  1. Nov 01 13:02:22 <StarmanTheta> Last time on Badge is not Crash
  2. Nov 01 13:02:29 * bobptidou is now known as Denel
  3. Nov 01 13:03:08 <StarmanTheta> After defeating Celes, the party decided to take it easy and explore the town and search around for things. Unfortunately. searching for rumors proved rather fruitless, as did trying to find a way to offload your wares
  4. Nov 01 13:03:24 * MariaSpada went back to her room and made all the things.
  5. Nov 01 13:04:01 * Diego_Fuego goes back and tries to push his demo tape, but probably to no avail ;_;7
  6. Nov 01 13:04:16 <StarmanTheta> Afterwhich, you all decided to explore the outskirts of town, where you found the merchant meowth Marcato beset by foreign trainers. After a quick battle, the assailants were defeated, and Marcato showed his gratitude by helping you, erm, run legitimate 'business'
  7. Nov 01 13:04:25 <StarmanTheta> By which he means he'll fence your crap
  8. Nov 01 13:04:37 * MariaSpada isn't using him. Doesn't like the cat's rates.
  9. Nov 01 13:04:51 <StarmanTheta> And as evening falls, you drag the ne'er do wells back to Ujio downtown, and now have time to rest
  10. Nov 01 13:04:54 <StarmanTheta> so this is where we start
  11. Nov 01 13:04:54 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByFqK8BcB-0
  12. Nov 01 13:05:16 * PepperSpice wonders how marketable tiny crystal crowns are
  13. Nov 01 13:05:25 <StarmanTheta> Unless oyu had anything else to do that evening, we're starting with the next day
  14. Nov 01 13:05:34 <StarmanTheta> Oh right
  15. Nov 01 13:05:38 <StarmanTheta> When you get back to town...
  16. Nov 01 13:06:04 <StarmanTheta> Maria, you eventually meet up with cadmus again. He's got like five energy drinks with him and seems frustrated about something.
  17. Nov 01 13:06:53 * MariaSpada altered Altezza's sheath, finished armor plating Maria's jacket. She blinks as Cadmus walks into the door while she's working on Denel's suit. Thankfully she found a good one in a thrift store that she's just altering here and there.
  18. Nov 01 13:07:15 <MariaSpada> "What's wrong Caddypatch?"
  19. Nov 01 13:07:37 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus just kinda waves then flops on the bed--you're at a hotel, yes? "Ugh...My team sucked in League of Legendaries. Seriously, the carry would not. Stop. Feeding. Like damn."
  20. Nov 01 13:07:40 * PepperSpice did a bunch of sketches and other things before bed. She lets Salt check his social media before bed, as well as checking her own after posting the new archives
  21. Nov 01 13:07:57 <StarmanTheta> "...Oh, and, uh..." the Charmeleon rubs his eyes. "I found something...weird."
  22. Nov 01 13:09:14 * MariaSpada raises an eyebrow and looks up from her needlework, having lost interest at the sound of the Charmeleon's game before he caught her attention with the slight hesitance in his voice, "What do you mean wei--- oh you evolved. Congratulations," she shakes her head and takes off her glasses, "Anyway, what do you mean weird?"
  23. Nov 01 13:09:25 * Getter in the meantime is catching up on his 'stories.' He has found out that his pokedex can get an internet connection and this has made life so, so, very much better.
  24. Nov 01 13:09:57 * Denel tries to see how a patern similar to the one of his robe could be added to a suit.
  25. Nov 01 13:10:49 * Diego_Fuego is actually currently teaching his team how to dance. Gotta get the moves right
  26. Nov 01 13:11:08 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus smirks at the evolution comment. "Yeah, that happened. Apparently raging at crappy players triggers evolution... Who knew? But anyway... You know all the market stuff?"
  27. Nov 01 13:12:23 <StarmanTheta> "Well, between matches, I was messing around online..." he yawns. "And I came across these message boards. There were a lot of people, uh, mad at Ujio's markets
  28. Nov 01 13:12:52 * MariaSpada looks over at Mulan who was watching some cooking show on TV, "Yeah, we ran into some rather.. disturbing individuals outside of town harassing an Ekans of a Meowth."
  29. Nov 01 13:12:57 <StarmanTheta> "And a lot of posters were... Planning stuff. At least they said they were."
  30. Nov 01 13:13:29 <MariaSpada> "Planning what kind of stuff," she says as she pinches the bridge of her nose.
  31. Nov 01 13:14:00 <StarmanTheta> The fire type frowns. "Dang. I was afraid of that. I found a lot of groups and sub forums like that. Talking about striking back at the xenophobic natives... I think this might be a thing now."
  32. Nov 01 13:14:16 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus shrugs. "didn't have time to look further"
  33. Nov 01 13:14:34 <StarmanTheta> "(by which I mean my game started right after)"
  34. Nov 01 13:15:53 * MariaSpada gives Cadmus a blank look before sighing, "Well, this is lovely. Hey Mulan, can you go find everybody. Cadmus, I want you to pull this info up on the pokedex."
  35. Nov 01 13:17:02 * MariaSpada goes to her pack to find some pants.
  36. Nov 01 13:17:28 <StarmanTheta> The little farfetch'd stops gnawing on her bokken long enough to salute and go to gather people up
  37. Nov 01 13:17:29 <StarmanTheta> TIME SKIP
  38. Nov 01 13:17:41 <StarmanTheta> So when you're all alerted...I'm assuming you all gather to discuss this
  39. Nov 01 13:18:30 <MariaSpada> Yes. For sake of speeding up, lots of talking, agree to investigate maybe. Contact Okpako about the money he still owes us and this stuff we found on the web.
  40. Nov 01 13:18:59 <PepperSpice> Accurate. Pepper will also ask if anyone wants to meet up for morning training while they're together
  41. Nov 01 13:19:44 <PepperSpice> Since they're making plans anyway
  42. Nov 01 13:20:24 * MariaSpada applies training and exp training of course
  43. Nov 01 13:20:26 <MariaSpada> And sure
  44. Nov 01 13:20:33 <Denel> denel is mostly confused as to why people would openly say their unlawful plans where everyone can see them and takes pepper on her training offer
  45. Nov 01 13:20:37 <StarmanTheta> Salt seems positively peturbed by the news, as is 808. Eos is simply in a state of resigned frustration--nothing's ever simple. And Janis...doesn't know what MOBAs are
  46. Nov 01 13:20:57 <MariaSpada> Cadmus no.
  47. Nov 01 13:21:25 * Diego_Fuego also takes up the offer on the training to show off his sick dance moves
  48. Nov 01 13:21:29 <Getter> "MOBAs? There are Multi-operational battle armors!?"
  49. Nov 01 13:22:03 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus almost oversleeps, but at Denel's query, "Well it's all anonymous. I guess you could track the people if you really tried, but, uh, there's so many, it'd be hard..." He raises an eyeridge. "Do...do you not ever use the internet?"
  50. Nov 01 13:22:11 * MariaSpada also finishes up Denel's suit during the conversation and gives it to him to get dressed in for the next day. She reinforced it doesn't tear easily, but doesn't offer any armor protection.
  51. Nov 01 13:22:21 <StarmanTheta> Who's calling Okpara?
  52. Nov 01 13:22:23 <Denel> "...uh"
  53. Nov 01 13:22:27 <MariaSpada> Me.
  54. Nov 01 13:22:30 <StarmanTheta> Ok
  55. Nov 01 13:22:30 <Denel> "What's the internet?"
  56. Nov 01 13:22:37 <Getter> "Anonymous? Hmm... could just be hot air then."
  57. Nov 01 13:22:55 <StarmanTheta> Janis raises a paw. "Isn't that that thing you use to look up annie-may girls?"
  58. Nov 01 13:23:00 * MariaSpada looks at Getter, "A person is smart. People are done."
  59. Nov 01 13:23:08 * MariaSpada looks at Getter, "A person is smart. People are dumb."
  60. Nov 01 13:23:20 <StarmanTheta> As for calling Okpara....Ring...ring...ring...Click!
  61. Nov 01 13:23:31 <Denel> "I mean I hear d the word more than a few times, but the meaning is lost on me."
  62. Nov 01 13:23:41 * Getter coughs slightly. "Janis, the internet has many purposes besides that, also yes, but that's besides the point."
  63. Nov 01 13:23:42 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, glorious greetings, my dutious trainers!"
  64. Nov 01 13:24:33 <StarmanTheta> The man's voice booms out cheerfully and boisterously, even at this time of morning. "Apologies for not returning your message, though I heard you've done well in your first gym challenge. Well done!"
  65. Nov 01 13:24:43 * MariaSpada smiles brightly, "Thank you boss!"
  66. Nov 01 13:24:43 <StarmanTheta> Janis scratches her head. "But isn't that what you--"
  67. Nov 01 13:25:20 * Diego_Fuego nods. “Thanks boss!"
  68. Nov 01 13:25:30 * Slytherclaw (cgiirc@Rizon-87CF9AF7.c3-0.eas-ubr4.atw-eas.pa.cable.rcn.com) has joined #GymBadgeRun
  69. Nov 01 13:25:34 <Slytherclaw> j #bizarreadventure
  70. Nov 01 13:25:43 <Getter> "Thank you kindly. Our first victory is simply one of many yet to come."
  71. Nov 01 13:25:57 <Diego_Fuego> “We did a pretty good job, yeah? Lots of good stuff."
  72. Nov 01 13:26:36 * PepperSpice has quit (Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com ))
  73. Nov 01 13:26:41 <StarmanTheta> Okpara's voice booms. "I look forward to your continued service to the league. Oh, and your payment shall be arriving about now--do not worry, I did not forget. I was simply preoccupied with other matters."
  74. Nov 01 13:26:43 * Slytherclaw is now known as PepperSpice
  75. Nov 01 13:26:56 <Diego_Fuego> “Payment what yeah word?"
  76. Nov 01 13:27:01 * Diego_Fuego smirks. “Niccceeee"
  77. Nov 01 13:27:50 * MariaSpada nods, "Thanks very much. We also have some other news. Cadmus found some disturbing news online." She goes on to tell Okpara about what was found out.
  78. Nov 01 13:28:44 <PepperSpice> 2d6 for Salt playing with her tablet while they're calling Okpara probably
  79. Nov 01 13:28:44 <CritSenpai> for Salt playing with her tablet while they're calling Okpara probably: 6 [2d6=5,1]
  80. Nov 01 13:29:58 <StarmanTheta> Salt goes about checking how many likes he's gotten on his Pixelate. He's up by 20! Also has friend requests!
  81. Nov 01 13:30:42 <StarmanTheta> As you relate this tale to Okpara, the man's voice becomes contemplative. "Hm...yes...I was afraid of this. Recently, there have been...unsavory figures causing a ruckus."
  82. Nov 01 13:30:55 <StarmanTheta> "This actually ties in well with my next task for you all! Isn't providence grand?"
  83. Nov 01 13:31:01 * PepperSpice frowns. "Like Spike?" She asks.
  84. Nov 01 13:31:13 <Denel> "Maria could you ask him if they are creppy flexers?"
  85. Nov 01 13:31:34 <Denel> "because if they all are, I'm purging Kelele by fire."
  86. Nov 01 13:31:52 * MariaSpada makes a face.
  87. Nov 01 13:32:06 * Denel shruder thinking about the weirdoes they last fought.
  88. Nov 01 13:32:06 * MariaSpada turns to Denel, "At least you didn't have to carry them back to town."
  89. Nov 01 13:32:20 <StarmanTheta> You hear files being shuffled on the other side of the phone. "Spike...yes. We looked into his old trainer...apparently he also claimed such anti-native sentiments. I guess that explains a few things. But in any case..."
  90. Nov 01 13:32:48 <Denel> "And I am eternaly grateful for it, to you for doing it."
  91. Nov 01 13:33:11 * Diego_Fuego nods. “Its a bit worrying."
  92. Nov 01 13:34:42 * MariaSpada nods and looks Denel up and down, "You look nice in your suit, I do good work."
  93. Nov 01 13:34:48 <StarmanTheta> "As you know, the urban markets of Ujio are a testament to our country's unique pokemon population, and is a source of both pride and great economic wealth. Having the various enterpeneurs support for our league would be a boon, and we initially sought to enter into a sponsorship agreement with some of the movers and shakers in the market."
