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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Oz indeed get startled by the sudden grip of the Dandy man and by instinct punch in the face (Dex+Fight+Brawl maybe?) and when she understood what she did, she was scary about what she did! "Good sir! I SORRY I DIDNT MEAN TO-!"



Before she would sulk in more guilty again, Dandy did his speech to her. Saying she is not cursed, but a blessing. She could try to release herself...but his words, make her want to stay and listen to each one, his determination and kind (however strong) words sinking into her shattered soul, each second cleaning at least a bit of the ocean of sorrow and regret that is her spirit.

About how much she cared about the lives she want to save...about how much sometimes not all lifes can be saved...but despite all that, she must be strong. Not only for her and the ones that stayed...but for the one who is not here anymore.

She then remember something...something the one she once care loved say to her before dying.

Spoiler

A smile, from Glinda, looking at me and saying her words:

Live life at the fullest...I will always love you...my beloved sister.

That memory, with the adition of Dandy words was enough to at least break some of the guilty who was consuming Oz. "*Sob* *Snif* I...I-I-" She then tigh hug Dandy, burying her face in his chest, letting all the sorrow letting out of her soul though her tears. She stay there for several minutes, burying her face on his chest...she problably sulk his shirt with her tears, but there nothing she could do right now. After long minutes she begin to talk again.

"I...*sob*Its been years I blame myself...And I still blame...but...those words you said...I know remember how much I missed to hear from someone...*crying* Its...*sobbing loud* Its so paintful...Like my heart has been tear apart!"

She release him, still crying a lot. "...You right. There gonna be times Pokemon and People will get hurt...or even died. And these hands will not always save everyone. I not a god, I just a medic...And in the times we live, even the gods themselves can only do much." She begin to clean her eyes, trying to find strengh somewhere. "But...I can't give up...As much hard it is, and how much hard it will become as time passes...Fate for some reason give me these talents...And whether it was for irony or other reason, I refuse to let them be forsaken."

"I must live life at the fullest. Not only for the ones who still with me." She touch her Pokeballs, where inside was Fortuna, Persephone and Hecate. "But for the ones who is not here anymore. I must...no, I will be stronger! For my sisters, and for Sutalör. I make a oath to save lives, to be a medic capable of save as much lives I can! Be human, Pokemon and anyone in between!"

She once again hug the Dandy man. This time not of sadness, but of thanks. "...I still need to face my demons, to conquer them, and learn again to rely on others...And I still fearful what could happen to them...But...At least I find my drive again to be a medic, to be hopeful. To face destiny in the face one more, and find courage to try to be brave again."

"This is the path of a healer. Not to just heal others wounds, but let be heal by others too..."

She release once again the Dandy man, and finally with a smile on her face, she look at the man wound she problably land on him. "I...forgive me for the punch...I didnt mean it, truly. If you let me, I would like to compensate in heal that injury I land on you."

"And...well..." She timid touch one finger of her to other not knowing how to ask. "I know this is a bit sudden, specially after the bond we make but...can I...request a battle with you? It would help finally put aside that gloomy atmosphere, and you looks someone not only someone with a strong spirit, but also a strong trainer. And I think my sisters would like to have a battle. I dont...dont think I a pretty lady as you keep mentioning, since me thinks they are far prettier than me and strong." She half joke, now a bit up in the mood than before.

No Rolls needed - you land a solid fist straight in the long strider's face! One that he winces from but otherwise tanks without much fuss! 

"Tsssh....yeah, deserve that, but it had to be done!"

Gently, calmly, and with great and deliberate care, the Dandy Man returned your hug, patting you on the back and quietly comforting you.

"Sssh. Sssh. Just like that - let ya sorrows flow right on out."

Once your feelings manage to even out a bit he easily let you go, acting so casual yet so comforting as he simply gives you a smile.

" Dang straight as Quick Attack to the heart. Remember this feelings. Keep that resolve. Worst of life and all the baddies in the world will keep taking dookies on ya to bury you in all that crud, *Smirks!* but you're not gonna let'em! You're going to keep on going, keep on improving, keep on saving, keeping on and keeping on. Little by little, big by big. All one step at a time.  *Snap of hand into a Finger gun!*Got that, darling?"

From there he simply nods and cheers along as you reaffirm your conviction and fill yourself with the DETERMINATION to be the best God Given Medic you an possibly be, looking so damn proud and happy for you.

"That's right, that is exactly, 100% correct-ta-mundo! You go, lady o' grace and healing, ye-heyah!"

The Dandy Man brushes off your apology with a shrug - "Got what I deserved handling a lady without her 'mission." -  but he gives you a startled look at your request before letting out a pleased guffaw!

"Hoo-boy, that ain't quite a date, but I still like the sound of it! Sure, we can have a go at it - tomorrow. *Rubs head with an apologetic Smile* Sorta taking a break from any serious battlin today 'less its called for, and it is getting pretty late. How about First thing tomorrow (First Encounter)? My morning is free - though for a lovely gal like you I'd be willing to make time for 'most anything, heh!"

Your last comment gets an mock affronted lock from the man, with him placing a hand over his heart and a 'why I never' expression plastered on his face.

"Dear, honey, I'm a Dandy Man, a Groove Meister, and a Slick Devilish Rogue with a Keen Eye for Beauty, and you? *Finger Guns with a Wink and Cheeky Grin!* You're a 10/10 angel, baby."

Smooth words, but will they land?

At that moment the sun finally sets, and the stars come out - so bright, clear, and wonderful that it makes your heart ache all over again, but in a good way. It's been so long since you've seen them, but...they're still marvelous as ever to witness. A sentiment that the Dandy Man next to seems to echo as he looks up at them and lets out a fond sigh, before giving you another grin.

"Welp, I'd say it's 'bout time we mossy on outta here 'fore we Freeze on the Beach, ya dig? Got an offer for ya - want to hang out with me for the night? Not offering a date or anything, but just relax and have some real groovy fun. Ya seem alright now, but we might as well make sure to beat those humdrum blues out right out of ya if we can! I know of a kicking club with the best drinks, and has plenty of action to fit 'bout anyone's style. 'Cluding Battling, though the Fights are mighty Hard and Tough. *Challenging Smirk* Think ya can handle their rough 'n worst, angel?"

Oz gains 5 XP, for good RP and a nice display of coming back from the brink! Oz also gains a Friend - The Dandy Man, whose' name you haven't gotten yet, oh my ! To be fair he hasn't gotten your name too, but still! 

You also some Pearls on the Beach - enough to be worth about $1500 Poke! Dandy Man has a chuckle over the Good Fortune of you stumbling onto them affect accidently digging them up with your shuffling feet - "Yeah, a gem like ya Attract all sorts of goodies, heh!"
