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

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner just (dead) calmly watches her slink back into the shadows...

...

...alright, time to get out of this rain and dry off.

He has some people to talk to.

Starting with...well, probably Mr. Mime, since the butler is probably going to be the one who greets him at the door.

Starting with...well, probably Mr. Mime, since the butler is probably going to be the one who greets him at the door.

Reiner's guess proves to be spot on, for no sooner than the ride up to your penthouse suit (hard as it is to believe you own it now) than you reunited with the psychic butler, bowing to you respectfully as you exited the elevator as he greeted you.

"Good evening, Mr. Arendse, and I must say that you look positively imposing (his tone says he means this in a good way) in that new suit of yours. Hopefully the guard didn't give you any trouble because of it, though, but if they have you can always send an invoice about it to Hotel Management, and they have everything sorted out with due haste sir."

Mr. Mime scans you, only a small frown tugging on the tips of his lips any indication of what he's gleaned (if anything), before he continues on, one hand gesturing to the front door to the suite while the other was crossed on his chest as he did so.

"Now, judging by how......exhausted you appear, I image today's business must have worn heavily on you, but you don't have to speak of it if you prefer to keep your privacy. I have.......several things I need to discuss with you, and truth be told none of the topics are positive, but would you rather have the chance freshen up and enjoy dinner first , or would you prefer to hear it all now, sir? None of what I have to tell is urgent, so there is no reason why you couldn't have some respite before we speak at length over those....matters."

"Just get it over with.  I'd rather not potentially get in a good mood only to have it ruined mere moments later."

"Whoosh. Thanks Mutios." Arial was relieved to her okay and awake from her stat. "It's indeed very good. I have forget how much hungry I am after the battle. My body might be heal but I still need to recover my stamina. Even more today since we are going to face a nuclear facility filled with Nucmons..."

When Mr. Mime bring the fruits Arial release his pokemos, along with his new Alomomola. "Friends, meet Alomomola, the newest member of our team. Carracosta is for now out for a vacation with training session with Nelly. To help her calm her behavior and all. She will return soon but I would to like if you guys could be with her and introduce yourselves." Then Arial talk with Alomomola. "Be welcome Alomomola. The name Arial. Nelly, your trainer, trade with me and now I your new friend. She is a friend of mine. Feel welcome in our team. Feel free to eat too if you feel hungry. Durandel please be nice with her."

Then Arial talk again with Riza. "I gladly you are stuffed and not thristy." Then Arial noticed the way Riza avoid to look him about drinking blood and anything. He feel simpátic with her and Arial put a hand in her shoulder to make her feel better. "Hey Riz. Don't feel that way. It's not your fault. You must drink because it's something you need to do to survive. If you feel like that, then it's a good signal to show you not lost your humanity. I should have do more to get rid of that blood thristy." Then Arial touched Tobias to think for a second. "So much power and I was not able do more for you. I sorry..."

Then Arial begin again with the question. "Anyway, I have a few questions indeed. I did notice you were watching my Pokemon battle with Nelly back there. And I may not be a psychic but I did notice you feel a little.... I don't know. Uncomfortable I guess? Is something bothering you Riz? You can tell anything. We are partners and friends remember? You can count with me."

Due to my the original reply being lost to the winds before I had the chance to back it up, I will now give you the cliff notes version of what happened. Once again, I say this with emphasis: FUCK YOU INTERNET GERMLINS.

- Riza becomes nervous and concerned when you mention your poor condition and hunger, before she suddenly lifts you up and gently places you on the couch, before grabbing and giving you your plate of food, urging you to eat and get better/stronger.

-Alomomola is well liked among almost ALL your Pokémon due to her calm, kind, and caring aura and the soothing/rejuvenating energy she exudes due to her Healer ability, and the feeling is mutual for the most part. The exceptions are Sekmet and Durendal (technically not YOUR Pokémon, but he like to hang around), who don't like how nosy/intrusive she is (She starts to give all your Pokémon medical examinations) for their own reasons. Sekmet doesn't like her personal space being invaded or being touched unless its Arial doing both, and Durendal just wants to not be fussed over by another nurse after being treated for their Lethal injuries today. They'll likely warm up to her eventually, though!

-Bug Lady doesn't say anything in response to your reassuring words, but she does give the indication she greatly appriecates them and you, like always, and ends up feeling better/more happy.

-That doesn't last when you begin questioning her presense around your battle against Nelly, as her mood goes sour and disgruntled/wary. She explains in so many words that she was watching the battle just in case something bad happened and needed to intervene, and that she doesn't like nor trust Nelly. You suspect such feelings are due to jealousy and her elevated defensivenss when it comes to you, though you don't quite know how to fix this.

-Regarding you lecture on Nuclear types in general, she actually explains she's been to Tandor and encountered them before (though not exactly like that, but that is what Arial can easily infer), and WELL knows the dangers they pose and how to counter them. She says she'll try to find a Steel/Bug on your orders, but that it might take her awhile to track one down and catch it (At least half a day, during which time she can't be contacted or sent to do other tasks). At your words of taking it easy, she visibly relaxes and lets out a happy *Chittering* sound, as that means she doesn't have to worry about her precious Arial putting himself in more harm's way while he's banged up.

