[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

3 Beauty + 2 Contest + 2 Etiquette + 3 Instinct* = 10d6
(5)(6)(1)(3)(2)(3)(3)(4)(1)(4) = 3 successes
(*This is a specific quirk of Windos's character, for reference)

Porygon-2 and Golett do not seem to be affected at all.

Chimical's Will:
(1)(1)(2)(3)(4)(1)(1) 0 successes
Solosis's Will:
(6)(3)(2)(1)(5)(2)(5) 3 successes

Solosis seems to shrug off the display too, but Chimical begins circling Platina, highly interested in the little bird now and giving her very little personal space (he'll back off if requested to with that roll, though).  He handles the introductions by seamlessly working it into his little speech.

"You'll have to excussssse our manager and bodyguard.  Porygon2 and Golett are rather incapable of feeling much of anything.  It makessss them very effective at their jobssss, though.  I can guarantee that we won't be doing anything untoward, at leassssst.  Isssssn't that right, Sssssssolosssssissss?"


"I suppose Chimical, I suppose.  All we need are a few answers, and then we can be on our way."

The digiduck gets right to the point.  "THE STORMS.  WE HAVE BEEN TASKED WITH INVESTIGATING THEM.  WE WERE TOLD YOU WERE CAUGHT IN ONE."

Again, the pokemon looks expectantly at Platina, seeming to expect her to know what question's he's implying.  Chimical steps in this time, though.

"We jussssst need to know if you know what might have caussssssed the reccccccent ssssssstormsssss.  It'ssssss very important.  Ansssssswer the quessssstion, and we can be on our way."

(Wow, that Roll sucked, but at least Chimical's sucked even harder! That, and now know that Beauty Rolls don't really work on Genderless Pokemon! I am curious to know if putting a Will Point would significantly change this scene, though, if it's not too late to apply them.)

Being a bird that was composed of some sort of metal, being circled by what felt like a Fiery feline did make Platina quite uncomfortable, but his timely intercession and open admiration of their Beauty does mollify those feelings somewhat. They've put up with worse sorts of scrutiny before, so they'll not let this cat be the one to make them loose nerve.

".....I suppose I can forgive them, in that case. Bluntness and efficiency over personality is......displeasing to be subjected to, but I know such has its purposes at times. Thank you for the apologies and explanation, sir."

Porygon 2 ('What a strange name for a Pokemon....') continued 'directness' doesn't bother the Shiny Bird this time, as Chimical's explanation rationalized such behavior and made it 'acceptable' in their eyes, but they do appreciate him rephrasing the inquiry into a much more polite request. However, they seemed.....reluctant and hesitant to answer at first, before they shook their head with a small *sigh* and looked at the chimera kitten.

".....I suspect these storms are caused by a group of Pokemon. I do not have much to offer about them, but I can say that I know some of them are capable of generating and controlling fierce Thunderstorms if provoked, and have a mastery over flight as well. I am not completely certain if they're causing all of these storms, however, or if they have done so in the recent past and up until now. This is the first I've heard of such a problem, after all, and I only have my own limited experiences to draw upon. Does that answer the question to your satisfaction, Chimical sir?"
