[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

(Pyra wandering the halls in the early morning is fine.  Didn't mean to step on your toes there, just wanted to keep things moving.)

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

Meanwhile, as Pyra's wandering the halls, she ends up bumping into Blitzle from Team Gallop.  He doesn't seem to be in any particular hurry, though, so nobody gets knocked over by the collision this time.  "Oof!  What the...oh, it's you.  You're up early.  Don't usually see many pokemon up at this hour, honestly.  Well, I always see Floette awake.  I wonder when she sleeps...anyways, hi.  *ahem*"

The zebra pokemon takes an awkward step backwards so that he's not right next to Pyra, not really sure what to say.

(Tis fine, tis fine. It's up to me to roll with the punches and whatnot of the campaign, but the thought is appreciated!)

Pyra almost didn't notice the zip zapper aburpt introduction due to a combination of mild exhaustion (mental and physical) from a poor night's sleep and being deep in self reflection over Kogeki. Heck, she almost bowled him over and continued on wandering the Guild halls like some half dazed specter! It was due to her present state, however, that she just didn't ignore Blitzle anyway like he was beneath her notice, giving him a tired neutral stare as he clumsily tried to break the ice.

".....Work and improve upon on your conversational skill you should, Early Bird Blitzle. If caught off guard, meet someone unaware, talking with someone unnerving, you should muster your resolve, speaking confidently and with conviction. Don't let it freeze your mind, still or stutter your tongue, and never cede complete control over a talk if you can avoid and prevent it. Find topics you command greatly and wisely to speak from, feign interest or Knowledge about what others are saying, learning much as you can about it so you can talk wisely about it later or then. Or keep talk short sweet and beat retreat, if you can't converse properly-spirited at all."

The brimstone imp neutrally lectures poor? ferromagnetic foal  in a rambling, half absent minded yet somehow half chiding tone. It's rather clear she's still heavily distracted and not entirely focused on him, her head state still in a right muddle mire and simply not having the energy to care about him/her appearance or pretend otherwise. Or in other words, she's just reacting partially on autopilot with him, which is apparently critical helpfulness when she doesn't have the energy for her usual cheerful curiosity. Who'd have thunk that?

"*Blinks* ....Oh, and greetings. Farewell and good bye now."

If he doesn't have anything else to say she'd abruptly end their talk as they had begun, neatly sidestepping him and continuing to thoughtfully/ponderously wander the halls, until she inevitably ends up in the Lobby later on looking over the currently posted Jobs. Partially too kill time until her friends find her (for she doesn't want to lose track of them ENTIRELY this day, despite her moodiness) and sate her curiosity on what busy work and/or scoundrels needed to be tidied up, and partially to distract herself from her mental-moral delimena (which she was getting nowhere productive with). 

Dear Inferno, this was going to be a long day for her, yes indeed. Oh how she loathes this crisis Kogeki foisted upon her, sapping her vim and vigor and leaving her entirely too Dark for her liking....
