[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA, what a welcome cool-down for Ziggy Kee as he MLEMs that frosted spectral cat with some extra-strength, laughing and snickering to himself like he has lost his mind as he ends up stuck to them with his tongue. (^v^; ) Upon getting unstuck by Pyra's Ember (she gets a thankful-stylish wink for that (･ω<)☆), he shakes himself and gets out of the way just in time for Nohface hurting itself in all that chaos of a battle.

(...) And then Nohface suddenly starts to slink backwards, returning to the shadows from whence it came.
"Hey, come back here you coward!  We still have to finish this!"
Marcus holds his bone club sideways, thrusting it in front of Hoopa to pause the djinn's advance.  "They didn't return to their original position.  I think they're going to let us pass now, and we have bigger Magikarp to fry than them right now.  I think we should save our strength for what's up ahead."
"Grrrr...much as I hate to admit it, you're right.  If I was at full power, this would be a breeze...*sigh*...but I'm not.  And that black and red bat pokemon...he was giving even me the heebie jeebies!  Me!  Whatever's coming up, I've got a bad feeling about it..."
"Me too.  Everyone in agreement?  Though I suppose we'll have to wait for Kogeki to catch up first..."
"Maybe we can try and figure out a way to get through that collapsed tunnel in the meantime?" (...)

Kee's UP AND ABOUT to join Hoopa on pursuing the retreating creature, but stops as well when Marcus holds them back. Given the furry raver's IRRITADED and AGITATED expression, he's less than happy for Nohface having escaped, but for now he's going to leave it at snarling, gnarling and barring his teeth at all the shadows around as he's still full of energy and eager.

His piercing gaze of deep-red eyes rushes from one side of the room to the other, eventually toning down as it becomes clear that Nohface is not pulling a dirty trick on them. Kee huffs. "Meh. In stallin' us they've succeeded 'ndeed, am NAT enjoyin' this by a single bit. But, betcha we'll meet 'em an' their kittycat-vampire-master AGAIN sometime an' somewhere?~ Their UP FOR SOMETHIN', I'm tellin' y'all. *another huff, then a gentle sigh* But yeah, better we've got K'geki come back t'us first, right? They...should be here in a minute, right?" He jolts his head in the direction the deltadoggo fled, his paws twitching go go after him to see whether he's fine and alright.

(...) "...........Fine. I will follow your advice on this. Mark my words, though: I shall not let The Darkness rest for long. If allowed to it will only grow stronger from this Fight, and it will become a bigger threat than you can possibly imagine. All traces of it need be dealt with quickly, harshly, and with no hesitation. Remember this, Marcus."

Pyra, after staring holes into Marcus and thinking hard on what he said, grinds out a agreement to his suggested course of action, though not without informing him the the none-to-pleasant consequences of his decisions.. She isn't pleased with it at all, but she was not so far gone into her SEETHING HATRED of The Darkness as to ignore perfectly sound Logic (even if it was coming from someone she was well disinclined to like at this point). Nothing is going to improve her mood at ALL, though, until that Creature of Darkness is decisively taken care of. (...)

...But Pyra's change of mood and hearty words cause the crittercoon to halt, his furry head now jolting in HER direction to staaaaare at her with a gaze that's gleaming of concern, seriousness and determination: Every single hair of his black-and-white fur seems to be glowing of pure agreement of what she said, her desire and will to NOT let The Darkness rest and therefor grow for too long underlined twicely and boldly.

Unglueing his eyes from the fierly demoness, Ziggy Kee slowly looks over to Marcus, his gaze toning down only little so. He nods to the craftsman of a Cubone to express how WHOLEHEARTILY he agrees to Pyra here. He'd be giving her a gentle nudge or nuzzle to express it further, but he kinda feels that's, uh, not really the moment to do so, and he doesn't want to rruin the mood and tangible seriousness looming in the air right now.
