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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

DAY 2 begins - And yes I do spend 1 Willpoint to reveal Fortune Rolls for that day please.

Still, and despite everthing after that initiate negative reaction, Bernhard is glad and relieved that she has returned to him, in one state or the other. He whispers a very VERY light "Thank you, and welcome back to my side where you belong..." to the sleeping artist, doing his very best to, uhm, ignore the blatantly messy state she's in and cherish the comfort of her seeking his nearness by sleeping off her hangover - artistic hangover AND alcoholic hangover?! Oh my... (￢_￢) - right there on his chest. For a little bit, Bernhard will stay like this, ruffle gently through her white ruff, scratch her under the chin and on her forehead and simply watch her catching her much MUCH needed Z's... At some point, they even started to smile very lightly so. T

...Okay, enough of sappy stuff and fuzzy feelings. Back to business.

First thing we do is gently pick Zephy up and bring her to the bathroom, where we'll try to get the worst stains of paint and Berry Juice off her feathers and fur using some aftershave as dissolvent; and bring at least some order into her coat. The fine-tuning you gotta do yourself, dear artists Mythicmon, or at least wake up first! Every now and then, Bernhard has to surrpress another headshake over whatever she has gotten herself into... But well, at least she seemed to have had her fun, without him. Can't say that he himself had not so likewise, without her. Probably better this way, in hindsight.

Then we'll collect the Flash Power (!!!!! I see what you did here Windos, and I GREATLY appreciate it! Does it have the exact same effect as stated towards you or is it edited/balanced by you further?) and broken Camera - which we'll keep - from Zephy, and bring her back to the main room. Taking a pen and 'giving' it into her tiny paw, we'll 'help' her sign any artwork collected so far via moving her paw - The signature reads 'Muse, secret rampaging artist of Bayhama City - see today's news and press!'. The artworks in question are those two collected yesterday night when she was on the loose as well as those one's she has created from the evolution of Myra yesterday - which brings me to the question over how many those are exactly, as it's been stated as 'plenty' only. (One is to be kept while the others are going to be turned into money)

...And then we'll recall her into her PremierBall for her to sleep off her hangoever, and eventually get back to Seddi/@Dragonstrike at last. Boy had the guts to contact him once more, Bernhard hopes it is important...

*reads message where he states about the Gov willing to reward them with a Philosopher's Stone*

........Heck, if Bernhard wasn't seated already, he'd now keel over and fall off his chair. Adjusting their reading glasses to make sure they read that right - An ACTUAL and REAL exemplar of... Ohooo, very well, very well then. VERY WELL THEN. Fu fu fu... Now that is quite the temptation and reward, now isn't that?~ Plus a trial beforehand to stay safe? Hmm...

The cowboy-researcher soon got a message in response, which reads as following :

Greetings and good morning to you, Seddi. Genuine thanks for you further inputs concering the matter of the Wandering Hurricane.

Consider me...mildly interested. In helping you on the matter of fighting it, in the Philosopher's Stone, in your further information about where to meet up tonight, and very much so in that 'optimal test' provided by Ianai. For me feels it is VERY important we all do a trial first and foremost on something less dangerous, to see how well we can work together as a team and how well our synergy effects turn out to be. Given we've all got in contact just yesterday, you see... Though dear me would be lying if I were to say I am indifferent about how experienced in combat your Iron Leaves is. You deserve my respect if you proove to me that you can wield her accordingly.

There we go. With that done, Bernhard makes haste to the salesperson of the TM Shop, who's perhaps been awaiting them already... First up, we'll hand him over the NOW SIGNED(!) artworks. *faked suffering sigh of exhaustion, as well as hand on forehead* "Please do not ask how much of a HASSLE it was to contact the artist and copyright-owner of these, for they treasure their secrecy and privacy like a Purugly treasures its pride... But, lucky to you, I managed to establish contact to them and gather their approval to sell them for you to display, oh dear and oh-so-lucky salesman..."

Regarding the Letter: It gets sent off without a hitch, as whatever delievery man/Mon knows any missive by you is Top Priority Mail that needs to be delivered ASAP and NO screw ups allowed! Sadly, you know from experience that your Mentor takes awhile to get back on correspondence - being the head honcho of the whole Magi Nation is BUSY and hard work, and he wouldn't have his underlings send a reply in his stead when it comes to you. Prepare for waiting time, as usual.

Your Artist Dynamo *Mrrrs* and *Rumbles* as you pet her, snuggling in deeper into your chest. Daw...

For washing up Zephy, Let's do a Cleaning Roll, DEX + Survival + Perform - 2 for being VERY STINKY, ew! 
(1)(2)(4)(4)(6)

You manage to get the worst of the mess out of her fur and freshen her up a bit, but even afterwards she still faintly reeks of alcohol and looks a bit scuffy. Also, she sleeps through it, and that a wet Zephy is VERY silly looking, he he!

The Flash Powder is the same as the one found in The Camera Shop Vernon stumbled upon - it can either be used as is, or as a Main Ingrediant in Alchemy for Flash Based/Illumination/Light Based brews and Items! 

While getting Zephy to 'sign' her art, you end up writing 'Magnificent Miastro Muse - Magically Messing Many!' instead,  very messily. This tends to happen when it comes to her 'making' Art in anyway - she just influences it passively, even by proxy!

You can keep 1x Unit of the Pictures that Zephy made of the Myra Evo Scene ($250), while the rest sells for a collective $1250 Poke (Base). 

Zephy returns to her Ball without issue, though as it connects to your Gauntlet you get a shiver down your spine - you have a feeling that if you draw upon any of Zephy's Power or Capabilities in your First Encounter, things will get messy REAL quickly (Dread Dead Blaster's Negative Effect!). Up to you if you want to dance with Miss Fortune and court Lady Luck if you want to use her anyway....

*Time Skip - TM Shop!*

The salesman eagerly takes all the artwork, giving you 2X the total Value of it all! 

"Ha ha, my deepest thanks, to you and them! Don't deal with artists much, but I've heard they're all headcase or eccentrics, so I believe what you're telling me! Still, if it allows them to make works this fabulous I don't mind if they're crazier that a rabid and confused Growlithe!"

He goes about hanging the art pieces all over his store, giving the shop a very cozy yet mystical vibe. Already customers around and entering take note, making nods and noises of admiration as they look at them in between shuffling around for TMs.

The guy then motions for you to a cleared out area in the middle of the store, a sorta-stage in the middle and a chair off to the side, complete with a bottle of water and some snacks.

"Right, I got everything prepped on my end for ya, so go up their and get ready for whatever act or Magic you want to Perform! The bigger and more spectacular, the better, but careful not to blow up the shop!!"

Hmm...go wild, in other words. What's your plan here, mate? You have a Portable Cauldron and Mini-'Lab' on your Person (as well as plenty of Empty Bottles) to do Potions/Brews Alchemy , as well as a portable stand/table to make a temp work area for everything (Bern comes prepared!), but you could also elect to do Magic of some sort, have your Mons put on a Performance, or even try some Performing yourself if the whim takes you. Story time can also be done too, if you want to go the' Wise Old Wizard' route and 'remember' some details about Magi Culture , Lore, and History! You get 3 Different 'Slots' to fill with Any kind of Performance/Magic to be done, so pick carefully now!