  94. Nov 01 13:35:42 <Denel> "Still not wearing it for long periods of times until I figure out a warding patern for it."
  95. Nov 01 13:36:05 * MariaSpada hushes Denel and notes they'll talk later.
  96. Nov 01 13:36:17 * Getter silently nods.
  97. Nov 01 13:36:23 <StarmanTheta> "Particularly, there is a furfrou by the name of Ukwasi, who owns a sizeable share of the vitamin market in Ujio as well as a lot of the free market space in which pokemon set up their stalls. We had originally entered into talks for his sponsorship, but recently, he abrubtly cancelled the deal."
  98. Nov 01 13:36:38 <Diego_Fuego> “So you need us to get it back?"
  99. Nov 01 13:37:17 <Denel> "That doesn't sound fishier than a Gyarados destroying Magikarp at all."
  100. Nov 01 13:37:37 * MariaSpada gets a calculating look in her eyes for a moment before nodding, "And you want us to find out what was going on, and help him if he's in trouble from outside forces?"
  101. Nov 01 13:37:41 <StarmanTheta> There's a pause, and Okpara's voice seems...strangely serious. "Normally, this would be simply a business setback, but there's something off about this. There are rumors that he has joined up with another...If you would be so kind, I would like you all to look into this, and uncover the reasons why he canceled."
  102. Nov 01 13:38:05 <StarmanTheta> "If at all possible, win him back."
  103. Nov 01 13:38:37 <Denel> "You want us to make him... reconsider? The way you say it sounds like a mob boss. No offence meant."
  104. Nov 01 13:38:39 <Diego_Fuego> “… We will do it!"
  105. Nov 01 13:39:05 * Diego_Fuego nods. “We can make him an offer he can’t refuse, ya know?"
  106. Nov 01 13:39:07 <Getter> "Hmm. A battle of stealth and subterfuge lies before us" Getter says quietly. "Although not my forte we shall see if some wrong doing has come to pass."
  107. Nov 01 13:39:15 * Diego_Fuego points to Poundcake
  108. Nov 01 13:39:18 * MariaSpada gives Denel and Diego a harsh look.
  109. Nov 01 13:39:49 <Denel> "What'd I do this time? I just pointed out how weird the phrasing sounded!""
  110. Nov 01 13:40:10 <Diego_Fuego> “Hey, I’m just saying we can talk to the guy"
  111. Nov 01 13:40:41 * MariaSpada says in a sugarsweet tone, "I'm pretty sure I'll employer does not want us to act like a mob's enforcers. Right Mr. Chiemeka?"
  112. Nov 01 13:40:46 <StarmanTheta> The man laughs. "Ahahah, oh Denel, you are such a kidder. We at the league are of the utmost legitimacy! However...given the circumstances, it is important to figure out the cause. As you're well aware, there's no small amount of bad blood about the League, and if someone is purposefully trying to hinder our efforts and garnering public support, we cannot simply ignore it."
  113. Nov 01 13:41:58 <Diego_Fuego> “Yeah that’s all I’m saying!"
  114. Nov 01 13:42:07 <StarmanTheta> "To that end, your first priority is finding out what happened. Regaining Ukwasi's agreement is a boon, but not necessary at this time--we on this end can negotiate that further if need be."
  115. Nov 01 13:42:13 * Denel pouts "It's not my fault this suit makes me look like a mobster..."
  116. Nov 01 13:42:38 <Getter> "It looks very nice Denel."
  117. Nov 01 13:42:38 * PepperSpice listens quietly and finally nods her head. "Do you have any leads we should start with?"
  118. Nov 01 13:43:10 * Diego_Fuego nods/ “Yeah leads?"
  119. Nov 01 13:43:29 <Denel> "It feels kinda itchy though."
  120. Nov 01 13:44:26 <StarmanTheta> "indeed I do! I am having Juniper text over the location of Ukwasi now--we've already arranged a meeting between yourselves and him, since I knew you would be so kind to accept this task."
  121. Nov 01 13:45:18 <StarmanTheta> "Ukwasi may be a busy dog, but I'm sure if you talk with him or those aroudn him you will find some information. At the very least, he's still amiable enough to meet with League representatives."
  122. Nov 01 13:45:30 <StarmanTheta> "Good luck! And please don't do anything incredibly violent."
  123. Nov 01 13:45:50 * PepperSpice can't hold back a snort. "That will hopefully not be a problem/"
  124. Nov 01 13:46:29 <Diego_Fuego> “We won’t!"
  125. Nov 01 13:46:29 <StarmanTheta> "You'd be surprised! Once, we had some trainers burn down a hideout they were to investigate. can never be too careful!"
  126. Nov 01 13:46:56 * Diego_Fuego blinks. “Hahahah what."
  127. Nov 01 13:47:07 * PepperSpice blinks. "That...sounds like the opposite of..." She trails off and shakes her head, trying not to look at Diego
  128. Nov 01 13:47:08 <StarmanTheta> "In any case, I must be off. I would wish you luck, but if you're this far you don't need it."
  129. Nov 01 13:47:14 <Getter> "I can see how that happens."
  130. Nov 01 13:47:23 <StarmanTheta> Click
  131. Nov 01 13:47:27 <Denel> "Who'd that stupid?"
  132. Nov 01 13:48:10 * Diego_Fuego laughs. “I can see it though"
  133. Nov 01 13:48:18 <Getter> "Mikazuki."
  134. Nov 01 13:49:17 * PepperSpice yawns. "So meet in the morning for training and breakfast, then head to the meet....ing." She pauses. "Did he mention when that was?"
  135. Nov 01 13:52:01 * Diego_Fuego shakes his head. “Nope."
  136. Nov 01 13:52:29 <Denel> "You know I'm not even surprised he forgot about that."
  137. Nov 01 13:53:26 <StarmanTheta> In any case
  138. Nov 01 13:53:29 <StarmanTheta> your pokedexes vibrate
  139. Nov 01 13:53:35 <StarmanTheta> It seems you've gotten two notifications
  140. Nov 01 13:53:48 <StarmanTheta> the first is a notification of payment. 3k pyen has been depositited into each of your accounts
  141. Nov 01 13:54:06 * Diego_Fuego grins. “Niceeee. Got payed i gotta tell Ice Man."
  142. Nov 01 13:54:33 <StarmanTheta> Secondarily, a group text. It lists the location of Ukwasi's office, in downtown kelele, and has an appointment time of 10:30 am
  143. Nov 01 13:54:43 * PepperSpice makes an appreciative hum at the money.
  144. Nov 01 13:54:45 * Diego_Fuego checks the current time.
  145. Nov 01 13:55:43 <StarmanTheta> It is currently 3 in the morning
  146. Nov 01 13:56:17 <Diego_Fuego> “Right, so I need to sleep. We should probably meet up in the morning for this meeting."
  147. Nov 01 13:56:38 <Denel> "Let's do that, yeah.
  148. Nov 01 13:57:04 <Getter> "Yes! I have gained 4,000 money dollars!" he notes, the dragon then proceeds to set some aside for reasons.
  149. Nov 01 13:57:23 * Getter meant 3. But that's besides the point.
  150. Nov 01 13:57:50 <StarmanTheta> Janis perks up. "Oh! Are you gonna buy that figurine you saw?"
  151. Nov 01 13:58:08 <Diego_Fuego> “Alright, well I expect everyone to have their stuff ready word? We gotta meet and greet someone."
  152. Nov 01 13:58:20 * Diego_Fuego looks at Getter. “Tomorrow morning me and you are suit shopping."
  153. Nov 01 13:58:52 <Getter> "Janis, Janis, Janis. Its a model kit. there's a difference. Besides, not yet. all my tools are at home in my village."
  154. Nov 01 13:59:45 <StarmanTheta> OK
  155. Nov 01 13:59:47 * Getter was actually setting the money aside to get Janis a figure of that character she liked from that show they watched together at one point. Secretly.
  156. Nov 01 13:59:48 * PepperSpice waves and heads back to her room. Salt continues to play on his social media, glancing at friend requests and the like, I'm assuming.
  157. Nov 01 14:00:18 * Denel goes to crash on his bed.
  158. Nov 01 14:00:28 * Getter nods to Diego and the idea of suit shopping. "I've...never worn a suit before."
  159. Nov 01 14:00:28 <StarmanTheta> Salt beams. "Hah! I'm up to quadruple digits now on friends! The great Salt deserves as much of course."
  160. Nov 01 14:00:47 <Diego_Fuego> “You haven’t?"
  161. Nov 01 14:00:53 * MariaSpada kicks everyone out of her room and goes to bed.
  162. Nov 01 14:01:11 * PepperSpice pats her friend before climbing into bed. She'll set an alarm for early for training, and wake anyone up who agreed to meet, if they don't show up at the appropriate time, by knocking on their doors.
  163. Nov 01 14:01:40 <Diego_Fuego> “Alright Getter first we get maria to get your measurements, and then we’ll get you a nice suit."
  164. Nov 01 14:02:49 <StarmanTheta> THE NEXT MORNING
  165. Nov 01 14:02:52 <StarmanTheta> You all wake up and do shit
  166. Nov 01 14:03:56 <StarmanTheta> Any preparations before you head out?
  167. Nov 01 14:03:58 * PepperSpice does approximate shit. Nobody levels up.
  168. Nov 01 14:04:22 * Denel goes to train with the others, Eos manage to flex HARDER
  169. Nov 01 14:04:40 * PepperSpice holds off on doing dowsing rolls until she sees if they end up somewhere that'll be better for it.
  170. Nov 01 14:04:52 * Diego_Fuego goes to train but also makes sures to get a suit for Getter and get himself ready for the meeting
  171. Nov 01 14:04:55 <StarmanTheta> Eos takes his time booting up. Cadmus doesn't want to get up 'cause he spent all night complaining about his team on the internet. 808 is practicing his indoor voice, Janis is doing her early morning meditation, and Salt is making sure his crown rests on his head perfectly.
  172. Nov 01 14:05:12 <StarmanTheta> And the GM types too damn slow
  173. Nov 01 14:05:21 * PepperSpice is giddy that her best friend is still happy with his gift.
  174. Nov 01 14:05:38 * PepperSpice wonders if she should make something for Cinnamon to welcome her to the team, maybe.
  175. Nov 01 14:05:49 * Getter is going to go and do some TEAM TRAINING to get things ready for what they may face on the battlefield of words. Also. Suits!
  176. Nov 01 14:06:19 * MariaSpada EXP training and finishing up the rest of her crafting.
  177. Nov 01 14:06:21 * PepperSpice assumes they did training in the morning as a group and stuff. Also +Inspired on both mon.
  178. Nov 01 14:06:27 <MariaSpada> and regualr training
  179. Nov 01 14:06:29 <StarmanTheta> There's actually quite a few tailors that do pokemon-fitted formal wear
  180. Nov 01 14:06:35 <StarmanTheta> What with being Ujio and all
  181. Nov 01 14:06:45 <MariaSpada> There's also a fashionista on your team
  182. Nov 01 14:07:48 <MariaSpada> Focused on Mulan and Cadmus.
  183. Nov 01 14:08:22 <StarmanTheta> So if you want to do some shopping go for it. Otherwise we're skipping to the appointment
  184. Nov 01 14:09:19 <PepperSpice> Skipping~
  185. Nov 01 14:09:46 <Denel> let's a go
  186. Nov 01 14:10:05 * Getter now has a suit. "What do you think Janis?" he asks holding it up next to himself.
  187. Nov 01 14:10:17 <Diego_Fuego> Skip
  188. Nov 01 14:10:29 <Diego_Fuego> We’ll assume i asked Maria for the favor
  189. Nov 01 14:10:39 <StarmanTheta> Ok
  190. Nov 01 14:10:58 * StarmanTheta clears throat
  191. Nov 01 14:11:45 <StarmanTheta> After you get all your stuff together, you head downtown. Like yesterday, downtown Ujio is a dizzying array of top notch urban and monolithic building stretching to the sky.
