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

[Dragonstrike]

'Okay, something's been bothering me.'

(What is it, Child of Dragons?)

'Just who are you guys?  How did you acquire so much power? And why is it you're so focused on me specifically, Dragonstrike?'

(That is not a question I can answer for you at this is point in time, I'm afraid.)

'Oh come on, really? Look, I've been stuck here for way too long, my perspective of the world flipped upside down, and nobody is giving me any answers about what the heck is going on!'

(I am aware of this, but I think it would be better if you hear it from Mew instead of one of 'us.')

'Grrr...why do you have to be so @#&$￦¥ stubborn about this?!'

(Calm yourself, Reiner.  Things should progress soon enough.  I'm sure Mew will be more than happy to explain things to you when she awakens.  But you don't want to take your anger out on her.  She'll be upset enough as it is.)

'Just...just let me do something.  I've been stuck here for over a week now if I'm to believe this strange device...I can't stand feeling so...helpless...gaaahhh...'

(You are far from helpless, but if things look to be taking longer than usual for Windos, I might be able to tell you a small amount.  Maybe.)

'Ugh...fine...I hope things continue soon...'

(I do as well.)

[Lord Windos]

'Just...just let me do something.  I've been stuck here for over a week now if I'm to believe this strange device...I can't stand feeling so...helpless...gaaahhh...'

(You are far from helpless, but if things look to be taking longer than usual for Windos, I might be able to tell you a small amount.  Maybe.)

'Ugh...fine...I hope things continue soon...'

(I do as well.)

(As hard as it is for you to believe this, Renier, we have our own existences, task, and other roles to manage, on top of operating the universe you call home. I've been quite busy with other matters of critical importance, so I have had scant time to continue the ongoing state of affairs.)

(The nature of our power, however....I could enlighten you if you truly wish, but its as Dragonstrike says: Mew would be the best suited to break the news in the most gentle and comfortable way possible.)

(I have my doubts that you'll react in a remotely positive way regardless of who lets the Skitty out of the bag, but best be safer than sadly mistaken. Its only a recommendation on both our parts, though, so you are free to make any choice in regards to this intelligence.)

(For an alternative line of thought to while away the 'hours' while everyone over 'here' gets their business sorted out and accounted for, you could maybe think of the best way to reveal to 'him' their latest change in status......as well as gender, now that I think of it. Male human horomones might play havoc with 'his' moods, but I believe waking at the brinkk of Fainting, in extreme Pain, and hopped up on Rare Candies and a surge of adrenaline will distract them from such trivialities. Or so I imagine; this is Mew we are talking. Chances are she got up into even worse situation than this, and could end up talking everything in stride. Doubt it, but its still a possibility...)

(Hmm....if you are THAT bored with the T.U.V.E.I or desire to stretch your appendages, I can set up something up for you. It'll be a surprise, though, so you either go into it blind as a Zubat, or you are stuck here in time like a Forretress stuck to the side of a tree. Though I can tell you this much: once you accept, there is no quiting at all.)

(There is also exploring the city in its frozen state, but their is nothing you can really do that would not either be ineffectual, or potentially screw yourself and everyone you are responsible right now.)

(That is all I can offer you for now, Dragon Child. Think carefully.)

[Spiritmon]

(Well if you need a name to call us you can call Oversees. We watch this world beyond ours, sometimes just seeing, and sometimes, we "act" by the wish of fate. This all I can provide for you now. I already mess more than necessary.)

[Dragonstrike]

'...*sigh*...I need to think about that a little bit...breaking the news to Mew has been one of my primary concerns, obviously...it's been...nerve wracking, really...well, while you're here, any recommendations for what I might do on the TUVEI in the meantime?  Can't find any of the other info I'm looking for...'

(Oh, you mean about Buzzwole?  Yeah, you're not likely to find that info.  As for a recommendation...well, how about playing maybe...how about some Pokken Tournament? I think you might like that game.  It's been gaining some ground in Saffron lately. And it might help you get used to fighting as a pokemon.)

'Okay...guess I'll look into it...'

[Dragonstrike]

[For reference, this universe's version of Pokken Tournament is going to have Mew in place of Mewtwo and Shadow Mewtwo, since Mewtwo's existence isn't exactly publicly known yet.  Should be exactly the same as our version of Pokken otherwise.]

