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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Hmm... Okay, let's ditch the idea of having my reputation at the docks cleared and go for my alterative ideas for the request - in order of preferance, with No.1 being the most prefered and No.4 the less prefered.

[Request #1]
Please get me an Item that powers up the moves of Umbrelong/Equinox. Optimally all of them, and unique to the creature. If that's too much, an Item that solely powers up their ???-moves. If that is also too much, any Item that is unique and useful to Umbrelong alone, and that shall become her default held Item. If it proves useful channeling her moves and powers, even better. If the lab Nox escaped from has none such an Item, request for one to be made.

. . . . . .okay, Bernhard, please don't mess up here. You seemingly hit a nerve on your beloved, a quite sensitive one, don't make this more difficult than it already is.


He gives her a genuinely apologizing look over having startled, spooked and scared her, then a rather embarassed chuckle. "My sincere aplologies, my dear. I didn't mean to...cause you sorrow or fear, how could I ever to my truthful (he swallows the 'forbidden') beloved."

She speaking...like a normal person is what REALLY worries and concerns him. Rarely does she so, and even more rarely towards him, I feel? Either way, that's a crystal-clear sign to Bernhard that he really shouldn't press the matter, or at best not having brought it up in the first place. He gives her a look™, then averts his gaze away to the side, very clearly feeling uncomfortable here. Then he lets out a deep sigh.

For a good hot minute or so, there's only silence as Bern rots there in feelings of 'you messed up'. Eventually though, he takes heart, gives her a comforting embrace, and a tender kiss on the cheek of hers.  "*whispers into her pointy ear* ...I'm deeply sorry, Morgana, my dearest lady. Please do believe dear me when I say it wasn't my intention - keep your secrets, I shall not indulge in the matter further. At all, nor ever."

He breaks the hug and gives her a tender~smile as he gently take her hand into his. "...My utter gratitude and thanks for having come today; for making time for me, for us. You are here to indulge in the Festival with me, now aren't you?~~ Well then... So mote it be. As little time as we may heave, let us make the most of it, my dear. This fine day is still young - is there, perhaps and maybe, anything specific you desire to see or do or would prefer if me does take the lead?~"


Course of Action:
Is there anything specific Morgana would want to see? Or is there anything at the Festival that would suit a couple like these two or anything that could be deemed romantic, what are the options here?

If there isn't or you don't have any ideas, we'll take her to Kyorge's M.A. Hall to see the Grand Orchestra playing and setting the mood. ...Whatever mood that may be.

The officials were even more confused at first by your first alternative request...until you released your very friendly and forceful chimera to show them off, who looked at all the funny people and let out a trill of "wwWwwVVrrrm?"

Some were still confused, but a few stiffened as the glowing nature of your lox hinted at something that triggered all SORTS of alarm bells in their stuffy little heads. A few tests were done to confirm their suspicions, and after that point the lead official elected to speak/deal with you was looking rather pale, sweaty, and very, very befuddled as they said:

"Ah....Sir Bernhard....may I ask why you have a Nuclear Type Pokemon of unknown origin? Not that we don't trust you can take care of it, of course! A Scimitar of your standing and power should easily be able to  tame or use such a...uh....radical creature! We just want to know for safety and public concern, of course. You of all should understand how a....power like this Pokemon possesses can be quite, uh....dangerous if not properly handled, yes?"

Well shit. ??? Revealed - > Nuclear Type! Umbrelong Confirmed to be a Stable Nuclear Mon!

Once you assunged their fears and told them (or not and just said you have already 'dealt with' the matter, as befitting a Scimitar), the officials are quick to huddle together, rapidly discussing what could be given to further refine the vulpizard's Power without potentially causing problems until one man suggested something that got the others to pause....before everyone nodded in agreement.

Some calls were made, and a few minutes later, off the stage and in a very private and guarded area in City Hall the Speaker handed you a small but good-sized metal box. One, you recognized, was lined with lead.

"For you and your Umbrelong, Sir Bernhard. This should be more than sufficient in empowering and further befriending it."

Opening the box revealed a bright sky blue gem stone that shined radiantly in the light. Literally : it was glowing a blue remarkably akin to the same glow emitted by your newest companion, and you could feel the caustic, near Corruptive nature of the power it Held.

Nox, if they were still out, would stand straight up on its hind legs the moment the jewel was revealed, eyeing it with rapt fascination - *Yoink!* and promptly took it for herself/themselves, chittering/humming in pure delight before winding its/her way up your side to nuzzle your face in sincere, joyful thanks for such a invaluable Treasure.

[b]Radiant Topaz Obtained, and promptly Equipped by Nox. Effect: + 1 to ALL Attributes; + 1 to a Skill Tree Specialties of Its/Her Choice (Choose at Day Start - Currently Contest); + 1 Damage Dice to Nuclear Type Moves. Automatically and irrevocably Corrupts most Normal Mons, and Radiation Poisons all but Steel, Ghost, and Dragon Types otherwise.

For a Stable Nuclear Mon, however, it actually acts in reverse, absorbing the radioactive energy they emit and eliminating the risk of their Nuclear Energy Corrupting/sickening others; said energy is then stored and refined in the gemstone to Channel its power back into its Holder (Feedback Loop!). A portion of said Energy can later possibly be Extracted and used by a competent Scientist or Magi....if they are brave and Skilled enough to do so without consequences. [/b].

+ 2 Happiness and + 1 Loyalty for Nox! They/she are VERY pleased with your gift, if their/her public display of affection was any indication....

You get a mirthful chuckle as 'your' Lady set you gently on the ground after the hug, simply shaking her head and gracing you with a most indulgent smile that had shivers racing down your spine.

That moment was promptly ruined by your question, but your swift and timely save caused them to visibly perk up as she cupped your face and planted a kiss on your forehead.

"Most blessed and beneficent are thee, my sweet, silly-nilly man. Yes....let us not talk about that. At least....not for some time yet to come."

And she figuratively and literally had you in the palm of her hand, like a turtledove chocolate she so happened to pluck from a box of confections.

"Indeed and correct, yes and yes my more than good man. Tired and...vexed though I am by....recent matters and tidings, I can hardly afford or accord missing spending a wine-fine moment with you, during these most momentous, fabulous festivities, hmm? Te he he ~ .... "

Morgana isn't that interested in what Bayhama normally has to offer - otherwise she'd have dragged you here more frequently in your past 'outings' - but the mention of the Grand Orchestra does seem most pleasing to her. 

....There is, of course, the alternative option of simply spending your time with her in a more, ah, intimiate manner....if your brave enough to do so while she's a bit weary and emotional. Times like this make the Fairy Queen more temptuous and Wild, as her self control seems more want to slip, but that just makes it all the more thrilling, eh Romeo?

Which will it be?
