[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

In response to Platina's words of 

(...)"Kee, I shouldn't have to tell you this, but please control yourself better in the future. I can't imagine how you managed to survive as long as you have with your flagerant lack of restraint, but one day it will lead you to ruin if you continue to let it go unchecked.(...)

the monochrome crittercoon at first huffs a little, looks a little bewildered, mildly confused on second glance, the eventually smiles a little at her. "...Ya're right, maybe ya shouldn't have t'tell me this. But r'gardless of that, it's noted and understood, and if it's giving yar pretty head headaches or keeps ya 'wake at night, I can AT LEAST TRY t'nat give ya a heart attack with my 'flagerant lack of restraint', as ya call it? If ya wish or if it makes ya uncomfortable?" *sympathic and dear smile, but there's little to no remorse in it. And Kee does not fake an either, he's honest here* 

He leans a little closer, and in a more quiet voice so that solely Platina hears opens up to her: "Ya know, I feel like that's mah inner Pokemon an' respective senses running wild. It's like, I see a strong opponent or foe and WHOOSH I go for tha challenge an' fun!~ It's kinda just...like I HAVE TO act? HAVE TO battle? HAVE TO test my strengths an' challenge mah boundaries? I dunno, I haven't been a Pokemon for that long yet. *confident huffing*...But I like it. I don't quite yet r'member what sort of human I've been, have I been a lot more quiet? Bitter? Da life of the party called life? Or that guy who does rather stay for himself an' avoids company? ...Do I act in a stark contrast as a Pokemon than I would have as a human? Where does my human mind and Pokemon mind blend? Why am I here, is there MORE to it than the Quest given by Arceus, MORE REASON to why I have been giv'n a second chance as a Pokemon? Are there any missed chances or pendin' issues that I may resolve now? ...Was I happy as a human? (...) (.....) (.......)"

"...All of that I do not know. But neither do I regret bein' given dat Quest an' second chance. If it comes with bringing mahself into danger or gettin' hurt by acting like a Pokemon or lacking restraint at times, so be it then, 's long as you all are safe and well."

(Thanks for the reminder, dear!)

*Flashback!: The Return!*

The ironclad avian looks a bit relieved and comforted at Kee's easy agreement, though his smile doesn't inspire much confidence in her. It appears he'll likely get into more trouble whether he intends to or not, oh bother....

His aburpt intrusion into her personal space almost earned him a squawk and a swift thwack on the head, but his fast talking managed to save him. The punk star's words actually give some pause to Platina, her expression going contemplative and a bit of surprise. In the end, though, she gave him a.....look as understanding, as she tilted her head and tried to gauge who he really was.

"....I understand. A little bit, at least. Instincts are hard to fight against, particularly when they are strong and dominant. The competitive drive almost all Pokemon share doesn't help with self-control either. Nor your.....circumstances, to say the least. Finding yourself with all this working against you must be....hard. Still. I want you to act more wisely yourself, Kee. You don't have to abandon all sense of adventure to act safely, but would say doing a bit more to curb your boldness and use your head for things other than slamming into enemies is not a big ask. And yes, sometimes you do have to put yourself in danger, for others or for the cause of the mission. I will not deny that. But....I want you to do everything to minimize such possibilities. Be yourself, but be Smarter about it Please."