'Hmmm...this Pokken Tournament...it's...weird.  Type advantages don't matter at all, they don't need Key Stones to mega evolve (or even have to mega evolve in the first place)...and this 'Shadow Mew' is...yeesh, I don't know how to describe it.'

(Haha.  Yes, the fictional Ferrum region is quite something, isn't it?)

'No kidding...'

(Now, let me show you exactly why I thought you'd find this interesting...)

'Wait, what are you doing?'

(Well, you are Mew after all.  And that means you can do something...unique.  All you need is a little nudge to do it...)

'Wait, don't tell me you're...'*snap*

And the next thing Reiner knows, he's actually in the game, playing as Mew.

(And there you have it.  As I said, you can use this opportunity to get used to fighting as a pokemon.  And since Mew is in the game, it was too perfect of an opportunity for me to let you pass it up.  You might even get to see what some of Mew's more powerful techniques can do.)

'Okay...this is weird...but at least I can move, I guess...'

(I figured you'd like that.  When you're done practicing, all you have to do is will yourself out of the game.  If you're interested in trying out other pokemon, you can try fighting as those too.  You might be interested in knowing Weavile is a playable character, by the way.)

'...this all sounds really convenient...'

(It kinda is.  I happen to own a copy of the game myself, so I might play a couple matches with you when you've practiced a little.)

'...wait...you can do that?'

(Hahaha.  I'm the only one who can, Child of Dragons.  Now then, if you're ready to face your first opponent...)

A Pikachu appears on the screen as well!

(Do not underestimate any of your opponents just because Mew would normally obliterate most of them.  Everything in this game is fairly well balanced, so everything stands a decent chance at victory.  Well, I'll check back in a little bit.  Enjoy the practice!)

'...alright, I guess...'

[Dragonstrike]

(Alright, Reiner, feeling practiced enough?)

'Hehehe.  Hope you're ready, Dragonstrike, cuz I think I'm gonna surprise ya!'

(We shall see.  Well then, what pokemon shall you be facing me as?  I've got my trusty Scizor right here, and he's eager for a battle.)

'Well, let's see how he likes facing a Weavile.  Being Mew is great and all, but I've been trying out a bit of Weavile when that fighting style got a bit bland.'

(Getting stale or not, that's the fighting style you'll have to get used to, so I recommend you continue practicing later.  Well then, let's pick our supports next...I think I'll go with...Espeon and Umbreon.  How about you?)

'Reshiram and Cresselia for me.  Let's see how ya handle that.'

(Very well.  And for our battle arena, let's keep it to the simple Ferrum Stadium for now.  Alrght, whenever you're ready.)

'Heh.  I've been practicing for this.  I hope you're the one who's ready!'

(We shall see, Child of Dragons.  Now then...begin!)

And the battle begins...

...and quickly ends.  Weavile managed to land one or two blows quick combos on Scizor, but Scizor's powerful strikes were more assertive.  Neither managed to call for a support pokemon.

'Gah!  Yeesh, that Scizor is tough!'

(I've been warming him up.  Been a little outta practice.  Now then, on to Round two!)

Round 2!  Fight!

'Let's see how you like...THIS!'

Weavile starts glowing with rainbow colored energy!

(Oh my, that was a quick Synergy Burst...)

It's quick to wear off, though...

(And now...it's MY turn!)

Scizor calls in Umbreon, Mega Evolves with hi own Synergy Burst, and then proceeds to brutalize Weavile with his Burst Attack!

Match Over!

'Gah!  Ow...ay yi yi...that hurt...'

(And that wasn't even with a type advantage factored in.)

'I think that's enough of Pokken for now...'

(Thought you'd be able to best me on your first go after over a day of practice?)

'Was hoping I'd be able to...'

(Heh.  Well, I'm afraid being a person of great importance doesn't exempt you from being put in your place by those stronger than you.  Scizor can be rather...ruthless in his assault.  Very aggressive.  Much like Buzzwole was, in a way.  Best be careful against opponents like that in the future.)

'No kidding...yeesh...I didn't even get to use my Burst Attack...interestingly, they're a bit like Z-moves in a way, aren't they?'

(In a way.  Not quite the same, but there are similarities.  Speaking of which...Windos has given me permission to give you a little bit of knowledge concerning that topic.)

'Hm?'

