[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

All the shops are closed (or closing) for the day by the time Team OS returns to Sahra Town, but Floette's happy to remind Pyra that the pokemon staffing the Gastrodon Shop are more than capable of opening Treasure Boxes in return for a small fee.  She's also who Daxter ends up speaking to regarding the newly recruited pokemon.  "You should definitely take that Treasure Box to the Gastrodon and find out what's inside!  It could be a lot of different things!  Tell me what you got later, alright?  Hearing about what our teams do and find in the field never gets old!  And as for your new friends, it's gonna be a little bit before they're fit for visitors.  When I saw they'd arrived, it looked to me like you guys had done a real number on them!  They should be awake by tomorrow morning, I think, and I'll be more than happy to arrange for whatever tasks you need them to do once they are!"

Silicobra hisses in pleasure as they describe what an X-Eye seed does.  "Well, they caussssse your eyesssss to crossssss like sssssssso, then you can't tell apart friend from foe.  It'ssssss quite a usssssseful item.  Ssssssssome prefer to usssssse them for purposssssessss other than battle, though, if you know what I mean...."

The sheriff and Floette are both startled to hear that Monferno was apparently more than just a lowly thief.

"Organized crime?  In MY town?  If you lot hear anything more, report to me immediately.  I'll squeeze all the information I can out of this monkey, but this is very concerning.  I don't think this ruffian was likely of much importance, but you be careful on future jobs.  I've got a careful eye on the town and the nearby areas, but I can't do much of anything to interfere in the nonsense that goes on in Mystery Dungeons.  If he is indeed part of an organization, then that's the most likely place where you'll run into trouble if you've stirred the pot.  Alright, you lowlife, time to get moving!"

Floette blinks a few times as Flygon talks, then seems to snap out of it as the sheriff leaves with his capture.

"...huh.  Well, maybe I don't like hearing ALL the news about what you run into.  Don't worry about talking to the Guildmaster about this criminal too much, though.  I'll tell her personally and work on organizing a more thorough investigation, alright?  You guys should get some rest and focus on doing a good job tomorrow.  If you still need to speak to the guildmaster, though, I can arrange an appointment tomorrow morning.  Fair?"

Does that include the Gastrodon Shop? If so, I guess Pyra will save what she planned to do for tomorrow then; otherwise, she'll take the Treasure Box to them ASAP to get it opened (and let's assume that the group gives Pyra enough Poke to pay for it to be opened in that case, m'kay?). In any case she'll give Floette a nod and her characteristic smile before stepping back and letting the rest of the group chat and voice their own concerns and curiousities.  She doesn't really give one lick of a Berry about her group's newest members right now, so she feels not a twinge of sympathy for the grevious harm everyone inflicted upon them. Much the same could be said about the threat of organized crime in Sahra, but she does carefully keep Flygon's warning to them in mind for the future.

Silicobra's explanation of the X-Eye Seed DID cause her eyes to narrow briefly, and privately she vowed to torch any X-Eye Seed see got her mitts on so that their wretched influence affects no one. Her short time being Confused instilled a deep loathing of all things that affect the mind or thought process (along with a healthy disdain/distrust of Non-Kogeki Ghosts), and she rather ardently believes in the sanctity of the mind for all (one of the few true morals she has). In other words, those Seeds and Items like them are going to be toast if she gets to them first, for NOBODY deserve to have their thoughts and perception of reality and those around them so foully corrupted, hazed, or manipulated.....

All that aside, the brimstone imp is ready for Dinner too, and then it's straight to bed to her if nothing else pops up! Though she doesn't show it, she is quite tired from today's events, so filling up and then resting is now at the top of her to-do list.
