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

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

Before we get to the Adoption Picks, let's see what Fortune has in store for you, eh?

*~*~*~*~*

*The Following Scene Happens After The Adoption of Any Mon and Getting to Know Fafurr*

"....And the Results are in, everyone! *Pulls out the Tickets, and Sorts them Out* Let's see who Lady Luck and Miss Fortune Favored this Evening? First up - *Gasps!* And somebody scored the  The [[ J A C K  P O T ]] ?! And It's none other than....Oz!!! Our newest friend here at Koffee Kupos Kudos!!! Come on down and claim your Prize!!!"

Several of the other patrons groaned at first, saddened and frustrated that it was not them that won it BIG tonight, but the moment you hurried out of your little corner, all bedraggled but full of excitement, and they caught sight of you....they could help but clap along and cheer! They may have wanted to win, but these fox and elphant-ficonados have big hearts and good Empathy to see that you needed it much more than they.

Besides, their was always next time, and being spoil sports isn't in these fluffy lover books. Enjoy life and it's up and downs, I say!

As you reached the small stage holding the Raffle Tiffany is the one to present you with the Grand Prize - a Black Wooden Box!

"*Grins* You lucky fox you! Knew you needed a Pick Up, and I guess so did Fate too! Enjoy, sugar!"

You took the box in hand and slowly opened it, face full of eager anticipation....!

....And saw what appeared to be Rocky Spiral of sorts.

Confused, you took it out for a closer look, and suddenly the patron were snickering at it. Seeing your perplexed expression is what drove them into full on laughter, some of them pounding the table and shaking their heads in pure mirth. Even Tiffany was giggling, covering a sharp looking smile with one hand.

Taking a closer look at what you won in better light....you recognize what it was.

This was a Fossil.

Specifically, a Corpolite Fossil.

Or to put it in layman terms, a Poop Rock. No doubt from an Fox or Elephant of sorts.

You nearly dropped it like a stinkin hot rock, but you resisted - these are actually really rare to find, especially in such size and condition! Perhaps a collector would like to have it....or maybe it contains enough DNA to clone something from it. Who knows?

"....Pffft! Hahaha! Gotcha! Ol' Zonkin First Routine never gets old, kei kei kei!"

Just as you were about to probably react in either a poor manner - or perhaps join right in with the joke too - you are stopped as Tiffany reached forward and shook your hand.

...And you felt her slip something into it.

"....And now for the real Grand Prize."

Looking down at your hand, you find a Luxury Ball in it. Pulling the up the holographic display....

...You find yourself in the possession of a Shiny Zoroa. No, not just any Zoroa, but a Ancient.

Some might say....a throwback from Old Times.

Shiny H-Zoroa Obtained.

Tiffany gives you a closed eye smile, this was warm and friendly

"Truly enjoy it, little wiccan one. *Whispers* I don't just let anyone have one of my daughters, after all."

The woman's smile turns sly and toothy as she whispers the second part - and briefly, you saw her face flicker.

Flickered into something more....vulpine.

Before you could react she raised your arm into the air, show casing the Grand Prize, and once again the crowd cheered, no, roared their jubilation, the mood all the brighter for it being the punchline to a great joke! 

By the time you turned to face Tiffany, she was already gone, sliding away into the crowd and mingling with it until she...faded away. 

....When you checked your wallet later, you also found out she overcharged you for your Drinks, the bill going up to $2000 Poke instead of the $1000 for 4 Drinks ($250 each). Maybe that was why she gave you the 'Free' Raffle Ticket.

You just got bamboozle...in the best way possible. Uh.....

*~*~*~*~*

If you decide to go for Adopting Dite, that's another Fox for the tally! 

As for Mesa...

They were in a small carved out 'cave' - more like a wooden cube that was hollowed out for this purpose - curled up and away from the rest of the other foxy and elephantine critters. If it were for them shifting around to look at you, the first thought you'd have was that they were sleeping. 

Seeing the quiet, gloomy air of loss around them, though, you knew they were sulking.

You reach out, trying to begin on a right foot with the snow dragon...

Diplomacy Roll
INS (4) + Contest (2) + Empath (2) - 2 (Smell Like Magic and Fairies) = 6D6 Dice
(1)(5)(2)(2)(3)(2)

Meza hissed, bristling at the sight and smell of someone so...arcane and roughed up, slinking back furthing into her 'cave' until you could only see the tip of her horns and the shiny points of her teeth.

