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

[Spiritmon]

You got yourself a sigh and shrug from the Good Witch with your teasing, shaking her head minutely at all the times she drew 'attention' and being hit on. She was dedicated to the Art of Magic and her Master, not trying to flirt and hook up with others. Was it so hard to understand?

Ceruledge would occasionally creep closer, as if drawn further in and wanting to prod at you, but Glinda hovering around you kept them at a respectable distance. 

Dite indeed would bolt to the opposite side of the private booth if Summon, though only after seeing if the door was locked, closed, and that their was no way out. Seddi offering a seat does nothing to assunge the fae fox's fears; heck, not even your own friendly Dragon was enough, as she just shied away from contact, cringing and shivering. Which got the goo boi to frown in worry before looking between Seddi and Oz with clear sadness and concern. If the cowboy didn't know better Dite's behavior would be textbook for Pokemon Trauma and Abuse - in this case its not the later but extremely likely the former.

Most Mons , like most people, can be remarkably sensative souls and need a great deal of 'grit' and Toughening before they can take the worst life can offer. Death of a loved one or friend severely messes with people, especially when it happens RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU and there was nothing you could do about it. Age is also a big factor, as the younger the more emotionally vulnerable they are.

Now combine all these together in one feel swoop, and perhaps it could be understood why Dite was so messed up by that experience. Seddi would know the above factoid , as well as the general advice for it: just give them up to a proper support group. Trying to rebuild trust so thoroughly shattered is a fool's errand for all but the most charismatic and empathetic souls or copious amounts of mental/soul manipulation to 'remove' the trauma, and nobody in the group really qualifies as a therapist but maybe Sylvia (Who has just left for greener pastures). Still, if you can persist...the bounce back is said to be epic indeed.

As for Dite...well...

"You've got your work cut out for ya, Oz (@Spiritmon).  Poor thing's scared stiff.  Whatever you're about to say, maybe be careful how ya phrase it.  They need comfort right now."

Oz put her hand on her tempers, and try to sit down, sad and concern in what to do. Oz was to the point of tears, but...She must do something, anything. And try to fix things. But...how?

Oz did wait for a few seconds, trying to formulate a coerence though. She put her hands on her own shoulders and looking aside, she said. "...Not the best way to start a conversation?" She looks at the ground. She feel the fear cripping on her back, dangerous close to consume her. But...She must endure, and find a way to start this...

After a long while, she finally looks at Seddi eyes. "...If I can be perfect honest, I don't where to start. Or...How to say things first..." Oz rest of the team (with the exception Hecate since she still in the Pokeball) is out of her pokeballs, looking at this conversation. Fortuna is problably looking too, maybe apprensive for what is about to be tell. "...Before I tell you the truth, I must warn you: This is not a good story. Nor it end well. And...after the end of it, you are free to judge me whatever you feel like it...But whatever will be tell here, you must promise me to not tell to anyone: To Akamu, Sylvia, Vernon, Dodger and specially Mr Samsara. Specially him. Can you promise me this Seddi?"

"If you have questions...now is the time to make them. And I will answer them, with the best of my abilities."
