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

[Pokekitty2]

At Fortuna's reveal, Murkrow perks up from Sylvia's table and hops out, approaching apprehensively.

Fortuna eyes your raven with a calm, non-domineering composure, rubbing a wing under their chin for a moment before waving your newest friend over. Somewhat excited yet nervous, Murkrow approaches, and soon the two are engaged in a conversation that flies completely over your head - something about the Arcane, manipulating Destiny to your desires, and finding ways to 'Beat the Odds to Rise on Top' ?

Well, they seem to be getting along well, at least!

Good

Sylvia will approach Myra carefully, slowly "touching" her psychic-space, so as not to startle her.
>>Good afternoon, Myra. I'm Sylvia. I just wanted to say hello - you're quite beautiful.
If Myra is open to it, Sylvia will also offer a game she used to play with her partner Vulpix - each takes turns projecting a psychic image with a tidbit about themselves hidden in it, and the other must explore or inspect the projection and find it.

Despite your best efforts Myra indeed does startle, jumping up and whirling around with a snarl. Intruder, intruder!

Then, what you said processes and they settle down slightly, their fur raised and 'favoring' you with a dour look.

'"....Thank you. But do not use Telepathy on me again. Only my Master and Teammates have permission to touch upon my Mind and Bond."

Her tone is formal, somewhat imperialistic, and none too slightly irritated and defensive. They were still being polite, but it was clear they viewed your introduction rather poorly.

Your offer of a game is rejected flatly - Myra refuses to allow anyone to see anything about themselves without careful screening on her part and with permission from her Master, and she greatly disapproves of the use of 'mental magics and means' in pretty much EVERYTHING aside from combat (and only to deal Damage). Yeouch.

Sylvia immediately dips into a deep bow upon Myra's spinning about, both a friendly and submissive stance. She only rises, and slowly, when Myra speaks.

"My deepest apologies. I understand."
Sylvia retracts her psychic powers, curling them into herself to avoid touching Myra again.

Rejection:
"Of course. Sorry to bother you."
Sylvia will release her power just enough to get across her feelings of apology, respect, and admiration as she retreats. Not projected - simply floated. If Myra wants to pick up on them, great - if not, no harm no foul.

Cool! We'll take the book with us for Foxy Delights!

Sylvia will certainly take Tiffany up on that offer. Helping out a fellow Vee? Yes please!
On that note:
Sylvia enters the room with a friendly tail wave and a preemptive, "Good evening."

You're lead to a room that is painted warm autumn colors, plush brown carpeting, and chic furniture arranged tastefully around a tea table, complete with a fresh brew pot of jasmine. Setting on a red-cushioned pedestal was a luxurious looking Flareon, their coat utterly immaculate (and making your inner Sylveon/Flareon jealous!) and their form the very peek of fitness. Together with their soft eyes and the Gentle aura the suffused them it made this fiery snuggle buddy one inviting presense!

....Where it not for the fretful look about them, starting down their paws and muttering something utter their breath, a distinct lack of confidence and an overabundance of anxiety plain to see AND feel.

"*Mutter* Got to do right, got to do this right....! Just need to greet the customer, invite them to pet me, and everything should flow smoothly...! *Frowns* Unless they're too nervous to open up first? Then what do I do? Beg for pets, trill for attention, lead them to a right conclusion? What to do, what to do....oh I'm SO going to mess this up....!"

Tiffany was not kidding about this guy's worrywort nature. Oh dear...

"Good afternoon."
Sylvia enters, setting the book on the edge of the tea table and turning to look fully  at the Flareon with a posture of greeting.
If at all possible, she'll try to 'flatten' her Psychic noise as a way to project calmness - hopefully it helps him.
