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

[Lord Windos]

Seddi doesn't flinch or miss a beat.  He may not have known exactly how Kusanagi was going to react, but this wasn't far from what he was expecting.  And fortunately for her, explaining why he has that boa was exactly what he was going to do anyways.

"Had a little accident during a chance encounter with Morgana almost immediately after I arrived here.  I requested she give me this as part of her apology.  She knows I have Leaves.  And she knows what I saw and experienced when we made contact, however briefly.  Call it twisted if you will, but she almost seemed to find giving her accessory to me amusing. I do still think the young colt is better off in hands that aren't hers, knowing what she did to him.  That isn't going to be a moment I soon forget.  Especially since it nearly killed me."

He'll glance at his trio of pokemon, knowing exactly what they'll do if any harm comes to him.  "Now, if you'd kindly lower your blade.  Nobody here needs to be enemies."

And he highly doubts that Kusanagi would want to meet an unceremonious end here.

(5)(6)(5) Well now!

"....Damn the Trio. Damn that witch. Damn those demons. Damn them all."

Kusanagi spits to the side, a terrible scowl now in place, so severe that it stretched and distorted her scars. 

"....Damn that brat for dying. Always suspected he stayed and fought until the bitter, instead of running like he was supposed to. Now I got proof. Heh....well, it's not like I'm any better now. Not. At. All."

She lets out a long, horrible laugh, so filled with bitterness that you almost miss the Pain underlying it. Your mistress of the flames and dagger fish tensed further, looking about ready to disregard Leaves and jump right in, but again your Verdant Sword held them off, stamping a Foot and firmly shaking her head. 

"....Feh."

The old swordswoman withdrew her blade, her face becoming unreadable as she loomed over you like a judge executing their verdict.

"....The remnants of the brat. The 'lineage' of the bitch. And my technique from the bastard. *Grim Chuckles* All's left is the brute, and you'd have the full set on your hands. Ha....and here I thought Fate had forsaken me long ago. No, that sorry cunt has just been Biding her time until she could send you my way. A young novice of a Master of Swords, up to his own neck in woe. Two paths, different yet similar, made One, True and Heart. Heh...just like in the old tales. Hilarious. 

"....I'm done. Don't bother me until it's time for that Fight you promised."

Without another word she Recalled herself, flicking the button on her Ball and disengaging entirely. Cerluedge and Velzuna quickly settled down, and with a nod from Iron Leaves they hurried past her to crowd around you, checking to see if you're alright. Your fishie even goes so far as to offer some of its Fillets to cheer you up, while your spectral wraith glowered angrily at the sheer gall of that old coot. Threatening their Master right in front of them all, after they made an effort to be nice? Unforgivable. If they pull that shit again she'll cleave through them and Curse their immortal soul, binding it to the earth so it may never know rest....!

The only one that seemed entirely unbothered by the events were your Paradox Sword, who observed things quietly before looking off to the side, a eyes filled with contemplation. About what, you don't know - their is plenty to dwell on in this little near deadly exchange.

All's well that ends well?
