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

Choice made:

And so concludes and continues Teatime with Morgana - Several Boons Received, and Several Prices Received Too. You and Morgana enjoy each other's company for the duration of the Encounter....
- And are then all By yourself, all alone, in the Clearing the Meeting of the Brave was held.

The very VERY first thing Bernhard did upon having been fred from Morgana's grasps - for now, that is - was cringe over himself for he has partly made a massive fool of himself (very not high-ranked-Scimitar like!!) and needing a moment to recover from the highly erratic emotional rollercoaster this evening's time spent with her was again - with an emphasis on 'again', was there ever a time daily teatime with her was not an up and down in emotions in quick succession, ina  positive and negative sense? ...Thinking back, Bernhard came to the conslusion that there was not, for afterwards he'd always feel bad about himself, loathe himself for having fallen into her traps and teasings. And for having fallen for her over the months, spiked tea or not.

...But would he trade away or undo what he and the fae lady are having? Never so! Least he'd risk his head for giving her the cold shoulder.


How he's all by himself - treasured solitude! - does do well to ease his mind, for here he can gather his thoughts and vivid(!) emotions for a bit. Yes 'vivid' emotions, for Morgana knows EXACTLY how to tickle these onto the surface of the oh-so-cold and stoic Sky Skim. Eventually and after a while, he'd opt to send a text or the Magi-equivalent of a text to all the others that were present at the Meeting of the Brave:

Message sent

Greetings. Bernhard here. Got some news that I meant to share with you all.


First of, my sincere apologies for the visit of Morgana when we all met up for the first time in that park. That was solely my fault: I was missing out an invitation of hers due to the astral journey to another plane of existence, causing her to come after me to pick me up for...tea and merriment, as she puts it (please don't ask). She has put forth to be 'discrete' during future visits though, so that's a good sign. Please do let me know if she happens to cross your path again, given I am...familiar with the fine lady she is, and feel like I owe you some sort of damagecontrol at least.

Furthermore, I do vouche for any trouble my artistic partner-Pokemon may have caused you, too late have I noticed that they have slipped my care and watch. They are...hard to not notice given their chimeric appearance and frollic nature - Do let me know if you spotted them, for I will be on the lookout to have her return safe and sound to my side where they belong.

I am staying at and traversing Bayhama City for now - reasons that are not your business prevent me from heading towards home - or the place I am most close to call 'home' - the Mageocracy, for now that is. Trying to gather more insight and knowledge about the whole issue with the Astral Stones, as well as hone my skills further, as ever. I am...more used to travel alone with just my selected assortment of magically-bound partner-Pokemon, though fate and fortune have decided against it, it seems. Therefor, please do let me know once you are readying to leave Bayhama in direction of the outskirts, for I will then tagg along. I prefer to only be bothered in serious cases until then, though I remain available should there be a need.

Oz, if you happen to have any loose or spare feathers of your Honchcrow, please keep a hold of them, for I might make good use of them for futher alchemistic creations. I will remember and return your favour.

That should be all for now. Do take care.

Speaking about it - Where the heck IS Zephy? She should be somewhere in Bayhama, with 'somewhere' being quite the stretch.


Action: Find where dafaque Zephy is, and reunite the pair. No he won't scold the artsy birdmouse - though he does have some words for her. Given the time, I'd also take most of the stores in Bayhama are closing or are closed already, so let's save shopping for tomorrow - so how about finding some moderate wild Pokemon to fight in the nearby area with Zephy, as a way to vent and bond/re-bond with her again as a 4th Encounter please? Plus I haven't had the chance to really use Zephy, excited to try her out in battle? NO Trainer Battle though please - for Bernhard looks down on these, refuses these, and using Pokemon in a magical Scimitar-way is much cooler.

EDIT: I'd take Bernhard receives Seddi's message later, or chooses to not respond just yet, for wanting to find Zephy back and sort his thoughts and emotions first.

Prior to sending the more urgent message (possibly even before Seddi started talking with the Professor. Or maybe after the urgent matters are done being discussed?), Seddi would also send Bernhard a message concerning the location of his feathered friend.  And probably much to Bernhard's delight, Seddi keeps it brief and to the point.

Duly noted, Bernhard.  Mind lettin' me know if you catch wind of Morgana heading my way?  I expect she's going to be keepin' an eye on me.

As for your feathered friend, she introduced herself to me and Ianai shortly after you left, though only as Muse.  Oz was a bit of a mess in the wake of that meeting's conclusion, so Muse flew after her once she finished talkin' with us.  Pretty sure she was headed towards the beaches.  Wasn't causin' any trouble that I know of.
