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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

*Rolls* ...You have not managed to Tempt the Fates. Perhaps they're giving you a break after yesterday's show and dance.

(I have a very bad and wrong feel about THAT roll. Should Bern better be afraid...? Because I surely am!)


Onto the City Hall Scene indeeeeed !~

Oh dear heavens and sweet Arceus, if Bernhard wouldn't be so calm, collected and kuudere, he would quite likely faint of stage fright right now and right there on the spot (which would be a funny way in and of itself to kick off the Festival, actually). I take Bernhard HAS held some speeches in his life already given his high rank, plus him actually speaking up during meetings of the Scimitar Council earns him appreciated looks for what little but meaningful things he contributes - but never before has been THAT much in the spotlight. He remains calm and collected there, playing it cool.

He genuinely appreciates the wide acceptance and the opportunity though - because, well, he's so utterly and completely weak~ towards sweet, oh-so-sweet  f l a t t e r y~☆. He would literally melt away and become a puddle of goo if you push it too hard with the honey words! (happened before)


Okay, now then !~

What Bern will do first, is deeply bow to the crowd, several times even, both to greet them and to thank them for him literally flying to the podium, lol. Clever and stylish way to start things of.

*tapping microphone, clearing throat* "Weeeellll... It is of an utmost pleasure~ on my end to have been given to opportunity to greet y'all on this GRAND day. It is delightful that so many of you have responded well to the invitation of an Opening at this very and fine City Hall *waves and gestures around* and come together on this this fine day today.

Perhaps, mayhaps, you may be aware that I am no man of many words. Speech is silver, silence is golden; as the old saying goes - though that shall definitely not hinder myself on giving you my sincere and personal Thank YOU and words of gratitude.

...Do I over hear you asking 'Gratitude, what for, Mr. Samsara?' ...Well, do you need a reason to be grateful?~ 'Not really', is the answer - Pretty sure EVERY! SINGLE! ONE! OF! YOU! can name one thing they are gratful for, if they think about it well and hard enough. The more, the better for you!~

.....I certainly can name several things I am grateful for. To each Settler of you, whether you have crossed paths with one of my people, the Scimitars - any Fraction - yet before, or not, thank you for having us, for welcoming us. For the mutual respect, for it being a pleasure to make business with you in every and any aspect. ..And NO, this is not as a matter of course, as you might think. Do I need to remind you of the detail that my people had to flee the very lands of Chreshire on mass? That they still see me and my people with disdain, to put it mildly.

But THAT is beside the point. No, we are here to CELEBRATE, now aren't we, to celebrate what my and your people have managed to build up via strong alliances, diplomatic agreements, and good relations. To celebrate what we have build up - TOGETHER, in unison. I am pleased, honoured and utterly proud if I managed to contribute even the smallest aspect to this. To what we are having today. I am indeed utterly proud to call the Mageocracy my homelands - I would certainly not be here without you, on this glory day.

So go out there, CELEBRATE, ENJOY YOURSELVES, and simply HAVE A GOOD TIME - life in Sutalör is hard enough, but let's keep a blind eye on that aspect just for moment.

...That should be all. Once again, you have my personal and utter gratitude."

He deeply bows a few times again, like he did at the beginning.


That's not all however - To make thing GRANDE and kick things off with a literal BLAST, can we create sort of a firework/light effect via Evocation spells, using Zephy's Dazzling Gleam and Aurora Veil, Myra's Flame Burst, Nirix's Dazzling Gleam and psychic powers, Spritzee's Fairy Wind, as well as his own Air Affinity? He's willing to throw in some units of Veil Color to make this EXTRA-awes-inspiring and colorful. Bernhard intends to make it an absolute wonderful and utterly impressive effect, combining all of these aspects in a GREAT FINALE wooohoooo! Gauntlet Stress is 12 and I don't intend to use that mans spells today, so all should be well on that end?
