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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Sylvia looks at the Pokeball as it bumps up against her paw, and gives a little *huff*.
"Well then." She looks back up at Murkrow, and gives a sad smile. "You're the first to offer me the choice."


Sylvia sits still for a long moment, lost in thought. Then she knocks the ball back towards her bag. "I will not capture you. You're a sharp one - I think your perception is perhaps your strongest weapon, and I don't wish to dull that."
"...should you wish it, though, the offer is still open."

...
Sylvia looks over at Slash and Sir, on the bed. "Sorry to wake you two. Are you alright?"
Sir gets up from the bed and hops onto the floor, moving over to Sylvia and pressing a gentle wing to the front and back of her head. "Sir."
Syliva sighs, relaxing into him. "I know, I know. I'm alright. Being in a new place is always stressful..."
Slash is sitting up on the bed, carefully keeping their claws out of the sheets. They similarly approach Sylvia, but don't get too close because they don't want to get too near to the Murkrow.

...
There's a knock at the door. Sylvia looks towards it and it opens. The harsh, artificial light of the hallway spills into the room and cuts the natural gloom, and Randy moves into the room.
"Sylvia."
"Espeon." (Greetings.)
Randy looks around the room, at the four near the center of the floor, and then reaches over and flicks on the lights. Each of the 'mons jumps - Sir simply blinks, Slash throws up a claw, Sylvia shuts her eyes, arching her back with a hiss, and Murkrow flaps their wings with a discontented caw.
"I'm not going ta be accompanyin' ya today. Got sum'tings to deal with. But behave urself, yeah?"
Sylvia shakes herself, blinking as she adjusts to the light and letting her fur settle before responding.
>>If I need help getting my papers in order, I'll come find you. I appreciate you escorting me, but I think I'm quite all right now. Thank you.
"No prob'm, Sylvia. Oh- and be careful out there. Not many know o' yah, or what you can do. I don't all like the idea of some trainer chuckin' balls at ya."
Sylvia glances towards the trash can.
>>I think I can handle myself, but thanks. Take care, Randy.
"You to, Sylvia. Good luck."

...
(I believe that's the first encounter mostly wrapped up? Unless Murkrow's got a response, or you've something to add, which I left space for.)

What's next for the 'mons is normal morning routines - food, of course, as well as hygiene. After that, Slash will retreat to their ball, and Sylvia and her wingmen (lol) will move out into the city. Sylvia knows that there's got to be some kind of shop open to gather supplies at, and other than that some weirdo wandering around will probably be interesting enough to interact with.

(Feeling a little limited, to be honest, but I suppose that's how Lockdown is. Training with Murkrow would logically be the next step, but that's out of the question for the moment due to mechanics lol. I trust ya, Windos, to find me something interesting )

A single, sharp nod is given - or shared, perhaps.

"This one is glad-honored to be the first, to offer and twine choice most profane and divine. May others, too, give you what is due."

Murkrow doesn't deign to answer the rest of your response, though you can tell they shall keep it in mind by that firm gaze they share.

Slash grumbles and tries to return to rest, but Sir seems Alert and ready to Tackle the day, saluting you with impeccable decorum and attention. Early to bed, early to rise with this one right here! 

Slash is even more displeased with Randy after turning the ligths, throwing some conjured up slush at them in a fit of tired irritation. Cold shoulder for you!

I wouldn't call that decision alone a whole Encounter, so we can happily slot in 'Training' Murkrow! 

As for how in your case?

How about a game of Watch 'n Name? Sylvia thinks / searches the background of the area she is in for something to test Murkrow's visual acuity and logical deduction, come up with little hint to tease their brain, and then see what the crow does? You have full liberty in what you want them to find - though if you wish I can come up with the objects and leave the word puzzle to you!