  192. Nov 01 14:12:48 <StarmanTheta> Your destination is the free market squares, where most pokemon set up their street vending. Even driving through it, you see pokemon and humans of all types peddling all sorts of wares. Evolutionary items, held items, trinkets, doo-dads, wares mundane and extravagant...
  193. Nov 01 14:14:05 <StarmanTheta> but the true destination is Ukwasi Corporate HQ, a building set within the outskirts of the free market. While only two stories tall, it takes up an impressive amount of real estate, and has signage everywhere that would make Okpara nod in approval.
  194. Nov 01 14:14:44 <StarmanTheta> When you enter, perception or intuition checks if you would like
  195. Nov 01 14:14:55 <Denel> "I never thought we'd meet someone with an ego as large as our boss."
  196. Nov 01 14:15:24 <Denel> 2d6 intuition
  197. Nov 01 14:15:24 <CritSenpai> intuition: 8 [2d6=3,5]
  198. Nov 01 14:15:27 <PepperSpice> 5d6 Perception
  199. Nov 01 14:15:27 <CritSenpai> Perception: 16 [5d6=5,6,2,2,1]
  200. Nov 01 14:15:46 <PepperSpice> 3d6+2 Salt Perception
  201. Nov 01 14:15:46 <CritSenpai> Salt Perception: 15 [3d6=3,5,5]
  202. Nov 01 14:16:19 * Diego_Fuego appears before the group trimmed neatly, in a burgandy suit and black shoes, and a nice pair of shades. You can see his nice fade as he looks around
  203. Nov 01 14:16:22 <Diego_Fuego> 4d6 EYES
  204. Nov 01 14:16:22 <CritSenpai> EYES: 11 [4d6=2,1,5,3]
  205. Nov 01 14:16:49 <StarmanTheta> Lol
  206. Nov 01 14:17:01 <Getter> "In truth, to have earned this much and done this well is something to be proud of. An achievement is an achievement."
  207. Nov 01 14:17:04 <Denel> "You are you and what did you do with Diego?"
  208. Nov 01 14:17:40 <StarmanTheta> You'd notice about this building--nearly all the doors are either automatic, or double hinged push doors. Lots of them seem to have doggy doors, and instead of staris there's a ramp. Even the elevators have two sets of buttons--one at shoulder height for humans, and another rather close to the ground.
  209. Nov 01 14:18:04 <StarmanTheta> Pepper and Salt also notice there seem to be chew toys distributed ad lib at vrious places in the building
  210. Nov 01 14:18:41 <StarmanTheta> In any case
  211. Nov 01 14:19:27 <Diego_Fuego> “Look, Getter has a suit, its an image. Now we got important matters at the moment.” He barks at Denel
  212. Nov 01 14:20:03 <StarmanTheta> Salt turns his nose up at the place. "Honestly, this place needs more dark courners. There's not even a single spider web in here..."
  213. Nov 01 14:20:22 * PepperSpice glances at the chew toys curiously, but eventually shrugs and follows.
  214. Nov 01 14:20:29 * Denel just raise an eyebrow at Diego
  215. Nov 01 14:20:51 <StarmanTheta> A quick meeting with the receptionsit gets you sent up to the upstairs waiting room. The room outside of Ukwasi's office has...quite a lot of pictures of the furfrou, in various posed pictures.
  216. Nov 01 14:21:14 <Diego_Fuego> “I’m guessing he thinks very highly of himself, yo."
  217. Nov 01 14:21:25 * Getter takes notice. "Huh... Quite something."
  218. Nov 01 14:21:53 <Diego_Fuego> “Maybe I should be more coherent.” He slaps his face a bit and looks over at 808. “Remember, inside voice yo. There might be a camera."
  219. Nov 01 14:21:57 <Denel> "Like I said before, never thought we'd see someone with the same ego as the boss's."
  220. Nov 01 14:22:00 <StarmanTheta> And when you finally are admitted into his office, the posh pup sits upon a lush, extravagant couch, leaving the luxury dog seat designated for him unused. There are no chairs in here, only cushions for you to sit upon
  221. Nov 01 14:22:03 * PepperSpice laughs. "This feels familiar.."
  222. Nov 01 14:22:20 <StarmanTheta> 808 nods and whimpers. "i-inside voice!" It's conversational volume
  223. Nov 01 14:22:47 <StarmanTheta> The furfrou's eyes light up, and hie uses a paw to flick his fabulous head trim.
  224. Nov 01 14:22:48 * Denel take a seat, sitting the same way he did back home
  225. Nov 01 14:22:55 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2F7LhPZKTw
  226. Nov 01 14:23:09 <StarmanTheta> ...There seems to be music coming from somehwere but you can't figure out where
  227. Nov 01 14:23:33 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, yes, yes, the League Representatives!" Ukwasi barks. "Do come in, sit down, make yourselves at almost home!"
  228. Nov 01 14:24:07 * Getter does just that taking a seat with his legs crossed. "Thank you having us."
  229. Nov 01 14:24:22 <Diego_Fuego> “I can just like manually turn you d-“ He turns and bows. “Greetings, I am Diego Fuego, artist and leage Representatives. My associates are before you.” He gestures to the group. It sounds like he’s reading a script or something
  230. Nov 01 14:24:40 <Denel> "A pleasure to meet you Mr.Ukwasi."
  231. Nov 01 14:24:48 <StarmanTheta> "You're most welcome, most welcome," he says.
  232. Nov 01 14:24:52 <StarmanTheta> If you would, an intuition
  233. Nov 01 14:25:12 <Denel> 2d6
  234. Nov 01 14:25:12 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 8 [2d6=4,4]
  235. Nov 01 14:25:19 <PepperSpice> 3d6 Intuition
  236. Nov 01 14:25:19 <CritSenpai> Intuition: 8 [3d6=1,2,5]
  237. Nov 01 14:25:54 <StarmanTheta> Denel and Pepper think this dog is weird
  238. Nov 01 14:26:15 * Getter thinks this dog is an alright guy.
  239. Nov 01 14:26:48 <StarmanTheta> "Yes, yes, it is quite a pleasure," Ukwasi continues--his fur seems to almost sparkle when he talks. "I appreciate your coming this way, though I am afraid that your ultimate goal shall not be realized."
  240. Nov 01 14:26:58 <Diego_Fuego> 1d6 NOPE
  241. Nov 01 14:26:59 <CritSenpai> NOPE: 6 [1d6=6]
  242. Nov 01 14:27:15 * PepperSpice will follow the group in and hesitate, trying to find a cushion that isn't going to put attention on her, but will be somewhere near Maria or Diego. She knows this isn't her setting, as far as convincing people goes..
  243. Nov 01 14:27:18 <StarmanTheta> Diego wishes he brought a lint roller
  244. Nov 01 14:27:27 * PepperSpice kind of wants to know what shampoo he uses though...
  245. Nov 01 14:28:09 <MariaSpada> 2d6 intuition.
  246. Nov 01 14:28:09 <CritSenpai> intuition.: 4 [2d6=2,2]
  247. Nov 01 14:28:17 <StarmanTheta> Maria also wishes she brought a lint roller.
  248. Nov 01 14:28:18 <Getter> "Our ultimate goal?"
  249. Nov 01 14:28:31 * Diego_Fuego coughs a bit and straightens up. “Yes, ahem, our ultimate goal?"
  250. Nov 01 14:29:17 <Denel> "I'm not enirely sure what you mean by that."
  251. Nov 01 14:29:27 * MariaSpada coughs for a moment as she finishes looking around and raises an eyebrow at Diego appraisingly, before settling down primly onto one of the cushions, sitting with legs to the side and flattening the skirt over her thighs.
  252. Nov 01 14:29:34 <StarmanTheta> Ukwasi stretches out on the couch. "When Chiemeka called me to set up this appointment, I knew he, ultimately, wished to reinstate our previosu agreement, but I'm afraid that simply will not happen. I am sure you are all aware of the hoodlums that plague the free markets I hold so dear."
  253. Nov 01 14:30:01 <Denel> "We've heard of incidents yes."
  254. Nov 01 14:30:45 * MariaSpada smiles at Ukwasi, "Yes, we've heard of it. We had to deal with some of these hoodlums the other day. They were harassing a rather unsavory cat."
  255. Nov 01 14:30:53 <StarmanTheta> The dog smirks, shaking his head. "Originally, I had thought to contact your league for protection, but you see, the massive amount of foreign trainers--" he almost seems to spit the words, "have caused an increase of incidents. So many reports of trainers flinging pokeballs at Pokemon just trying to do an innocent day's work! It's bad for our reputation."
  256. Nov 01 14:31:47 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, so you have helped some," he says to Maria. "I appreciate it, however, it is a bit too little too late. For you see, we've found another parnter more suited for protecting our markets."
  257. Nov 01 14:31:52 <Denel> "And for ours as well. I appologise for the odd question but did these trainers have anything in common?"
  258. Nov 01 14:32:28 * MariaSpada nods her head, "I suppose that makes sense. You've made your fortune off of providing for people like my brother and adopted father," she says gesturing at Cadmus who was sitting behind her.
  259. Nov 01 14:32:35 <MariaSpada> for pokemon*
  260. Nov 01 14:32:46 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus snaps to attention from dozing off.
  261. Nov 01 14:32:59 <Denel> "Oh? could I ask who the man is? if I may be so bold."
  262. Nov 01 14:33:13 * Diego_Fuego nods. “Yes another parnter?"
  263. Nov 01 14:33:18 <Getter> "Another partner? Well. I am glad you've found the help you sought...though as Denel asks, I do still wonder..."
  264. Nov 01 14:33:18 <StarmanTheta> "In common? Well, they were all /foreigners/, for starters," he says, maintiaing that grin.
  265. Nov 01 14:33:47 <StarmanTheta> "And our partner is not one person, my dear haxorus, but rather an organization, focused upon those such as ourselves."
  266. Nov 01 14:34:01 <Diego_Fuego> “Oh an organization? Like a corporation?"
  267. Nov 01 14:34:03 <StarmanTheta> "I am sure you have heard of 19 Souls?"
  268. Nov 01 14:34:16 * PepperSpice frowns. There should really be more PSAs and posters for new visitors... Her parents had struggled with the differences, too, when they'd first arrived. Maybe she could design some and try to pitch them...
  269. Nov 01 14:34:29 <Denel> 4d6 gene edu did I?
  270. Nov 01 14:34:29 <CritSenpai> gene edu did I?: 18 [4d6=3,5,6,4]
  271. Nov 01 14:35:00 * MariaSpada laughs softly at the pup, before a stray thought passes through her mind, "Andante...," she muses moreso to herself.
  272. Nov 01 14:35:08 <Diego_Fuego> 2d6 uhhhhh maybe
  273. Nov 01 14:35:08 <CritSenpai> uhhhhh maybe: 9 [2d6=3,6]
  274. Nov 01 14:35:49 <StarmanTheta> Diego thinks he might have heard the name in passing. Denel, however, is far more knowledable
  275. Nov 01 14:36:07 <PepperSpice> 2d6 Gen Edu for funsies
  276. Nov 01 14:36:07 <CritSenpai> Gen Edu for funsies: 8 [2d6=4,4]
  277. Nov 01 14:37:05 <StarmanTheta> The name 19 Souls has been popping up a lot recently. From what you can gather, they're an organization of Kelelean Nationalists that is focused on protecting native pokemon rights and preventing abuse from foreign trainers. They've gained a lot of traction in these past few weeks, but they've been known for being anti-league
  278. Nov 01 14:37:21 <StarmanTheta> Though curiously not much is known about their inner workings
  279. Nov 01 14:37:55 * Getter nods. "Ah. I see."
  280. Nov 01 14:38:04 <Denel> "Well it certainly make sense they'd offer their help."
  281. Nov 01 14:38:39 <Diego_Fuego> “Ah so… anti-league nationalist? I can see why they would protect your needs, yo.”
  282. Nov 01 14:39:09 <Getter> "Even so, as long as their heart is in the right place whether they dislike us or not is of little importance."
