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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

He - in this ghastly form, that is - does indeed greet and beckon Myra to his side, where she rightfully belongs, what's a Scimitar without the magical power provided by Pokemon (Spoiler: Weak, and a Nobody + Nothing in Bernhard's book)? He gives her a gentle headpat over the forehead and golden muzzle, "Welcome back....." we whisper fondly, before... He falls to his kneees and wraps his arms around the Ninetails' neck, pulling her into a hug! Very - and I do mean VERY - uncharacteristic and untypical for him indeed, but the ruefulness over what occured at Main Street as well as the joy of being reunited with Myra win this time! "Oh dear, Myra, I'm SO SORRY... For what occured and what you had to witness there... NEVER did I mean to leave you behind, Myra, how could I ever do that. So very sorry... Be mad at me all you want, though please do not hold it against me..."


There's a long pause as he two reoncile, as Bern simply enjoys and appreciates the closeness to one of him most trusted and valued magical companions, that underwent Acrowls' training alongside him, that grew and learned with him all these years, that's by his side ever since having been a tiny Vulpix with a single white tail, until: "Please do tell me how I can and could make up to you. Whatever it may be, I shall make amends to fulfill your wish and desire. When, as well as how is still an unwritten tale - though you shall have my word that I will undergo great efforts to make ends meet."

Back to Seddi! Upon having welcomed his trusty kitsune back in his company (she is allowed to stay out of her ball is she desires to do so), Bernhard kinda has to gather his self-comppsure again for a minute or so, saying nothing. Just drinking more tea (second cup by now, Seddi would receive a "Ah well... I do believe you are missing out, but to each their own indeed...") and staring into the distance, an aura of introspection and pondering around him. Smol Spritzee lands on his right shoulder, giving her Master a nuzzle, which he absentmindedly returns.

"The most obvious thing..." As Bernhard says the following, he taps the table with a gauntet'd finger for emphasis, the voice stern yet calm. "Where. Is. That. Wandering. Hurricane. WHAT, by everything that is holy and mighty, has happened to it? *waves to a window* Take a look at the outdoors. There's no trace of it ever having been there and a massive threat to the city... In fact, the folk is jolly and eager, preparing for tomorrow's festivities. Do not get me wrong please, dear Seddi, my relief over THAT matter being dealt with is wide and far, I muuuuuucccchhhhhh appreciate it indeed... The point of 'HOW' and 'WHY' is what is giving me a literal headache. It was YOU who came to us all with the request of fighting it off - so I, perhaps and mayhaps, am right when I say that it is also YOU who could help me understanding this matter. Now aren't you?~ " *stern look as if to stare right into the cowboy's soul*

There is NO anger in Bernhard's voice, neither in his gestures, Seddi is absolutely NOT blamed or similar. In fact, Bernhard is GRATEFUL that the situation with that Malefic Monstrum is dealt with - he kinda just wants to understand. (The moment Seddi would mention or hint of Morgana, Bern would audibly and heavily choke on his tea, and Spritzee would let out an eager chirp.)

@Dragonstrike:  On your side of the meeting you don't see the Spector Move or change its 'Poltegeisted' Position in the air, but you can hear them Move as if they DID. Couple that with Myra almost jumping out of her skin as she felt her Master hugging her somehow and this makes for a veeeeery weird scene indeed.

The unnerved fox didn't seem to know how to handle her Master like this OR his sudden overwroughtness, but the geniune regret and simply care that was felt did manage to settle her down to being 'okay' with....this. Not that she was okay with this Meeting as a whole - she was still quite rightfully spooked and wary of that creature orchestrating this - but she could accept her Master being here somehow and his apology.

On Bernard's end, 'Myra' leaned into his embrace and gave him a somewhat peeved but ulitimately compassionate nuzzle-cuddle back, 'her' heart calmed just a bit from all the sordid drama from earlier. 'She' also indicated that, if you were so gracious and Willing to tolerate it and her continued MOOD despite your forgiveness, 'she' would like to go to a Saloon to be pampered like the rightful queen 'she' is - these were Myra's not so hidden desires that were communicated by....them.

What was Strange, however, was that you could see the Spritzee just....appear alongside the Spector, fading into view like a reverse Ghost and indeed landing on their shoulder and returning their affection. Which, considering the Spector was still quite....well, still, unlike the aromatic Fae, was veeeery odd indeed. What in the world....?
