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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

The down-low champion simply beams down upon you, uncaring (or not noticing, you think) about the slight panic her sheer existence causes. 'The Nemona Flight' was a common enough response of people trying to get away from being challenged or befriended by the overly competitive and enthusiastic woman, so your own surprise hardly phase them or Seddi.

"Nice to meet you, Oz! Be sure to keep the cowboy nice and patched up, 'cause I want him in condition when we have another battle! Think you'll be able to handle my A Team after all is said and done, Seddi?!"

---------

The other big champ of Paldea then focused ALL her energy and attention on you - a most Intimidating prospect, for anyone else not familiar with the battle hungry maniac like you.

"Hell yeah it is! Maybe my own luck is starting to rub off ya, if you seem to be in the right place and time for the fun or not-so-fun stuff."

'Fortune's Favor/Fortune's Folly' (Said by goodies and baddies, respectively) is one of her many titles, as he propensity to get dragged into all  sorts of situations and resolve them in her characteristic style (PASSION!) is infamously famous round the World!

Your brief assessment of the situation seemed to sap a bit of life out of the woman, though, as her grin dimmed to a mere look of concentrated concern as she listened.

"....Ah darn it, I was afraid of that."

She crosses her arms, looking pensive.

"Seddi, don't go spreading this around, but based on everything we've been hearing from the Doc, our own investigations, and my Gut Instinct....things are only going to get spicier from here. And not the good kind, but the Inferno Hot, get the Deluxe Miltank Milk kind of HOT."


*Sighs*

"...Prez didn't want to let you know this - try to keep it from you to make it easier to convince you to Fly on out of there - but...I got a different perspective on things. Much as she doesn't like it, you need to be there. Not for the world - though certainly we appreciate it! - but for you.  You get me, right?"

The thrill of danger, of adventure and purpose most grand, a challenge unlike anything ever before that pushes you to the very limit and beyond ... yeah, you get her.

"*Sighs*  Well, let's hear it. What are the things you're trying to keep like a Shuppet in the toybox? 'Cause we all know you like to keep your cards close to your chest and never lay them out straight until you got whatever it is dead to rights. That right, Seddi?"

 
"Maybe I'll be able to take ya on at your best when I'm finished here.  We'll see.  Still gotta work on toughenin' up the gang a little.  We're good, but not quite Champion class good yet."

A rather relevant point for entirely different reasons, but that can be tackled in a little bit.

Her personal assessment of the situation gets a thoughtful nod from the cowboy.  "About lines up with my own thoughts on the current events.  Let's get our facts straight first.  Just to double check, what has the Professor told ya so far?  Don't want to go needlessly repeatin' intel, and maybe I can help fill in some blanks."

(On a phone, so I’ll be succinct here)

Nemona perks up a bit about your casual acceptance/tease if a Battle (you poor fool) but she’s back too serious as she briefly recounts the Intel she got so far:

- She and Prez know about you and the Group, and the level of trust you all share
- She’s aware of Morgana’s interest and meddling in your life, much to her grim horror. She does NOT know anything more beyond vague, general stuff, though , and all the fear the Doc put into her
- She is aware of your Pseudo Law Man status in Sutalor, much to her amusement and Prez’s Not Amusement.
- She knows your of the Center that incident vaguely - no personal details.
- She knows the government has been leaning on you hard until recently due to “heck if I know”


She has one BAD thing to share with you: Sutalor has been cut off from the world. Somebody or THING collapsed the ways into it by sea, and several Bonn threats have been made to put their external airport outside the Wall on lockdown . Bar direct Paldea intervention or some CREATIVE problem solving the facts were this: you were stuck here for who knows how long…
