[Game] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure: Celadon City Vandel

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

Mew stared at the picture you faithfully and  surprisingly well recreated from memory, until they placed both paw across their eyes and let out a frustrated and grumpy *Meeeeeeeeeew.......* . She then pinged Reiner her assessment of Arial's picture, before returning herself straight back to her Pokeball, in both an attempt to escape ANY and ALL Cursed Arm business this morning, and return to her slumber before you unintentionally interrupted it.

'I don't know how in Arceas or Cressilina's name that madman did it, but what he saw was indeed The Poison Cursed Arm Asclepius Arbitration , or at least how it looked a couple of centuries ago until humanity's technological advancement transformed it and most others of its ilk.I honestly don't know much about it myself since I've never had the pleasure of some psychotic numbnut trying to kill me with it, but I bet its nasty, icky, and deadily.....  *Sighs* I'm going back to bed, Reiner, as its waaaaay too early to deal with this type of shit. Wake me up when you are about to go beat up you cousin, or if you  trouble finds you yet again......'

Nom.

"Aren't they all in one way or another?"

Nom.  Sausage is gone.  On to the egg.

"That's fine.  Go ahead and get some more rest.  Still got some other stuff to deal with."

Nom.

"...Asclepius Arbitration.  Heh.  Quite the name that thing has."

Nom.

"...though that's apparently the form it previously took before technology advanced further.  So..."

Nom.

"...why did you see it in that form, instead of something more modern?"

Nom.

"Well, probably a question for another time.  Unless it happens to be here in the city for some reason.  Wouldn't surprise me at this point, really."

Nom.  Egg's gone.  Reiner's done with his breakfast now.  Chef was probably missing that Blackthorn touch that Reiner was used to, or something.  Maybe.

"Now then...back to your other question, Arial...do I really need to answer for Kyubi?  Aside from maybe a few aspects of her past life causing some discomfort, she's doing fine.  Fairly obvious to see that.  Mina...she's taking some time to digest what's happened.  That's all.  I don't recommend bothering her about it."

*glug*  Reiner's gotten a glass of milk as well.  Down's half of it in one go.

Just as you were going for that second chug of sweet delicious Moo Moo Milk, you almost dropped it in surprise when you heard Emily shout "Good morning, Mister!!!" , barely placing it down on the table in time to turn towards the source, only to be barreled into the couch by the girl Tackle hugging you into it! Fortunately, due to your armor and cushions, you took no damage from the bright and chipper little miss! From your new , *ahem* , reclined position , you could see Angelica walking down the stairs and into the lobby, giving you an apologetic but slightly playful look in their eyes as they approached you and gave a nice, sharp and crisp salute.

"Ready to began operations, sir! What will be your orders for today? "

"Asclepio Arbitration...Well I must admit something: Arkus perhaps was a lunatic person in create weapons to kill Legendaries, but I cant deny he have a good taste for sonoric names: Mamudo Eclipse, Residuam Culidae, Asclepius Arbitration. Except T.P.K.: Telekinetic Psychosomatic Killer. Too much long for a Killer weapon."

Then Arial notices Angelica coming. "Good morning again Officer, good morning Emily. Ready for what Reiner?"

[Lord Windos]

"Gah!"

Welp, guess Emily had used Quick Attack to reach him so quickly, if he hadn't even had time to properly react...

"...good to see ya too, Emily.  *Ahem*  Now, if you could just get off of me, please, I need to have a quick word with you about Mina...we'll get to what we're doing today in a moment, Angelica, so just hang tight while I wrap things up."

Reiner's almost certainly stronger than Emily and could likely easily get her off of him himself, but eh.

