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

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Oz was okay with that. She had already imagined that none of them would give some move to Copy. Akumo however was kind enough to let Bethy Copy Wide Guard. It will be extremely useful to protect everyone against the army of Ghosts, specially Oz since in her current form she is very much vulnerable to Ghost moves due to her double weakness.
 
Oz was frozen because of such action from the Priestess. Such loving and accepting action…Was enough to warm Oz's heart. She looked at the Priestess and said a shy thank you and then went on her way to make the last preparations. “We might need you soon for the battle ahead of us Priestess.”

She approaches Akumo/@Redstone. “We need to deal with these enemies. I think I have some powers and moves I could use to aid us. If you are willing to have me as part of your team. With your power, my power, and everyone's help, we will surpass those enemies. Any suggestions about what to do?”

Towards her sister's worries, he just sights and looks at her hands. All four of them. “So I am a copy of Oz memories and soul. Or at least just another fragment of the original Oz. Can’t help but feel a little existential nightmare. But…” She clench her hands. “Still, I didn’t want to stay in that place of my mind like a prisoner, watching a “version” of me fighting while I stayed out. I wanted and want to fight alongside you all. And fight alongside Seddi, Akumo, Mr Samsara and everyone else. This is my fight. And I want to help save everyone. I felt…angry. Confused. Scared. And frustrated. I don’t…appreciate my freedom being taken by anyone. Even if it is a version of me.”

She looked at the ground. “...That’s the reason why I think Zoete feels at this moment. She was born in a conflict between me and Hecate. She barely existed for a few hours. She probably didn’t even know about my own existence or Hecate existence before I snatched my freedom from her. And…I can barely feel her presence in my body. I can feel a weakened presence of her, but it's like…she is comatose and out of commission, but…hurt. And Hecate…it's not happy. She was willing to be part of Zoete, but she didn’t like what I did to Zoete. She is willing to keep me alive, but she is not willing to do anything else to help.”

“*Sight* If I ever get the chance…I will want to talk to Zoete again. To apologize and try to build bridges of forgiveness and maybe trust between us. Yes, she did control my body, and yes I was angry, confused and frustrated…But she is still a part of me. And I don’t want to be her enemy. I want to…be her friend. Or at least her ally. And…if she ever forgives me, be my sister too. I want to help her be her own person. Not a reflection of me and Hecate. But be her own person…And be part of our family.” Oz put a hand in her heart, filling both dread but also hope. “This is something I genuinely wish for.”

Oz, within deep in her heart, wishes Zoete (even in her state) somehow receives these words from Oz. Knowing herself, Oz knows it might take a long time to fix things…But she at least wants to try to talk to Zoete, and try to find a way to talk to her. Face to face.

“...But that will have to wait. Right now, we have a battle to face sisters. And with this power.” A strong light appeared in Oz's hand. “I feel I can finally do something about it.”

In the case of the Priestess she literally had no Mons for you to copy Moves from, and from the regretful look any inquiries about Copying her unique powers were meet with soft denails. Speaking of her, she nods at your request and follows along behind you, staying close but just enough out of the way to give you privacy and space to get ready/speak with others.

With your Sisters: Glinda and Fortuna rub/pat you on the back and give sympathetic nods. The thought of you, regardless of which version, being TRAPPED like that...well it certainly paints your decision in a more favorable light to them. Persaphone simply gives you a Knowing Look, as if to say 'Understood, but do you?' 

Your desire to reconcile with your Fusion Self is meet with an encourage nod from said Ghostly spellcaster, while Bethy seems a bit baffled at how that would go without trouble and the level of optimism required to think you'll even GET the chance. The rest of the Coven is skeptical and worried about that, but for now they're content to let you try first.

Since you're closely working with Akamu you also hear/are a part of his discussion with his own 'supporters' , so comment on that if you Wish.

For your own the Priestess remains silent but open to questions, while 'John' crosses his arms and glares off into the distance while his goons trade wary and semi-hostile glances with the Officers. 

*Flips Coin* ....'John' has his Drapion out with him, and it was a big, beautiful brute that never the less made your skin crawl. You caught it twisting around a few times to inspect you, a sort of simplistic curiosity in its actions as it tries to figure out WHAT sort of Fairy you are...
