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

[Spiritmon]

"Nope. I cant afford that yet. I not a fool you know? First let me talk with her. Then I fetch you with information. That information its the only assurance I have for now. I a madman but not idiot." Arial is really cautious. He doesnt really believe in Reiner. He must act as bussiness man. If you want something, you must have something this person is interest to fetch his curiosity. If you give right away them what they want, that person will not acomplished the deal. It all just a matter of bussiness.

'...*grumble grumble*...and who am I if I believe the ravings of a madman?  What could he possibly know about that wasteland that's so important?'

(If I may jump in for a moment, it actually is really important information.  But that's all I can say on the matter.)

'...seriously?  Ugh...fine.'

'Mew' converses with 'Reiner' again...

"You'll get your chance to talk to her when we're at the hotel.  No sooner.  That information better be important."

[Spiritmon]

(Thank you Dragonstrike)

"Do not worry. It will. I a madman, but a madman with word." Arial takes a second when he was look to his pipe and gestures with a nod. "That pipe sure help me a lot against that Vampire. I think I will keep it. As a luck charm. I dont know when I will need smack down some skulls with that thing again."


Action: Keep the Bludgeon in the inventory. Oh and the plunger too! For that moments you need one and dont have. Who knows? Arial is a madman.

'Mew' converses with 'Reiner' again...

"You'll get your chance to talk to her when we're at the hotel.  No sooner.  That information better be important."

(Ohohohoho, you just don't like the fact that for once you don't have all the cards in this situation, Reiner! Of course, given how abrasive Arial is towards others, I can hardly blame you for being annoyed by this!)

The exchange/bartering for what future Riza would have in the coming days between 'Reiner' and Arial was meet with a variety of reaction from the group member that oversaw it, none of them particularly ethusied. For the Pokémon present: Yang looked faintly irritated that the woman responsible for unleashing BUZZWOLE upon them and brutally tearing into him/his trainer could be spared, and Kyubi was glaring/slightly snarling at the madman with all the righteous igdignation she could muster for daring to suggest such. After all the death she has caused and nearly murdering her Master and Love, the fire fox was in no way inclined to give the Vampire anymore leeway than the metaphorical rope on her neck would allow. She was liable to just toast the blood sucking Bug Lady and be done with the matter if she got riled up enough about this, as her Master wellbeing was her number one priority, not gaining wealth or information!

Angelica looked fairly surprised/disturbed that the dubiously reliable and most definitely deranged bodyguard was sticking up for what was a literal bloody murderous/predatory monster. She was also definitely uncomfortable with the plan to fool her fellow police officers + have her master/lord/the highest and most divine being/perfection made flesh enact some vigilante justice , shuffling her feet and wringing her hands with a worried/unhappy look on her face. You knew she would accept any and all orders/plans of action made by you, and happily so if you stipulated that as well, but still....might be a good idea to talk with her about this later, among other things. If she's your servant, it would behoove you to learn a little more about her, right? Emily was a much simplier person to read, as she was mostly furious at the though of letting her idol's murder (sorta) and countless other women scot free, and looked/felt ready to start cussing up a storm/hit Arial over that idea of his. Additionally, she didn't appreciate the fact that he was manipulation her hero into doing the 'wrong' thing in her opinion, so that was another black mark on the madman's portrait in her artpad.

Your partner in crime, though.....well they were also irritated by Arial playing on your desire to gather more intelligence like the slot machines at the Rocket Casino, but not to the same extent as Kyubi or Emily (One of 'his' eyes was twitching, though). 'By Arceas, does that crazy buffoon ever stop coming up with asinine ideas, and roping the both of us in them!? I swear if his mind was not like broken glass held together by a mass of insanity flavored pudding, I'd just have you rip the info he ransoming straight out of his skull and give him a nice throatling for that stupid idea of his! *Mentally Sighs* Still, I'd be lying like a Zoroark if I said I wasn't curious why The Vampire was so gentle with him instead of treating them and his Pokémon to a world of pain, and learning more about this....woman's condition would help us decide what the heck we really want to do with them. If that fool can somehow tame this 'Bug Lady' , we'd also have a unnaturally good assassin working with the group, but given his track ruinous track record and distorted personality, I'd sooner believe that I could bathe in lava and not get Burned than him being responsible and competent enough for that task. She'd also be able to control Buzzwole and keep it from becoming a problem for us in the future, so their is that to consider as well. *Sighs* Why can't this just be a simple matter to solve, instead of an over complicated mess from beginning to end? First Mina's murdered, then our body swap and related fallout, and now this, rrrrrrrgh.....!'

