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

[Lord Windos]

@Spiritmon : I couldn't find your last post for some reason, so I'm just going to use the version I archieved. Arial's messages begen with the first word of that given block of text underlined, while the first word in Riza's/Mine Response blocks of text are bolded.

Arial was a little startled when Riza gentle take him to the couch and then she bring his food. He is not so much acostumed to receive this type of threat with a woman giving to him food (even its a cute bug-woman). He decided to focus in eating the food to reasuare her he will be okay. "Thanks Riz. I will of course eat something. Be almost exploded really open the appetite of someone." Then he vigorous begin to eat. He didnt know how much he was hungry.

Riza delightedly smiled and let out a pleased *Hzzzzm…..* of approval as you dug into your pot roast in earnest, nodding her head once in satisfaction. With a healthy and a voracious appetite like that and plenty of rest, her precious friend would be back in full fighting form, ready to Survive whatever the world throws at him once more! One thing is certain for her, though: she’s not leaving him alone ever unless given a BIG reason not to do so. The last time she was away he nearly was blown up by evil slime pile and ended up interacting with that Annoying Woman, so she must be extra vigilant for his safety for now on!

Arial was almost amused too see Durendal and Sekmet reaction about Alomolola. "Sekmet. Durendal. Be please dont be so much agressive towards our new team mate. She is not much acostumed and is kind her nature to take care of any pokemon including you two. Alomolola, please dont be so much evasive towards the space of others. Sekmet its a bit...private about her personal space get it? But I apreciatte your dedication as a Healer and nurse. Your help you be very much helpful." Arial then do a respectful bow towards her.

Your friendly neighborhood nuclear abomination continued to give the Cleric a leery, intense look at your gentle request, causing them to start to figit uncomfortably under her scrutiny…..until she let out a *Bzzzzzzzsssssk…..* noise that sounded her distorted version of a sigh and turned her away. If her master wanted her to play nice with the overly nosey fish thing, she would obey his request, even if she much rather like to have the option to make glowing green fish sticks out of the Alomomola if it became too nosy for its own good. Best be grateful for that, Cleric!

Your new resident caregiver, meanwhile, lets out their own audible *Sigh* of relief at the reprieve she was being given, turning towards you to give you an incline of its head/body + a kind smile in response to your words and gesture . Normally she’d object to being told to being told how to do her job, but that…..bug gave her the hibby geebies something FIERCE, so she doesn’t mind giving them as much personal space as they want! Besides, there was plenty of other Pokemon that needed/wanted her care attention, so it was their loss really! Durendal just shrugged their shoulders and nodded their head at your request, as that was what they planning to do, so no conflict of interest there!

Arial too notices the sentiments Riza feel related to Nelly. He wave his hand trying to disband the negative energy. "Ah dont worry about her Riza. Nelly its a bad person. I could see that during our battle. Emotions can be easily show during pokemons battles. Besides, I need to work in my social skills too Riza. Since I am a Rocket, conections and links its something very much important. Besides, she is very helpful in training me about using my energy in combat. With will be very useful during our mission in the Nuclear Factory." Arial feel there was more behind than just distrust and to calm her he grab her hand trying to calm Riza. "But I know what you mean. After everything I have face before, some cautious its always useful. I promise I will take a eye just in case Nelly do something. I promise."

The Bug Metahuman crossed their arms as you defended Nelly, still not entirely impressed or trusting of the spunky young woman, but by the end she let out a grumbled *Chitter…* acceptance, the reluctance in her ‘voice’ and body language extremely apparent.

{…..Okay Arial. Don’t Trust Lady.  Trouble…Loud. Suspcious…Make Me Feel…weird. No Like……But Trust You. If Help, Will Accept Her….. }

She almost startles as you reach forward and grab her hand, and what looked to be a weirdly colored blush manifested on her face as she meekly looked away and nodded her head. Oh no, now Arial is making her feel weird, but in a…good way? So confusing…..but so interesting too….

When Arial hear Riza was before in Tandor his eyes wide in surprise. "You was in Tandor before? Wowzer thats a surprise. I think when we finish the thing around here in Tandor I will owe you a proper tour in Tandor. In my home city to be more precisely, BealBeach City. Its a City surrounded by the ocean and with some beautiful beachs. I think you and your bugs will love it."

Bringing up the offer to explore your home region someday surprises her out of the strange feelings she was experiencing, causing her to look at you with a familiar sense of awe as she nodded her head. Tandor was a fine place in her distorted opinion, with lots of lush, tropical areas for her and her Bugs to hunt in, with the best place of all being Bakyel Forest. Maybe they could pay Big Mama a visit there, if she didn’t mind her bringing company!

Arial couldnt avoid but to think how it would be look Riza with a bikini. He disbands that think right away. No time to have this type of though! Focus! He blush a little then finally return to speak again. "I-I understand the the need to take bug/steel will take half a day. Thats why I will give you this." Then he take a little walkie talkie (the same he have use to talk with Reiner and the others). "This is called walkie talkie. This thing will make be able to talk even in range distances. And vice-versa." The Arial take his own Walkie talkie and his voice project to Riza Walkie Talkie. "Cat calling ladybug. Are you listening?" Then Arial smile again. "In case to avoid problems, we shall use codenames when we talk though the walkie talkie. You shall call me cat, and I will cal you ladybug. Just press this button to talk, and relesea the butto to hear my voice there. When you find a steel/bug, just use the walkie talkie to update your mission. Any questions?"

