[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[no one]

As he listens to Marcus's story, Daxter's scowl slowly fades away. He figured that Marcus was probably once a member of the guild, but he had no idea that he was actually a member of the Artificers. He hesitates, and then slowly speaks. "I'm... Sorry you had to go through that, mate. And that I compared Kogeki to those guys. Guess that was a little uncalled for. Didn't know that you were in their team, though. Watching that happen must have been awful.

As for all that Primal stuff, I have no idea what any of that means. From what it sounds though, I'm guessing they just get beefed up and pissed off, right? Angry and hard to beat. Is there any way to snap those Pokemon out of it? I'm not down with putting anyone down without giving them a second chance. Especially if what happened to them might not be their fault. To be honest, I'm not down with putting anyone down at all! Everyone deserves the chance to make up for anything they do."

Kogeki's anger at the guildmaster's apparent apathy makes Daxter wince. "I don't think it's that simple, mate. If these Artificer guys are that smart, they would have been doing these things in ways that don't leave any evidence. When we spoke to her, she seemed like a fucking clever lady, so I think that she knows exactly what those assholes are up to. I just think that she doesn't have the proof to actually kick them out. She's a little uptight to be sure, but I don't think that she would let them do whatever they want. Just the fact that they have to be sneaky about what they do tells me that she wouldn't be on board if she knew. I like her. I don't think she was rude to us. I don't think that anyone was, in all honesty. It's a different place, and I guess society works differently here. You have to earn respect, and we didn't earn much so far. Sure, we beat up a Boldore and bought in one criminal, but I think that it'll take a while before people start actually seeing us as Pokemon to be respected. I know it feels like ages since we-

OW! This fucking jaw!

Sorry about that mate. I've got a sore tooth or something. What I was saying is, I know it feels like ages since we got here, but it's really only been a couple of days. You'll see. If we keep doing good work, we'll eventually get treated much more nicely. And just keep something in mind. Team Artificers doesn't represent the whole guild. There have been some actually nice Pokemon around. That Staravia and his flock are apparently nice. Floette's been pretty nice. And I'm sure you guys met a few others who aren't that bad either. Team Artificers will get what's coming to them at some point but until then, just keep an open mind."

Daxter then pauses and hesitates once again. He turns to Pyra, rubbing his cheek as he stares at her for a little. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have behaved like that. I just don't want to see anyone get hurt. Doesn't matter if it's us or them. Conkeldurr wasn't thinking straight when he told you to finish him off, and I wasn't either. I just couldn't get why you didn't get why Conkeldurr was being an idiot. Let's just move past that, and I'll try and be a little more gentle the next time I tell you off. Can't promise it won't happen again, but I'll definitely try to make sure that I don't end up threatening you."