  283. Nov 01 14:39:53 <StarmanTheta> Ukwasi turns to Diego, sniffing--his nose scrunches up when he does so. "Yes. I feel they're much more suited for protecting our interests. Simply put, on the international scale, there's not many organziations to protect us." He looks to Getter as he says this last part.
  284. Nov 01 14:40:06 <Denel> "I agree Getter, if I wasn't part of this team I'd probably be among their ranks."
  285. Nov 01 14:40:51 * MariaSpada frowns for a moment, "Agreed with Denel. This is my home. But that's precisely the reason I joined the starter program. To show foreigners and citizens a like that this program is not a bad idea."
  286. Nov 01 14:41:18 * Getter nods solemnly.
  287. Nov 01 14:41:27 <Diego_Fuego> “I mean I’m not from the region no, but I agree that its supposed to show how we can work together yo."
  288. Nov 01 14:42:05 <StarmanTheta> He looks to Denel curiously. "Hm, so you too see the merit, even if Okpara is feeding you tales. But in any case, you may see why I'm reluctant to restart our partnership."
  289. Nov 01 14:42:19 * PepperSpice frowns, thinking. "Why...not use both?" She says after a moment. "Foreign trainers are going to come regardless due to the novelty of your region. If there's a league that they're getting drawn into that's making sure visitors also know the differences in cultures, we could help at the source?" She trails off.
  290. Nov 01 14:44:10 * PepperSpice hesitates. "My parents and I immigrated, and they had problems because they didn't really know any better....there's always going to be bad people who do it anyway because they can, but I think a lot of people are like we were, and the league could at least limit those numbers... Just a thought, I guess."
  291. Nov 01 14:44:36 <Denel> "that's half the reason I'm here. In any case, if it's not too much to ask could you tell us where their local HQ is? In case we need to contact them regarding trainer violance during our travels."
  292. Nov 01 14:45:19 * Getter comments to Pepper. "It is more complex then that, sadly. In that no matter how many things change, many things remain the same... and yes contact would be preferable. Even if we do not like each other, a common ground does exist between us."
  293. Nov 01 14:45:31 <StarmanTheta> Pepper you can give me another intuition check if you like
  294. Nov 01 14:46:55 <PepperSpice> 3d6 Intuition
  295. Nov 01 14:46:55 <CritSenpai> Intuition: 7 [3d6=3,3,1]
  296. Nov 01 14:47:45 <StarmanTheta> "AH, yes, the local HQ!" he says, finally getting off the couch and going over to the desk. He roots around the piles of paperwork, before sliding a note across to you all. "I do not know their central HQ, but they have been having meetings about town. I believe this is their current one...perhaps you should go see. I feel like when you hear them, you'll agree too."
  297. Nov 01 14:47:58 <StarmanTheta> Pepper, you get the feeling he just outright ignored you, but why?
  298. Nov 01 14:48:24 * PepperSpice glances at Getter and shrugs. "Is it? There are definitely people who don't know better, and a league is sure to drawn the foreigners interests. There is at least a portion of those people who could be stopped just with knowledge."
  299. Nov 01 14:49:02 <Diego_Fuego> “Well It seems the local HQ is right there."
  300. Nov 01 14:49:12 <Diego_Fuego> “We should perhaps head out you know? Give them a listen."
  301. Nov 01 14:49:42 * PepperSpice frowns, though, at the dog's lack of response. If he was concerned with what he was claiming, wouldn't that have at least gotten a response...? She crossed her arms, feeling disgruntled.
  302. Nov 01 14:49:43 <Getter> "Yes, and with that knowledge it might help them better understand the outside world they come from as well, but such things take time, and time is not exactly good for buisiness."
  303. Nov 01 14:50:06 * MariaSpada takes the note and hands it to Cadmus so he can put it into the GPS.
  304. Nov 01 14:50:34 <Getter> "If understanding one another was so simple we'd be...well. Newtypes."
  305. Nov 01 14:50:51 <StarmanTheta> "Indeed, you are starting to get it, my dear Haxorus," Ukwasi says. He looks down at his wristwatch--a dog with a watch, really. "Hm, it seems my next appointment shall be soon. I hate to do this, but I am afraid we'll have to wrap thi sup."
  306. Nov 01 14:51:25 <Denel> 4d6 guile "There seems to be something on your mind, could we help with it? Not as League members but local trainers?"
  307. Nov 01 14:51:25 <CritSenpai> guile "There seems to be something on your mind, could we help with it? Not as League members but local trainers?": 19 [4d6=5,6,5,3]
  308. Nov 01 14:51:54 * PepperSpice is still frowning as she looks at Getter. "Newtypes? And I think you're drastically underestimating people in general. Your average person isn't that much of a dick--just used to dealing with pokemon that are as intelligent and capable."
  309. Nov 01 14:52:01 * Diego_Fuego nods. “Well if we perhaps head to this HQ and change their mind, would you reconsider your opinion of our relationship?” He offers the idea
  310. Nov 01 14:53:32 <StarmanTheta> "..." The dog turns around, turning in circles before he lays down on the luxrious dog bed. "If you wish to assist me as a local trainer, I would appreciate it if you were to quell these incessant attacks upon the free market. They are the love of my country, and I do not take kindly to such interference. Perhaps put your abilities to use there, hm?"
  311. Nov 01 14:53:43 <StarmanTheta> "Now, be off with you. I've several things to catch up on."
  312. Nov 01 14:54:20 * Diego_Fuego nods. And heads out
  313. Nov 01 14:54:48 * Denel sits up and give the salute of his tribe befoer leaving.
  314. Nov 01 14:55:29 * Getter nods. Though he does say to Pepper. "That's probably true. Then again most of my knowledge of people comes from... nevermind. Anyway..." Getter trails off and moves to get up.
  315. Nov 01 14:56:15 * MariaSpada stands up and leaves out of the room quickly.
  316. Nov 01 14:56:30 * PepperSpice shrugs, but still seems pretty disgruntled from the whole encounter as they leave. "Calling Okpara, or are there other things we need to do?"
  317. Nov 01 14:57:23 * MariaSpada turns back, "Let's go see about 19 Souls."
  318. Nov 01 14:57:42 * Diego_Fuego stops the group once outside and looks at them. “That dog… is quite arrogant. Nationalist I assume yo?"
  319. Nov 01 14:58:02 <Getter> "He's practically part of the principality already."
  320. Nov 01 14:58:09 <Denel> "I was about to say that. Any organisation that hides its inner workings isn't to be trusted."
  321. Nov 01 14:58:18 * Getter says this once outside and out of earshot, of course.
  322. Nov 01 14:58:33 <Diego_Fuego> “Yeah so that 19 Souls, yo we gotta get over here i think there’s some shady bussiness being done."
  323. Nov 01 14:58:58 <Getter> "We could also ask Marcato about them, he may have run into them before..."
  324. Nov 01 14:59:00 * Diego_Fuego steps behind a tree and in a moment you see he’s back in his red hoodie/red hat and black jeans
  325. Nov 01 14:59:10 <Diego_Fuego> “We could actually. I have his number."
  326. Nov 01 14:59:13 * PepperSpice mutters something about wanting to pitch some PSA posters to Okpara when they do call.
  327. Nov 01 14:59:42 <StarmanTheta> So you're calling okpara and marcato?
  328. Nov 01 15:00:09 * PepperSpice will actually call Okpara as they walk to update him, yeah.
  329. Nov 01 15:01:21 * PepperSpice assumes someone else will be calling Marcato, but she's too distracted by a potential project to care.
  330. Nov 01 15:01:59 <StarmanTheta> One sec
  331. Nov 01 15:02:10 <Diego_Fuego> “After Okpara we will hit up Marcato, yo.”
  332. Nov 01 15:02:18 * Denel will call Marcato
  333. Nov 01 15:05:23 <StarmanTheta> back
  334. Nov 01 15:05:24 <StarmanTheta> ok
  335. Nov 01 15:05:47 <StarmanTheta> gonna do Okpara first
  336. Nov 01 15:05:52 <StarmanTheta> Ring...Ring...Ring...Click!
  337. Nov 01 15:06:15 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, hello!" the man's voice booms out. "Finished your meeting with Ukwasi?"
  338. Nov 01 15:06:48 <StarmanTheta> When you're outside, Eos folds his arms. "tHaT dOg SeEmEd lIkE a JeRk."
  339. Nov 01 15:06:57 <PepperSpice> "Yes, sir. He's informed us that he doesn't feel we do enough, and wants to work with something called 19 Souls instead."
  340. Nov 01 15:07:22 <StarmanTheta> "19 Souls?" A pause. "Hm, I thought as much."
  341. Nov 01 15:07:27 * PepperSpice pauses. "Which actually led me to wonder if your advertising department has PSAs planned to alert new visitors about the...very distinct differences in cultures between Kelele and everyone else?"
  342. Nov 01 15:08:12 <StarmanTheta> "An advertising campaign...hm, yes. That sounds like a great idea, actually. We may be able to win them back this way, Ms. Spice. What an excellent idea! I look forward to see what you design for it!"
  343. Nov 01 15:08:20 * Denel buts in "We've gotten the location of their HQ in town and were planning to see if there was any foul play from them."
  344. Nov 01 15:08:32 * Diego_Fuego nods
  345. Nov 01 15:08:40 * PepperSpice can't hold back a wide grin. "Will do!" She chirps.
  346. Nov 01 15:08:48 <Diego_Fuego> “make sure they don’t be doing no shady dealing
  347. Nov 01 15:08:51 <StarmanTheta> 808 tugs on Diego's hem. "Uh, Diego, he can't see you nod over the phone..."
  348. Nov 01 15:09:33 <StarmanTheta> "So you have their location? Excellent. THen your second task; investigate this group. I want to know what exactly they're telling the creatures of this land."
  349. Nov 01 15:10:07 <Diego_Fuego> “I know man I’m just nodding, you know?"
  350. Nov 01 15:10:38 <Denel> "We were gonna do that regardless of what you said honestly."
  351. Nov 01 15:11:16 <StarmanTheta> "Excellent! Then we are on the same page."
  352. Nov 01 15:11:17 <Getter> "Nationalist groups have a tendency to...well..."
  353. Nov 01 15:11:24 <StarmanTheta> "I look forward to your report."
  354. Nov 01 15:12:14 <StarmanTheta> "Keep me posted!" Click
  355. Nov 01 15:12:19 <Denel> "See you later."
  356. Nov 01 15:12:26 <StarmanTheta> Janis pipes up. "Tendency to do lots of bad stuff?"
  357. Nov 01 15:12:29 <PepperSpice> "Okpara, is there anything you can tell us about them? You seem to know them already...are there things we should..." The phone call ends and she sighs.
  358. Nov 01 15:12:40 <PepperSpice> "Well. I suppose we'll figure it out as we go."
  359. Nov 01 15:13:02 <StarmanTheta> Dialing up Marcato next, right?
  360. Nov 01 15:13:04 * Diego_Fuego calls Marcato
  361. Nov 01 15:13:24 * Getter nods to Janis. "Yes. Much like Zeon. Though that is more bad people using an easy issue to propel themselves forward."
  362. Nov 01 15:13:49 <StarmanTheta> Ring...Ri-click. "Meeeow, Marcato here, how may we serve you on this purrfect day?"
  363. Nov 01 15:14:20 <StarmanTheta> Janis's eyes light up. "Does that mean we have to beat up robots?"
  364. Nov 01 15:14:32 * PepperSpice pulls out her tablet as they talk, humming and half listening as she jolts down some notes.
  365. Nov 01 15:15:00 * Getter pauses a moment and goes "I can not deny that we might need to at some point."
  366. Nov 01 15:15:19 <Denel> "Hey Marc! We need info."
  367. Nov 01 15:15:36 <Denel> "Ever ran into the 19 soul?"
  368. Nov 01 15:16:16 <StarmanTheta> The cat sighs. 'Aw, and I was hopin' you'd need some of my services...but I can information broker too! Let's see...19 Souls?"