(…)

She accepts the walkie talkie with a befuddled look you miss as you explained the code names to her, as if trying to comprehend how such a thing could let her speak with Arial anytime, anywhere, but never puts it away with a nod. She’ll figure out how to use it tonight, when she has plenty of time to look it over without worrying/looking after you.
As for further questions, she pauses to think about it, before shaking her head no. All things seemed clear to her: Care for Arial, Protect Arial, Tolerate Arial’s New Friend, and Get A Bug/Steel Pokemon to Help Arial Hunt Glowing Green Monsters. Simple!

@Dragonstrike

The psychic butler nods his head at your decision and bows as you make haste to Kyubi's side, her nebulous but heavily implied to be 'not stellar' condition getting through your Dead Calm and making your pace more fleet + light.

*Rolls*

So much in fact you glide right on by Arial and Riza in the living room/lounge without either them noticing, as both were involved in a conversation you frankly most likely didn't care about at the moment, and so promptly ignored it in favor of focusing your thoughts on the fiery vixen! Smooth moving at its finest!

(Unless you want to notice/listen in, that is, in which case I'll do an Survival + Alert roll to see how much you pick up.)

In short order you arrive at your shared room with the kitsune, a small trolly with you dinner covered already parked just outside the door (The Staff here sure works fast and dang near invisibly!), a neatly written note placed right beside it. It read as follows:

"Knock first, and announce who you are to Ms. Sterling, so as to prevent any accidents Mr. Arendse - Mr. Mime Lingua Loquentium Servus the 7th"

Ok, so he knows how to write in fluent [Insert Language Here] too, and who knows what else. Of course, you don't have to follow his advice, and instead come up with your own approach, or just ignore it altogether and barge right in. What will it be, sir?

(There is literally no wrong choice her other than 'Ignore Kyubi Altogether,' so be creative if you want, or don't. Your choice!)

(Nah.  We'll deal with them in a moment ;P )

Be creative, you say?

*knock knock knock*

"Just your friendly neighberhood peacekeeper and unintentional chaos causer at the door, Kyubi.  Really wouldn't recommend roasting him.  He comes close enough to that happening to him on a daily basis these days as it is."

*opens door*

This probably isn't a pretty sight, is it?

Judging by the ambient heat in your surrounding being room temperature (IE: You are not on FIRE!), your announcement didn't provoke a fiery reaction from Kyubi as you entered in the room.

As for your assumption....

Well, the room was a mess, to be succient and straight to the point.

To elaborate, everything but the bed, the night stand and everything on/it it (Which included her dinner, looking mostly untouched) by them, and the television were in varying states of disrepair, ranging from object and furnature being torn, shredded, blasted, eviscerated, incinerated , what could only be vaguely described as 'annilated' , and on and on and on. In fact, an utterly destroy lounging chair was currently acting as kindling for a small fire, as flames licked and meerily burned away at the broken up wood and apolstry, dark colored smoke billowing from the wreckage and the air filtration system working overtime to remove it as fast as it was being produced.

Strangely the fire wasn't spreading, though, only confined to that former chair, and their no fire alarms/sprinklers going off. Did Archie invest in a High Grade Fire Type Protection for his entire suite, or was this yet another design feature of the AV? Something to ask about another time, perhaps.

On the bed was a great big ball of covers and comforters, which by the tell tell signs of slight movement was were the kitsune was currently swathed in.

Reading her emotions......you couldn't feel a thing from her. At all.

That can't be a good sign.

"...uh...Kyubi?  What's the matter?  This room almost looks as torn apart as..."

No, bad comparison!  Nope, no, triple no!

"...looks like an angry dragon had their way with it, to be blunt."

I don't like the sound of this...

Me neither...

This time, you hear heavy breathing in response, and what sound to be......sobbing. "*Whines......* My....th-the child.....!.*Whimpers mournfully*"

"...Kyubi...what happened after you left to go do that examination?  I need you to hold it together for a moment to tell me, okay?"

...Reiner's trying to be as gentle about this as he can.

...Reiner's trying to be as gentle about this as he can.

For the longest period of time, no response....until you heard muffled noises coming from the big ball of sheets.

Alertness Roll: Insight (2) + Survival (3) + Alert (2) - Sheets (1) - Soft Voice (2) = 3D6 Dice
(4)(1)(6)(4)

Straining your ears, you could hear the sound of sniffling and whinning, and underneath it you could hear Kyubi's voice, faint to almost the point of being imperceptible. Perhaps getting closer would help you hear her more clearly?

"Th-th-the ex-x-xamination.....I-it went w-well. Th-the d-doctor was n-nice and...and friendly, and d-didn't ma-make me f-feel w-weird. M-M-Mr. Mime....h-helped me in-understand h-how it w-worked, and....and all a-about my....my....m-my......!"

At that point, she broke down, her response devolving into sobs and whining. "*Sobs....* M-my child is......! *Cries heartbrokenly.....*
