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

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.

Oz did check her phone and see Seddi message. She though for a few seconds and then send her message. 

Heya Seddi! Sorry in not sending a message sooner. I was busy these last days. Working hard to adopt a certain pokemon for adoption. I...gladly we do not need to handle that disaster so soon. This makes me a bit more relief. Although part me wish we didn't had to rely on Morgana help.

Sure thing Seddi! Still need to train some new Pokemon who arrive on my team who need to strech their legs too. Things might also been interesting since I working to get another member to my team, so we might make it possible a 6x6 combat! Just ask you to be a little patience since the new members still need to get some experience before facing you. Against a Ace trainer such as yours a girl needs to be prepared right? Don't want to embarassed myself in the coming battle! Also, did you have any news from a Espeon called Sylvia? She does mentioned your name and wanted to learn more about her and if she have any method of contact her.

Taking this opportunity, Oz decided to send a message to Bernard/@PhantomUnderYourDesk. She still a little wary about him, but their last interaction, she feels a little more...open with him.

Good afternoon Mr Samsara! How you doing? I...I just want to thank you for yesterday conversation. It did help a lot. I also wanted to talk with you later if possible. I get some essence after going to the Institute and...well...got 4 vials of it, and wanted to give you something since it was not possible to convince Fortuna in give any of her feathers. Are you interested on it Sir?

Wanted to learn more about her other companions she decided to send a message to Vernon/@Iron.

Hey Vernon! Oz here! Sorry if we didn't talk much in these last days. They been really difficult quite a while. Since we gonna travel together for a while, I wanted to know you a little better. If you feel comfortable of course, I don't want to be a burden. How you have been these last days?

And another message send to Akumu/@Redstone to see how his doing since he was also a target from Jonh gang (and because they didnt get a lot interactions in the past, and could be good to Oz understand more of her teamates).

Akamu heya! Oz here! Wanted to ask you if you are okay and if you had any problems with that gang again. And see if you are okay too. We didnt had enough time to chat between us, and since we gonna travel together for a while, I wanted to...you know...chat a little maybe? How you been doing these last days?
