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

[Pokekitty2]

The burly man jerks a bit, startled. "Ah- ehm-" The espeon gives him a sharp look and a reproachful, "Esp!" and he coughs and straightens up. "Um, yes. We're lendin' what help we can. Ah'm Randy, and this is Sylvia-" he gestures towards the espeon. Randy goes to offer a handshake, hesitates, then sets his resolve and sticks his hand out firmly. "What's yer names?"

Sylvia, aware of her disadvantage against the Ceruledge, gives it a friendly nod. No desire for confrontation here.

The cowboy briefly raises an eyebrow at the Espeon's interjection.  It doesn't take a trained eye to tell who seems to be in charge here.  And given this is a Psychic type pokemon, it might be time for a little experiment...

[Wonder if Sylvia can hear this...might make communication go more smoothly if she can communicate telepathically.]

The cowboy shakes Randy's hand firmly shortly after that silent, inquisitive bout.

"Seddi M. Entary. Paldean Elite Ace, ambassador, and temporary assistance for Bayahama's law enforcement. The grim lookin' ghost behind me is Ceruledge, one of my Swords. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, though I wish it was in more pleasant circumstances. Coordinated lootin' and kidnappin' wasn't on my list of 'trouble I was expectin' to run into' today."

Seddi looks to Sylvia next.  "Since you're helpin' out, I have an idea that might help us both.  Are you able to Synchronize with other individuals, Sylvia?"

Sylvia notes Seddi’s telepathic communication, but doesn’t respond right away. An astute observer might be able to see her ear twitch though.

At your name, there’s a *snerk* sound and everyone looks at Sylvia, who is shaking with laughter. She quickly regains her composure, however.

Randy is impressed and startled by your introduction. “Ah- ehm- a pleasure meeting ya’ nonetheless, Seddi…”

Your question gets an inquisitive humm from Sylvia. She seems to think for a second, and then you can feel something *unfurl* in the mental space, like a cat stretching after a nap.
>>It is a pleasure to meet you, Seddi. I apologize for my rudeness - your name surprised me. I like it.
>>I am Sylvia. I’ve come expecting adventure, but this was similarly not on my radar. Hopefully we can help clear it up.
>>A pleasure to meet you, as well, Ceruledge. I do hope we needn’t cross blades.

Randy seems relieved that Sylvia has finally spoken up, allowing him to take a backseat.

>>Seddi- I must admit I have never tried to Synchronize, though I agree it would be helpful. I am willing to try.
