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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

"Sorry, I can see that took a lot out of you. But I don't have any restoratives to spare that could help." (Vern has a Berry that would probably help, but he's saving it.) "At this point, so many of the questions raised by my journey are so vague that I can tell what I should be asking about them. So I won't trouble you with them, unless maybe I find out more first. Will you be around long? If not, where are you going next? Maybe we could exchange numbers?"

"I've heard of tarot readers and such who can do a 'general' reading on a person who lacks specific questions. Is that your style?"

When the encounter is over: "I appreciate the crystal ball reading, thank you for opening your mind to the Universe on my behalf. I know it takes a lot even out of people who aren't connected to psychic powers." (true from my IRL experience)
Vern looks around for a jar or hat to put a modest tip into. ($200)

As usual, Vernon texts the party about this encounter, mentioning to Oz that their death had big ripples in the second world. He tells them if they visit the fortune teller that they should try to bring a Will restorative.

As he's leaving, he turns back suddenly. "Oh. One more thing. If anyone FUCKS with you for being Creshirean, call me. My friends and I will get there in a hurry to show any bastards what we think of bigots."

The man let's out sigh and rubs their eyes before nodding, pulling out his own phone to electronically share his Number.

"Nothing to apologize for. Seeing what Fate has in store for anyone can be quite taxing. More so for Elevated Ones such as yourself, but still it is something I have and will continue to grow used to. I plan to stay the duration of the Festival - 3 Days, at least, no more no less."

Your curiosity gets a chuckle out of the pointy nosed mystic.

"Somewhat akin to that, yes. Usually I simply have to Look at a person or Pokemon to get a good idea of what they Wish to See of their Fate. From there sometimes I have them touch my Crystal Ball to view what they Bring Forth, other times I hold their hand and Peer Within, etc etc..

"With individuals like you and your Companions, though, a more....direct line of Sight is best. Much as you are Lodestones and Beacons of Destiny and Fate, so to does your Brilliance blind and obscure much about you without Gazing Far. Doing that is most taxing and carries it own risks, as you have Seen. *Smiles* Still, I do not mind. Helping people Find their Way is my life's calling, and helping Ones like you, who can do so many, many Great Things....it is humbling, yet a most wholesome honor."

Their was no Tip Jar, though he does accept your Payment if you insist.

Your own gratitude and sympathy causes them to blink in surprise, which turns to goggling when you vehemently swear to defend him and his practice. Soon, though, a warm and touched smile graced his features, making him appear much more like the youngster he once was.

"Thank you, Wandering One. I ask you to forgive their scorn, however. My....people have not been kind to them, and forgiveness is something that takes Time and Connection. I do not blame them for their Beliefs - not when most of the rest of the World has continued to prove them True. All we can do Good Work, and hope that One Day it will yield open hands. Farewell. May your Bonds carry you long and Far, and your own Sight be clear and Wide."