(I'm sure you're aware of how powerful Mew's Burst Attack is in Pokken, correct?)

'Yeah...'

(Well, what if I told you Mew has an even STRONGER technique?)

'That seems unlikely.'

(She's the Progenitor, the Origin of All Life.  Why wouldn't she have something of vast power?)

'...fair point, I guess...'

(Her ultimate, signature move is quite impressive.  In fact, it's a Z-move.  It is called: Genesis Supernova.)

'That sounds...excessive.'

(It is a little excessive.  She gathers the psychic energy in the surrounding life around her, wraps it into a ball of pure destruction, and then throws it at her intended target.  The results...aren't pretty.  It is one of the most powerful moves in existence.  Unless the target is exceedingly powerful or part Dark type, the move instantly obliterates them.)

'Yikes.'

(Oh, and it also demolishes absolutely everything in the surrounding area.  At minimum.  At most, it could wipe an entire city off the map completely.  Oh and the demolished area also becomes covered in a Psychic Terrain for an unspecified amount of time, so even if her target does survive, then they have to deal with Mew's souped up Psychic attacks and have no chance of surprising her with speed.)

'...oh my...'

(Yes, and before she was depowered, she didn't need a Z-crystal nor a trainer to use it.)

'...'

(Now that she is weaker, though, well, she needs a very, very specific set of requirements to use the move in the first place.)

'I suppose that's a good thing...what...are those requirements, though, just out of curiosity?'

(First, she has to know Psychic.  That's fairly straightforward.  Next, she needs a Trainer she has a strong bond with to perform the Psychic Z-dance.  And finally, she needs to be holding a Z-crystal.)

'Psychium Z, right?'

(No, this one's special.  A few pokemon have very, very special Z-moves that are exclusive to their species.  And to use them, they need to know both a specific move and be holding a Z-crystal unique to their kind.  In this case, Mew would need to be holding a Mewnium Z.)

'Okay...and I imagine that's incredibly rare, right?'

(Yes and no.  You could actually get one right now if you wanted.)

'...wait, what?'

(Mew has the power to turn any Z-crystal into a Mewnium Z at the expense of a little of her willpower.  So, you, being Mew, could do so with one of Petrel's Z-crystals as soon as Windos returns.  You can also revert the Z-crystal to its original state if you decide you need that more than the Mewnium Z.)

'...this sounds like you're purposely trying to tempt me into trying to use this Z-move...'

(Well, the other catch is that Mew has to actually agree with you that using the move is a good course of action.  Z-moves don't work if the trainer and pokemon don't work together to use the move.  Any small disagreement on the matter, and the Z-power just won't kick in.)

'...so there's no point in getting a Mewnium Z if Mew doesn't want to ue her strongest move?'

(Correct.  So there should be no need to worry about causing an unneeded amount of devastation.  Though, if I remember correctly, there is a rather large part of the city currently being overrun by Nuclear pokemon...if things started to get a little out of hand, that kind of power might be necessary to clean up the mess...)

'...don't give Mew any ideas about that, please...'

(Haha.  I jest, I jest.  Mostly.  It is but one potential solution to that issue.  A fairly straightforward, destructive, and obvious one, but a solution nonetheless.)

'...*sigh*...well, guess I better get back to brainstorming, then...'

(I'll leave you to it.  I enjoyed our bout, Child of Dragons.  Maybe we'll be a more even match the next time.  Until next time.)

[Lord Windos]

'...rats...well, that throws that plan out the window...well, I have one other idea, but I doubt that'll work...probably need to do it anyways, though...'

'Mew' floats back to Angelica and the spoils pretty quickly.

'Angelica, PLEASE don't say ANYTHING about what's happened to the others.  Leave the reveal to me, and be careful about how you address me.  Think what you want to say instead of saying it if you have to.  I'll still hear it.  And yes, I know about the shrine.  I know you figured out what happened due to the unique...bond we share, but the last thing we need right now is for anyone else to find out and panic before I've properly discussed this with Mew.  Yes, if you haven't figured that out yet, Mew is currently 'me.'  I don't know why...'

