[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

Alright, for the shake of both my limited time, energy, and not dragging the game out any further because of the limited amounts of the former two, I’ll shall make this a quick post. Sorry for the wait and relatively poor quality, but I rather get a post like this out than none at all.

Town Square Scene

• Platina’s a little put out by not wowing everyone with her greeting, but she does her best to hide it and accept the praise from the kids with all the due grace she currently has. She made as good of a first impression as she could, given her circumstances and the limited time she had to prepare. Still a bit irritated at the Eeveelution Sibling for not properly warning her, though!
• She takes Herdier’s advice by hopping away from the group and ruffling her feather to shake off the moisture before rejoining the group, letting the Siblings handle that part of the conversation while paying half attention. Swanna sounds like an interesting Mon to speak with to her too – a business owner that values neatness is always a pleasant thing to hear about!
• For the most part Platina just quietly pay attention as the Siblings explain the Town’s facilities and those that man them. However, when Espeon brings up Rampardos and his crush towards a Cincinno, she looks taken aback for a moment before appearing oddly offended the insinuation. She didn’t react too wildly – as that would be unbefitting of a proper lady! – but she does give the psychic feline a small glare and this somewhat vehement statement: “ I would NEVER disparage the affection one has for another. Love is a sacred thing no matter who it’s held by or those that share it, and it shouldn’t be EVER mocked or disrespected!”
• Once the decision of where to head to next came up Platina had already calmed down by that point, and honestly wanted to head towards Paradise to both rest and get started on the Guild’s duties. Kee’s insistence of heading towards Swanna’s House and meeting this ‘oddball’ ended up swaying her to follow him, however, though she made plain she wanted to ‘get going’ ASAP since she was so not ready for a bunch of meeting and greetings after today’s MD.

The Swanna House Scene

• Once the party enters the Swanna House, Platina takes immediate notice and interest in both the Swanna herself and the big ol’ scary looking Dragon. The former because she’d naturally be curious to know more about the owner of the local cafe/inn, and the later because…..well, they’re a big scary looking dragon that is (in her frank opinion) making a fool out of itself with it’s atrocious table manners and glutenous appetite.
• She returns Swanna’s greeting with a simple bow and tells her to take their time – the group is just looking around town before heading off to Paradise for further ‘business’ . She ignores the burly pair of Fighting types, as she’s not too interested in them and the Eeveelution pairs is making their way to Dragon she’s simultaneously intrigued yet disgusted by.
• The shiny bird lets the pair handle introductions, trying to scope out who exactly this ‘Hydreigon’ is characterwise…..before they dropped the bombshell: her Partners are humans.
• This, combined with the Eeveelution Siblings own confirmed suspicions and Kee himself confirming as such…..well, I'll actually let the moment speak for itself.

For a single moment, Platina was just stunned speechless by the revelation that was abruptly dropped on her. A completely dumbstruck expression was plastered across her face, as she slowly looked back and forth between her new friends and trusted companions. Kee and Kogeki…..they were human? They were human? T h e y w h e r e h u m a n . . . ?

“……..W H A T I N T H E T W I N ‘ S N A M E ? ! ? ! Y O U T W O A R E H U M A N S ? ! ? ! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!“ Platina shouts with the full force of a Metal Sound going off, her voice filled with a intense, very nearly crazed sort of energy as she quite suddenly got up in Kee’s face, practically smooshing her face into his!

“A R E Y O U R E A L L Y H U M A N, K E E ?! W H Y D I D N ‘ T Y OU T E L L M E E A R L I E R ? ! W H A T W A S I T L I K E B E I N G H U M A N ?! W H Y A R E Y O U P O K E M O N N O W?! I S I T T R U E H U M A N S A R E P O W E R F U L ?! I H A V E S O M A N Y Q U E S T I O N! S O M A N Y, S O M A N Y ……!!!”

• …..and then Platina passes out mid-questioning, slumping right down in front of the star-eyed racoon as she Fainted from sheer mind numbing excitement, covering his face full of her Shiny sparkles. Welp, that was something.
