[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

The playful fiendess tenseness in her posture loosens up a bit when she and her allies Encountered no further trouble retracing their steps to the exit, a little relieved that no further trouble was going to assail them all here. A bit disappointed too, since she was curious about who or what those shadow stalkers were, but perhaps she was better off remaining that way. Some quandaries are best left unsolved, least they befuddle or malign with the nebulous truths they hold.

Upon exiting the pitch black caverns and feeling the almost scorching rays of the sun touch her bright red skin, Pyra couldn’t help but bask in it with eyes closed and a blissfully content smile. She could sense how the sunlight enlivened and bolster her inner Flames, making her little ‘head lamp’ grow bigger and herself feel more alive than ever. Ah yes, the bright daystar felt as lovely as she envisioned! Even the stodgy humidity was comforting in its own way, as it felt like she was being bathed and swaddled in gentle flames. Quite the fascinating sensation that Water could bring – perhaps she should investigate this further later, hmm…..

The dry and barren landscape, on the other hand, hardly phased, bothered, or stood out to the lil’ demoness. It was not much different visually compared to the caves, and it had nothing on that…..fiery and black place she was in while she was dreaming. The mountains surrounding them were somewhat intriguing, but not enough to distract her from drinking in the sunlight. Ah….

Her musings and sun bathing was (to her) unfortunately interrupted when she head someone unfamiliar calling out to her and the group, causing her to slowly blink her eyes open and swivel towards the voice, looking like she had come out of a torpor of sorts and a tad annoyed too. Huh, what? Oh…oh poo. Who and what dared stop her from drinking the sun’s rays, and rouse her from its infernal embrace? 

Once she laid eyes on the creature who disturbed her, though, her soft ire almost immediately disappointed as she took in all their details. There soft brown form, so similar to hers and yet so different. The bone club he carried, the sight of which made her claws involuntary clench, as if they were looking for something similar to wield. And the skull they wore as a helm, a grim sight for most many, but to her held a sense of comfort and beauty.

Pyra was captivated by the overall picture that was Cubone, her eyes glimmering with unchecked fascination, interest, and honest wonder as she stared at him. So absorbed in her starring that she more or less missed the initial pleasantries Kee gave the bone wielder, but their (Cubone’s) next comments snapped her out of it. And oh boy, did the brimstone imp snap to respond!

One second she was standing stock still and starring, and the next she practically flew right in front of the armored critter, grasping his bone holding hand with both her claws and dancing in place as she energetically greeted them.

“Good and gracious greetings, Cubone of the Sun Baked Earth! My name is Pyra, yes, She of Infernal Lands! Former human unknown, but reborn as a Devimp here and now! And I must say, indeed I must admit, you look so great and marvelous! Such a intriguing body you possess, and the bones you wear and wield look so cool and noblesse! Tell me, share with me please, where and how I might get a club like you wield, or really anything long and thick that’s good to hit bad people with! Oh please, share that and this and more about you, I plead!”

Thusly spoke, she let go of their hand and opted instead to prance and hop around the, giving herself a much more thorough inspection of the Cubone to further sate her curiosity and wondering admiration of them. That, and as a way to vent off her excess jubilation without picking the poor dinosaur looking beast and twirling him around in a dance, for if she did that how would she continue to inspect all of him?

Her rumbling stomach hardly distracted her, but armored critter’s offer to share lunch with her and her companions earned him happy gasp and then a nice warm thankful hug from her!

“Truly and really, you grant and off to us more boons than your company? I accept, yes, and will repay you someday hence for such generousness! That I promise and swear to you! Much more too, if you’re willing to share your bone secrets between me and you!”

Well……Pyra certainly seemed to take a liking to the Cubone. Question is, is the feeling mutual towards a exuberant demon like her?

Kogeki took a moment to approach Pyra and say something to Cubone. "Can you give a private moment please?" And pratically drag Pyra to a more private place. "Pyra...we cant just say to anyone we were human. For now, we must keep our humanity hidden for a while, until we figure out how the hell we ended in this situation. If tell anyone we meet we were human, they either:"

A - They will think we are crazy and not gonna help us.

B - Send local autorithies to go after us to imprison us, or killed us depending of the place policy.

C - Lie they believe in us and tell they are also human and warn any possible "allies" to that darkness you mentioned.

D - All above options.

Kogeki said again to the fiery demon. "Thats why we must keep ourselves in low profile and try to adapt to their culture and gather as much information we can and figure out ourselves who the hell we truly are and figure out our goals in this place. I not saying you are bad in trust, but we need to be careful to who we trust that information about humanity to someone who we only meet now. We barely know that Cubone, and who he is related, so please, lets avoid leak information about ex-humanity alright?"

Its not like Kogeki is angry at Pyra, by the contrary, he want to have good terms with the fiery demoness! But he is also worry about the group safety of information, and thats why they need to be more careful. If eveyone going to stick together, they must avoid unecessary danger.
