  1. Nov 22 13:13:20 <StarmanTheta> Last time on Gym Badge Run
  2. Nov 22 13:13:30 <StarmanTheta> After successfully dealing with 19 Souls, the party contacted Okpara. Turns out he had already set you guys up to face the second gym leader, Richter Lawson of Almasi town. As such, you began heading towards the city of ruins, though not without incident.
  3. Nov 22 13:13:38 <StarmanTheta> Along the way, you found several pokemon spooked, and learned of human trainers terrorizing people along the way. In fact, you ran into another such ne'er do well, who seemed to know you guys were League. He was quickly dispatched, but what exactly is up with all this?
  4. Nov 22 13:13:58 <StarmanTheta> In any case, you've now made your way to the next town.
  5. Nov 22 13:13:58 <StarmanTheta> Almasi town stretches before you, a far cry from the urban metropolis of Ujio you just left behind. The town is constructed upon the top and base of a butte, as if it's two layers of town, and the foliage sparse and hardy. The buildings are simple pragmatic designs, in contrast to the flash of Ujio.
  6. Nov 22 13:14:12 <StarmanTheta> A persistent smell of dust and rock fills the air as you enter, and even as you walk along the road, you can see, staring out, wide expanses of ruins, ancient monuments, dig sites—some of which seem to be part of the town itself, as if the place was just built around it.
  7. Nov 22 13:14:16 <StarmanTheta> So....what do?
  8. Nov 22 13:15:26 <PepperSpice> What time is it?
  9. Nov 22 13:15:34 <StarmanTheta> Let's see...
  10. Nov 22 13:16:03 <StarmanTheta> I'd say...around 7:40 pm. The sun is waning in the sky, and it'll be dark in probably about 40 min or so
  11. Nov 22 13:16:44 * Getter takes a moment to take in that smell. "Ahh... this place.... it reminds me of home. Welp. Its a bit late to go gym battling today I think. So! Whose up for looking for a hotel? Or are we camping tonight."
  12. Nov 22 13:16:50 <Getter> ?*
  13. Nov 22 13:17:25 * PepperSpice nods. "I wouldn't mind settling in. Maybe doing some shopping and training tomorrow morning, check out the city before we challenge?"
  14. Nov 22 13:17:27 <denel> "An hotel sounds good."
  15. Nov 22 13:17:35 * TellBot (~skybot@Rizon-966E3E1F.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #GymBadgeRun
  16. Nov 22 13:17:37 <StarmanTheta> Salt turns his nose up at the idea. "The great Salt has had a long day, as has Pepper, and we will not be 'camping' A proper bed for us."
  17. Nov 22 13:17:52 <Diego_Fuego> .dice 1d20 sup bot
  18. Nov 22 13:17:52 <TellBot> Diego_Fuego: sup bot: 20 (1d20=20)
  19. Nov 22 13:18:25 <denel> .dice 3d6 testing
  20. Nov 22 13:18:26 <TellBot> denel: testing: 10 (3d6=3, 4, 3)
  21. Nov 22 13:18:48 <StarmanTheta> Cadmus is still unconscious
  22. Nov 22 13:19:04 * Getter points upward. "Then it is decided, the search for the hotel of sleeping, eating, and healing is now priority one!"
  23. Nov 22 13:19:10 * MariaSpada glances around at the surroundings for a moment before looking at Pepper and the rest of the group, "Yes, we should probably go rest. Cadmus took a big hit from that bug earlier.."
  24. Nov 22 13:19:20 * Diego_Fuego is reading a book.
  25. Nov 22 13:19:31 * Getter then brings his hands down a bit "Then comes looking for a 24 hour mart..."
  26. Nov 22 13:19:49 <Diego_Fuego> “We should like, yo, go you know?"
  27. Nov 22 13:20:42 * PepperSpice nods. "Stop by a center for Cadmus?"
  28. Nov 22 13:20:42 <StarmanTheta> Janis is attempting to read over diego's shoulder. It's not going well
  29. Nov 22 13:21:58 <StarmanTheta> The signs for the pokemon center indicate it's not too far from here
  30. Nov 22 13:22:09 <Diego_Fuego> If Janis read, he’d know this book says “Kelean Literature for Dummies”
  31. Nov 22 13:23:00 * MariaSpada looks decidingly smug at the sight of Diego.
  32. Nov 22 13:23:14 <StarmanTheta> The riolu frowns. "Why are there no pictures in this?"
  33. Nov 22 13:23:38 <Diego_Fuego> “Cuz yo they got words in here you MAKE them with your mind. Damn why you all up in my gril?"
