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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

You get a long but clear message back from her - All is well with me. I'm still working on prior takes and dealing with the government. The news reached me just a few moment ago - truly, it is most vile and wrong. I was about to message you about it myself, but it appears you found out as quick as I had. What is going to be stance on this matter? If you are getting involved, I'll be sure to let our 'minders' know and get this sorted out for everyone's benefit, as much as it disgusts me to play these games with matters such as THESE. Rest assure things will be taken care of, one way or another.

Since Oz/ Spiritmon didn't have much more to say, and neither of you made any request for stops, everyone makes great time to the '2nd Pokemon Center' . Dodger would go even faster if he could, but intercity speed laws and the crisis at hand is forcing him to slow down, much to his intense displeasure - he wants to deal with this matter 5 SECOND AGO, let alone NOW.

The scene itself....

An entire Center, cordooned off from the public.

It looks so plain and inviting, like all Centers should.

A lie, all a lie, cruelly and Injustice made by whatever scum responsible for it and so many others...

Around it, small but growing crowd of people, Trainers, and Pokemon, all of them terrified out of their mindss. A few medical tents where stationed nearby, with a few nurses, EMTs, Healers, and other folks staffing them and rushing all about, trying to keep the people that can't be moved alive and well in spite of everything. A far too small squad of police officers, Trainers, detectives, and volunteer forces, all grimly patrolling and maintaining the perimeter with tight grips on their armaments of choice and an even tighter grip on the Pokeballs. 

Everyone was so on edge, all it would take it just one more disaster to set everything off, like the Blaze to an Inferno.

Evil, desperation, and control: the ever toxic relationship on full display...

As you all stepped out of the vehicle the serious and not at all dandy Rodger turned to you two and gave you a quick nod, jerking his head over to wear the police were, who were already taking quick notice of you guys arrival.

"I'll handle the suits for now. Do what you think is best - if anyone tries to stop ya, tell them that Everret is overseeing things now, and you got permission to act straight from him. Though with your own 'status' I reckon it'd take more than a little red-tape to stop you, Seddi, and I doubt the meds would turn down another Helping Hand after you proved yourself. *Sighs* Right, off I go then. Pray and Wish us Good Fortune to resolve things 'fore they get further out of hand, 'cause if this is only the openning act....damn them all."

With that said, off he does go, to do what he does best - helping others, and making everything groovy and dandy eventually.


Pokekitty2 : Just as you were about to head off to do as you may, you both notice something out of place: a salary and Touristy looking man was wandering around inside the perimeter already, looking very much out of his element yet resigned to dealing with things all the same, and at his side an Espeon that was nosing about the place, their eyes and gem stone glowing every now and again as they used their powers to search the scene for ANY clues they can find...

Sada gets a response quickly.

Yup, headed to one of the ransacked Centers now.  Wouldn't do my peers' values justice if I ignored this.  Should also hopefully count as my 'community service' for the day and keep the suits off our backs.  Dodger can put in a good word on that if needed.

As they arrive and Seddi looks around the scene, he grimaces.  Pokemon Centers are supposed to be a place of safety, not...this.

"Oz, see how you can help the medics.  If you have any trouble gettin' in, just let me or Dodger know.  I'm going to start snoopin' around, see if I can figure out who did this and where they went."

...seeing that man and the Espeon though catches Seddi's interest first.

He quickly walks towards the man and feline, flashing his government ID to any officers that ask why he's here.  "Here to give y'all some assistance.  If you got questions about that, go talk to Everett over there."

The man and the Espeon (@Pokekitty2) then suddenly find themselves confronted by a rough and tough looking cowboy, a very serious expression on his face underneath that large cowboy hat.  And he's accompanied by an even grimmer looking Ceruledge that's staring the both of them down, very obviously trying to get a read on them.

"You two here to assist with the investigation?"
