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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

(Hmmm... I have a rough idea of what request to make, but I'll need to give it some thought first before deciding on it. That Luxury Ball sounds perfect for that Umbrelong indeed! At the soonest opportunity (aka not right now), we'll transfer Equi/Nox/Equinox (all nicknames are valid) from her Pokeball to that commerative Luxury Ball. Bonus points for memorizing this Foxy Event and that Festival this way!)



Ah well, more honey words and praise, the audiences cheer and various thanks is sweet, oh-so-sweet~ music to our ears, even if it nearly blew our ear-drums (a discrete spell to block out noise does wonders). Heck, Bernhard cannot help but to display a tiny smile and even smaller blush, feeling proud and pleased with himself; as well as his magical Pokemon-partners for lending him their power to make this GREAT.

Bernhard would shake the official's hand (with the NON-gauntlet'ed one on his end), and give them a slight bow of respect. "Oh, my pleasure and honour actually~ *embarassed and highly-flattered stroking of hair out of face* Thank YOU for giving me the opportunity of opening things up on this grande day - and a special thank you for your rewards. Much appreciated indeed! I shall...come back to that request of yours, if you allow me to. I shall not make it unfulfillable on your end, no worries, haha~" *very mild laughter - a sign of Bern being in HIGH spirits!*


And with that Moderate Encounter concluded...

...About time for the stoic Magus to fully indulge in the ongoing festival, wohoooo!~ Yes he's in a good mood actually, pleased with himself by that great perfomance and honour, and a tiiiiny lil' bit looking forward to what the day will bring. Let's, uhm, hope Lady Luck and Miss Fortune will be benelovent towards him.

There's still some time until Morgana is said to come to join him for an outing, so... Ah damn, the more time passes, the more nervous AND excited Bernhard gets.

On his way to the Sutalor Department Building Mega Store, he'll stop by a candy booth and and buy several festival-themed sweets (as many as he can carry in one go), and share them with all of his Pokemon (Zephy getting the lion's share, with Bern second). I'd guess the Mythic as well as smol Spritzee would absolutely love cotton candy, which is also known as fairy floss! It's basically pure sugar, but let's ignore that aspect for now and simply enjoy it. "No, Zephy, you cannot have a third portion, you already are on a sugar high dear-me feels."

Out of sheer curiosity, how does that fortune teller Vernon visited react to Bernhard, an OBVIOUS SCIMITAR, walking by his tent? No, we're not planning to stay there and have our fortune told, Bernhard would just walk by, stop, take a step back and take a closer look, like 'Huh, is that someone from Chreshire??' No hard feelings or harm meant from Bernhard though towards 'em, he's just like 'meh, what are you doing here? But... live and let live, I guess, I will not do anything to you unless you mean harm to me first'


Minor Encounter is next: It's shopping time for Bernhard!!~ Oh, he's going to love this, having been sort a short on cash before his speech.

The Sutalor Department Building Mega Store: 25% Off Discounts on most EVERYTHING that is on sale or could be found in here! The TM Shop is an exception, though: instead they're offering a Limited Run of the following TMs:
(...)
In addition, anyone that buys a TM will be entered into a sweepstakes to win a Move EXemplifier!

You get a mental 'Nice~*!' from your mousy gal, who was just as pleased with the blazing hot reception. She was not above a little teasing too - "Daw....the spotlight heating ya up, or are you still bashful 'bout praise? I told ya I would make you a art start someday, and this is just another step there Shakesphere~"

The Officials are fine with Holding the request, though they want to get it done ASAP. Both to settle debts quickly and because the thought of you not getting what you're worth ASAP seems to be a mortifying thought to them!

*Rolls* ....Once more you are spared any excitement, despite drawing Fate's attention on ye. Haven't I told you guys not to tempt Fate?

If you're willing to splurge you could get some Bayhama Sun-days for $500 per unit - acts like a Full Heal, but also boosts Happiness too! Otherwise getting a boatload of fairy floss is cheap and easy - though trying to Fight against your fluffy and fae friends from eating it all and going off on a sugar rush is a Labor of its own! Zephy is particularly needy about it - "Come on, give Mama her sweets!" - while the aromatic pixie simply enjoyed what you gave but was always eyeing an opportunity to get more!

No reaction from simply passing the Fortuner Teller's Tent, nor do you detect any big activity from it, mundane or Magical.

Later on, trying to find a buying for the subtly magical crafting material was a bit of a challenge due to its uniqueness and nature, but you were eventually able to find a rich fashionista willing to part $750 Base Price for it. After YOUR Mod, that would be $750 + 375 = $1125 , and after the Sale Item Mod it would be $1688 Poke! Not bad at all, though finding someone else to sell this too may be hard work...

An occultist arts shop is willing to pay $500 Base Price for 1 Unit of Veil Colour; 500 * 1.5 = 750 * 1.5 = $1125 Poke for 1 Unit!

The shop keep spreads his arms out wide and welcomes you with a grin as you enter his shop, clearly happy to see you after a bit. The shop itself was fairly crowded, with several people browsing and other eagerly awaiting when the sweepstakes would start. You could also see several pierces of art Zephy drew -looks like the man elected to keep them to decorate the place.

"Hey, if it isn't my favorite magical customer! How've ya been? Hope it's been good me, 'cause thanks to ya my business has been booming! It has allowed me to go all out for the Festival! Plus your art has been a hit with the customers - you got to hook me up with more of it! But enough about me - what can I do for you ?"

Cha-Ching! Swords Dance Bought! Remember you have a standing Discount at the Shop, but with your recent windfalls you can more than afford it regardless. You have also been entered into the Sweepstakes - the more you purchase, the higher the odds of getting the Big Prize!

If that's all, then the Minor Encounter has been Concluded!

...And onto spending time with your paramour: Morgana.

You find a letter in you hand soon after your shopping trip is down. It simply read this: "Meet me yonder, as I ponder and wander, at the park I meet you and your own here and there. Eagerly and dearly awaiting, Morgana."

Now the REAL show begins - set the stage however you like, and I'll do the rest.