Giggling and lookly slightly (but not entirely, mind you) bashful about her enthusiastic morning greeting, she let you go from the hug and roll off to your side, sitting there with messed up hair and giving you a curious/excited look. "Ms. Mina?! Is she doing ok after that.... hurt her, Mister?"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"Nuuuuh! I didn't mean to use Confuse Ray on ya, sorryyyy! Guess what, nothing happened to Cirno! No need to worry, alright there? It's fiiiiine! My hair's just white and stuff and I can summon a hailstorm because I can, okay? Aaaaaaargh! " *scratching the sides of her head with both hands, semi-messing up the white hair in chaos* I'm fine, okay, just like you are!~ Now, stay with meh 'n outside of yar Ball for'a while, will you? I'd like to get started on the new batch of 1000 sketches sooner or later eventually, and yar just as sweet munching down on that treat!~"
(Entering new stage: Upset with oneself, denial and refusal of the happenings)

You didn't mean to confuse your beloved pixie, but it was never the less super effective as they gave you a somewhat worried look at how suddenly weird and moody you were acting. Well, more so than your usually fae attitude, but still, this was abnormal response even for you!!! However, they instinctively knew that prodding your for answers now would just make you even more distressed, and just did as you commanded, landing on your head and munching on their chocolate treat while you sketched the morning away, dealing with your problem as you saw fit.

Then Arial notices Angelica coming. "Good morning again Officer, good morning Emily. Ready for what Reiner?"

"My plans for the day, of course.  Surely, that's not hard to deduce, is it?"

Giggling and lookly slightly (but not entirely, mind you) bashful about her enthusiastic morning greeting, she let you go from the hug and roll off to your side, sitting there with messed up their and giving you a curious/excited look. "Ms. Mina?! Is she doing ok after that.... hurt her, Mister?"

Reiner sits up.  "She's...trying to cope.  She said she'd be happy to talk with you a little later, though.  However, I haven't told her about what yet. She's probably going to have a few questions considering...well..."

Reiner just kinda points at Emily's talons and eyes, as she's not currently wearing anything to conceal them.

"...I've not talked to her about THAT topic yet and the...related matters.  You should probably be wearing the gloves and glasses I gave you so you can try to...ease her into things.  Oh, and...you might also have to give her this, depending on what questions she asks and how you answer them."

Reiner pulls out Archie's letter to Mina and hands it to Emily.

"...there's probably still some things I might have to explain, depending on how she reacts to whatever Archie wrote in that letter.  Go ahead and text me if there are some questions you think I need to answer sooner rather than later.  As for what I HAVE told her...I told her about Mew using her Ninetales to bring her back to life, that we found her bag, that we found her Ribombee and she was fine apart from being KOed...nothing about the Vampire and what killed her.  Probably best not to bring that up unless we absolutely have to."

...

"...ah, that reminds me.  I'd recommend you give Mina's bag to Mr. Mime so he can return her belongings to her if you haven't done so already.  So...any questions I need to answer for you before I go do my tasks for the day?"

Welp, this was sick, as Mina herself somewhat felt bad now - neither did she wanted to react like this in the first place nor unnecessarily worry her sweetest Bugfairy. But... she knew Master well, thank heaven. ...Heaven! Nope, we won't let that nigtmare/dream being reviewn by her inner eye now, better concentrate on the paper now, all while giving both Navi and Momochi occassional strokes through their fur. The first resting on her head meant more Shield Dust covering her hair, but for now Mina does not care. Maybe she was even appreciating it.

It seems like if given enough time, rest, distraction and a chance to try out her new inherited powers in a battle, Mina will eventually cope. Someday. Eventually. Maybe in a month or so.

"Need some help for today? I kinda your bodyguard, so if you need some extra pair of hands, count with me. But I would like to take a quick investigation in that Nuclear Factory since is problably one of our next destinations. Not gonna fully enter of course, just a quick investigation to see what kinda of danger and Nucmons we might find there. And since I have a Nuclear and a Steel type of my side I am secure. Or I could send our "special agent" to collect some info about your cousin arrival. About how much security he have, what you might find, etc etc." Arial was of course talking about Riza, but he didnt say the name out loud.

