[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

Kogeki think for a second and asks. "And what you could build between 30k and 35k?"

Machamp shakes his head.  "Nope, $40k is as low as I can go.  Land's expensive around here, as is construction."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Machamp looks a little confused at Kogeki's measurement for the amount of space.  "Square meters?  What the heck kind of distance is that?"

(Lolz, that was Kee not Kogeki) Whoops. "Oh, 'square meters' is 'xactly the distance 'n average male Linoone can jump from a standin' p'sitionif somethin' caught its 'ttention, 's mah standard way t'measure things 'n distances. Sorreeeeeh, kinda forgot that it's not yet officially 'ccepted as general way t' measure stuff!~" Kee says this with a totally straight and stoic face, making it hard to get that he's just being sarcastic at his best.

He also waves a paw in a trademark 'No big deal'-gesture when Machamp tells about the garden and how the quality of will depend on him himself. "Nah, it's fine, Machamp! 's long as the place ya're goin' t'build tha base isn't completely dead 'n deserted, I'll MAKE plants grow there somehow." Might need Mulch and the help of Grass Types though - adding that to Kee's goals to pursue.


His furry head and deep-red Ziggy eyes turned towards the others: "Weeeeeell, people, I'm convinced 'nough to accept 'n let our m'gnificent 'n precious base build by Machamp 'n his folks!~ 'f ya're goin' t'excuse me for short, I'm off withdrawin' my share of payment. Will be back in just a few minutes!~~" And off Ziggy Kee is, rushing in a zigzag-manner at first to Kangaskhan and then to the Kecleon Brothers - and as he returns, he directly tosses a small pouch that jingles and clatters from the amount of coins within in to Machamp. "That's for ya Machamp, 'xactly 10,000$P, freshly retrived!~ Please dontcha ask where I got it from, just trust that it's clean 'n mint 's well as free of any blood or terror. 'kay? 'kay!~"

--> Big Nugget has been erased from Inventory, all the cash Kee got from selling it goes directly to Machamp.

With an expectant grin and his violet tailtip raised in eager and excitement, Kee smiles a toothy grin at the others. "Sooooo, I've tossed in mah share. Whatcha 'bout y'all, hm?~ I can't pay him all by mahself 'nfortunately...~" With a lower and much softer voice he also carefully adresses Karen directly. "Whatcha 'bou ya, Karen-dear ? Ya haven't said a thin' yet whether ya'd actually 'njoy a base build for us, and dontcha 'ave any particular wishes that could be brought up t'wards Machamp here? C'mon, dontcha be shy, voice any input or d'sires base-wise ya might have with yar beautiful voice please~"

Kogeki didn't say anything for a few seconds. He just raise a finger from his paw asking everyone to wait. "Wait here." Then he rush into a certain direction (sometimes using Quick Attack to increase his speed, not to attack anyone). He returns from the Duskull Bank and withdraw 10k of money (leaving 50 Poke in the bank). He returns to Machamp and everyone and put his money in the table. 

"It is a fair price. Can you at least make a pool big and deep for my Charmander friend when you build the house if possible?"

"This house is a combination of our share desire in have a home, so nothing more fair than do my part in build our home."

Pyra....didn't contribute or offer to contribute anything towards the cost of building the group's dream home. She didn't make any attempt to highlight this, however; the lil' demoness stood by and let her companions handle paying Machamp, going around his building (and in it, with their permission) to check it out and occupy herself while her friends went off to gather their funds to pay the Fighting Construction Master Supreme, looking her chipper and energetic self the entier time. Whatever the reasons for skipping out on the house bill was, it seemingly was not anything that change her typical behavior.

[Spiritmon]

Kogeki do raise a eyebrown because of Pyra action. Or lack of action to be precise. It was closes thing Pyra was until now to leave the Ninja physical surprise, and thats not something easy to do.

However he only his head in signal of understanding. They might be together for only a while, but the delta doggo have the feeling Pyra would never do something who could hurt the team or delay the Team Goals without a reason. He trust her, and stiill trust her. He know he have his reasons, and so he will keep trusting her.

Because if he begin to distrust his Team, in who Kogeki will trust.

