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

[Lord Windos]

FLASHBACK TO THE PREVIOUS DAY

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




What he also definitely remembers is his mind drifting off and beginning to wander; perhaps from the sensory deprivation, perhaps because he was left all along with his thoughts and vivid mind, perhaps from being adamant on blocking out anything that's been happening around him. Was that some sort of out-of-body-experience, an astral journey, another aftermath from that joyful curse? The doing of whatever or whoever also caused that timeskip from before? WERE these events even connected? So many questions, so many wild and arcane things happening lately... Maybe he was indeed going crazy now, maybe he was just overworked, maybe he was just exhausted to his very soul. Or both. Yesyes, definitely both, he desperately needs rest, a long rest...

Smol Spritzee on his shoulder, dozzing off right there, receives a tiny nuzzle. That didn't help finding any answers though, but at least it provided some reassurance.

Oh right, and how Bernhard's trusted Mythic and that Lox were still going at it (NO, he did NOT take a look to check, or else he'd need a few gallons of eyebleach) - he actually didn't mind, we'll give them as muuuuuch time as they want or need! After all, Bern himself likes it lengthy~ and tenderly~ and utterly~romantical~~ and.... I should shut up now, shouldn't I.



Before we'll finally(!) return to our room at the Magi Embassi, we'll turn towards the tuckered out Umbrelong-Fox-Lizard creature again - about time we register 'em to a Pokeball, yay!~ Yes a Pokeball indeed, going to save the UlltraBalls for less willing catches. "Welcome abroad, dear...whatever you are. *stares*You do remind me of two specific Pokemon, so I'm just going to call you an Umbrelong for now. You also deserve a name... ...........   . . . . . . . . . . 'Equinox'. Or 'Nox', for short. Sounds good? Yes? That's great indeed~" (Feeling like an edgelord now, with having two Pokemon whose nickname ends with an x. With Umbrelong's gender being 'yes' and 'leaning into feminine', I'll follow your lead and address 'em with 'she' and 'they' until it bites Bernhard for doing so)

Brief flashback!

Seddi is not amused by Ralice's shenanigans, and gives Myra a thankful tip of his hat for her intervention.  He could have summoned Ceruledge, of course, but perhaps it was better that the Ninetales did the threatening this time.

The cowboy's still got some time (didn't use every encounter available), so Bernhard would find Seddi waiting at the Magi Embassy to deliver the beloved Ninetales back to their partner personally.  "Twas a pleasure to meet ya, Myra.  Bernhard, we need to talk 'bout what just happened.  Probably not now though.  Gettin' late, and I imagine you need some time after...whatever that was."

Bernhard almost jumps back and casts a maximally defensive spell upon meeting Seddi there at his room. He needs to catch his breath for a bit and collecting himself first and foremost! "Hmm, well... Whatever it WAS , it felt utterly real and most vivid. My sincere gratutude though for escorting my trusted Ninetails back to me, I'll rememeber that favour of yours." Myra receives a gentle headpat from her beloved Master.~

From what little you know about Curses and Sympathetic Links, perhaps you being so Zoned Out and Joyfully Cursed allowed this....Ralice to pull you out into that Meeting, so to speak. You're fairly confidant that it won't happen again, though, now that you're Aware and soon to be UnCursed....or at least you hope so.

The fact Spritze was active with you during that 'Meeting' was interesting in of itself, though, since none of your other Partners on you joined it...

...Your Partner and the Umbrelong are going to be at it for a looong time, so to skip ahead: once the volpizard rouses from their blissful activity they easily acquiesce to being Caught in a Poke Ball! They/she doesn't seem to care what you call it/her, though they look curiously at your slight hesitance.

Later, when you reunited with your fluffy vixen you'll almost bowled over as she leaps up like a cat and hugs you (front legs over your shoulders as she dangles off you, nuzzling your face), letting out relieved and worried yips. Master, you're OKAY! I'm so so sorry for all the trouble and not being THERE for you! Please forgive meeeee!

Not the most dignified scene, but considering what you all went through...maybe you could let it go and pretend to ignore it for the sake of Face?

(Will get to your Next Post ASAP!)
