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

[Dragonstrike]

Leaving the gentle soul to his work, you enter the left wing of the clinic, traveling at the way down the long hallway, being stopped only a couple of times by the inquisitive orderlies bustiling around the area, before you reach the victim's room. Knocking a few time to be polite and as to not startle whoever is on the other side, you quietly open the door and entering the room. You were about to close the door, but froze at the sight of just who the mystery woman was. Covered up and laid up, looking pale, guant, irritated, and somewhat surprised herself was none other than Ariana, the Team Rocket Executive second only to Archer and Giovanni himself (And perhaps you too!) !

"Reiner? Boy, what on earth are you doing HERE of all places? No one but the Boss knows my current status and location, so you have absolutely no reason what so ever to be here, other than him sending you to check up on me personally. *Hrrrrrgggh* Well, you're here regardless, so what are your orders and mission? Close the door behind boy while your still standing there; I don't want any of those pests out their easedropping on us, so do it!"

Reiner's pretty quick to close that door.  Quietly.  He addresses her much the same way he does with Proton: respectfully.

"I could ask the same of you, except I already know a little of what you're doing here from talking with Major Samael.  And I do have good reason to be here, actually, and it's not because the boss sent me.  The young woman accompanying me as of this morning is one reason why I'm in the building, though that's not likely to be something anyone except Proton is at least partially aware of currently.  I saved her life, and now she's sticking to me like glue so I can make sure she stays alive.  She's also quite the fighter herself despite appearances, and is doing her best to make sure I stay safe too, so I think it's in my best interest to make sure I'm prepared for the eventuality that she might get attacked.  Besides, I'm sure the boss would appreciate it somewhat if I managed to take out the scoundrel that attacked you, even if it is supposed to remain hush hush."

[Lord Windos]

The red head notices the disguised kitsune the moment you pointed her out, blinks her eyes a couple of times in dull surprise, before shaking her head and grumbling to both herself and you two. "Fucking hell, am I still that out of it to miss spotting her hanging off your shoulder like that? Or have the nurses been dosing my food with de-stress medication again!? Grrr....those timid little cowards, can't deal with my demands or myself without resorting to drugging me, can they? Well, I'll show them just how caustic I can be, when the next one comes in and tries to fuss over me for the uptenth million time!"

Kyubi, for her part, choose to remain silent for the time being, as while see wasn't too intimidated by the boisterous and temper mental Rocket Executive, that didn't necessarily mean she wanted to be a potential target for their ire. She can handle threats to her Master's safety and wellbeing perfectly fine, whether they be a horribly insane/violent people or a viscous/deadly Pokémon, but interacting with people other than her master and his friends? Not the easiest task for an socially inept amnesiac like her, especially if said person is voilitile as Ariana right now.The kitsune will let her master handle taking with others for the time being, while she does her duty protecting him right his side and being a comforting, snuggly presence if needed!

"Didn't take you for a Prince Charming type, Reiner, but then again you've always been unpredicatable to just about everyone but the Boss himself, so what the fuck do I know? I don't care what company you keep, since you are not my Grunt to baby sit and have proved more competent than most other, so do whatever you like with her. If she can bail your ass out of the trouble you always get up into and save Proton a couple hundred bucks on Aspirin for the headaches you cause him, even better!" your superior said, letting out a short crackle at the never ending mess you always seem to leave for her fellow Executive, before it trialed of as she let out a tired, beleaguered sigh and rubbed her nose ridge in vexation.

"So that nosey bastard sent you here, thinking you can get answers out of me when he and his blue shirts failed to and do his job for him? Bah, that bastard just doesn't know when to just leave me the hell alone! *Sigh* Well, since he sent YOU of all people in the city to interrogate me about my run in with that Vampire bitch, and you have more than enough reason to go out their and kill that cunt muffin, I don't need to keep my mouth shut around you about her. Its not like you are going to rat the both of out to the fedsFirst off, if you didn't get with the descriptors I've been using, the Vampire is a literal bloody vamp. From my tango with them, they constantly hide in the shadows with their Pokémon, striking out at random times or when she could get away with it. They also took every opportunity to attack me until I was almost unconscious, then started to gang up and focus down my own minions. She also liked to use Potions non-stop, had her Shedninja spam Heal Block to prevent ME from healing my own Pokémon, and her Beautifly trying to Whirlwind my Pokémon away from me, the fucking nuisances! They also had a Pokémon that I didn't recognize at ALL, and I didn't get too good of a look at it before it punched my lights out. All that I saw was that it was red, big, bulky, muscular, and looked to be quadruped. Finally, she had this strange looking tazer in one of her hands at all times, and once she fired it on my Vileplume, she almost instantly started to wither away while they seemed to get buffer looking..."