  369. Nov 01 15:17:04 <StarmanTheta> "Well...I've not really dealt with them a whole lot! One of their members tried to scout me out, but they watned me to not sell to foreigners, and I can't really cut out any potential business!"
  370. Nov 01 15:17:10 <StarmanTheta> "But let's see..."
  371. Nov 01 15:17:48 <StarmanTheta> "Was there anything specific you wanted to know 'bout 'em?"
  372. Nov 01 15:19:10 * PepperSpice pauses, wondering if the cat could get ahold of another Dowsing Rod set for her...she knew they weren't very common, but it had been nice having Denel along during her last trip...
  373. Nov 01 15:19:13 <Denel> "General info about them would be a good start, I know a few things about their background but there are a lot of holes."
  374. Nov 01 15:20:10 <Denel> "When did they form, why? and how do they work? you know that type of stuff. Also I might have a few seals for you to sell."
  375. Nov 01 15:21:53 * PepperSpice will chirp up about having a request before they hang up, but wait.
  376. Nov 01 15:22:45 <StarmanTheta> "Hm...where they came from? Well...they started springin' up a few months ago. Really, I first heard talk of this kinda stuff two years ago after all that DA business, but only really recently did they have a presence"
  377. Nov 01 15:23:23 <StarmanTheta> "They're weird! I unno if they're a philantrhopic organization or a cult or what, but they've been expanding. Honestly, I don't get what the big deal is, but whatever, y'know?"
  378. Nov 01 15:23:35 <StarmanTheta> "So long as I can sell stuff, I'm happy! By the way, what kinda seals we talkin'?"
  379. Nov 01 15:24:38 <Diego_Fuego> “… Cult?"
  380. Nov 01 15:24:56 <Denel> "Genuine cleansing seals. Granted to let you smack a ghost, or remove a curse if you know what you're doing.."
  381. Nov 01 15:24:57 <Getter> "...Cult..."
  382. Nov 01 15:25:22 * MariaSpada rubs her nose after she sneezes, "Excuse me."
  383. Nov 01 15:26:01 * PepperSpice tilts her head. "Huh. They're anti-foreigners, so...I'm not going to be much help, guys, but...Maybe one of you could go in and find stuff out? Try to join..?" She asks hesitantly, shrugging.
  384. Nov 01 15:26:10 <StarmanTheta> "Yeah, they talk about their leader givin' them special powers and stuff, it's weird. I never really looked into it, but nevertheless, they keep goin' around in these little meetings in places, recruiting creatures to their cause."
  385. Nov 01 15:26:22 <Denel> "Try to stress that part when you sell them, if a joe tries to remove a curse with out some occult knowledge it's going to get worse."
  386. Nov 01 15:26:53 <Denel> "Well that's not suspicious, at ALL."
  387. Nov 01 15:27:16 <Denel> "I wonder if it's realated to how DA was rumored to steal powers."
  388. Nov 01 15:27:42 * PepperSpice jerks her head at Denel. "...what?"
  389. Nov 01 15:27:54 <StarmanTheta> "And cleansing seals, huh? Well the market ain't as saturated as it is in Wafu, but I'll see what price I can fetch for em. Lemme call up my guys."
  390. Nov 01 15:28:19 * PepperSpice shakes her head. "Oh, hey, do you think you could get ahold of a dowsing rod set, while you're looking in to that?" She asks.
  391. Nov 01 15:29:28 <Diego_Fuego> “Yeah actually… I could try an lie but you should probably let someone native go in."
  392. Nov 01 15:29:28 <Denel> "Never heard of these rumors? They said that people would get captured, drained of their auras and experimented on by thugs. these thugs were later discovered to be DA employed."
  393. Nov 01 15:29:33 <StarmanTheta> "Dowsing! That'll be easy. Hey, my guy should be there within, oh, I think 75 minutes or so."
  394. Nov 01 15:30:17 * PepperSpice blinks. "Oh, really? Neat. How much should I set aside for it?"
  395. Nov 01 15:30:23 <Denel> "Nobody knows if they are ture, but that's how rumors are."
  396. Nov 01 15:30:47 <Denel> (*if they were true)
  397. Nov 01 15:32:09 <StarmanTheta> "Let's see..." there's a clacking sound, as if claws are hitting a calculator. "With shipping and cleaning--er--taxes, that'll be...2000 pyen for a dowsing rod set. Top of the line."
  398. Nov 01 15:32:50 * PepperSpice passes along her appreciation and a promise to have the money ready.
  399. Nov 01 15:33:32 <StarmanTheta> "Anything else you guys need?"
  400. Nov 01 15:34:14 <Denel> "Mmmh not that I can think off."
  401. Nov 01 15:34:29 * Denel turns to the others "Any of you need anything?"
  402. Nov 01 15:34:42 <MariaSpada> "No."
  403. Nov 01 15:35:20 <Diego_Fuego> “Nope."
  404. Nov 01 15:36:40 <Denel> "Nobody seems to need anything no. Oh wait! Before I hang up, do you know of spooky things happening in the area?"
  405. Nov 01 15:36:53 <StarmanTheta> "Spooky things?'
  406. Nov 01 15:37:25 <StarmanTheta> "Well...not really. Yu might wanna ask some ghost types, though, they're better at that stuff than I am."
  407. Nov 01 15:37:33 <Denel> "Like ghostly things, unexplained noises, dispearing precious stones...."
  408. Nov 01 15:37:58 <Denel> "'Kay, thanks for everythng Marc, see ya."
  409. Nov 01 15:38:19 <Diego_Fuego> “Actually we could all go into the 19 Souls HQ and just not say much
  410. Nov 01 15:38:21 <StarmanTheta> "Now problem. Take care, nya hear?"
  411. Nov 01 15:38:24 <StarmanTheta> Click
  412. Nov 01 15:39:13 * Denel tucks the pokedex in an inner poket. "I'm willing to bet they'll at least screen us."
  413. Nov 01 15:39:37 <Denel> "At least if we go in from the front door."
  414. Nov 01 15:39:52 <StarmanTheta> In any case
  415. Nov 01 15:39:55 <StarmanTheta> that adress you got
  416. Nov 01 15:40:00 <StarmanTheta> anyone care to gen ed it?
  417. Nov 01 15:40:10 <StarmanTheta> pokemon ed also works
  418. Nov 01 15:40:11 <Denel> 4d6 where is that?
  419. Nov 01 15:40:11 <CritSenpai> where is that?: 12 [4d6=3,3,3,3]
  420. Nov 01 15:40:42 <Diego_Fuego> 2d6 k
  421. Nov 01 15:40:42 <CritSenpai> k: 5 [2d6=3,2]
  422. Nov 01 15:41:11 <PepperSpice> 3d6 poke edu
  423. Nov 01 15:41:12 <CritSenpai> poke edu: 14 [3d6=5,5,4]
  424. Nov 01 15:42:21 <StarmanTheta> Denel and Pepper would recognize that this would be the entrance to one of Ujio's underground maintence/sewer zones...but als there's a lot of pokemon that live there, so it's less of a flat out sewer and more of a legitimate town
  425. Nov 01 15:42:24 <StarmanTheta> but a bit stinky
  426. Nov 01 15:42:37 <StarmanTheta> Little Poison Town, if you will
  427. Nov 01 15:43:12 <Denel> "Hope you guys aren't averse to getting down and dirty."
  428. Nov 01 15:43:30 <Diego_Fuego> “I mean I am very actually."
  429. Nov 01 15:43:32 * Diego_Fuego frowns
  430. Nov 01 15:43:53 * PepperSpice thinks about the address and hums thoughtfully. "That's...well, that's the entrance to a small community, but..." She grimaces. "What is it about this town? First a dump, now a sewer..."
  431. Nov 01 15:44:05 <MariaSpada> "Well this is disgusting."
  432. Nov 01 15:44:10 <Denel> "then you'll love this, we're going to the sewers."
  433. Nov 01 15:45:02 <Diego_Fuego> “That sounds exactly as awful as i thought yo."
  434. Nov 01 15:45:22 <Denel> "Heh."
  435. Nov 01 15:45:33 * Diego_Fuego looks down. “I’m gonna get sewage on my Conk Taylors”
  436. Nov 01 15:45:59 * PepperSpice frowns down at her polished loafers and mutters something about needing to get a pair of junk shoes. Tennis shoes, maybe, or some rubber boots.
  437. Nov 01 15:45:59 <Denel> "Just buy clothe you won't mind getting dirty."
  438. Nov 01 15:46:35 <Diego_Fuego> “Why would I have close i want to get dirty?"
  439. Nov 01 15:46:44 <StarmanTheta> Salt brims. "Do not worry, Pepper."
  440. Nov 01 15:47:07 <Denel> "For these very situations."
  441. Nov 01 15:47:21 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus hms. "Y'know, sewers are awfully spacious, aren't tehy?"
  442. Nov 01 15:47:26 * Getter proceeds to undress.
  443. Nov 01 15:48:00 <Denel> "They are but it still doesn't prevent accidents."
  444. Nov 01 15:48:15 <Diego_Fuego> clothes too
  445. Nov 01 15:48:15 <StarmanTheta> Janis gasps. 'Getter! You can't strip in public!"
  446. Nov 01 15:49:18 * Diego_Fuego suddnely has on a pair of black sneakers. “Okay I’m ready.” He’s also got on a black hoodie and a black hat
  447. Nov 01 15:49:41 <StarmanTheta> 808 nods appreciatively. "You always know how to dress quickly for the occaision, Diego!"
  448. Nov 01 15:49:46 <Getter> "Fine fine, I'll use a public bathroom"
  449. Nov 01 15:50:09 * Getter proceeds to do just that and comes back out in only his scarf, as per normal.
  450. Nov 01 15:50:30 * Diego_Fuego adjusts his hat so its just slightly off tilt. “Always."
  451. Nov 01 15:50:37 * MariaSpada gets an idea for a pair of armored boots and pulls out a small sketchpad.
  452. Nov 01 15:50:41 <StarmanTheta> Janis beams. "Much more decent!"
  453. Nov 01 15:51:16 <StarmanTheta> So
  454. Nov 01 15:51:20 * Getter shakes his head. "I get it more often then not, but still, clothes escape me at times."
  455. Nov 01 15:51:23 <StarmanTheta> are you heading to the sewer or waiting on your delivery first
  456. Nov 01 15:51:47 <Denel> (delivery I'd hate to miss it)
  457. Nov 01 15:51:52 <StarmanTheta> Ok
  458. Nov 01 15:51:56 <StarmanTheta> 75 minute spass
  459. Nov 01 15:51:59 <PepperSpice> Yeah, will wait.
  460. Nov 01 15:52:05 <StarmanTheta> then, the sound of an engine roars towards you
  461. Nov 01 15:52:17 <StarmanTheta> before a delibird comes out of nowhere, riding a vespa, and screeches to a halt in front of you
  462. Nov 01 15:52:29 * Diego_Fuego looks at the delibird
  463. Nov 01 15:52:35 <StarmanTheta> he holds out a wing towards Pepper
  464. Nov 01 15:52:37 * PepperSpice gapes, impressed and surprised
  465. Nov 01 15:52:46 * PepperSpice will trade currency for goods and or services
  466. Nov 01 15:53:06 <StarmanTheta> So you give him the money. He nods, reaches into his tail-bag, and tosses you a dowsing rod
  467. Nov 01 15:53:13 <StarmanTheta> He then turns to Denel
  468. Nov 01 15:53:20 * Denel hands 4 paper slips covered with esoteric runes and symbols
  469. Nov 01 15:53:34 * PepperSpice inspects the dowsing rod, comparing it to her set and all
  470. Nov 01 15:53:50 <StarmanTheta> The delivery bird looks at it, counting them all. He nods , takes out a paper clip to keep them all together, and puts them in his bag
  471. Nov 01 15:54:04 <StarmanTheta> He gives you a salute, revs up his vespa, then takes off
  472. Nov 01 15:54:07 <Denel> "Have a good travel."
  473. Nov 01 15:54:39 * Diego_Fuego coughs. “Now can we go?”
  474. Nov 01 15:54:43 <StarmanTheta> The dowsing rod seems to be a legit dowsing rod. Good for finding shards and all!
  475. Nov 01 15:55:00 <PepperSpice> "Thank you," She says cheerfully, tucking her own set away. She'll wait until the bird has left before approaching Denel with a flushed grin. "You seemed interested when you came with me last time...wanna take up a new hobby with me?"
