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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(...)She [Ralice] then *Claps* her hands, and the Spector seemed to stir to life, the trance they were in lifting ever so slightly for them to respond to you (That's your cue, @Phantom! Note: Bern doesn't think anything is off about THIS, and just thinks he's having the meeting that was promised with Seddi!).(...)

(OH. Well, now I understand what you meant by 'Seddi will still somehow meet up with you - it'll be 'clear' how this will work if we go down this path', haha! This is such a cool twist of events. Concering Bern not thinking that anything's off about this, I'll indeed treat it like he'd just meet up with the cowboy at his room of the Magi Embassy, as agreep upon)


As soon as the coast is clear (perhaps upon Zephy or Umbrelong nudging him, because Bernhard's absolutely adamant on staying out of the fun, turn his back towards them, and keep eyes closed and ears covered; because, well, privacy. That very likely plays along with zoning out and his mind drifting awayyyyy), he'll turn towards both his mythic birdmouse and that foyx-lizard-creature. "Huh? You two done~ already?? That went...relatively fast? Hummmm.... Well... *embarassed blush kicks in* To each their own I gueeeesssss?? I prefer it lengthy~ and drawn~out~ and.....   .....A N Y W A Y !! *vivid hand gesture of 'enough of that'* Hope you both enjoyed~ it, and had each other's spririt elevated into new heights~~ (･ᴗ<)☆ No, please DO SPARE me the details."

He gets up and dusts off his fine skyish-blue Scimitar robe, a determined look in his face, facing the sky. Then a deep sigh escapes him due to the recent events Lady Luck and Miss Fortune have thrown at him AGAIN; after he hasn't even fully procecessed what happened with Spellbind and these rats yesterday. He check the time."You two ready to return to my room at the local Magi Embassi then? I'm TIRED, though the day is still not done, I fear... As there's a meeting with one individual of our jolly group scheduled indeed. We better don't keep him waiting, now do we... Tea and cookies now sounds just about spledid as well. ...Let's go then." He gives Zephy a fond ruffle of her hair, and that Umbrelong a loooong look, a tiny smile and a nuzzle with his gauntet'ed hand. "You come along as well. I'm pleased to have you among my companions indeed - take good care of your new mate, now will you?~♡"

Off we go to together, leaving this pretty forest behind. To speed things up, we'll either make use of Zephy's flight skills + parkour + Nirix's Agility OR we'll let Umbrelong carry us on their back if they're fine with it. Because damn, the acrobats they displayed earlier were impressive as heck to Bern. What in Arcus' name IS this creature and new companion in the first place? He's very pleases to have it as a magical companion, yes indeed, proud of himself and Zephy, and eager to learn more about it and - perhaps - its origins over time.



I lately drew the scene of Bern being back in his room at the Magi Embassy eventually(!!) and finally(!!) after an eventful day once more as he waits for Seddi to arrive. It's very crude and just a simple sketch, but still - I like visualizations. Link here

To put it into words, he would just sit there comfortably by the table, utterly and completely lost in his own thoughts, a cup of tea in the gauntet'ed hand (darjeeling first flush, his own blend) and cookies to along with it (I like to believe that Zephy regularly makes cookies to go with teatime - because baking is art too!) She happily dips into these, and smol Spritzee is out with their Master to provide comfort and a calming aroma.


Bernhard would almost drop his cup and spill the tea upon Seddi knocking. He doesn't get up to answer it however, and just calmly says "It's open... Do come right in."

He'd offer tea and cookies to Seddi as well. "Fancy a cup?~ It's my own blend, and I dare saying I have perfected it over the years within my own alchemy lab." The cookies are extremely sugary - still both Bernhard and Zephy enjoy them without a care in the world.

For quiiiiiite a long while we say nothing, and Bern takes overly long to enjoy the tea's aroma. His new companion, that Umbrelong, is hidded away however (perhaps already contained within an UltraBall, or just laid to rest in another room). Every now and then, he gives smol Spritzee a caring stroke of their beak with one finger, not giving a damn about what Seddi would think of HIM, Bernhard Samsara, stoic and proud high-ranking Magus and everything, enjoying the company of two smol and overly cute Pokemon.

"Sooo....", he eventually perks up, "Pleased to have you and that you made it. *coughs* You asked to meet up, to converse and talk? ...About what, I wonder? One topic at a time please."

Does Seddi bring Myra along with him @Dragonstrike? How does the kistune react to seeing Bernhard again @Lord Windos? Because he will have a specific reaction to being reunited with his trusty fox.
