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

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Ceruledge herself nods firmly along side her Master and Wielder. Though her existence, filled with Malice and Curses as it was, was something she has grown to cherish after a fashion. Negativity burns ever bright and can be overwhelming, yes, but when put in service to a High Cause (you) it truly is a Forge for the SOUL, to maketh a Blade to Burn, Blight, and Butcher all that would dare violate you and what you two hold dear...

Leaves is able to send you a 'message' (more a feeling) that indeed any Shadow/Nucmons found in the Region are not tied to The Mission....though recommends you deal with them regardless to prevent them from exponentially complicating the severity of it all. A second Nuclear Disaster or Shadowy Revolution is the LAST thing the world needs.

Coupled with the Message you ALSO received from him about roughly where he'd be, you have at least a good heading with the Astral Stone to where to find the reckless fool FAST.

You could feel Kusanagi's Ball tremble in Anticipation as you talked - for a moment her Bloodlust and ardent Wish washed over you, threatening to drag your mind to places you just finished re-exploring. You're strong than THAT to let it affect you for long, however, worrisome as it could be to be so influenced by the Old Blade of Glory despite your tenuous Bond.

Your Fishy Sword was...well, they weren't happy to be put away/stay with Oz, but they understood the necessity of it and agreed. Goodra, however...

Loyalty: (6)(6)(2)
Disobedience: *(2)(2)(5)

...For a moment it looked like they would object to such a course of action (and quite strenuously at that), but between their own Fear of Fairies and their respect for you they (quite grudgingly and with no small amount of distress) agree to say behind as well. The Goodra's Infamous Temper still lay buried and dormant....for now.

Idea #1 should work perfectly well: using your mental experience of what Flying Taxis are like you can get Rabsca to fashion a Psychic Barrier Basket for Fortuna to hold and carry while you climbed in with Glinda. Then (after getting outside), with a VIGOROUS Tailwind conjured up by the raven you're off, soaring over the bustling crowds with more than decent haste! Several people gawk at you and a few times you end up almost pasting a poor bird or pissing off bigger ones, but no time to focus on that! To the Bug Boy's aid!!!

By the time you manage to track down where Darren nearly got himself KILLED at you find Bern having already Wished Away their Curse (and subsequent More Than Humanization) while Akamu had arrived only a few moments earlier and *just* was beginning to do their 'donations' .

*INS Roll + I.L. + Kusi*

...You also detect a lingering....animosity in the area that has flew under everyone elses radar thanks to your especially sensitive Mons. One that was slowly but surely building up to....well, who knows what. Best to get everyone out of here soon, or prepare for even more trouble. 
The sand begins to tremble...

A cowboy arriving on black wings to a secluded beach!  It certainly makes for a striking image.

He's ready to bring out Kusanagi at a moment's notice if a fight is going to break out.  This was their deal, and he'll fulfill his end of the bargain if the chance arises.  Would be a shame to lose her here before she even met his final Sword, but he's a man of his word.  She wants a Fight, she'll get a Fight.

A quick Input from my side before I'll be off to catch some Z's (very sorry if I'm interrupting here or assume things that might not happen, but I wished to state this before it might become too late or complicate things) : If Seddi shares this with us all, then we'll delay Healing Wish and prefer to gtfo FAST here. Verry sorry Darren, your soul damage will have to wait a bit, but Bern is not against providing it iffff you perhaps can make up to him in some way sooner or latter.

Seddi would wait until he's not interrupting any 'medical procedures' before he says anything (you don't go and rush someone making cuts with a knife, even if they are only cutting themselves!), so as to not cause more harm than good.  He's got more information here than the others do thanks to the nature of his job, so he's making sure to give everyone a very quick briefing of his understanding of the situation once it is safer to do so.

"If nobody's in immediate danger of dying now, we need to move to a safer location as soon as possible.  From the information I have, I'm gettin' the impression Darren caught a Flutter Mane, and the read I'm gettin' from here is that it's pissed.  We need to secure that critter's pokeball before it can cause trouble.  And believe me, it's going to cause Trouble with a capital 'T' if we do nothin'."

This is one of the most powerful Paradox Pokemon that resides in Paldea, and that's before you even consider whatever Sutalör has been feeding the Malefic Monstrum!  Suffice to say, Seddi doesn't want to necessarily find out what it's capable of first hand without being extremely prepared for it!

Glinda is summoned shortly after that statement.  "We've got a Teleport handy, courtesy of Oz, so let's move as soon as we can.  I'll contact the Professor as soon as we're back."
