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

[Pokekitty2]

Spoiler

The Sync causes Sylvia to shudder when it snaps into place. She shakes herself a bit before turning her attention to her surroundings, pulling power from Rabsca to enhance her search. However, at least at first, she loses herself in her thoughts...
>? Guh. That was weird.
>? Interesting to know what Synch feels like, though... and I can only imagine if it carried a Burn or Poison with it.
>? No wonder 'mons make that weird face when I do it.
>? Did I make that face? I might've made that face. That's embarrassing.
>? Dad must have been very careful to keep his Sync away from us... I remember using it accidentally, way back when...
Then, she snaps herself out of it.
>? Focus, Sylv.
Not too long later, she finds the footprints. Odd, to be sure - perhaps a use of Teleport, or Fly? If it's teleport, Sylvia might be able to sense it - unless, of course, whomever did it took (really any amount of) care to hide their methods. Even with the Sync, Sylvia isn't *that* powerful.
>? Maybe there's something inside...
[Sylvia, that Murkrow over there might have seen something.  Are you capable of communicating with it?  I could get Rabsca to Synchronize with it, but it's not telepathy, so the information I would be able to get indirectly would be limited.]
Syvlia really couldn't help it - she jumped, and shut down. [Sync with Rabsca ended!]
Sylvia has a small moment of the frightened-cat pose before she collects herself, shaking her paws one at a time (like a cat that's just walked through a puddle).
>>Sorry about that. Still not used to people speaking to me that way.
Sylvia looks forlornly at where the footprints were, obviously preferring to investigate that, but huffs and turns her gaze towards the Murkrow.
>>Alright. I'll see what I can do.
Sylvia, who has some practice speaking to wild 'mons (and city ones in particular), needs no extra preparation before waltzing up to the base of the tree (if anyone tries to stop her, a good 'ole "rub their leg, purr, and then keep walking because you don't care" should do the trick) and peering up at the Murkrow.
“Esp! Esp~eon?”
(Hey there! I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions?)
Sylvia will also try to get a discrete look at what the Murkrow has as it’s adornments, trying to judge its tastes in case a gift/bribe is necessary.

@Dragonstrike : You also have one other option for Enhanced Pokémon Communication - your trusty partner Iron Leaves, via translating what a Mon is saying and sharing it with you. She doesn’t even need to be out her Ball; she can hear them just fine via her link with you. Most of the time she doesn’t or wouldn’t bother doing so, however, as with your other partners you are Bonded strongly enough you understand each other just fine and with wild ones what they have to say doesn’t concern her over keeping Alert for dangerous/interesting stuff.

Sylvia can’t tell if it was a Teleport or not; the ethereal signature was just THAT weird and unnerving. It even unsettled Ceruledge , though only her Trainer and maybe Herself could pick up on that.

Your approach causes the raven to Laser Focus on you, tilting their head back and forth. You couldn’t get a read on them - stupid Dark Typing! - but you have enough experience to know they gauging you. Whether it be with interest, apprehension, or harassment in mind…you’ll soon find out.

Once you raise your question Murkrow looks at you steadily, before gently cawing:

Translation: “Yes, yes, you can! Answer them, maybe so, maybe not.”
 
You notice they’re adorned mostly in silver trinkets shiny metal - they seem to like necklaces a lot, judging by how many it’s wearing, now that you have a closer look.

"Esp... Esp-eon. Esp, eon, espy ësspayéun."
(Fair enough... I should probably begin by introducing myself. The humans call me Syliva, though I prefer [UNTRANSLATABLE].)

If the Murkrow gives a personal identifier, Sylvia will use it. However, I expect a less open response...
If given a name: "Esp! Espeon." (Nice to meet you, [name]!)

Then, the real question:
"Eon... Espy Espeon, espeon esp, esp esp Espeon?"
(The humans are all in an uproar... everything in one of their healing centers disappeared. You seem observant - did you happen to notice anything out of the ordinary?)