'Haaaa...alright, calm down, Reiner, calm down...this isn't the time to panic...breathe in...breathe out...yeah, I'm glad Looker didn't have the chance to use some of the more extreme stuff as well.  Particularly since the explosives probably would have cost us more than the Vampire, considering the amount of punishment that Ultra Beast could take.  A Horn Drill straight through the chest, and it's STILL somehow alive...though, weirdly, I also felt a little...loyalty when I captured it...something I'll probably have to deal with later...I appreciate your concern over me using this stuff.  It shows you've got a good heart.  I deal with a lot of stuff that warrants the usage of these kinds of items, though, so I'd rather have the option than not.'

'Anyways...I think going to the hotel is probably off limits at this point since we can't seem to rouse 'me.'  We'll have to rouse Looker, wake Mina and explain what happened, and then likely retreat to the Center...there's still time for Emily to meet Mina...it'll just probably have to be without 'me' and not at the original location...I'm sure the Center should work, though...Mina will probably want to be somewhere safe after tonight regardless, and there's no safer place than there.'

'Well, let me just put all those items in Reiner's bag real quick...on the plus side, having 3 Max Revives is better than 2...oh, but these aren't going in the bag.  Nope, using them right away.  Please forgive me for doing this to you, my friend...'

Both Rare Candies end up being fed to 'Reiner.'  Mew probably wasn't going to be very happy with that...on the plus side, though, 'Mew' now feels MUCH more filled with Vitality (and so do the rest of Reiner's pokemon)!  [Halving Vitality both times to level it up to 4 for 15 EXP and 5 for 20, for a total of 35 EXP spent.  That's one stat maxed out.  Any side effects for Rare Candies ala the Carbos, or are they as is?]

'Okay, if that doesn't wake 'him' up, nothing will except time...'

[Fun Fact: Using a Rare Candy on a pokemon in the games revives them if they're fainted (mostly due to gaining HP, but it will still revive Shedinja even though it can't gain any adidtional HP).  Not sure if that'll work here, but hey, it's worth a shot since it technically isn't a healing item!  Might work on Kyubi, Felicia, Weavile, and Shiinotic, at the very least.  Probably not on Arbok though if it doesn't work on 'Reiner'...]

(*A timer appears on the T.U.V.E.I. that reads 'Showtime!' , before it and your monitor abruptly vanish!*)


The police officer startled and blushes in embarrashment at the fact that 'you' knew about her secret place of worship, but then a strange, fae thought occurred to her, one that you were quick to pick up on due to being so focused on them: 'Waaaaa, my lord knows about my shrine for him! ....wait, that mean our (Blissey and Angelica) offerings and prayers must have empowered our eternal beloved master to the point of ascesion! Praise be his name, and may all one day know his splendor, glory, and power like we do! Now that he knows, I can ask him specifically what would be the best way to honor him and......' , followed by a burst of absolutely giddiness bubbling up from within from this revelation of hers. Knowing her, she probably is attributing it to you right now and thinking up even more way to further pay tribute towards, all while fully prepared to resume her duties as a police officer or your personal guard.

Oh, the joys of having a fundamentally brainwash servent that adores you in every way imaginable....

A little more time passes before her newfound joy diminishes to more 'reasonable' level as she processed everything else you had to say, before giving you a slight, but firm nod of their head, now sporting a semi weird serious yet delight smile. 'I shall do as you command, sir! I'll administer the PP Up on Looker while you go check up on Mew and deposit the Items in their bag, and keep watch for any more threats that come our way! Though...no, I shouldn't impose on you. Thank you for your gracious support, my lord...' she thought, directing it squarely on you this time instead of one of them randomly manifesting to you mind's eye. Well, at the very least, you won't have to worry about he conscious eating away at her while the night drags on [and on and on and on....]!

Once you put away the items and cram those Rare Candies down your/'your' throat, you waited precisely 1 minutes , observing the still (but still breathing) for of 'Reiner'...when their eyes snap open and they lurch to the side, violently coughing and gagging at both the sudden jury rigged Revive and the cloying sweet yet still bitterly sour taste of those Rare Candies! Looks like Rare Candies CAN work as revives in a pinch, eh? Additionally, you somehow detect that the potent medicine is still affecting their body, and you guess that the candy ALSO halves the cost of Skills too! Now that is the type of treatment both of you needed! Kyubi , Felicia, Weavile, but NOT Shiintonic or Arbok also revive at 2 HP, with the fire fox in question suddenly going *FOOWMP!* as her fur frazzled and puffed from the sympathetic surge of power brought along the Rare Candies, though unfortunately that did not mean she was getting out of Emily's grapple/medical treatment until she was good and bloody fully restored! Speaking of the little miss, she turn over to both you and 'Reiner' and guess you an anxious but extremely happy smile of relief that 'you' are alright, before turning her attention once more and clamping donw even harder on the fussing kitsune as they tried to redouble their efforts to break free and start freating over 'you' once more.