Yeah...not a good first impression there. Better luck elsewhere, unless you got a plan to overcome the odds.

Oz was simply surprise in see such marvelous prizes! At first, Oz did indeed wince with the smell, but when she reconize it was a fossil Pokemon, her face turned into pure happiness! And Oz almost faint in shock in see such rare Pokemon. Not only a shiny Pokemon, but a hisuan Zorua! She only heard stories about that Pokemon, and see one in front of her. "Wait, daughter? You are a-" Before she could ask, the woman simply disapear. Oz looks confuse at her sisters, and tell them. "Guess today we get two new members in our team I guess. Might need your help Persephone to teach this new ghost. Will need to give this one a new name though..." Even with the overcharged bill, she still happy for the results of such amazing prizes she get. Guess luck finally begin to change for the better today huh...

After adopt Dite (gonna work later in the post scene of the meeting with H-Zorua and Dite) Oz, go to the cavern meet the Meza. The...meeting was not the best, but Oz imagine it would go that way. Oz decided not to approach much to not make the Dragon even more angry. She sigh a bit and then sit in the ground, looking at the direction of Meza.

"No need to get angry. I will not approach more than you want. I...just came here to have a conversation. Heart to heart if you want. Since...you know...Even if you prefer to be alone, its...not always the best thing. I say that for personal experience."

Oz chuckle a bit, noticing the Dragon problably smelling her. "You notice huh? *Sigh* Sometimes, I wish...I dont have this lineage. I feel it brings more problems them blessings in my life. Always needed to be strong an carry the lineage of my family."

"...But...I prefer to go other path. Be a life saver. Save everyone lifes...Kinda be...well...a hero I guess." Oz scratch the back of her head. "I know...this sound very corny...And it is I guess. But...I was inspire by the great heroes of the past. Who fight impossible odds, to make a change in the world. IN BE the change. Black Flame Heart. Nathan the great savior. And even...Shiva the faerie. And so so many others. I wanted to be a change of the world too. Not because of...what I am...But because of my own merits...Thats why I decided to be a medic. To save as many lives I can."

Oz than sulk a bit. "My parents...didnt like one bit. They didnt like me getting into college to become a medic. I almost get a slap from my mom...They wanted me to follow in their footsteps. It took a lot of convincing and my grandparents help to convince them...But...even in home I felt alone. The only company was my sisters...Persephone, Fortuna and..."

Oz eyes begin to shred tears. "Glinda...My partner. My best friend. The other half of my soul. She...She always stay in my side. She helped me when I was in my worse...And heal the wounds in my heart. She was...my everything."

Now Oz really begin to cry. "I had friends...but...they all died. I try to save them...but...They are died in front of me. And I couldnt do anything to help them. Lucy...Sindara...Poor Romero...Oh poor Romero. They...trust on me, and I fail them. And when I was about to get killed...Glinda. Oh Glinda..." She cried a lot, tears of the most pure suffering and angsty. "She...she sacrificed her life. She gave her life to save me. The pain...never go away. It’s still...there. Like a scar who refused to be healed, not matter how much you try."

Oz then turn her head, still in tears but trying to be strong through a smile. "But...if you feel pain, if you miss it, that means the love still there. Yes, feel loss is...paintful. Very very paintful. There might be days where the pain is...excruciating. That might tear your heart appart. Heck, it might even tempt to...do things you will regret. But...the pain in the heart is also a meaning. To value what you still have: The life to love the world again. To love again. To care again. And to always cherish all the moments you had with that person. So when the time comes, when you again meet that important person in the other side, she asks you:"

"Did you had a good life?"

"And then answer: Yes. I had a good life. A life I can be proud of. A life with dignity. A life when that person can be proud of you. Because...well...I think even now, Glinda is watching over me, whatever the place she is...And I pretty sure your friend is also watching over you, and they would not like to see you dwell in suffer alone. So...if you want, if you so much desire, I will share the pain with you now as your friend. If you wanna talk. I promise to come to you here everyday I can, and share that pain with you. For them...And for us."

Action: Even if Oz cannot adopt Meza, she refused to let them this poor soul suffer alone. She know what loss can do to a person...and she dont want another one to suffer that alone.
