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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

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.

Ceruledge subtly nudges Seddi when she sees the Espeon's ear twitch.  He takes a note of that.  Looks like he's going to need to be careful with what he thinks around these two.  At least for now.

Seddi doesn't even bat an eye at Sylvia's own introduction (and her snickering at his name).  Maybe not surprising given he seemed to have been anticipating the telepathy already, but the man is certainly a bit of a mystery who looks and acts a little out of place himself.

"No offense taken.  You can probably imagine how often I get reactions like that when I introduce myself."

Ceruledge gives Sylvia a respectful, silent nod in return.  Though she's still keeping a careful eye on the Espeon and her interpreter(?), she's started scanning the area for anyone that looks suspicious. Some of the pressure from her staring is alleviated for now.

"Right then.  Rabsca, come on out!"

Seddi tosses a Nest Ball, and the floating psychic beetle immediately takes notice of the other powerful Psychic presence in the area.  Their eyes are closed, but it's clear they're interested in the Espeon.

"With your permission Sylvia, I'd like Rabsca to directly assist you with scanning the area.  He's a powerful Synchronizer himself, and if you combine your abilities, maybe you'll be able to pick up on something we might miss otherwise.  The sensation can feel a little invasive if you aren't expecting it and are sensitive to such powers, so you are free to deny the direct Synchronization if you have privacy concerns.  Rabsca works much more efficiently when Synchronized though, and it could double our productivity, which is why I'm suggesting it.  The sooner we track down these varmints, the better."