That should be all, so respond to this however you like Spiritmon!

"Just get it over with.  I'd rather not potentially get in a good mood only to have it ruined mere moments later."

A small sigh exited the psychic butler as he closed his eyes in thought/contemplation, before he opened them and looked at you with the calm dignity and professionalism you've come to expect from him.

"Very well Mr. Arendse, I'll begin with the least pressing matter that needs to be addressed. Namely, it concerns your bodyguard Arial Copycat, and his activities while you were gone for the day. He....."

Mr. Mime then proceeds to tell you how he escaped from the Aurum Vex. and sought to help you fight against Clair but ended up nearly getting done in by a Explosion coming from a Delta Muk, before he went to the Pokémon Center to be treated for his injuries and later fought an Ace Trainer, becoming friends in the process. He explains that Arial only disobeyed orders because he was highly worried about your wellbeing and desired to fulfill his role as being your bodyguard, before saying he's in the living room right now with Riza eating dinner.

After giving you a moment to react to this, the telekinetic servant moved on to the next topic of interest, his tone still proper and composed as ever.

"The next concern that requires your input has to do with Ms. Mab and the Young Miss Emily. To begin, the two meet in the lobby, and by all intents and purposes they appeared to have becomes fast friends. Ms. Mab then escorted them both to her room, presumably to show Emily her art and offer her own advice as to how to improve as an artist. Roughly an hour later, Emily exited the room with....an undue amount of force, looking to be extremely agitated as she ran to her room, where she has since locked herself in. Naturally I checked in on Ms. Mab to see what trigger such a adverse response, and found her to be in a distraught state as she appeared to be packing up her equipment and personal effects. I tried asking her what was the matter, but she refused to answer besides informing me she's leaving Celadon City by tomorrow morning poste haste. Forgive me for not being able to resolve this matter myself or learn more about this, but both women have been intractable to my aid and investigations, so I have no other choice but to involve you in this. I imagine you would wish to look into this yourself regardless, but I still wish I had more information to share with you on this spat, sir."

Finally, after another pause to gather both your thoughts, Mr. Mime moved on to the last topic. This time, however, he seemed to sage inwards as he started, a deeply troubled and uncomfortable frown on his face as he tried to avoid your gaze. Ruh Roh.

"........That last thing I you need to know is about Ms. Sterling. She......requested that she be the one to tell you about it, so I can't say anything further without defying her wishes. I can tell you that she's.....she's not in the best state right now."

Silence. Tense enough to slice it with a butter knife. Oh boy....

[Dragonstrike]

Reiner closes his eyes in thought.

"...where's Kyubi right now?"

[Lord Windos]

Reiner closes his eyes in thought.

"...where's Kyubi right now?"

".....She's in your bedroom, sir. I brought dinner to her just a little while ago, before you came up."

[Dragonstrike]

".....She's in your bedroom, sir. I brought dinner to her just a little while ago, before you came up."

"I'll go talk to her first, then. Go tell her I'm on my way, please. I need to dry off first before I talk to anybody. If you could bring my dinner to the room as well, that'd be lovely."

[Lord Windos]

".....She's in your bedroom, sir. I brought dinner to her just a little while ago, before you came up."

"I'll go talk to her first, then.  Go tell her I'm on my way, please.  I need to dry off first before I talk to anybody.  If you could bring my dinner to the room as well, that'd be lovely."

Mr. Mime suddenly looked apprehensive as you relayed the order, as he pulled at his collar in discomfort and answered with a bit of hesitation in his voice.

"Erm.....Ms. Sterling requested rather.....strongly that she was not to be disturbed by anyone other than you sir, and in the mood she is now......well, it wouldn't be beyond her to start spewing flames at unwelcome intrusions. At least, that is how she reacted when in a foul temper took her prior to her resurrection, and speaking as someone who has bore the brunt of her ire on one occasion, I would prefer to 'let sleeping dragons lay'. Of course, I can still alert her if that is your wish. As for drying off and dinner......"

The butler words trailed off as he fixed your body with a firm gaze, before reaching out and *Snapping!* his fingers, which causes all the droplets of water clinging to your form to disperse, converted into its vapor form by skilled application of his Psychic powers!

"It is done, and it will be brought to your room. Dinner tonight is finely seasoned pot Milktank roast, served with braised carrots and potatoes. If that is not to your preference, the kitchen can always make something more to your liking in short order."

"Oh, did she now?  Very well then."

That demonstration of psychic power was pretty cool.  'I'll have to see if I can't do that myself at some later point...much later, but still technically possible...'

"...that sounds fine.  Bring it up to my room."

Well, a clunking up to Reiner's room to meet Kyubi we go.  Hopefully Kyubi isn't to put off by the new gear...