[Spiritmon]

Arial then decided to talk a bit with the group. "I know, I know. Its a bad idea. Lets make this deal people: When I finish talk with her, you all can do whatever you want with me. Kyubi, you torch me like a flambé like you did this morning. Emily, you can blush some mustacho or something in my face or anything like that. And Officer...I dont really know. Gust me with Crobat or something? You can discount your grudges in me if thats make you all better. Besides I only want to talk with her. There is not certain to work anyway. If I fail you all can have your revenge right? Besides..." There Arial makes a serial face. "I maybe a madman, a hater of humanity in general, but a curious one." Then Arial looks to Reiner. "Remember what I say to you when we first meet?"

Spoiler

Quick flashback time, when Arial meet for the first time when Reiner fights Malcolm

"Besides dont you are interest about how this story will end old man?"

"That still continues. I interest to see what kinda of path you are able to make Reiner. Like I say, just let me try. You know there a chance. 50% to 50%. And if I succeed, we might have a strong ally in our side. If I fail..." Arial shrugle his shoulders. "Well, its two problems for you to worry. Besides, I the owner of the TPK, so insanity is my middle name."

Action: Simple let the words in the air and see the reaction of Mew and the rest of the gang.

[Lord Windos]

Seeing as you ('Mew') didn't have much more to say about their additional comments on Arial's foolishness, 'Reiner' interpreted that as you being fed/displeased up with his antics the same as everyone else, and decided that it be best to continue that janky line of discussion later when tempers have cooled. Besides, an abandoned warehouse/serial killer's base right next to a hive full of easily provoked GTH Beedrill was hardly the most comfortable place for any sort of conversation, and the fiery vixen looked liable to conjure up an Inferno and ashify the Vampire if she became any more agitated/protective than she already is right now, hard as that is to imagine!

Eventually, you disguised best friend come tromping up the stairs of the place and reunited with the group, nodding his head in approval when he saw Yang hogtieing the bloody serial killer, briefly regarding their 'uniqueness' with a baffled and faintly disturbed look, before shaking it off quickly and regarding the whole group with a tired yet calm, confidant, and composed gaze. "Ottimo lavoro, miei compagni! After a long, ardous night filled with peril from this world and beyond, The Vampire has been successfully been subdued and detained, and with that her blood soaked reign over the streets of Celadon has come to an end! I've also done a sweap of the entire warehouse with your felines and Rhyxemplar, Reiner, and have turned up nothing suspect or dangerous, so its all clear on this place as welll!" 'Looker' turns towards the madman, and gives his a smile and thumbs up! "Arial, great job at knocking her and preventing what could have been a costly battle over her home turf, as if her assault this night has proved she is a most diabolical and ferocious combatant! While minimal until now, your help was essential in the grand scheme of things, so I'll be sure to put in a good word for you at the Police Department and see you are rewarded for your efforts!"

