 200% more fascinated by it despite there's not a single word or sign engraved on this plate. ?????

He looks absent-minded as he responds to Karen: Ran got one from someone in a d'fferent colour? Neat... Uh, yeah, do take a look at this...pink plate if ya like, it's all yours...."

Something within the poisonous musician with the colorful look also makes him bring Draven into his party again, summon him right here and now, and show him this purple plate. The toxic catbat's a bit grumpy because he wanted to enjoy some rest, and he's still not doing too hot (sits @3/6HP), but he grants Kee his attention. Despite his look does obviously say 'Whydya call me, leave me alone, wanna rest duuuh'.

Kee just glosses over it. "Weeeeeeell, I called ya cuz I wanted t'show ya somethin'. This 'something' is THIS plate!!1!!1!~ Look at it, doesn't it feature one niiiiiice 'n toxic shade of purple?~~ As if it's holding tha power of all poisons known to mankind, natural and chemical ones. Oh, and nuclear ones, that too. An' tha power of all biological weapons ever invented. And... Ugh anywae, I've been thinkin' ya might enjoooooy this pretty plate? Hold it close, keep it hidden under yar cloak-wings? I've got tha feeling that... Who-or whatever ya bite while HOLDIN' this plate on yarself, will suffer an even woooorse~ case of sepsis." *cue totally no creepy nor mischievous smile*

(Depending on how Draven reacts/if he agrees, he can hold this plate as a Held Item!~ What I do with his Wide Lens comes in a seperate post after this has been adressed/responded to.)