".......Oh. .......Ok. ....I understand. Waking up from a terrible dream, with every so strange  about you and....and everything else I guess.... one of your best friend in the whole wide world gone.......its so weird and scary mister. I hope Ms. Mina gets better quickly like I did, and I'm ok waiting until she's fine until talking to her. Don't want to be....overbearing and a burden to her, so I can wait!"

Emily lost a lot of her morning cheer after saying her piece in response, a  solumn and sad smile on now on their face that look so out of place on the little miss. She weakly giggled when you reminded her to keep her 'disguise' up and nodded their head, and accepted the letter with curious and somewhat reproachful glare at it, and a nod of their head. Judging from what you can detect from her emotional state, she believes ANYTHING but Kyubi ('She's just the sweetest thing! How the fucking hell did that scumbag end up with her....?) that is involved with that rich bastard is no good at all, and will just make things worse SOMEHOW.....

At the comment about Mina's bag, though, Emily looked a bit startled by the request, before they brightened up and cheerfully started smiling again! "Already did so, mister! Gave it to him and ask for him to clean it up and give it back to Ms. Mina, so that she can get it back right away! I thought she'd be happier to have her supplies back if they weren't covered in oil, dirt, and blood, so I decided to help her out this way! What do you think?"

Simultaneously, Mr. Mime returned to the lobby where Mina was hanging out and returned her Bag and all the Items/Poke in it, before disappearing to who know wheres the staff goes.....

When you offered to answer some of her questions, the tough young lady put a fist on her chin and looked pensive for a moment, a cute frown on your face, before they answered.

"What are going to do today while you are gone, mister? I know you have.....a dangerous life, despite you trying to hide and keep me out of it....so are you going to be ok? Do you think anything.....bad will happen to us again, like yesterday and the....day before? What's this Nuclear Facility, and why is Arial *Gives them a sullen glare* being so weird about it? Will....Will I get to see my parents again soon, after I get to talk to Ms. Mina today if she feels like it? I know they must be worried how I'm doing.....and I miss them too....but I'm not sure if its a good idea for me to be around them anymore. I don't.....I don't want to attract any trouble to them, or.....worse."

"That was a very good idea, Emily.  Very considerate of you."

...

'...as sharp eyed as a Doduo...heh...guess it's to be expected, to be honest...'

Reiner takes a moment to think about how to respond...crouches so he's on eye level with her.

"...I have some family matters to attend to.  Not nice ones, unfortunately, though I hope to maybe defuse at least some of the tension.  I'll do my best to stay out of trouble, I can assure you of that."

...

"...I hope nothing does, Emily.  I REALLY hope nothing does.  This week has been an absolute mess of both good and especially bad occurrences for me.  It'd be nice for things to calm down a little, but I'm trying to be prepared for the worst."

...

"The nuclear facility...*also glares at Arial for a moment*...is something Mew's asked me to look into.  Neither of us are confident the police can handle it on their own, despite what I've heard from them so far.  I need to spend some time making preparations for that later today, unfortunately.  As much as we want to stay out of that situation, there seems to be things going on there that warrant Mew's attention..."

...

"...yes, we can go visit your parents again soon.  And I'm sure they'll appreciate your concern for their safety.  But whether you should stay with them or not...I think that's something you'll have to discuss with them."

...Reiner closes his eyes and tilts his head downwards as he says this next part.

"...treasure what time you still have with your parents, Emily.  As someone who hasn't seen his parents in four years, that's probably the best advice I can give you."

[Spiritmon]

Arial notices everyone glaring at him. "What? I know I charming and everything but you are not my type Reiner. I not in that side of the force thank you. Is there something in my teeth? Gaspar, a mirror please." Then Gaspar transform itself in a mirror and Arial look himself in the mirror searching for any piece of food. "Or this is some kind of glare contest? I would like to try myself!" *Sudden glare against Reiner*
