[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Karen is mildly perturbed by Hydregion's excessive scarfing down of food.
"Blech"
--
Karen approaches Braixen (preferably after having eaten), clearly concerned for her. "Is everything okay? If you need to talk about anything, I'm glad to listen."

Once the conversation with Braixen is done, Karen will be ready for the briefing.

Daxter watches the Hydreigon scarf large amounts of food with mild amusement. "Uh, mate. You sure that's good for you? I mean, I know you've got three heads and all, but don't you only have one stomach?"

Daxter then carefully approaches Sheena. He looks around warily, making sure that nobody is eavesdropping before gently nudging her with a claw. "So, love, you give my proposal from yesterday any thought? You seem like you could handle yourself, obviously, but I think your 'mum' would be a bit more calm about you going off on adventures if you had a proper group to do it with."

After that, Daxter exchanges hellos and good mornings with the rest of the Night Wardens before nodding at Hydreigon to signal that he's ready to go and meet with Haxorus.

Hydreigon briefly pauses the scarfing down of food and smiles at Daxter.  "Oh yes, it's quite fine!  And delicious even!  As an emissary of the Voice of Life, I need quite a lot of energy, you know!"

Braixen sighs when the Night Wardens approach and ask how she's doing.  "I don't know what to expect, honestly.  It's hard to get a read on the guildmaster.  She's just so...guarded.  I have no idea if she'd even consider your offer or not."

She takes a deep breath, a renewed confidence in her eyes.  "...but that's not going to stop me from trying to convince her.  I'm sick of being stuck in the guild.  Maybe she'll actually listen this time if you're backing me up."

Kogeki did sleep, and thankfully didnt had any nightmares while resting. He awake very much early in the morning, and did a bit of training swings with his blade (not a training session, just casual training to keep his body ready for anything). After some light training and another good bath, he join with the others in the inn. He see everyone inside the lobby. He...was not a very bright mood because of yesterday fights and not so pleasant surprises. He did see Madame Twintales in one of the tables. He didnt get the chance to thank her for the battle against Tornadus and the help to take care the giant Sandaconda. He approach her and gave her a respectful bow.

"Good day Madame Twintales. Did you sleep well?" If there was someone else with her, Kogeki will also give the other person (or persons) a morning greeting.

Madame Twintales politely nods to Kogeki.  "And a good morning to you as well, Kogeki.  Truthfully, no, I did not sleep very well.  The Glacial Ruins being taken over by Tornadus, however briefly...it is weighing heavily on my mind.  As a disciple of Master Kyurem, I do not fully understand how I could not have foreseen that.  Nor why Master Kyurem would have allowed such a thing to occur if they knew about it."

Zeraora is sharing a table with her, and he gives Kogeki a brief nod of acknowledgement, before resuming their conversation with the icy fox.  "Maybe Kyurem was busy with more important matters.  I hardly think you have much reason to be concerned about them."

"True, I do know they are at the Altar of Ice at least.  My condolences for what happened to your own master."

Zeraora grunts.  "...sympathy isn't gonna help.  We need to find Lord Raikou, and quickly."

"Yes, time does seem to be of the utmost essence."

(Due to currently being BUSY on getting the Foundations of my campaign started and actually getting everyone started, I request Platina be Autoed for the unforeseeable future. Once everything is DONE enough for me to dedicate time to making good posts here. Getting this stuff written up takes tiiiiiime, forgive me mates! You should know what my PC wants to do, and she woud revea the dream to Hydregion + the Group [Including the Name to Hydregion, hesitantly] )

Hydreigon finally looks away from his plates of food and gives Platina a confused and curious look when she describes the dream she had.  "...a name, you say?  How strange..."

He thinks very carefully for a moment, choosing what to say very deliberately as he appears to be lost in thought.

"From what you are describing to me, it sounds as if you were shown a memory.  A very hazy memory and a name to accompany it.  It's reminiscent of what little a recently transformed human might recall, in fact.  I know for a fact though that you are not human.  How strange...in all my time on this mortal coil, I have never heard of anything like this before.  Of humans retaining all of their memories, yes.  Sue was one of those lucky few that never lost who they originally were to begin with.  But for a pokemon to suddenly recall the memories of a human?  Unheard of."

Hydreigon looks back to Platina.  "You should seek the Voice of Life at the World Tree once you have returned to Sahra Town and gotten your current affairs in order.  As the representative of everything living thing on this planet, they may know more about why you are remembering those things.  Unfortunately, I am only a mere emissary.  I was more once upon a time, but I have given up much of that power to remain here and watch over Paradise and the Mist Continent."

...and then he goes right back to chowing down on his food, aiming to finish it before everyone is ready to go to the meeting with Haxorus.

-------------------------------

Moments before everyone is ready to head to Paradise, thumps are suddenly heard outside, before a familiar yellow pokemon bursts through the doors of Swanna's Inn!

"Never fear, the Dashing Wanderer is here!  I do hope I'm not late for the debriefing!"

The Dashing Wanderer!: Wandering Ampharos - Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

Dedenne facepalms and Bunnelby just shakes his head.  Ampharos's terrible sense of direction strikes again!

"Ampharos, the meeting place is in the opposite direction from the town."

"Oh?  You mean it's not here?  But everyone's here!"

"Everyone except the one who actually called the meeting."

"And also Guildmaster Delphox."

"Ah, the Guildmaster!  Wonderful!  I was hoping to have a chance to speak with her about some matters.  I've heard there's been new Mystery Dungeons popping up on the Sand Continent recently.  Lead the way!"

He then promptly turns around and bumps into the wall next to the door, and Bunnelby and Dedenne have a hushed conversation about the cirumstances.

"Whoops!"

"...that's our boss for ya."

"I'm impressed he even managed to get here on his own.  Did Mawile not come with him this time?"

"Guess not.  Maybe something's keeping her busy back home."

With full bellies and much to think on, everyone eventually files out of Swanna's Inn and begins making their way to Paradise, where Haxorus's team and Delphox await...

(Next post will be the big meeting!  Gonna work on that separately a little later)
