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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Sada nods back, her mood grim and full of frustration. 

“Yes, that is what I surmise as well. Officials have been cagey about the details, so I suspect whatever happened was something they don’t want to get out. Espionage or sabotage, I suspect. *Sighs* In any case this may be a blessing in disguise, since it me we can ‘put off’ contacting La Primera in the meantime. Or not receive Order that conflict e we it’s our interests, as is more likely to be the case with how…tense Bayhama is.”

The wild Professor’s eyebrows shot up in both alarm and deep interest, causing her to lighten up as a consequence.

“Truly? Preliminary research suggested the this region’s F.M.s were scarce and found deeper in the continent… Perhaps the influx of people and the brewing discord have drew some in? * Shakes head* In any case I will let our contacts know - no doubt they will be less than thrilled to hear another problem has joined in on the ‘fun’.

“I would like to study this ‘Bio Fang’ , if you can convince Akamu in lending it to me. It would be nice to do my job for a change of pace, and it would be good to get a full baseline of it before he attempts to Teain or Fight with it. Iron Leaves could theoretically continue her own assessment, but it sounds like she is…less than enthused about going so.”

Notably you don’t hear Leaves chime in, only getting a suppressed sense of dread and discomfort about the ferocious future feline.

“*Sighs* That is the last thing I wanted to do, but very well. They’ll be notified ASAP, when I can find the time and nothing ELSE appears to make my life more difficult.”

Your attitude toward that looming ordeal gets pursed lips from Sada, before she nods again.

“…Very well. Be warned : once they are informed, they will want you to sign the Contract immediately and give an ETA of battling the G.W.H. . They were already growing anxious about your response before everything HAPPENED yesterday - judging by the near frenzy they are in now I think they are close to calling things off entirely to refocus on current issues or employ more drastic measures at controlling the situation. Perhaps both, if things get more dire or if they feel pressured. We could use the current crisis as leverage for a better deal or more flexibility, but that could as easily backfire. In any case , the situation lies in your hands - deal with it the best you can.”

(Alright, let's start getting Seddi caught up now)

"Hopefully that Flutter doesn't give us much trouble.  I'm not exactly equipped to deal with it at the immediate moment if it does become a larger issue."

...and then a thought occurs to him.

"...now that I think about it though, there's a non-zero chance I'm gonna be wranglin' that critter tonight, whether I have a Steel type or not.  I can think of one very good reason why there might be a Paradox wanderin' around outside of its usual territory.  Might have Ianai to thank for that.  Might be the closest thing to a Wandering Hurricane that she can lure in.  Could be wrong and it's an entirely 'natural' phenomena, of course, but..."

After leaving that thought hanging, Seddi moves on to other topics.

"I'll let Akamu know.  Plannin' to meet up with him later for a little sword practice.  Ran into a Blademaster Kimono Girl at the bar last night, and she had an interestin' proposition for him since he expressed interest in learnin' how to use a fancy blade he'd found.  Even gave us her card."

It's not really related to their research, but he'll show Sada' the business card and the fancy sword emblem on it.  "Called her order the 'Blade Lineage'.  Very mysterious lady."

No further comment needed on the video update needed!  He fully expects that he might receive some questions from the group if Sada' is too busy to answer them herself.

As for the political talk...

"If the suits are gettin' antsy, best I get that contract signed soon to lock those plans in.  Should probably get goin' and knock on their door soon as I can."

----------------------------

Encounter 1:  Signing the contract to take down the GWH! (assuming it takes up an encounter slot.  Otherwise, I can think of something else to fill the time!)

Seddi makes his way to the relevant area of the governmental sector of the city.  If there's one place not completely shut down in this lockdown, it's going to be the offices of the guys trying to run everything smoothly.  He has no doubts that he's going to be walking into something chaotic and stressful, but everyone here is on a time limit, including him, darn it!  They want him to put his life on the line and bail their sorry asses out?  They're gonna have to stick to his schedule, however he can arrange it!

Somewhat deep in thought, maybe he wanders past a familiar looking Espeon wandering around the shared embassy grounds along the way...he's not looking for her though, so if she wants to talk, she's gonna have to start the conversation.
