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

[Lord Windos]

Seddi nods, a thoughtful expression on his face.  Fear.  Such a motivating factor.  Fear of what?  That's the real question.

Though Morgana might have just answered the question for him already, given her last batch of statements.

"That, I can only speculate on.  Though if I were to take a wild guess, it could be a common reason between basically all politicians: their odds of re-election and maintaining their power.  As I said, they really don't want anything ruining the upcoming festival.  Biggest event of the year overshadowed by inadequate forces getting slaughtered by a god-like critter, the very people they're celebrating getting decimated before they could be honored, or sitting idly by and letting a living hurricane cancel the festivities altogether?  None are a good outlook for someone trying to claw back or maintain a positive approval rating.  Doubly so if they couldn't hide anything because they relied on a close ally that the people are familiar with and trust.  It's no secret that if a band of heroes were to assemble by their own accord (for all appearances) and fail to take down the beastie, the suits would have had a scapegoat to blame for the city being targeted by that critter, thus preserving their political images.

"I could be entirely wrong about that, of course.  I've seen men do worse to maintain power though.  At their most intense, politics aren't much different from a turf war, after all.  Underhanded politics to save their own skins wouldn't surprise me in the slightest."

"Hmm....an apt answers, but one lacking vision - or is it too Scope in, per say? Not untrue, nor fore incorrect. Just....imprecise. Grazed, pointedly missed. Bigger, wider, fuller: just what are the targets of this show-showering-scene these lowly lapdogs are trying to stage? What made those hapless fools so, so desperate to skulk so deep, to save such pale face? Who know - well, they know, and oh it bequeaths them a world of woe, he he he he....!"

The Fairy Queen of Unova, amused as she was, let out a sigh and motioned to you, impatient\ce not quite draped about her but close.

"Now enough, tarry your queries here. Humor you, humored this Lady those comedians' farce, we have short and long this dreary day. Satisfy and slacked your curiosity, have or have not, now 'tis time to indulge the Lady her own.'

She reaches out to you, as gesture beckoning as it was welcoming.

"Once asked, now twice spoken: May you share your name with me, here and dear, my fellow peer?"
