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

[Lord Windos]

 Kupo Koffee Kudos!

The Koffee Shop is theme around Eevees, Fennikens, Zoroa, Nickits, Vulpixes, and several other fluffy anf foxy Mons or fox adjacent (such as Furret or Sneasils), as well as elephants, strangely enough. Outside their is a the sign with several of the foxes pictures as well as their paw prints, and has a outdoor area open to the weather with plush seating underneath theme umbrellas. Inside, it's a open-floor cafe with plenty of individual and decadently soft couches and armchairs to sink yourself right into, as well as some 'pit' style circular counchs around tables. In the back were several modestly sized kennels and softly carpeted stretches and furniture hosting about every kind of Fox mon you could think of that was open to the public to interact and play, pet, and Perform with them to their heart's content. You could also see a hallway extend deep inside the building and some stairs leading up to a 2nd Floor, each offering private and/or more Elite services, which include being served by professionally trained Fox Pokemon Staff that know how to put on a good show or serve as a comforting and soothingly furry shoulder when you needed it. Last but certainly not least they had virtually every kind of coffee under the sun, and knew almost every recipe you could think of to enjoy it and with it!

All in all, this was a fox lover's paradise beyond keen and the perfect spot to kick back, relax, and enjoy all that is fluffy kitsune.

Right now the shop is nearly about ready to close, but they're still a few things you could do while waiting on Bern or anyone else:

1. Foxy Raffle! (Unlimited Use!)
Place anywhere at and above $1000 Poke bid to enter into a raffle to receive Rare Fox/Elephant-themed Items, Pokeballs, and Apparel! Grand prize is a random Pure Breed Fox/Elephant Mon with Great Egg Moves and Holding either an Amulet Coin or Lucky Egg (XP and Poke Multipliers, adds + 1 Fortune to a Pokemon that is holding it)! For every $1000 Poke you offer, you get one set of ()() and a 1D20 Dice - the former determines Overall Rarity and Category of Prizing Bracket, while the later determines Individual Quality. You can get up to 2 different 'Wins' from the raffle; if you put in more than 2 wins worth of Poke then your winnings are picked from the best possible results from your overall set of Rolls.

2. Fox Nook! (1x Use)
A small library tucked away into the corner of the store, containing all sorts of books, mainly about foxes/elephants or foxed/elephant-related Lore and Knowledge. Random INS + Knowledge + Alert to find a Book Topic you are looking for, which you can then check out for a few of $500 Poke per day. Various Books can give Buffs to various things, like Specialties, care, Searching, etc.. , or they can give a XP and/or Tutor Successes to you and your Mons for finishing reading them. Rarer Book = Generally Better/More Exciting Results!

3. Foxy Delights! (1x Use)
You can rent one of the 'Elite' Rooms to be catered to by your Final Stage Fox or Elephant Evo of your choice, which in effect grants your Party increased Happiness and Loyalty as well as help bolstering Will Recovery and having an outsider willing to listen to your woes and bounce ideas off of. You also can request Battles from the Foxes or them to conduct various Rituals to confer Buffs/Debuffs/Fortune/Bad Luck/etc. to you or anyone you think of, but these 'add-on' options can get quite pricey.

4. Foxy Rescue! (1X Use)
Adopt a Fox or Elephant Mon for a exuberant fee, which ranges based on species, lineage, Rarity, and overall power and 'uniqueness' . Shinnies of Foxes/Elephants ARE available, and they do accept and take in Fox and Fox Adjacent Mon, giving various Items and Poke rewards in exchange for 'saving and brining fluffiness to where it can thrive!' . This is also where you can play and Perform with the Foxes, which acts as a lesser Battle or Training option for you and your Mons.

5. Foxy Koffee and Cuisine! (3X Use)
What it says on the tin! Foxyphant Koffee costs $250 Poke Base, and you can add various Berries, Milk, Honey, and other stuff to flavor it and confer Effects to you and/or your Mons! They also offer specialty blends of the Day, which often confer more 'unique' boons on the foody.

Right now they are only serving one Specialty Koffee: Kitpha Luwak. Costs a whopping $1500 Poke per cup, but grants a - 1 Fortune Bonus to you the current Encounter and the Encounter after the one you drink it in, grants + 1 to two Skills of your choice for the current/next Encounter, and restores 1 Will for you and your entire team (once per Day) in addition to promoting greater Will/Happiness/Loyalty between you and the entire party for this/the next Encounter. Also increases Resistance to Poison too, just for a little added benefit!

You can also attempt to find a Trainer to fight here, but at this time of Day, the store near closing, and after the BLOODY AND FIREY CRIME bringing down the mood....not good odds for picking a fight here, see. 

While in the Store you can pick any one and multiple different kinds of these Options (Like taking them ALL, for example, or only going for the Koffee and Raffle), and how many based on the 'Total Uses' it has for each individual PC.

Spoiler

There isn't a Station nearby, but you DO find a cop and a few volunteer Trainers in short order and vent about your nearly dire fate at the hands of these 'BBs' and their Boss. Grim yet empathetic, a escort formed up around you to the Center to treat your Wounds, while several people in groups of 3 or more went out to hunt down these bastards and spread the word of the sharp and drastic increase of violence of this gang. At the rate they're going the police are going to crack down on them like a ton of brick sooner than later - and then the next stage of the game is started // Gang War. 

