[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

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

Randolph spends some time getting started on making a makeshift trident for Paula to surprise her.  It's not a project he would have been expecting to finish under normal circumstances in these kinds of time constraints, but for some reason, he's able to work much more quickly than anticipated and actually make an attempt to finish his creation.

Crafting Roll
*rolls*
With Samuel's Lucky Chant in the background speeding him along, Brigid's Flame Plate fueled fires, and his intense focus on making sure this job gets done right (Spend that Will Point, for both Randolph and Brigid!), Randolph gets 6 successes, making a very beautiful and durable trident that's not just how he envisioned it, but even better.  It's a masterpiece, the kind of artwork that collectors and artisans would kill to own.

When he presents it to Paula, she'll be really, really happy with the gift, getting +1 Happiness.

And now that Randolph thinks on it, Paula's grown really close to him almost a little too quickly...it's almost unnatural.  It's obviously still a genuine bond, but...still, he has a suspicion that something strange is going on...

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

As the gold paint/varnish dried, the unknown and now ornamental Mega Stone snuggled fitted into into its open slot, and he put the last finishing touches, Ran held the Masterwork Mega Trident in his hands close to chest and face, reviewing his handy work with his highly discerning eyes, before he lowered the tool with a blinkered but pleased surprised. 

"Well I'll be smelted and hammered, this Trident turned out perfectly. Heck, I'd say its probably one of my best works I've made yet, if not the best! *Chuckles* The blessings from that angel must've been super potent for me to create something this fine so quickly. Or perhaps the Heatrans and Arceas gave me some divine aid themselves? Hmm...."

Brigid also takes the time to inspect the finished Trident after she finished a big heaping helping of coal (she and those flames she made weren't fueled solely by Will and divinity alone), nodding happily at it and leaning into Ran to celebreate their creation with him. It really was extremely pretty, and she's tickled pink that she helped make it!

The scruffy smith rubbed his forging tortoise's head fondly before getting up the corner of the room he forged the Trident in, giving it a slow twirl in hand before grinning like Diam.

"Ah, whatever. Doesn't matter how I made this beauty. Only thing that matters in the end is if Paula will like it or not, and something tells me that'll be a definate yes. "

Indeed he was correct when he went over to surprise her with it (where she was hanging around either Kee or Rui and Co) , kneeling to the sea queen on one knee and holding it out to her. 

"Here ya go, my lady. Consider it an early celebratory gift for your Evolution and you. What do you - "

Ran didn't get to finish his sentence, for Paula, after starring at such a perfectly made masterwork made just for her with wide, awe filled eyes, quickly sweept it AND him up in a tight hug, craddling both the her chest while she sang out a loud and pure note of nearly overwhelming jubulation! Oh, oh, oh what a, a, a thoughtful, heartwarming, and personal gift! She'll treasure it, forever and ever! She'll treasure her beloved Trainer forever and ever! Oh, oh, ooooooooh! The joy she's experiencing right now would probably give Samuel a run for their moniker as The Jubilee Pokemon!

Diam, of course, is finding this touching display of her partner being treated like a teddy bear hilarious, bowling over as she howled cackles filled with mirth and glee! Dear oh dear, Ran has made a very good friend very Happy indeed, wee hee hee! The snuggled locked man himself, meanwhile, is now slightly damp and squirming in his Cute Lady Paula's embrace, appearing red face in surprise and mortification at the event!

"Okay, okay, you really love, but could you put me down Paula?! Everyone's probably staring at us by now! We can do more celebrating later,  could you please let me go?"

Eventually she calms down enough to do as he asked, but by that point everyone has had a chance to stare and comment (if they wish) about that, so Ran just hides his face with his hard hat and marches to a secluded corner of the room to dry off and recover from her affections, with the sea queen herself waddling after him with a positively beaming smile with her Mega Trident in hand along with Diam + Brigid (who had their own mischievous/content smiles). Omnia (In the form of Sally) just shakes her head at the it all and stick around Lucas and the real deal, 'asking' both of them all the tips and advice they can give her on how to properly act and use 'her' Lucario Moves and powers. Somebody has to be productive towards the actual trails ahead.
