[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

Daxter clenches his jaw in anger as he thinks more about what Marcus tells them. Who the hell did they think they were? "Marcus, mate... I'm sorry that they did this to you. I'm not sure why they think that any of this shit is okay, but I promise you. I'm not gonna take any crap from them lying down. Last time, we chose to avoid a fight with them. Next time, I'm not gonna let them get off so easy. By the time I'm done with them, they'll go and turn themselves in on their own to get away from me."
Marcus's question catches Daxter of guard as he uncomfortably stares around at everyone. Was it alright for him to tell Marcus? Daxter was inclined to do so without caring about what any of the others thought. Marcus did open himself up to the rest of the group and was being openly honest to them, after all. And the bottle was his discovery, anyway. He looks at Pyra. "Pyra, love. You mind showing Marcus the bottle? We found this bottle in Sahra Town this morning. There's a Pokemon trapped inside and they managed to get our attention. Apparently, the bottle keeps teleporting to the town and even though it's placed in a fairly obvious place, nobody can see it. They say that their name is Hoopa and that they can be let out of the bottle in Mystery Dungeons, and asked us to take them with us so that they can get some time out of their prison. We don't quite trust them yet, so we haven't let them out just yet. But they did say they were strong and that they'd help us out in return if we do. I think this might be the best time to let them out, in all honesty. If Machamp went Primal like you say he has, Hoopa might be of some help. And I don't want to wait till we get to Machamp just in case Machamp doesn't give us the opportunity to let Hoopa out. And if Hoopa decides to fuck us over, I'd rather not have to deal with both Hoopa and Machamp at the same time. I mean, Hoopa could wait to do it after we get to Machamp, but I think we should probably risk it. Really could help. And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't want a look at this djinn in the bottle.

And uh, is there anyway to snap a Pokemon who went Primal out of it without hurting them too much? If Machamp was pushed into that state by someone else, I don't want to hurt him. It wouldn't be his fault for attacking us. He was plenty friendly when we paid him to build our place for us so I don't really want to hurt him. Yet, anyway."

Pyra visibly deflated at Dax's vow of retribution, her predictions becoming depressingly and distressingly true right before her eyes as he ranted about T.A.'s 'wrong' doings. She had hoped her call for peace and assurance would have placated such onerous desires (or at least blunted them), but the aquatic salamander dashed those entirely in his case. Looks like she has to plan and handle for confrontations between him and their fellow Guild mates, or refine her ideas and approaches to keep trying to convince him that starting/perpetuating conflict was NOT the solution. *Sighs*.....

His request is meet with a quizical look from the she-demon, before she took out Hoopa's Bottle and displayed it for the bones craftsmon. She let him handle the explanation (as she was not in a talkative mood), only voicing her agreement at letting the djin out. Decidedly less of interest was trying to 'save' Machamp from a possible Primal Reversion, but she did her best to keep her apathy and disdain from showing at the prospect and continued keeping quiet, knowing any sensible argument to not help their likely enemy and just do their jobs would be either ignored or violently rejected. Perhaps if she were in charge of the group for this Job she could enforce such decisions as her right as Leader, but that time was not now.