Ariana went quiet at the last at the last tid bit of information she shared, looking even paler now that she remembered how her toxic flower's life was almost completely drained dry. The firey red head then let out a savage growl and shook her head, dispelling the disquiet she was feeling before giving you an ill tempered glare. "Grrrr....how I wish I could leave this bed and go out their break their spines into tiny little pieces, but I guess that is your job now. I've told you all I know about them, so get out of here and go kill them! The longer they still are breather, the longer they continue to make a mockery of me and Team Rocket...!"

[Dragonstrike]

"Unpredictability is the spice of life, ya know, and if I'm gonna keep up with it, I need a few surprises of my own.  I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't.  Proton's just going to have to deal with the headaches, because there's more incoming with how much trouble seems to be landing directly in my lap this week."

Reiner makes it a point to not comment on the Prince Charming comment.  Annoying or not, it was as good an explanation as any for why Kyubi was a little clingy.  Okay, VERY clingy.  But aren't all pokemon when they've bonded with their trainers?  Of course, there's still the fact that Kyubi isn't just a pokemon now...

"If it puts you in a better mood, I'm technically not working with the cops at all.  Volunteered to help since I have a stake in what's going on now and was probably going to encounter the 'Vampire' eventually anyways, and Samael essentially just hired me on the spot as a Police Consultant Detective for this case only.  Stand to get a little profit from it, but I'm working independently from the authorities even though they're gonna pay me for the work put in should I manage to take this Vampire down.  They just gave me what little info they had, said there was a sole survivor here they couldn't get answers from themselves, and left me to it."

Reiner swears after Ariana finishes describing the Vampire's strategy and the weapon that they wielded.  "They're gonna pay for what they've done.  Several times over.  I'll think of some way to shut them down.  Well, if that's all you have to say on the matter, I'll leave you to yelling at those worrywart nurses and go talk to the other patient I'm here to see.  That one, I have a work reason for.  And don't worry, I won't breathe a word about this conversation to anyone."

[Lord Windos]

"Kid, if that was true, I think you would have Scalded all of our (Executives and Giovanni) mouths and lite them on fire by this point. By Arceas, the shenanigans you and your Weavile get up to on a daily basis is simply astounding, and that Kingdra of yours isn't easy to clean up when she goes on a Dragon Dance fueled bender half way through a mission. Most often any fuck ups because of those two is because you bollocks up somethings and created a downward spiril that just keeps growing and growing... Your lucky the Boss and Proton are more lenienant with you than most other Grunts, 'cause if you pulled half the crazy, stup shit you do under my command? I'd let my Tyrannatar have a few round with you to be both our personal stress ball. Better be thankful their willing to put up with, Reiner!"

"...hahahahHAHAHAHA, THAT FUCKING MORON DID WHAT? Hahahaha.....*Wipes a tear from their eyes* thanks, kid, I need so humor to lighten up my day, and nothing beats making a fool out of those blasted, motherfucking feds, unintentionally or not! Hehehehe....ah, the irony, a Rocket Grunt doing the Police's job better than they ever could! See, this is one of the main reason I hate those blue shirted bastards: they are fucking useless at what their supposed to do! Even if its not our bloody damn job, Team Rocket ends up keeping the streets clean of crime and regulating what we leave FAR better than they do, and we become rich and wealthy in the process. They know that too, but those blue bitches STILL try to be an ever annoying thorn in our side, instead of just making a deal or plain fucking off to greener pastures! If I'd told them anything about the Vampire, they would be crawling over me right now trying to pick my life apart for every smigen of detail, instead of doing their JOB, so fuck if I'm going to tell them anything!"

At last line of response and your farewell, the firey tempered Executive hand snatched to grab your own and yanked you just millimeters away from her own face, staring into your eyes with ones filled with icy hot fury in her own that sends a shock of fear down your spine at its INTENSITY. "If you are going to squash that cunting monster, don't kill her. BRING HER TO ME INSTEAD. She's responsible for laying me up in this soft, coddling hell like this, and I want to repay for her kindness by taking it out of every. single. inch. of. her. flesh. Consider this an order from me, Reiner. Bring them here and KEEP YOUR FUCKING TRAP SHUT, and I'll personally reward you handsomely. Got it?! Then get going!"