So if someone would feel Pyra is not worth of trust, Kogeki is not one of them. He keep trust Pyra, and he knows she have reasons to not contribute in the Team Dream. He will of course question her later of course, but even now, Kogeki faith in Pyra do not disapear.

At least this is what Kogeki gaze on Pyra show.

This was something that caught Kee's interest, and so he quickly zigzags over to the fierly lady to inquire about it and satisfy his massive curiosity about anything odd and weird. THAT's the Zigzagoon-sense within him! He nudges her in a non-chalant and friendly way, his voice sounding honestly interested and not scolding or such. "Heyyyyy, Pyra-dear!~ Whatcha doin' there, examinatin' things yar curious 'bout just like I 'ave now 'pproached ya to ask why ya're not chippin' in to pay for our glorious base?~"

Pyra was pre-occupied with admiring the Machamp's look-a-like and trying to copy their boisterous poses, so when Kee tried to get her attention she jumped in surprised and twirled around to face whomever interuptted her, and upon seeing it was him she wasted no time smiling back to them with wholesome appreciation.

"Small and compact greetings, Ziggy Kee! Indeed I am, yes inspecting this building guised as its owner, and studying its master constructor! What desire is yours that you wish to share, information you want to declare?"

*Listens to their question*

"Looks surprised and thoughtful*  Oh! Was I....supposed to.....put forth my own gilded gold, towards buying our future home, yes? *Frowns* Oh....indeed, the truth is probably that so. *Shakes* Can't do that now, though, for I have....ideas and inspirations to transribe and transform that have need for it in future when unknown. One that will profit and be profitable for us all, yes.....I think. *Shakes head* Need time to think think think about it all. 

"*Smiles sweetly at Kee*  Promise you and everyone else that I shall share the windfall of fortune I'll create, yes, certainly, so worry not about my part of our home's debt going forever unpaid."

The brimstone imp would hold the furry punk star's head up with one of her claws as she made that promise, tryin to convey her heartfelt conviction in her touch and unintentionally directing his gaze towards her own, which sparkled with sincerity and a certain measure of bashfulness. Woo we........what an 'Intimidating' sight for sore eyes, huh?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

'Small and compact greetings' - only due to that wording Kee actually picked up what a SMOL BOI he was compared to Pyra. And he immediately wasn't much of a fan about this fact... But oh well, he's just going to make up what he is lacking in size and height with his aTtItUDe!1! and dEMeAnoUR!!1 instead, he's a GALARIAN Ziggy after all! ( ÒωÓ)و☆

Her description that she was having 'other plans' with her gold only served to make Kee 100% more curious about it, and all of his black-white fur involuntarily bristled out of excitement when hearing that said 'plans?'  shall benefit them all... How curious and interesting, how VERY so!

The way Pyra smiled sweetly at Ziggy Kee, held his head with a claw and made him look directly into her sparkling eyes turned him into wax in her claws, and he freezes instantly and blushes vividly again. Fufu... "O....okay then, do take yar..... uhm, time to think think think.....*cough* I-if ya.... need help, I'll be yar man, just come 'n ask...." Then he all gently and faintly licks over her nose~♡ to live the moment and frees himself from her grip, before darting off in a zigzag-manner to cool down again.

Again, Karen seems to be a little distracted, but she responds when talked to.  "Hm?  Oh, right!  Uuuhhh...nope, don't have anything in particular in mind, honestly.  I'll totally chip in, though!  I just, uh...need to go get my money from the bank real quick.  Be right back!"

Karen starts jogging back to town, but then trips on a rock...

*rolls*

...and then suddenly vanishes before she faceplants!

A few minutes pass, and then she reappears just as suddenly, a bag of coins in her hand which she gives to Machamp.  "Here ya go!"

Machamp's laughing at anyone surprised by this turn of events, not really surprised himself by what happened.  "Bahahahahaha!  Thank you kindly, girl!  Alright, just need another $10k, then my fellas and I can start planning and gathering materials!"

[no one]

"Here you go big guy. Any idea how long it'll take? I'm not entirely sure we have a place to crash for the night." Dax said, handing him a big pile of Poke.