  476. Nov 01 15:55:27 * Denel puts on his cowl lining the green gems with his eyes. "Yes we can go diego."
  477. Nov 01 15:56:15 * Denel is taken aback "Wait, that's for me? I, uuuuh... I'd... be happy to?"
  478. Nov 01 15:56:31 * PepperSpice nods and grins, heading after the group.
  479. Nov 01 15:56:40 <StarmanTheta> so
  480. Nov 01 15:56:45 <StarmanTheta> are you heading to the sewers?
  481. Nov 01 15:57:37 <PepperSpice> Yes.
  482. Nov 01 15:57:46 <StarmanTheta> Right
  483. Nov 01 15:57:52 * Denel mutter "first time someones gives me something free of charge." and is then very happy he has his cowl back on, because he's not sure what his face looks like now.
  484. Nov 01 15:57:58 <StarmanTheta> finding the address, you find a passageway down...
  485. Nov 01 15:58:00 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBVHpgsS1F0
  486. Nov 01 15:58:37 <StarmanTheta> The first thing that you notice is the smell. A pervasive smell of garbage--not overpowering, but definitely omnipresent--assaults you as you enter the passageways of little poison town
  487. Nov 01 15:59:13 <StarmanTheta> There are pokemon--and even a few humans--who hang out here. Mostly poison types, but there are the occaisonal normal, water, and ground as well.
  488. Nov 01 15:59:13 * Diego_Fuego turns up his noise
  489. Nov 01 15:59:23 <Diego_Fuego> “It smells uh…"
  490. Nov 01 15:59:46 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus pipes up. "Like shit?"
  491. Nov 01 16:00:56 <Getter> "To be expected."
  492. Nov 01 16:01:12 <Diego_Fuego> “Yeah pretty bad!"
  493. Nov 01 16:01:26 * MariaSpada covers her nose and sighs.
  494. Nov 01 16:01:34 <StarmanTheta> Salt frowns. "Must our companions be so crass, Pepper? (Though I agree with him...)"
  495. Nov 01 16:02:17 <Denel> "Oh, stop your whinning. Or are you telling me the HOT as hell Diego can't handle a little smell?"
  496. Nov 01 16:02:26 * PepperSpice wrinkles her nose and laughs. "I'll remember you said that next time you have a temper tantrum," She says with a laugh.
  497. Nov 01 16:02:33 <StarmanTheta> 808 is trying to hold his breath
  498. Nov 01 16:02:39 <StarmanTheta> Janis shrugs. "I think it smells fine."
  499. Nov 01 16:02:41 <Diego_Fuego> “Yes I’m telling you exactly that."
  500. Nov 01 16:02:55 * Diego_Fuego looks at Janis. “Of course."
  501. Nov 01 16:03:06 <StarmanTheta> Eos nods sagely. "i AgReE. i AlSo CaNnOt SmElL"
  502. Nov 01 16:03:08 * PepperSpice sneezes. "Hey, uh, Diego. Maybe, um. Maybe don't light things on fire here. The smoke would probably stick to our clothes and smell worse..." She mutters.
  503. Nov 01 16:03:10 <Denel> "huh. Well suck it up."
  504. Nov 01 16:03:55 <StarmanTheta> You guys plan on doing anything down here, or heading straight for the meeting?
  505. Nov 01 16:04:15 <Denel> I'd say straight
  506. Nov 01 16:05:42 * Diego_Fuego looks around at the pokemon but otherwise he continues straight for the meeting. It smels bad here
  507. Nov 01 16:05:58 <StarmanTheta> of the pokemon you see, you notice trubbish, gulpin, and totodile who seem to be perfectly okay with the garbagy water
  508. Nov 01 16:06:38 * PepperSpice is looking around, but mostly tryin to go straight as well.
  509. Nov 01 16:08:21 <StarmanTheta> Well ok
  510. Nov 01 16:08:24 <StarmanTheta> in that case
  511. Nov 01 16:08:53 <StarmanTheta> you guys keep going, until you find what looks like the side entrance of a maintenence tunnel...there's a small poster stuck to it
  512. Nov 01 16:09:13 <StarmanTheta> denoting a strange symbol. Pokemon or Occult identifies
  513. Nov 01 16:10:38 <PepperSpice> 4d6 Occult
  514. Nov 01 16:10:39 <CritSenpai> Occult: 19 [4d6=5,2,6,6]
  515. Nov 01 16:10:39 <Diego_Fuego> 2d6 k
  516. Nov 01 16:10:39 <CritSenpai> k: 3 [2d6=1,2]
  517. Nov 01 16:10:49 <StarmanTheta> Diego sees pretty symbols
  518. Nov 01 16:11:14 <Denel> 5d6 occult
  519. Nov 01 16:11:14 <CritSenpai> occult: 10 [5d6=4,2,1,1,2]
  520. Nov 01 16:11:17 <StarmanTheta> Pepper recognizes this. What seems like just various pokemon paw prints is really an ancient kelelean script
  521. Nov 01 16:12:03 * PepperSpice pauses, looking at the poster. "I think this was one of the languages my dad studied..." She mutters, tilting her head.
  522. Nov 01 16:12:19 <StarmanTheta> The main symbol, circled by 19 small dots of varying colors, reads "19 Souls," and the text below it, in this same script, says, "To Keep The Land Whole"
  523. Nov 01 16:12:43 * PepperSpice translates for the party, pointing out the shapes.
  524. Nov 01 16:13:12 <Denel> "I'm very ashamed I couldn't read them properly."
  525. Nov 01 16:13:36 * PepperSpice shrugs. "My dad used to have his notes sort of everywhere in the house. I've seen it a lot."
  526. Nov 01 16:13:56 <StarmanTheta> It is a dead language, so
  527. Nov 01 16:14:00 <Denel> "Uh, well at least we know where the name came from."
  528. Nov 01 16:14:29 <StarmanTheta> In any case, do you go in?
  529. Nov 01 16:14:53 <StarmanTheta> if so what pokemon do you have out?
  530. Nov 01 16:15:06 <Denel> Eos as always
  531. Nov 01 16:15:21 <PepperSpice> Joltik is out in my case. Haven't had a reason to bring out Cinnamon.
  532. Nov 01 16:15:32 <MariaSpada> I have out Cadmus.
  533. Nov 01 16:15:40 <Diego_Fuego> 808 and Pouncake just about always
  534. Nov 01 16:15:48 <StarmanTheta> You can have one out Diego
  535. Nov 01 16:15:54 <StarmanTheta> IIRC you don't have focused command
  536. Nov 01 16:16:45 * Getter shall bring Caliner out on this one.
  537. Nov 01 16:16:46 <Diego_Fuego> OH
  538. Nov 01 16:16:50 <Diego_Fuego> Poundcake
  539. Nov 01 16:16:54 <StarmanTheta> ok
  540. Nov 01 16:16:55 <Diego_Fuego> wait 808 is out already
  541. Nov 01 16:16:57 <StarmanTheta> lemme get tokens together
  542. Nov 01 16:18:16 <StarmanTheta> ok
  543. Nov 01 16:18:46 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOx4jFWTscY
  544. Nov 01 16:18:50 <StarmanTheta> Enterring the area
  545. Nov 01 16:18:56 <StarmanTheta> you see two trubbish that seem to be standing watch
  546. Nov 01 16:19:26 <StarmanTheta> They look at you. "Oh...newcomers?" "Are you here for the meeting?" "It's very insightful." "I like it a lot...well would, if I could see it."
  547. Nov 01 16:21:07 <Denel> "We heard about this place from a friend of ours. he said we'd be able to see the world from another angle or something if we came."
  548. Nov 01 16:21:50 * PepperSpice just nods after a moment, going with the flow.
  549. Nov 01 16:23:06 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, ok." "Even if you aren't poison types... "" I guess it's fine? "" Please relay the message for me "
  550. Nov 01 16:23:39 * Diego_Fuego nods as well.
  551. Nov 01 16:25:03 <StarmanTheta> The two move out of your way
  552. Nov 01 16:25:13 <StarmanTheta> Feel free to proceed
  553. Nov 01 16:25:19 <Denel> "Thanks."
  554. Nov 01 16:25:49 * Getter follows behind with Caliner in tow.
  555. Nov 01 16:25:55 <StarmanTheta> A door lays before you. I assume you open it?
  556. Nov 01 16:26:02 <StarmanTheta> Caliner is frustrated at the lack of pets today
  557. Nov 01 16:27:24 * PepperSpice will open the door if nobody else does, yeah.
  558. Nov 01 16:28:19 * Diego_Fuego opens the door
  559. Nov 01 16:28:35 * Getter comments to Caliner that they are going in undercover...and that there will be pets later. Many of them.
  560. Nov 01 16:28:45 <StarmanTheta> You open the door, to more industrial hallway. You can see humans, garbed in strange robes, conversing with the local pokemon
  561. Nov 01 16:28:58 <StarmanTheta> The hallway splits in two, but both paths seem to lead in the same direction
  562. Nov 01 16:29:08 <StarmanTheta> Caliner growls. 'There better be..."
  563. Nov 01 16:29:57 <StarmanTheta> Feel free to progress
  564. Nov 01 16:30:19 * Diego_Fuego moves down, keeping his head up and nodds to Poundcake,
  565. Nov 01 16:30:30 <Denel> 5d6 occult are those robes occult based?
  566. Nov 01 16:30:30 <CritSenpai> occult are those robes occult based?: 11 [5d6=1,2,2,1,5]
  567. Nov 01 16:31:10 * PepperSpice looks around curiously to see if there's anything that explains what the meeting is for.
  568. Nov 01 16:31:14 <PepperSpice> 5d6 Perception
  569. Nov 01 16:31:14 <CritSenpai> Perception: 19 [5d6=1,5,4,3,6]
  570. Nov 01 16:31:14 <StarmanTheta> The robes are reminiscent of poison types, you think. Very occult based, but also traditional kelele dress.
  571. Nov 01 16:31:55 <StarmanTheta> Pepper can overhearsome of the conversations...the people in robes seem to be talking about how 19 Souls will protect the pokemon of Kelele, and to join with them
  572. Nov 01 16:32:05 <Denel> 4d6 gneral any particular region?
  573. Nov 01 16:32:05 <CritSenpai> gneral any particular region?: 13 [4d6=5,4,1,3]
  574. Nov 01 16:32:26 <StarmanTheta> They seem to be native kelele.
  575. Nov 01 16:32:36 <StarmanTheta> The GM also couldn't find non-white ginjikas so this will have to do
  576. Nov 01 16:33:01 * Denel give a little wave as he passes by the members
  577. Nov 01 16:34:13 <Denel> 2d6 poke edu
  578. Nov 01 16:34:13 <CritSenpai> poke edu: 5 [2d6=4,1]
  579. Nov 01 16:34:20 <StarmanTheta> There are doors to the south, three of them
  580. Nov 01 16:34:24 <StarmanTheta> and a door to the east
  581. Nov 01 16:34:49 <StarmanTheta> The members regard you curiously
  582. Nov 01 16:34:59 * PepperSpice wonders what joining with the pokemon of Kelele means
  583. Nov 01 16:35:03 <StarmanTheta> Denel doesn't think anything much of the totodile
  584. Nov 01 16:35:11 * PepperSpice follows after denel
  585. Nov 01 16:35:30 <Denel> :me goes to the end of the corridor
  586. Nov 01 16:35:45 <StarmanTheta> Open the door?
  587. Nov 01 16:36:01 <StarmanTheta> Also MariaSpada, Diego_Fuego, are you there?
  588. Nov 01 16:36:54 <PepperSpice> 3d6 Poke Edu as Totodile is passed?
  589. Nov 01 16:36:55 <CritSenpai> Poke Edu as Totodile is passed?: 13 [3d6=4,4,5]
  590. Nov 01 16:36:58 * Denel nudge the door open just to make sure he isn't interupting anything
  591. Nov 01 16:37:27 <StarmanTheta> Pepper, you figure that the fact that it doesn't mind the sewage is importatn. You suspect that the totodile down here are Water/Poison
  592. Nov 01 16:37:41 <StarmanTheta> ok
  593. Nov 01 16:37:50 <StarmanTheta> you nudge the door open...yu hear conversation on the other side.
  594. Nov 01 16:37:51 <MariaSpada> Yes
  595. Nov 01 16:37:56 * MariaSpada follows behind the group.
  596. Nov 01 16:37:58 <StarmanTheta> well, less conversation. More like the tail ined of a speech
  597. Nov 01 16:38:48 <StarmanTheta> That's what you can see from there
  598. Nov 01 16:38:51 <StarmanTheta> as for the speech...
  599. Nov 01 16:39:36 <StarmanTheta> "...will make the world whole. Do not fear, because we see the potential in all creatures. Pokemon, humans...we see the truth within you, and will protect and develop that truth...."