"Bleeeeeeeegggh, eeeeeyuuuuuck, patowie!!!! Uuuuugggh.....ok, whoever force feed me Rare Candy and subjected my taste buds to such nasty, icky, Arceas awful flavors, 'cause I got a piece of my mind back by Psychic energies to lay into them! Ugggh....and why do I feel even MORE weakened despite those fiendish THINGS working their magic on....me? Wait....my VOICE?! is acting up too?! *$%#!  That Ultra Beast...I was going to telekinetically tear it a new asshole for everything else it has done to us and for merely existing when it should NOT, but it looks like I'll have my work cut out for me creating an even more humiliating way to show that bug how much we appreciate their muscle show. Reiner, what's the status of the battle, and who the fuck gave me...." 'Mew' quietly yet fiercely whispering to both themselves and you as they leaned up from the group with an astonishing amount of ease despite 'his' new body, before they turned instinctively towards your direction and just froze.

'His' eyes widened and shrunk SEVERAL times in quick succession at the sight of themselves hovering over them, before they just as quickly glance down at themselves and seeing 'Reiner's' body move in sync with her motions when by all rights it SHOULDN'T. "What....what the FUCK!? WHAT THE FUCKING DISTORTED WORLD IS THIS ABOUT?! @#$%#@#%@#$%@#%@#%@#%@%##@!!!!!!!!!" 'he' says, to much in Pain and 'his' throat too sore to raise it up from more than a harried, confused, yet vividly irritated growly whisper that just sent shivers down your spine. So this is what you should like when you are stress out? No wonder all the other Grunts avoided you like the plague when you got upset over something! Well, besides not wanting to incur the wrath of your powerful and viscous Pokémon, of course!

[Dragonstrike]

(Funny.  Angelica came to the same conclusion as I did...mostly.  I'd recommend you tell...oh look, she's awake.  Welcome back to the world of the conscious, Mew.  And yes, Reiner, she can hear me, even though I am technically speaking to you.)

'Well, isn't that just plain convenient...look, uh...we need to talk, Mew.  Privately.  No speaking, okay?  And don't panic, because if you do, I'm going to panic, and nothing is going to end well for either of us.'

It's a VERY good thing that Zen State's effects are lingering for the rest of the night, as panic would have already set in if it wasn't...

[Lord Windos]

Mew jerk their head in even more bafflement at hearing Dragonstrike's 'voice' [presense might be a more accurate term] permeating the very fabric of reality between the two of them, before 'his' eyes impossible narrowed and they let out a low, most definately furious hiss.

'Windos, you fucking BASTARD!!! Why in all of creation and beyond would you do such monumentally, tremendously, unequvicoally HORRIBLE THING of making him sparking 4TH WALL AWARE!!!!!!  GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! '

....Well, she's not panicking or screaming 'his' lung out in the open Night air, so I suppose she's paying your words some mind as she rages against me and the course of events leading up to this point.

'I swear if you don't get off that 'throne' of yours and answer my DAMN QUESTION, I'll....I'll....!'

In an instant, the world froze once more, this time with 'Mew' and 'Reiner' now stuck in the gap between seconds, though they thankfully could move around instead of being welded in one spot of space. Small Blessing indeed.

(Enough, Mew. Reiner might be 'aware' of some of the intricacies of the world, but they have copped well with such Insight thrusted upon them, and appear to have adapted their worldview to accommodate this knowledge without it driving him mad or eating away at them until they are nothing more than a bundle of twitching, paranoid nerves. Raising hell about this now would only served to unbalance him and potentially lead him into an existial crisis, so CALM DOWN.)

'Windos! Don't you DARE tell me to simmer down, not after you did this to him! Just because he can handle the Truth doesn't mean he should, as NO ONE, least of all a mortal and most of all not someone as so important to me and the world itself as them should have to suffer from the revelation! So what in YOUR NAME POSSESSED YOU TO....!'