The faux dectective then faces 'you' ,grabs 'his' hand, and give them a firm handshake with a thankful/proud expression gracing their face. "My partner, thank you for your assistance in bring down this fiend, and in the process protecting the lives innocent women in this fair city, like your girlfriend and our fellow police officer! (Both women blushed at such flattery, cooling down tension somewhat in the process)! In return for this support and being thoroughly abused by her brutish abomination, you may keep the Items you took off from my person, as I brought them along specifically to deal with that creature, and I trust you'll use them responsibly" He then gives you a wink and smirk only you can see as he says the last part, knowing  full well and in no uncertain terms you'll be abusing them to the hilt the first chance you get. Petrel knows you so well, hehehe! He also knows that you have the Vampire's Pokémon, but trust you to handle them yourself, and doesn't comment on it for now. After this private exchange, 'Looker' addresses the women beholden to you (one way or another), saying to them : "Angelica, I'll see to it that for your own diligant and brave efforts made tonight that you'll get a promotion for this and a nice bonus for you to do with what you please. Kyubi and Emily, don't think I've forgotten how brave and helpful the both of you ladies have been tonight, so I'll be sure to compensate each of you too!"

You best friend's words had an almost magical effect on everyone, as the his boldness and congradulatory manner helped dispelled most of the simmering tension and animosity built up over poor? Riza, getting them all to ease up and even smile a bit, and accomplishing what Arial tried and failed to do with his own reassurance/promises.  Yeap, good old Petrel, charming and charismatic as ever, no matter what disguise he dose or role he plays! With everyone now in much better spirits, 'Looker' regarded them all once more with a beaming grin on their face and an hearty laugh, and then telling them all: "Now, are we ready to retire for the night, thrown the Vampire in the slammer and throw away the key, and begin our celebration?!"

Everyone let out a loud cheer of "YEAH!" , elated that this looooooooooooooooooong Thursday night was now more or less over, and soon after exited the warehouse, making their way to the Aurum Vex. as 'Reiner' request/instructed everyone do on your behalf. He also informed Petrel of the plan to detain the Vampire/Riza themselves and question them (Not mentioning the original plan/Reablitation until it was definitely decided upon) , and got a firm nod of approval. Alls well that ends well, right?

Weavile's and Felicia Tag Team Friskery!
Item: (3) Rarity: (8) + 2 = 10

Well, the night just got even better, for the felines managed to find a Revival Herb growing around the building as they left! Don't that beat all?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its is now Thursday Dusk


The trip to the Aurum Vex. was an expedient one, with no serial killers, deranged couples, or brutal national guards barring your way, and you soon were standing in front of the entrance to what could be accurately described as the most expensive place to say the night this side of the western hemisphere. You could feel the tangible aura of Wealth and Power just standing at the entrance to the place , which had an understated design that only the richest and most luxerous place on earth could pull of. The Aurum Vex. didn't need to prove anything to anyone; It was just that elite. Almost everyone became intimidated as they stared at the doorway leading into the place, very much feeling the imposing aura the hotel gave off. You, Kyubi, and Arial were the only ones that were unaffected, as you frankly have suffered much sensations during this night alone, the fire fox felt a strange (to her) feeling of belonging and comfort , and the madman was just to crazy to be affect by such things.

How do you proceed, gentlemen?

[Spiritmon]

Arial took a seconds to see that big place and all his comments was: "That place look a lot more big in the TV. Rich people really like extravagant things I guess. And I the crazy one here. Welp, the world its a strange place I guess. What exatcly is this place? A prison? A sanatory? A gate to the hell? All the options?" Arial was quite interest in know in how to proceed now.

'Mew' reminds 'Reiner' that the information they need to get in is written down in Archie's ledger (and the needed information was stated here if we need a memory jogger ourselves).  Considering the staff don't ask questions so long as they get paid, there shouldn't be anything to be worried about.

It was going to be real nice to be in a safe, cushy, private penthouse after the mess that was tonight.

"It's only one of the safest places in the city.  So long as you can afford it, that is."

[Spiritmon]

"Well? What we waiting for? How about we ask a good plate of nice, delicious and good sushi to the room Gaspar?" Gaspar (who was in Arial shoulder) lick imagining the delicious sushi. "Man, I forget how much hungry that night was. Cant wait to sleep in a good couch." Then Arial heads up to the hotel.

'Ay yi yi...not just anyone can walk in there, ya know!  Ugh...come on, let's get in there before he makes a fool of himself because he doesn't have the funds...'