  600. Nov 01 16:40:22 <StarmanTheta> So whaddya gonna do?
  601. Nov 01 16:40:39 * MariaSpada frowns, "Develop that truth.."
  602. Nov 01 16:40:56 * Denel move inside as silently as possible and just listens.
  603. Nov 01 16:41:12 * Diego_Fuego follows behind the group
  604. Nov 01 16:41:26 * PepperSpice sticks with the group, frowning at what she's hearing.
  605. Nov 01 16:42:28 <StarmanTheta> As you enter the room
  606. Nov 01 16:42:41 * Getter shall do the same. He may have been wrong before. This isn't Zeon... this is far worse.
  607. Nov 01 16:42:47 <StarmanTheta> youj see more of the robed individuals, stationed at varous parts, as well as pokemon gathered to hear the speech
  608. Nov 01 16:43:35 <StarmanTheta> The robed individuals regard you warily, while the pokemon stand transfixed upon the speaker...a Gothorita, who speaks in a gentle yet commanding tone, and wears about her waist what is like an oversized belt...a ring?
  609. Nov 01 16:44:07 <StarmanTheta> The smell in here is more tolerable than outside. Perhaps because of the spritzee who seem to be freshening the air?
  610. Nov 01 16:45:03 <StarmanTheta> The speech continues, more talk of protecting the native population from the capture-fanatic ideals of foreigners, of strengthening both pokemon and human natives to their true potential...
  611. Nov 01 16:45:13 * PepperSpice sniffs in relief, appreciative but wondering if the poison types take offense to the implication.
  612. Nov 01 16:45:52 * Diego_Fuego sniffs. “Man it smells great here!"
  613. Nov 01 16:46:15 * Denel shushes Diego "dude I'm listenning."
  614. Nov 01 16:46:29 * Getter moves a bit more in the room as to not crowd the place they're at.
  615. Nov 01 16:46:29 <Diego_Fuego> “Me too, yo."
  616. Nov 01 16:46:40 * Diego_Fuego follows suit
  617. Nov 01 16:46:49 * MariaSpada peers around the room, before paying attention to the cult. "Caddy can you record this?" She whispers under her voice, before she moves herself a bit further into the room.
  618. Nov 01 16:48:45 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus nods, indicating the pokedex. "Already on it," he whispers, as the psychic type continues
  619. Nov 01 16:48:58 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyPMWWjzMG8
  620. Nov 01 16:50:09 <StarmanTheta> "For truly, every creature has untapped potential that shan't be ignored; be you the pokemon of the sewers, or even creatures that owe allegiance to a power most foreign..." as she says this, she smiles, turning to look at your group.
  621. Nov 01 16:50:44 * Diego_Fuego looks at her with a serious look on his face
  622. Nov 01 16:50:54 * Getter quirks a brow.
  623. Nov 01 16:50:55 <StarmanTheta> "And I see, even now, we have newcomers, not from here. Pray, did you come to our meeting out of curiousity, or out of an alternate mission?"
  624. Nov 01 16:51:09 <StarmanTheta> "Either way, the result is the same..." She says smiling.
  625. Nov 01 16:51:43 <Denel> "Mostly curiosity. We heard about your organization and wanted to see what it was about."
  626. Nov 01 16:51:45 * MariaSpada nods at the psychic type, "Out of curiousity for me, mostly. I'm curious about a group wanting to protect my home."
  627. Nov 01 16:52:58 <StarmanTheta> "So, you are curious," she says, her eyes light up...focus checks, if you would, everyone
  628. Nov 01 16:53:21 * Getter attempts to keep a grip
  629. Nov 01 16:53:23 <Getter> 2d6
  630. Nov 01 16:53:24 <CritSenpai> 2d6: 6 [2d6=5,1]
  631. Nov 01 16:53:31 <StarmanTheta> GOTTA GET A GRIP
  632. Nov 01 16:53:37 <StarmanTheta> 5d6+2
  633. Nov 01 16:53:37 <CritSenpai> 5d6+2: 26 [5d6=6,6,1,5,6]
  634. Nov 01 16:53:44 <MariaSpada> 5d6 Let's be honest.
  635. Nov 01 16:53:44 <CritSenpai> Let's be honest.: 20 [5d6=6,5,4,3,2]
  636. Nov 01 16:53:48 <Diego_Fuego> 4d6 oh fuck
  637. Nov 01 16:53:49 <CritSenpai> oh fuck: 8 [4d6=3,3,1,1]
  638. Nov 01 16:53:49 <Denel> 2d6 focus; 5d6 occult what is the goth slut doing?
  639. Nov 01 16:53:49 <CritSenpai> focus: 7 [2d6=6,1]; occult what is the goth slut doing?: 21 [5d6=5,1,6,6,3]
  640. Nov 01 16:54:14 <StarmanTheta> The gothirita seems to be reading your minds
  641. Nov 01 16:54:32 <Diego_Fuego> 2d6 808
  642. Nov 01 16:54:32 <CritSenpai> 808: 9 [2d6=4,5]
  643. Nov 01 16:54:36 <PepperSpice> 2d6 Focus
  644. Nov 01 16:54:37 <CritSenpai> Focus: 5 [2d6=2,3]
  645. Nov 01 16:54:38 <Diego_Fuego> er Poundcake even
  646. Nov 01 16:54:45 <StarmanTheta> Man an any of yu even beat a 26
  647. Nov 01 16:54:47 <PepperSpice> 2d6 Salt
  648. Nov 01 16:54:47 <CritSenpai> Salt: 4 [2d6=3,1]
  649. Nov 01 16:54:56 * Denel think to her "HELLO I AM DOG, PLEASE RESPECT MY INTIMITY OR I WILL FILE A REPORT."
  650. Nov 01 16:55:32 <MariaSpada> You got three 6's and another 6 Theta
  651. Nov 01 16:55:34 * PepperSpice is mostly wondering what they mean by potential.
  652. Nov 01 16:55:35 <MariaSpada> +2
  653. Nov 01 16:56:01 * Diego_Fuego is thinking “Oh shit i wonder if she knows that thing that we came here for."
  654. Nov 01 16:56:09 <StarmanTheta> She giggles. "Nice to meet you, Dog," she says to Denel. "But in all seriousness, you need not be afraid. Though you are from the League, we bear you no ill will."
  655. Nov 01 16:56:21 <Denel> "Oh, neat."
  656. Nov 01 16:56:26 * PepperSpice is also wondering if they're selling like steriods or something? Maybe this is one of those skeezy steriod places, the ones that make guy's junk tiny...
  657. Nov 01 16:56:59 <StarmanTheta> Salt freezes up. "Pepper I do not like this, not one bit. The Great Salt's secrets are meant to be guarded."
  658. Nov 01 16:57:02 <Getter> "Ah, we were expected then, and all that work to remain anonymous."
  659. Nov 01 16:57:15 * MariaSpada thinks of the best way to strike should this all go south.
  660. Nov 01 16:57:37 * PepperSpice finally shrugs. "If you bear us no ill will, then we probably don't bear you any either? I don't see why we can't work together..."
  661. Nov 01 16:58:02 * Diego_Fuego exhales. “What she said yo."
  662. Nov 01 16:58:19 <StarmanTheta> "Please, do not be alarmed. As I said," the gothirita goes on," We mean no ill harm, and we are doing no wrong doing. Merely helping the pokemon populace. Or do you take objection to that, and wish to end our peaceful gathering with violent means?"
  663. Nov 01 16:58:27 * Getter 's mind is actually just a lot of anime references. In fact. At this very moment he is imagining all of them in a table scene talking wearing space military outfits and the like. He is also attmepting to piece the 19 souls together from pieces of things he's already seen.
  664. Nov 01 16:58:40 * PepperSpice thinks about her ideas for 'don't fucking throw pokeballs at pokemon without checking if they're okay, douche bag' posters.
  665. Nov 01 16:59:08 <Diego_Fuego> “Uh… I mean unless you are going to I doubt we have much reason to fight right?"
  666. Nov 01 17:00:32 <Diego_Fuego> “I am Diego Fuego btw, League Rep and Artist.”
  667. Nov 01 17:00:37 * Diego_Fuego bows tot he lady
  668. Nov 01 17:00:49 <Denel> "Like we said we were mostly curious about what your organization did. It is fairly secretive after all."
  669. Nov 01 17:01:09 <StarmanTheta> "Indeed. We have no reason to fight. Please, come at talk awhile." She looks out over the crowd. "These, two, agents of the League..." there are murmurs in the crowd, "We shall listen to what they have to say."
  670. Nov 01 17:02:25 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, the nature of our organization?" the Gothirita closes her eys, the belt about her spinning. "What much is there to say? We wish nothing but the best for the native populace, especially with thei nflux of foreign trainers who wish to disrupt both the ecosystem and way of life of pokemon and humans. "
  671. Nov 01 17:02:35 * MariaSpada waves her hand and leaves it to Diego and Denel to talk it out. She just settles on looking pretty and thinking of a the Gothita's hairbows and outfit and figuring out how it could be armored.
  672. Nov 01 17:02:42 <StarmanTheta> "We have seen the disasters from Darius Anders, and all the history before..."
  673. Nov 01 17:02:56 <Diego_Fuego> “Yes it is very true…. Things like that have happened but yo."
  674. Nov 01 17:03:21 * Getter nods solemnly. They have indeed.
  675. Nov 01 17:03:28 * Diego_Fuego stands up straighter. “Our how modus operandus is like supposed to be like unifying foreigners and like natives cuz we working together."
  676. Nov 01 17:03:55 <Diego_Fuego> “Like it’s all more jobs and revenue with this, and we can work together and make Kelele even better! Not that it was like, bad yo, place is dope frfr."
  677. Nov 01 17:04:05 <StarmanTheta> The crowd murmurs wiht Diego's words...
  678. Nov 01 17:04:49 <Denel> "One small question, what does your organization does of the fact DA was rendered defunct by a mostly foreign group?"
  679. Nov 01 17:05:36 <StarmanTheta> hm
  680. Nov 01 17:05:42 <StarmanTheta> denel gimme a charm or command check
  681. Nov 01 17:05:55 <Denel> 4d6 command so?
  682. Nov 01 17:05:56 <CritSenpai> command so?: 10 [4d6=4,2,2,2]
  683. Nov 01 17:06:00 <StarmanTheta> 3d6
  684. Nov 01 17:06:00 <CritSenpai> 3d6: 6 [3d6=1,4,1]
  685. Nov 01 17:06:05 <StarmanTheta> Well then
  686. Nov 01 17:06:47 <StarmanTheta> The crowd seems to murmu even more at that. The Gothorita puts on her best face. "Well, you see, even still, there is more foreign occupation than native..." Yet still the crowd doesn't seem to be quelled
  687. Nov 01 17:06:52 <StarmanTheta> they seem to be considering your side
  688. Nov 01 17:07:15 <Diego_Fuego> “I mean look at our group yo."
  689. Nov 01 17:07:47 <Diego_Fuego> “I’m not from Kelele and i’m a foreigner and my girl Poundcake here is from here and we work together. Me and Denel and Spada manage somehow and shit, we all got our flaws."