(Before you unleash the full extent of your rage and try to give me the father of all migranes, I want to say that it wasn't me that caused this. Not directly or intentionally, at any rate.)

'TAROUS SHIT, you blowheart! EVERYTHING is a result on your influence and control of the world and its affairs, ESPECIALLY the bad stuff, so if you believe I would buy that idea for even a fraction of a second....!'

(Not everything is under my control, Mew. Reiner, Arial, perhaps Mina and Mitchel, Valarie, Arceas, you, and various other Legends, Mythics, and an odd number of people fall squarely outside of my limitations. Even within the boundries of my powers, not everything is follows a strict and rigid design, and you know all this full well, so if I can't claim ignorance in these events, neither can you.)

'No one else in this universe besides me, Arceas, and other high power Legends can conduct a perfect body-soul swap while simultaneously opening a person's eyes to the True Nature of All Thing Here, so when I say Tarous shit, I fucking....!

(You are forgetting someone that CAN , Mew. That, or you are ignoring such knowledge. Either way, I can't honestly fault you for overlooking them, since its something I dearly wish I could do myself....)

'....Wait....you don't mean....? Is it.....?'

(Its Them. They took an interest in him, and decided to rendor their aid unto the both of you when Reiner was knocked out by Buzzwole. Your partner can inform you of the details better than I can, I believe; they experienced it all themselves, after all.)

'.....Oh GOD no. No. '

(Yes. ....I'm sorry.)

'We...we banished them, Windos. We ALL did, so how, how could they?!'

(They have their ways, Mew. They always have their ways. What is done, is done, I'm afraid, and we'll just have to roll with it until we can sort this all out. ....I'm sorry about this.)

'...'

(...)
"Hehehe.... yes, yes I do, but I'm unwilling to reveal my tricks to you all.  At least, not right now! It be very poor form to spoil myself before I make a true appearance in this little story of yours, so you two will just have to wait. HeheheHA!"

[Dragonstrike]

(Mew, are you and Windos talking about who I think you are?  If so, I'm worried.  This man with Black and Gold eyes talked to me directly, outside of the realm he should be able to.  And seeing as he also mentioned the Cursed Arms and that collecting and overpowering them are related to when he will appear...I'd be worried enough about the fact that he was able to exploit the power of Blissey's Wish to even cause you and Reiner to swap bodies in the first place, but this...)

'Wait, you've talked to him?'

(Well, yes and no.  He's made comments where no person from your world should be able to, responding to some notes I had taken, taunting both you and I.)

'Oookkkaaayyy...hang on, wait a moment...what the heck is this 4th wall you guys mentioned?'

(Simply put, it's the ability to break the boundaries between worlds and interact with universes other than your own to a limited degree.  As Mew, that's a power you naturally have.  That's how you were able to practice in that game you played while the world was on pause.)


'So I could, in theory, visit your world and converse with you there?'

(Sort of...Mew can tell you more about that.  I won't go into detail because it's related to what we're not telling you right now.  Again, Mew can break the news to you better than we would be able to.)

'Great...'

(Back on track...Mew, you and Reiner need to figure out just what the heck you're going to do about swapping bodies.  Arial's been kidnapped by the Vampire, who's gotten away (He's fine for now, surprisingly, but that could change quickly.  Buzzwole is also a non-issue now.  We'll explain in a moment).  Clair's coming tomorrow afternoon.  Windos has arranged for Reiner's mom to visit soon to tie up some loose ends from his past.  You need to meet Valarie on Saturday to discuss future plans.  There's still 2 more Cursed Arms in the city, and one of them is in the damned fallout zone, which I'm sure you would love to see obliterated by Genesis Supernova (which is possible to do in theory once we pick up some of Petrel's Z-crystals.  Windos has informed me of the specifics of doing so, and I have informed Reiner in turn as well).)

(And most importantly: are you going to tell everyone else here what happened (besides Petrel and Mina.  Oh yes, right, Mina's alive again, just so you know)?  Angelica knows already because of that...bond she and Reiner have.  But the others are completely oblivious right now because Reiner has endeavored to not tell them without discussing this with you first.)

'Ya know, I could have told her all of that.'

(Well, Mew knows my word is as good as yours.  Again, she can explain it to you later.)

'...*sigh*...'
