[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

As expected your trusty sword fish leaps to your defense, ready to rip and tear....!

- And ends up shooting through a hoop.

That this downright ridiculously cute critter was holding, now hovering away from you. She - from the sound of her voice - does a little round of applause for Veluza!

"Woo-hoo! Bravo! 5/5 Stars! Real go-getting attitude, with the right amount of force to back it up! You go, fishie wishy!"

Veluza is now rather perplexed and a little uncertain at this situation he found himself in, looking back to you with a mild frown of concern. Uh...boss, you didn't say this was a performance or nothing, so what gives...?

Your words do manage to smooth things over, taking just long enough for that floating mouse-bird to giggle at you three - Ianai had a alarmed look and had a hand on Dusk Ball in particular on her shawls... - and dismiss the ring by throwing it away, where upon it vanished in a sparkling *Puff!*

"Hu hu hu! Where'd I come from, ya asking? Why its up in the air, of course! You'd be Surprised how often ya poor ground locked dwellers just don't look up - though that make things more amusing, hu hu hu...!"

The being before you - who seems to draw your attention like a Magnet Pull has on a Tinkaton looking for ferromagnetic scrap - rights herself before you, floating in mid-air at roughly head level and giving you all a exaggerated bow, sporting an impish smile all the while.

"Yes Indeedee I am! I'd tell ya my name, but 'Erni might feel put out if they don't do the introducing. They get a bit pouty if they're not allow to put on their 'Serious Mage' stick when it comes to me, hu huh! So for now, call me what ya like, Irons Man and Mystic Lass!"

She makes a couple of finger/paw guns and 'shoots' at you two with a wink, colorful but harmless sparks coming out and creating a miniature fireworks display.

"As for what 'else ya saying..."

She quirks an eyebrow that suddenly appeared on her face, waggling it up and down.

" Sometimes, Fate works in funny ways to pair ya up with the one you need most. Ain't that right, Sword Inheritor?"

The fuzzy and ridiculously cute creature then sighes, and seems to mellow out a tad.

"'Right, sorry about startling ya two. Just wanted to lighten things up after....that bitch popped in and almost cleaned house with ya lot. 'Course it gave me the chance to slip Erni for some personal time 'round the city and get to know the colorful Souls he ended up meeting in the Astral Expanses, but I'll die and distort in Giratina's Domain before I thank that demoness for the opportunity."

For a split second that cute expression turns Dark and ugly, before she perks right back up like it never happened.

"*Looks at Seddi, Concerned* Anywho...ya okay Seddi? Saw what happened between you and that bitch - not sure what it was, but I did know it involved the twos of yours Souls doing a freaky tango. Nearly took that as a chance to try and kill her again for the sheer gaul of messing with Souls like THAT, 'til I figured out it was on accident and you were strangely 'right. *Tilts head* Thought you'd be driven mad or dead from experiencing that bitch on full blast, but now that I'm getting a better looking at ya....your Soul is pretty tough and fine-tuned, eh? "

*Crosses Arms*

"I'm also very curious as what got her to give that Boa to you - bitch treasures her most momentous moments dearly, the fucking sicko - but if you don't want to share that's s'fine by me. All I want to know is if you're okay, okay? Not too good with that kind of thing no-more, but I could try to soothe any soul-aches you have left if you Wish?"

"I'm also curious to know more about what is with all them Swords of yours - I was teasing ya earlier, but are you seriously trying to take up the mantle of The Swords of Justice?"

Ianai for the moment remains silent, casting a wary glare at the Mythical Creature before her. She does not trust it, so she will be cautious and decide if it need be driven away...

"Fate's a funny thing sometimes, yeah.  Bet Bernhard's got a real interestin' story about this."

Seddi crosses his arms as this strange pokemon questions him, treating the encounter surprisingly casually.  "Honestly, still a bit shaken up, but I'll be fine.  Not my first tango with gettin' a little messed up like that.  Wasn't pleasant seein' exactly what that boa is made from get their neck snapped-and experiencing it as well for that matter-but I'll survive."

As for that last question...

"Nobody could ever really replace those Swords, lil' one.  I'm not purposefully lookin' to pick a fight with Enigma either.  The Top Champion would kill me if I did.  Just happen to have a particular affinity for rather sharp pokemon."

Between Leaves and that Boa, maybe there is something there.  It's not anything that Seddi had been purposefully seeking out though, so he's rather confident in saying it's not really a goal of his.
