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

[Lord Windos]

"The world is too wonderful and wide to spend it needlessly around people like you. Speaking loudly and crudely doesn't make you strong, and prolonging my time around such behavior would make me stupid and weak. You have a good day, ma'am."
