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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

...Dear heavens. Yeah, better try to keep Zephy on a figurative tight leash whenever Morgana becomes a topic or (more so) is around - we don't want to recall and excavate up any unpleasant memories that Bernhard would rather banish into the darkest abyss there can be. Still, when things are/were dire - as they were yesterday night when he brewed up that Panacea, no doubt - it's utterly pleasant to know that his smol artistic birdmouse is not above putting aside her feuds against the fae lady, for Bernhard's own good... Zephy may not know, but our kuudere Scimitar does value that greatly, appreciate it in its fullest and gives her much credit for this one.

Zephy obviously sulking over him gently lecturing her is accepted, her Icy Wind however ignored. As a response she receives another frown and  light hand-gesture of waving things off here - 'Let that be my responsibility, Pandora's Box has already been opened the moment Morgana laid her eyes on me - I shall and must deal with it one way or the other, running away from things and everything that comes from it is no option', is what is expressed in a final glance over to Zephy. Situation dealt with and closed off, next!

(...)


Next, with a boon received and accepted, a deal carried out in a more than pleasant manner... Frankly it's incredibly RARE for Bernhard to take the initiative, and Morgana knows that, so hopefully she does appreciate and value what follows. *Cue for a sultry smile as he gently picks up her hand with his gauntlet'ed hand* "Now then... Do not mind if I do....~"

And right here we're fading to black, leaving these two have their moment of alone time. Details what happens are incoming via PM in shortly, so do stay tuned for that...

We'll be flashing forward to afterwards, perferably once Morgana has left and it's just Bernhard here, alone with the still-untouched cup of blackest tea brimming with cream and his new partner-Pokemon.


The first thing he'll do - once, well, having worked up enough self-composure and got his embarassment and coyness back under control, that is! - is register and connect the smol dear Spritzee to his Gauntlet. If that is possible at all, given he's still semi-locked on Magic... But if it's not, he feels like he can still catch up on that later.

Then, it was time to summon the smol fairy at last, in an almost too meaningful and theatrical manner, a tender smile forming on Bern's usually stoic face at the thought of taking this little creature alongside the no-doubt-eventul ('eventful' in both a positive AND negative sense) journey ahead... Bernhard gives no f#cks about what anyone would think of him if seen with a little endearing Pokemon like a Spritzee, he knows of his position and political stance, and is capable to make them regret having crossed his path. And it being a Pokemon of Morgana's own and personal kin...! Yeah, that goes without saying.


Little Spritzee receives an uncharacteristically gentle smile, and her white beak petted gently (he'd go so far give it a very gentle kiss too, but doesn't want to overdo it and risk alienating the smol 'Mon!) "Greetings and good morning to you, little one... I do take Morgana has informed and updated you on things and circumstances?" *awaits response* "Well then, I do hope you are ready to embark on the travels and adventures ahead under my care and guidance... Your traits of intoxication... I am certain they will be a JOY to put into action."

"I shall and may introduce you to your fellowship later, for right now it is just you and me... let us make use of that time to GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER, now shouldn't we?"


Course of Action for Encounter 1: Get familiar with Spritzee! Speaking of trying out some moves (if possible here in the breakfast nook of the Gleams without creating a mess!), find out about his unique traits and Suprises!, etc.

Can you also give me the still missing Stats so i can register Spritzee in my charasheet? Mainly it's Happiness and Loyalty, I take 'Magic' is a unique Speciality Spritzee has? Also dumb question but what does the 'DoT' of Spellbind mean?

You only receive cold silence to your gesture, though you know they got your message behind it. She's just not happy with it at all. 

Morgana smile only grew and her natural(?) luminsence brightened at your words and smooth moves, letting you lead the ensuing performance

It is indeed possible to Register it to you and your Guantlet, though integrating their Special Power will take some take. Fortunately you have all Dawn for that to happen while you get to know your new pink lil perfumer!

Since you didn't specify where or how you Summoned them, I say Bern does what is simpliest yet most convenient and enticing: Right in front of the remaining fruit 'n cream salad that Morgana?/Zephy? !

They blinked and fluttered around a bit, getting used to the new environment and all the smells, but their attention honed in on you the second you made yourself known. The puffball sprite looked upon you with no small amount of awe and wonder, before they let out a melodious and bright *Chirp!* and floated up to nuzzle your Guantleted hand, completely unphazed and unbothered by both it and you. Aw...

A nod is given to your question along with another *Chirp!* , and they did a little twirly bob on the table at the mention of wonderful adventure and FUN abroad ! *Eyes Sparkle* Maybe their new Master will help them find LOTS of pretty shiny gems and Stones, and maybe maybe let them play-admire them! *Flutters Happily* Oh yes oh yay!

All the Moves Spritzee can use (sans Acid) won't cause much of a mess at all, so the both of you are free to experiment as much as you like as you get to know each other in and out. Something the smol guy takes full advantage off, showing off its Moves in as fanciful and darling of a manner as its Queen and former owner! Spellbind is particularly interesting, causing whatever object it targets to be wreathed in a dusty, flower scent glow that seems to wear away at it at a decent pace, sparking intermittently at random with all sorts of elemental energy.

Their After You produces a invigorating burst of pink perfume that gives you a momentary bit of extra pep, almost enough to cast a small Spell even in your diminished state! Sweet Scent nearly causes you to sway and collapse once you get a full whiff of it, and it very nearly leaving you sick too, much to the horrified and apologetic surprise of the cute lil' fellow.

Aromatherapy seemingly does nothing more special than its main effect, but you do feel more relaxed and focused after breathing in the floral air for a bit; maybe its effects would be more potent if you were actually suffering a ailment or similar. You think it serves fine for helping others calm down, however - a valuable niche in of itself.

The rest of its Moves do as well as standard (unless I'm missing something or you are looking for something in particular from them), but they perform them with such ethusiasm its hard not to find their efforts endearing and Special regardless.

A little time spent you discover a particular Trait of theirs : they LOVE gems of all kinds. They coo and fixate on every little piece of jewlery or gem encrusted furniture/artwork in the household, they seem especially Captivated when you told him about Myra and the Fire Stone you used to Evolve her, and you had to scold them once or twice not to take any of it (the household gems) for themselves (much to their dismay at that and displeasing you). They are able to find 'gem' and 'mineral' Items much more reliably than other Pokemon, and get a little more use out of them too! Find/Using/Playing/Receiving with 'gems' also makes them VERY Happy in general.

Their other major Trait you saw was quite obvious: They could produce Magic-infused Perfume! What kind depended on what 'scents' they had on record or what 'Scent' Based Move they used, but with enough time and effort on their part they could produce just about any aroma you wish that could be bottled away for later! New Alchemic/Crafting ingredient source get!

The last thing you note may be of minor concern - they seem to be rather clumsy. Not enough to be a general hinderance or when they are focusing on a task at hand, but when they are not is when they end up getting tripped up by something catching their fancy, something neat/shiny distracting them, or simply getting lost in their own thoughts and energy. This Mon is a bit Misfortunate, have a 0 Fortune Cost but having slightly worse Fortune Rolls for itself when they come up.

That's all on my end, for now - anything else to do is on Bern's shoulders!
