[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Before everyone left the pier, though, Pyra had one last things she wanted to do: she wanted to go to the shallowest portion of it (or a portion where somePokemon of her size could stand up to their waste in the water) and try to take a quick dip into the sea. She was rather curious how natural Water would feel to herself, and if she didn’t like it the experience itself would prepare her for the various Water Moves future Pokemon unseen would try to hose her out with!

Pyra doesn't even get waist deep.  As soon as one of her feet becomes submerged in the cool waters of the ocean, she feels a painful, burning sensation suddenly shoot up her leg!  She instinctively yanks her foot out of and away from the water immediately, and has to sit down because she can barely feel her leg.  Clearly, she's not a creature that's comfortable with swimming under normal circumstances.

Marcus tsks and walks over to her when he notices, then kneels down in front of her.  "Well, I see you've acquainted yourself with Water.  Not pleasant when you're a Fire type, is it?  Might want to curb your curiosity just a tad before you hurt yourself.  I know you're still learning about this world and all, but try to have at least a little common sense if ya can, alright?  I can't babysit you."

Contrary to what most would expect, the playful demoness didn't vocally react all too much besides a startled "Oh!" and her literal knee jerk reaction, looking slightly in pain from her aquatic experimentation but for the most part appearing intrigued and thoughtful about what she felt. So sea water was like what her Flames and other Fire felt to most other Pokemon, huh? How ironically fascinating! She'll have to be more mindful about her Fire aspect to those around her in that case - or at least to the ones she can deign to care about.

Despite her instinctual discomfort with the ocean, though, bathing in it was not entirely an terrible experience, or even necessarily unpleasant. Call her a bit eccentric (for that's what she is, and then some), but the Water's 'numbing burn' effect was a sort of intellectual and sensational fun experience to her in a controlled manner, as was becoming more intimately familar with her Element and its Weaknesses. Now she wonders what difference in feel that fresh water and/or the water's temperature has for her, and how she'd feel when she gets 'in touch' with her other innate Weakness, Resistances, and Immunity. Heck, she's curious why the Ground and Rocky terrain beneath her feet doesn't cause her some sort of discomfort or unease, now that she's thinking about it. Maybe she's just acclimated to it, because she's constantly exposed to those forms of the Elements? If that's the case, could she become the same way with natural Water, through repeated exposure or possibly an Item? Hmm......

Before she could really get into brainstorming a potential 'program' to get herself more comfotable with being wet, Marcus' chidding intervention prompts her to turn to him, her thoughtful curiosity now direct towards him now.

"Indeed I have, yes, and Water's cool embrace was most scouring tingling, absolutely. But....not all bad, no? *Shrugs* To me at least? *Tilts head* Much learnt from small dip in ocean salty blue, sensations it gave not very good, but......uniquely curious and eventful in not bad way? Hard to explain, um, not sure if I have right words to give you to share idea-concept well and well.

"*Nods* Still, yes, should be more careful, cautious, calculating with self discoveries and discovering personal quandries, verily, least similarities end in excessive tragedy or undesired events. Will try better for now on to do so, Marcus, okay? *Blinks* Oh, and what is this 'common sense' and 'babysit' you describe? Both sound like concepts most interesting and important, yes!"

...Well, she's making progress, at least, no matter how painstaking it is.