Ariana then shoved you right back towards the door, Kyubi swooping in to cradle you as you fell backwards, prevent a painful reunion with the ground. Especially consider that it could have banged up your ankle again; that would be quite excruciating indeed!

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner scowls as he stands up again, but is quick to brush it off.  No need to anger/annoy/trigger Ariana further.  Nothing more needed to be said.  He simply walks out of the room as if nothing significant had happened in there after recomposing himself.

Time to go question the Druggie.

Time to go question the Druggie.

The walk to the Druggie's  room was a mostly sedate affair, though it livened up a bit when you heard the panicked shouts of an orderly walking in to check up on the tempermental red head, and what sounded like glass being shattered as she got louder, angry, and down right mean to the poor worker. Kyubi lets out a startled *Yip!* at the discordant racket, before she all but lifted you up and began sprinting to the other wing of the Clinic. She didn't think that Ariana would cause trouble for the whole left wing of the building, but the fire fox certainly didn't want her or their master to stick around and find out!

You make it to the Gregory Wasson's room in good time after your kitsune 'augmented' your walking speed, politely knock on the door once more, and then enters the room. You find the mad sitting in a big blue comfy chair, head leaned back against the head rest as he was snoozing away, while Granbulls and Parolees was playing on the mounted television in the room. You see a night stand by the chair, and on it a glass of water and pill case, each day of the week containing a variety of detox and stabilizing medications. Guess one of the side affects is severe drowsiness, judging he out of it the man was right now.

[Dragonstrike]

"You have got to be kidding me...why would they leave him with that stuff...?  *Sigh*...alright, let's do this the hard way then..."

First, Reiner turns off the TV.  He didn't really care for the show, and the fewer interruptions there were, the better.

Second, he summons Kingdra into the room!  

"Kingdra, hose him down with a restrained Water Gun please.  He can't answer my questions if he's asleep, after all, and I'm not in the mood to take my time with trying to wake him up."

[Lord Windos]

Kyubi closes the door behind you when you summon Kingdra into the room in a matter of seconds and blocks it off, clearly knowing that whatever you were about to do with sea dragon, it was not something that should be broadcasted to the entire clinic. That, and she really doesn't want to be dosed with a blast of water by a the potentially vengeful Dragon type, no matter how outlandish the idea may. Could the fear that the kitsune harbored for them have carried over in some part in this new life of hers? Hmm...

Kingdra carries out your orders expediently, letting a small control bullet of water on the elderly men, hoping to awaken him!

Gregory's Sleep Check: Insight (3) + Water Gun (5)
(1)(6)(4)(1)(1)(3)(3)(1) Wow

Either the Druggie is a heavy sleep, or the doctors here have him on some SERIOUS medication, as the weakened blast of water didn't phase the man at all! If anything, he seemed even more relaxed when the move drenched him, as he mumbling about swimming along the pearly coasts of Fushsia in his deep slumber...

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner faceplams.  "Makes me wish I had a pokemon with Wake-up Slap...might have to invest in one at this rate...alright, fine.  If Water Gun didn't work, we'll have to try something a little more powerful.  Let's add some salt water into the mix.  Kingdra, Brine."

Brine
Accuracy: Going to hit, but will it crit?
(5)(2)(5)(5)(3)(4)(5)(1)(4)(1)(1)(2) The sea water violently is expelled onto Gregory! Critical Hit!
Damage: STR (3) + 2 + STAB + Crit (*3) - Vitality (3) = 6D6 Damage
(4)(6)(5)(6)(6)(6) Gregory takes 6 Damage; 1/8 HP Remaining

Gregory's Awakening Check: Insight + Brine (7) - Already being drenched (2) = 8D6 Dice
(2)(3)(3)(1)(5)(5)(2)(2) 2 Success, 2/5 Needed to wake him up

In spite of being almost double knocked out by the deep sea dragon queen pressured aqueous blast, the former(?) drug addict was STILL sleeping completely sound, though he was now mumbling about a Krabby pinching him in the legs. Yeap, must be the medicine that keeping him sedated, if a power blast scrubbing doesn't phase them at all. Hmm...perhaps you can swipe his meds for himself?