  690. Nov 01 17:08:03 <StarmanTheta> Poudcake chimes in. "Yeah Diego's cool I guess."
  691. Nov 01 17:08:06 <Diego_Fuego> “But like fr fr, we can work together if we just believe it can work, the league is gonna be good yo.”
  692. Nov 01 17:08:22 <StarmanTheta> alright, deigo, charm or command chek
  693. Nov 01 17:08:31 <Diego_Fuego> 5d6 Chizarm
  694. Nov 01 17:08:31 <CritSenpai> Chizarm: 14 [5d6=1,5,2,1,5]
  695. Nov 01 17:08:44 <StarmanTheta> 3d6
  696. Nov 01 17:08:44 <CritSenpai> 3d6: 11 [3d6=4,4,3]
  697. Nov 01 17:09:25 <StarmanTheta> The pokemon in th ecrowd murmur even more. The gothirita looks a bit flustered. "But how can you say that, when the league has brought an influx of trainers that disrupt our natural life?"
  698. Nov 01 17:09:41 * PepperSpice frowns for a moment. "Besides, if we work together, we can improve relations by teaching those foreign trainers the differences in culture, since they'll look to the league as an authority like other regions. You'll hopefully get more respectful trainers without losing the economic benefit of tourists?"
  699. Nov 01 17:09:47 <StarmanTheta> Yet still, the crowd's chatter seems to be on your side. a few of th epokemon seems o even be getting up and leaving
  700. Nov 01 17:09:51 <Diego_Fuego> “Well, that’s our job. We are gonna be setting the example.”
  701. Nov 01 17:10:35 <Diego_Fuego> “We, a group of natives and foreigners are making sure the league is as positive for you and the trainers and Pepper is really smart yo, like she can teach like the best of them."
  702. Nov 01 17:10:45 <Diego_Fuego> “And that’s like why we work, you know what i mean?"
  703. Nov 01 17:11:15 <StarmanTheta> you know the drill, command or charm checks, pepper, diego
  704. Nov 01 17:11:24 <Diego_Fuego> 5d6 Charm :>
  705. Nov 01 17:11:24 <CritSenpai> Charm :>: 24 [5d6=6,4,6,6,2]
  706. Nov 01 17:11:30 <StarmanTheta> 3d6 pfft
  707. Nov 01 17:11:30 <CritSenpai> pfft: 10 [3d6=1,4,5]
  708. Nov 01 17:11:39 <PepperSpice> 4d6 Command Hopefully
  709. Nov 01 17:11:39 <CritSenpai> Command Hopefully: 15 [4d6=6,3,2,4]
  710. Nov 01 17:11:40 <Denel> "That's mostly because the league is fairly young and lacks the ressources to suitably inform new trainers of what is okay and what isn't. Give the league some time and that problem should not be a problem much longer."
  711. Nov 01 17:12:35 * MariaSpada keeps silent for now, but gives Diego a few appraising looks, before turning her head slightly to the side.
  712. Nov 01 17:12:35 <StarmanTheta> You can feel the mood swinging your way. The pokemon talk with each other in quizzical tones, sant eh gothirita seems hardly able to hold back her frustration and displeasure
  713. Nov 01 17:12:40 <Denel> "Beside we're actively working on resolving the issue. Pepper here is planning to make a few PSAs to inform people of the key differences."
  714. Nov 01 17:13:13 <PepperSpice> 3d6 Intuition on Gothi. Pepper is confused why she seems upset.
  715. Nov 01 17:13:13 <CritSenpai> Intuition on Gothi. Pepper is confused why she seems upset.: 13 [3d6=5,3,5]
  716. Nov 01 17:13:22 <StarmanTheta> You can hear the conversation. "The league working for us?' "But I thought they were bad?" "But look, there's a haxorus working for them, and even some native humans..." "I wonder if they can really help?"
  717. Nov 01 17:13:53 <StarmanTheta> You get the feeling she's frustrated because you're winning over the crowd she has been trying to convince to dislike the League
  718. Nov 01 17:14:21 * Getter looks over to where that conversation is coming from and offers a wave of sorts. Hello. This is axe face. I am friendly.
  719. Nov 01 17:14:29 * Diego_Fuego claps. “If we can’t help then by all means hate the league, but…” He looks to the crowd. “Do you guys think we can give it a try together?"
  720. Nov 01 17:15:38 <StarmanTheta> Pokemon in the crowd are nodding, more conversation between them. "They seem pretty trustworthy..." "Do you think we can trust them?" "Maybe they're not so bad..."
  721. Nov 01 17:16:09 * MariaSpada applauds at Diego's words, "Here here! I wasn't going to say anything, but my teammates who while annoying at times, I've come to value, no matter where they come from. Outside of Kelele or from within. I'm second generation. I was raised by my late mom's Aegislash and Cadmus is my adopted brother from my mom's Charizard. We love our country!"
  722. Nov 01 17:16:49 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus even gives a salute to support you.
  723. Nov 01 17:17:04 <Diego_Fuego> “Won’t you give the foreigners a chance to love the country like you guys do?"
  724. Nov 01 17:17:09 <StarmanTheta> The crowd seems to be on your side. The Gothirita seems to be seething...a human comes up to her and whisper sin her ear.
  725. Nov 01 17:17:38 <Denel> "And just in case you are worried about the league sucking the region's soul and destroying it's roots. I'm a lore keeper and my job is pretty much to make sure it doesn't happens."
  726. Nov 01 17:18:04 <StarmanTheta> Upon hear this, she takes a deep breath and tries to adopt her calm persona. "Hm, yes, you seem to e a virtuous lot...however, there are many that need to be protected, and you are the exception, not the rule."
  727. Nov 01 17:18:11 <StarmanTheta> "But I fear our time here draws short."
  728. Nov 01 17:18:21 * MariaSpada pulls out her sword, and raises it in the air, "A United Kelele protects all of it's denizens, natural or foreign. We're hurting our country more by being so divided."
  729. Nov 01 17:18:39 * Diego_Fuego lifts his fist in the air. “Yeah! All that yo!"
  730. Nov 01 17:18:41 * MariaSpada nods her head at the Gothirita.
  731. Nov 01 17:18:42 <StarmanTheta> "We must be off, to assist others. May we..." her eye twitches. "May we meet a--" her words are drowned out by cheers from the crowd
  732. Nov 01 17:18:58 <Getter> "Only a matter of time before the expection becomes the norm." Getter mumbles.
  733. Nov 01 17:19:22 * Denel walks to the pokemon and make a small bow "If you say so. I trully hope to proove you wrong one day."
  734. Nov 01 17:19:57 <StarmanTheta> The gothirita girts her teeth. "R-right..." she says with barely contained fury. She signals to her companions.
  735. Nov 01 17:20:11 * PepperSpice frowns. For someone claiming to want to help people, she sure seems upset about other people doing so.
  736. Nov 01 17:20:12 <StarmanTheta> And, unceremoniously as the pokemon cheer you, they leave the maintenence room
  737. Nov 01 17:20:58 * Diego_Fuego nods. And looks over at the flying Spritzee as they go. They would make things smell good
  738. Nov 01 17:20:59 * Denel is sort of confused at her reaction. He was genuine in that desire. Oh well at least nothing bad happend.
  739. Nov 01 17:21:54 <StarmanTheta> It seems that you've managed to sway the pokemon of the sewers your way
  740. Nov 01 17:22:35 * Diego_Fuego calls out to a spritzee. “Excuse me!”
  741. Nov 01 17:22:54 <StarmanTheta> The spritzee, flustered at the sudden leaving of the others, speaks up. "Uh, y-yes?"
  742. Nov 01 17:23:04 <Diego_Fuego> “Are you alright?"
  743. Nov 01 17:23:48 <StarmanTheta> "Oh, me? I'm just fine," the spritzee said. "I mean, I get hired for this gig, and then they ditch me, so yeah, I'm just freakin' fine."
  744. Nov 01 17:24:02 * Denel walks up to Pepper. "Do you think you'll need help with the PSAs? If you do I'll be happy to let you bounce ideas off of me."
  745. Nov 01 17:24:14 <Diego_Fuego> “… You get hired for gigs?"
  746. Nov 01 17:24:24 * PepperSpice smiles. "Maybe. I'll keep you in mind, show you some of the ideas when I've got working copies, if you'd like."
  747. Nov 01 17:24:39 <StarmanTheta> "I'm a flying air fresherner...Er, no offense." The spritzee smiles uneasily at the nearest trubbish."
  748. Nov 01 17:24:57 * Diego_Fuego looks. “You’re right… It smells … less strong in here."
  749. Nov 01 17:25:14 * Diego_Fuego looks around. “So… what are you doing after this gig?"
  750. Nov 01 17:25:26 <Denel> "Works for me."
  751. Nov 01 17:26:00 <StarmanTheta> "Heck if I know."
  752. Nov 01 17:26:21 * MariaSpada looks down at Cadmus and shrugs and moves to sheathe her sword, glancing around at the various pokemon and her companions.
  753. Nov 01 17:26:43 <Diego_Fuego> “So… how would you like a guranteed gig for an extended period of time, get to travel the world, and all you have to do is maybe spray some … less savory individuals."
  754. Nov 01 17:26:56 <Diego_Fuego> “And I can turn you into a star."
  755. Nov 01 17:27:29 <StarmanTheta> "Listen, buddy, if it pays more than this, I'm in. I am drowning in debt."
  756. Nov 01 17:27:51 <Diego_Fuego> “It does. I hired that lady there.” He beckons Poundcake over
  757. Nov 01 17:28:08 * PepperSpice wonders absentmindedly how much Diego actually pays his pokemon
  758. Nov 01 17:28:10 <StarmanTheta> Poundcake is too preoocupied flirting with one of the totodiles, but gives a thumbs up
  759. Nov 01 17:28:41 * Denel walk in the conversation "Be careful he pays in mixtapes." before walking away.
  760. Nov 01 17:28:50 * Getter pauses a moment and gives Caliner the pets he deserves. After all. He earned it.
  761. Nov 01 17:28:57 <Diego_Fuego> “I pay with cash."
  762. Nov 01 17:29:08 <Denel> "And mix tapes!"
  763. Nov 01 17:29:47 <StarmanTheta> Caliner is pet!
  764. Nov 01 17:30:03 <StarmanTheta> Wan naW Wan naW Wan naW Wan naW
  765. Nov 01 17:30:10 * PepperSpice didn't get a chance to do any records today, so she's probably sketching out PSA ideas
  766. Nov 01 17:30:25 * Denel goes to pet caliner, it looks fun.
  767. Nov 01 17:30:29 * Diego_Fuego holds out his hand. “Deal?”
  768. Nov 01 17:30:50 <StarmanTheta> Caliner is double pet!
  769. Nov 01 17:31:19 <Denel> "Man you are one fluffy pokemon."
  770. Nov 01 17:31:24 <StarmanTheta> The spritzee looks at your hand, shrugs, and holds out a wing to shake your hand. "Sure."
  771. Nov 01 17:31:29 <Getter> "He really is. Its very nice."
  772. Nov 01 17:31:31 <StarmanTheta> "So, uh, how much am I getting paid?"
  773. Nov 01 17:32:37 <StarmanTheta> Caliner: https://cdn.weasyl.com/static/media/68/98/7a/68987a5cd4fc5ed825f0102be8090bf2318f35368eed528d4cb751a9ffe7fdb7.gif
  774. Nov 01 17:33:07 <Diego_Fuego> “We can figure that out later. You got a name my good friend?"
  775. Nov 01 17:34:38 <StarmanTheta> "Sure, it's..."
  776. Nov 01 17:34:49 <StarmanTheta> somenamingmusic.mp4

  780. Nov 01 17:37:21 * Diego_Fuego hands out mixtapes

  791. Nov 01 17:39:15 <PepperSpice> I had 4 down, but I think we got 2 last time and I forgot to add it, so it sounds about right?
