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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Upon receiving that text from the cowboy, Bernhard would halt in his steps, stare at the screen with an unreadable expression and almost drop his treasured expensive-looking stylus onto the ground.

The first respond-message gets send within seconds and reads the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second follows a little later, once having gathered our self-composure again. Damn it, Bernhard, I said NO daydreaming nor thinking of her now, it's enough that you'll meet her in person tonight. But regardless she STILL somewhat manages to wiggle her way into his mind and his thoughts, one way or the other... If things continue that way, he'll indeed end up bewitching himself without her direct doing, much to her amusement and his agony. Thankfully(?) Zephy's out in cold so she doesn't have to see her Master and Wielder like this, fighting a battle with himself and feeling bad and sorry for himself here.

Having to take a few deep breaths and sitting down somewhere for a bit, the second message's typed up and sent, it reads the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

... Thank you for the information. Well, fate and fortune has it I'm scheduled to meet with that certain someone tonight, and I shall ask about that Wandering Hurricane. While I do admit the temptation of a literal Philosopher's Stone in my very own hands was real and tangible, I'd prefer for that - yes I need to put emphasis on this - powerful Malefic Monstrum capable of destroying half Bayhama on a whim and devouring us whole to be dealt with without either of us indulging in the threat and danger. I do not doubt you or any of us Chosen Ones is capable and powerful in their own unique way, but I would really prefer to go for the voyage through Sutalör instead of facing such a massive threat like that Wandering Hurricane before the voyage itself has even started.

That, and I do value my life. I doubt my prestigious Mentor would be all too happy having to collect the pieces of me and Muse scattered around the city.

Please do keep me updated indeed shall you desire to get to the core and heart of what occured this morning and what's with that appearant timeskip. Fate has its own ways and means to toy with one, hasn't it... I'm more than happy to accept you as my guest at my room at the Magi Embassy and share findings and insights by a cup of my very own darjeeling and sugar cookies. The question of 'when' remains, however... Definitely not today, and neither tomorrow morning.... ........

Feel all free to let me know when YOU are free however, and I'll try to make amends and time for you. Do forgive me, you see, a man of my position tends to have way too much work than having asked for...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



(I'll respond to the scene with Citrine in a sperate post, as well as state what to do next)

To Bernhard:

Understood.  I'll make some time tomorrow to meet with you.  Tomorrow afternoon, maybe?

And that's the text.  Even shorter and more to the point than usual.

Seddi also sends another message to Professor Sada, Oz (@Spiritmon), Dodger, and Ianai.  As the other people directly involved in this mess, they need to be updated as well.

The situation with the Wandering Hurricane has changed.  Morgana decided she needed to meet with me this morning to tell me she would handle it.  It appears that our services are not required anymore for that specific task.

The message has a slightly better undertone to it.  Seddi's not entirely happy about having to deliver that message.

There's an additional addendum specifically for Oz:

We still need to arrange that battle you wanted.  I do suddenly have a lot more time on my hands now, so scheduling time for a friendly spar should be easier.  Won't be today though.  Leaves is out cold.  Something to do with that skip we experienced, I imagine.
