[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

 Hmm… that is acceptable! Might’ve miscounted how many Encounters he had left anyway, so the above happening would be a nice way of compensating for that. Technically he can invite anyone to it - he and Akamu are just the only ones to get mechanical benefits and Events while the rest will have to settle with RP (or buying drinks).

Cool!  Oz and Bernhard are out for now, but that's not a huge deal at the current moment.

How about Vernon (@ Iron) and Darren (@ Mikaruge108)?  They up for a trip to Afterlife for some additional RP time?

Yep. Though Darren mightn't drink anything since he doesn't hold his liquor too well.

Oh, Windos, I have a further question pretty please: Which one of my Encounters of Day 2 was/were the Strange one/s? Need that for keeping track of these. And can we still have Strange and Special Strange Encounters during the potential timeskip? I like these for my PC a tad bit too much to pass them.

The Gleam Encounter(s) ! Considering how much happened and everything about it, I'd say it qualifies as Special Strange, if on the lower end of 'that' category. Not that having this one will prevent you from getting other Special Stranges during the week, since Zephy is a magnet for such shenanigans and Bern is expected to deal with such things (now more than ever)!

The Afterlife does serve non-alcohol mix drinks, but you'll be ribbed and called a lightweight all night for it. Aaron won't join you, since he's the 'early to bed, early to rise' sort of guy and is too old to want to party at a club.

On that note alcohol is a type of poison, right?

Sorry for the late reply, but yeah. Most pretty mild compared to actual Pokemon grade toxins and venoms, but anybody with Resistance, Immunity, or special interactions with Poison do have some with alcohol as well. Akamu could probably drink wood grain alcohol and not get too messed up from it (even if it'd be pretty vile), while anything less but the hardest drinks around wouldn't phase him now (or he'd sober up FAST, either or). Quite ironic, considering his Patron, but then again considering his Patron such a thing is expected....

As far as Darren ordering a drink goes, Windos, don't type anything following up on that yet please.  Seddi will have something to say about that (but it might take me awhile to finish the post since I'm at work).

Noted, thank you!~ Oh, and don't worry about throwing more strange + special strange things/encounters at Bern - if anything, I'd enjoy it 'cuz man, I love this whole mechanic of Fortune you cooked up, truly so.

Change of plan then @Spiritmon: If you wish for (meaningful) interactions between Oz and Bern, do invite him to a shared meal, and come up with an actual reason/purpose you want to see him or speak with him - because otherwise the lone wolf that Bernhard is quite likely won't show up and prefers to eat alone. Bonus points if displaying respect and courtesy towards him, given his high rank in Scimitar Society.  Or just magically run into him when I practice some new Spells, or say that you want to see how a Scimitar battles via Magic, I dunno.

  Hmm...I might need to work in some ideas to go in some encounter with Bern. Perhaps later after I get rid of the side effects of the Kumbaya. I dont want Bern get caugh in a battle on a angry encounter because of Oz. Not to mentioned Oz still a bit nervous around Bern. But things might get a bit chummy with the fact Bern risk himself to change Morgana attention to save the group, which is something had helped Oz change a bit how she view Bern.  Magic might be a good thing. Oz likes literature, and her three main Pokemon are literally witches (specially Hecate, since Hatterene nickname is literally "Witch of the Woods", and her name come from the goddess of witchcraft Hecate), so she get interested in see Bern magic praticing. And again, Hecate is literally Oz youngest Pokemon, so she seeing a magic user in action could be a interesting experience for her.  There is a third option, but this one I prefer to keep to myself since it is a secret on I and Windos know.

Brainstorm time:   

>>Say something along the lines you want to thank Bernhard for...that (read:"the fact Bern risk himself to change Morgana attention to save the group", as you're putting it), but be prepared for embarassment from his side upon reminded of it. 

>>Bring up you want to let Hecate see a skilled Magic-User in action, for inspiration and for her to see how cool and useful Spells can be. 

>>Express interest in what Pokemon-partners Bernhard has, since Scimitars are known to prefer 'magical' and 'unique' Pokemon. No he won't outright show Zephy though, too risky. But bonding over speaking about special Pokemon? Yes please.  

>> Secret third thing you teased, because now you got me all ears.

These could work very nicely! About unique and magical Pokemon could work very nicely too, since Oz can show some of her Pokemon two. Hecate is basically the only Hatterene capable of Mega Evolve at the moment while Fortuna is different from others Honckrow, due to her calm and collected nature, and others reasons you may find in-game. I will not say much, just is nice and useful most of the time. I will just say thanks to Windos, Fortuna fit nicely and perfect into the crow witch archetype pretty nicely.

Gonna mention it here just as a reminder: don't forget to also finish up the scene between Oz and Seddi, Windos!  Gotta get that Lethal damage Seddi took checked out.  If Oz can help, great!  If not, he'll have to go bother some of the medical staff despite how busy they are I guess (though he was trying to avoid that so they could focus on the bigger job).

And with that, I leave this scene in your hands, Phantom.

That was an absolutely lovely display of the most unique but most meaningful bond my PC and Zephy share that I have nothing to add to. Personality- and backgroundwise these two don't seem to match at all - and yet they're with one another, always and ever having each other's back, I greatly enjoy that contrast.

Thank you for that response that was no doubt hard to come up with, but was worth any wait, is saved up in a word-doc by me and lives rentfree in my brain. (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ ) ❤
