[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Delphox gives Platina another curious look.  "...I see.  If it's exotic sounding, I doubt it'll be difficult to recognize regardless.  Though if I may be blunt, many pokemon species names tend to be rather similar in nature.  A Chatot, for example, might fit that species name description due to how on the nose it is.  This will make the search harder.  If you remember any more details that would be of use in the search, don't hesitate to inform us."

"Regardless, you have helped us, so it's our turn to help you.  If you wish to wait for news to reach you, you are welcome to stay at the Guild for a time, though I'd recommend seeing if one of Sahra Town's resident's might house you if this search takes longer than expected.  The Guild's facility's are generally for its own members, so we don't exactly have much free space for very long."

"If I may make a suggestion, however, you could join the search yourself if you wish to take a more active role in it.  I'm sure at least more than a few of our Teams would be happy to have you as a member.  You will have to earn your keep, but you would have access to more stable housing accomodations and a broad range of travel destinations should your search require you to look elsewhere.  After all, there is no guarantee this Ray washed up on the Sand Continent, like you yourself did, nor that he will be staying in one place."

"*Sighs, briefly covering her with a wing* ....Yes, I realize that. Such....foolishness on my part will not happen again, I assure you. I'll be sure to let you or one of your subordinates know immediately."

Platina was surprised by Delphox's offer, looking a bit overwhelmed by it if the shock on her face was any sign. Because in her esteemed opinion she really hadn't done much to deserve such good hospitality.

"Truly? Speaking honestly, I do not think I warrant such generosity for what little I've done. If anything, I owe you more for treating my injuries and undertaking my request. Hmm....."

It was the Guild Leader's other offer, though, that made the Shiny Bird take sharp interest in them, banishing all semblance of haughtiness and pomp as she looked back to them, consideration clear in her eyes. Putting herself under their yoke and becoming the part of the Guild normally would not be ideal, as she very much liked her recent freedom and independence. However, the Thunderstorm made it abundantly clear she was nowhere near as prepared or ready for the wider world as she or Ray thought, and doing nothing but waiting for answers about her him would drive her to frustration and stress induced molting.

That, and......well......she simply didn't want to be so isolated anymore. Sure, it would be trivial for her to attract a following of her own with her Beauty and force of personality and make her way into the world, but......she didn't want that. Such was a part of her old life. One she left behind for a reason. To experience the world and all that it offered as herself.....and to help her companion's own dreams come true.

"........*Sharp Nods* Very well. I have decided. I will join one of your Guild's Teams, Guildmaster. I didn't leave everything behind to sit around and do nothing with myself in the world. If I can help find my companion, I'll do everything I can - and quite a bit more once I become strong enough to do so. *Smiles to herself* Besides.....I believe what your organization accomplishes would be what Ray would like to do himself. He is the adventurous sort, and that spirit of his inspired me to make my own dreams a reality. Maybe I too find the same joy he did by working here with everyone....."

For a moment Platina mused to herself, looking skyward in though as she recalled him, before she looked back to Delphox.

"With that being said, with your permission....."

Platina turned towards Kee and Kogeki, an expectant expression now adorning her sterling visage.

".....I would like to join Sir Kee's and Kogeki's Team. I believe I would like working with them - if they would have me, that is. *Bemused* That, and their own spirit reminds me of Ray's too, now that I think about it. Perhaps destiny has brought us together this day for a reason, hmm?"