You dearly hope you are not involved any further.

Once your Wounds are treated, you are escorted to the café, with a single officer stationed outside and several more now tightly patrolling the street to keep that situation IN control and those horrible thugs OUT.

The Options for what to do here are the same as started earlier, though for the moment you opt to wait outside and near the cop for Bern before you venture in further...

Oz was still very startled by everything that happen to her. But at least she could relax a bit. She dont know if Bernard will still come for this meeting, but right now, she will be more busy by relaxing and enjoying a good time after all the things she passed though. She meet the person taking care of the shop, look at the options available and then tell him what she wants:

"I would like to have Foxy Koffee cuisine please for me and my three Pokemon. One with honey for my Hatterene since she likes sweet drinks, one a bit spicy for my Mismagius, and one with good berries for my Honckrow. For me, one who can calmdown my nerves please. I had a rough day."

She take a look in the option and then said. "I would like to see what Foxy Rescues choices you have a available please. And can you explain what that Foxy Raffle is please? I thinking in take maybe."

Regardless of the things to do, Oz decided to enjoy a time with her sisters, to enjoy a moment of peace after everything they went though.

As you enter into the coffee shop proper you're greeted by a long, long black-haired waitress, dressed in a tan felt apron, blue jeans, sandals,  and a red bandana tied around her head. She had a mole on the lower left side of her mouth and bright blue eyes. She gave you a smile and bowed, the very picture perfect definition of a warm, inviting hostess.

"Welcome to Koffee Kupos Kudos, mam! I'm Tiffany, and am more than delighted to assist you this evening!"

She gets a good long looks at you and can immediately tell you were....stressed, to say the least, a small frown tugging at her lips as she placed a hand to her heart before reaching out and place a heavy but comforting hand on your shoulder.

"Oh, you poor dear....you look like you've had a rough day. Don't worry, everyone will take good care of you here ~ "

Once you placed your order she hopped right to it, but before that she helpfully described the few Foxy Rescues still remaining at the shop, bringing out a list and showing them off with flourish, cheer, and a great deal of enthusiasm .

" Not quite matching our theme here, but we took them in from a former employee that....sadly has passed.

If you can get get past that, though, they're just happy to...be there for you.

While you were deliberating Tiffany returned with your drinks - and ended up tripping! Thankfully your sister Hecate - already out and rubbing your shoulder in an effort to settle your nerves more - was able to use their telekinetic prowess to save them a painful fall and ruined coffee!

...Except yours, your cup escaping your sis' grasp, flying over to knock into your chest and spilling HOT coffee all over you!

Damage: (4)(6)(1) You take 2 Damage!
(6)(3) You also get Burned too! Ouch ouch OUCH!  

"Oh good heavens! I'm so, SO sorry! Here, I'll get you another cup quickly, and some Berries too!"

Mortified, the hostess was quick to get you another cup, being careful not to spill it on you this time, as well as a Rawst and 2 Orans. You grimace as you choked down the Berries, them being quite dry and stale, and Tiffany gives you another look of apology.

"Eh he he...most of the Berries used here are dried or processed into flavorful extracts or ingredients ASAP. We only reserve a few in their natural form for emergencies, and that leads to them sitting around for awhile. *Hangs head* Sorry...

After that mishap was done, you and you Mons enjoyed your coffee! It was smiles all around as they drank theirs, with Persaphone shivering in delight at the masterful combo of spice and bitterness of her drink. Yours was good too, but it was the exact opposite of relaxing - it left you more energized, Alert, and keyed up than ever! + 1 Will, and + 1 Alert for this and the next Encounter! Looking at the cup itself, you noticed they got you a coffee made with Chesto and Leppa Berry Concentrate. Quite delicious, but those Berries is practically the anthesis of relaxation, considering one cures Sleep and the other is commonly used to bolster reserves well past the point of Exhaustion. Maybe they thought you needed more pep in your step to get over your funk...?

Lastly, concerning the Raffle, Tiffany clapped her hands and smiled brighter than ever! 

"Sure! You place 'bids' of $1000 Poke into the Raffle, and we pull the results every Morning and Evening (2 Times a Day)! You can put as many 'bids' as you want, though you may only receive two prizes from the Day's Raffle - randomized everyday and kept secret, so that it's a big fun surprise for everyone! That, and not having people try to game the system - that takes ALL the fun out the game, you know! Anyway, if you get more than 2 winning results, we give you the best ones! Grand Prize each Day is a one of our Pure Breed of adorable fox or elephants that holds either an Amulet or Egg!"

Tiffany looks over you, still looking a bit apologetic and worried about you, before snapping their fingers!

"*Snaps!* For you, though, I think we can let you have a ONE Free Raffle 'bid' ! *Gentle Smile* You look like something got you real good.... *Intense Smile!* so maybe a lil' gambling and Lady Luck can help lift your spirits! It certainly does for me - uh, forget I said that, eh he! *Ahem* So, what do you say, mam?"

If you want to do the Raffle, you get 1 Free Bid, but you can also add more than just it (For example, 1 Free and 3 Paid [$1000 for each paid, for $3k Poke spent in Total]) . Wow!