  34. Nov 22 13:24:02 * Getter eventually starts reading over Diego's shoulder as well. "Hmm..."
  35. Nov 22 13:24:17 * denel takes a peek as well
  36. Nov 22 13:24:46 * MariaSpada grins slightly and turns to Pepper again, "Yeah. We'll probably find a hotel by the center too. Shall we?"
  37. Nov 22 13:24:48 <StarmanTheta> Eos is staring into the distance
  38. Nov 22 13:24:53 <denel> .dice 4d6 is that book even accurate
  39. Nov 22 13:24:53 <TellBot> denel: is that book even accurate: 14 (4d6=1, 5, 5, 3)
  40. Nov 22 13:24:54 * PepperSpice shakes her head and starts walking to the center
  41. Nov 22 13:25:26 * MariaSpada follows behind Pepper with a less noticeable but still smug smile on her face.
  42. Nov 22 13:25:56 * denel notices Eos staring "Hey E, is there something wrong?"
  43. Nov 22 13:27:06 <StarmanTheta> The book seems to be pretty accuracte, but is a bit lacking on literature between the Mwezwa and Kuhani dynasties
  44. Nov 22 13:27:30 <StarmanTheta> Eos jolts. "oH. iT iS nOtHiNg"
  45. Nov 22 13:27:48 <Diego_Fuego> “Yo so if you can put prose in a rap, does that mean I can write lyrics in sonnets yo?” He looks over at 808
  46. Nov 22 13:28:51 <denel> "We've been parteners for a while now Eos I can tell something is bugging you."
  47. Nov 22 13:28:51 <StarmanTheta> 808 tilts his head. By which I mean his whole body. "Uh, I...I think? I mean, I don't know, but maybe? IceMan might like ti?"
  48. Nov 22 13:29:17 <Diego_Fuego> “Probably, but enough reading we gots to go to this Center and do work.” closes the book, and picks up 808
  49. Nov 22 13:30:57 <StarmanTheta> Eos shakes his head. "iT iS nOtHiNg. LeT uS gO."
  50. Nov 22 13:31:10 <StarmanTheta> SO heading to the pokemon center, I take it?
  51. Nov 22 13:31:28 <Diego_Fuego> Yes
  52. Nov 22 13:31:51 <denel> "Sure let's go."
  53. Nov 22 13:33:13 * MariaSpada nods.
  54. Nov 22 13:33:46 <StarmanTheta> THe pokemon center is easy to find. The loby is wide open, spacious, and the smell of dust pervades here, even though it is clean. It seems moderately busy, and most of the people and pokemon here are dressed as archaeologists.
  55. Nov 22 13:33:56 * Diego_Fuego looks around
  56. Nov 22 13:34:01 <Diego_Fuego> “Yo, ya’ll scientist or something?"
  57. Nov 22 13:34:06 <Diego_Fuego> “We need help yo"
  58. Nov 22 13:34:46 * MariaSpada peers and walks up to the desk. "Excuse me, my brother got hit really hard by a rock and needs some healing," she says with a slight smile, holding up Cadmus' pokeball where the Charmeleon was resting.
  59. Nov 22 13:34:56 <StarmanTheta> one of the archaeologists looks up, a kelelean man. "Yes? We're about to go back in."
  60. Nov 22 13:34:58 <StarmanTheta> Oh I should point out
  61. Nov 22 13:35:08 <StarmanTheta> the people that arent' the employees fo the center look like archaeologists
  62. Nov 22 13:35:16 <StarmanTheta> like the people being seen and stuff
  63. Nov 22 13:36:41 <StarmanTheta> The nurse on duty, a chansey, takes the pokeball. "Oh my! There are a lot of rocks around here, aren't there? Do not worry, we'll take good care of your brother." She puts the pokeball on a cart rack, to be taken to the revitalization machine. "It should be about an hour."
  64. Nov 22 13:37:38 <Diego_Fuego> “Yeah what are you guys doing here yo?"
  65. Nov 22 13:37:50 <denel> "So is this place the pokemon center or a research center?"
  66. Nov 22 13:38:04 <PepperSpice> Can trainers be treated at these?
  67. Nov 22 13:39:53 <StarmanTheta> Yes
  68. Nov 22 13:40:25 <StarmanTheta> In general, any pokemon center will also treat humans
  69. Nov 22 13:41:32 <PepperSpice> Pepper and Salt will turn themselves in for treatment. Pepper is just down some HP, Salt has an injury as well.
  70. Nov 22 13:41:33 * MariaSpada nods, "The rest of our group may need to be healed up. Do you know of any hotels around here or do you have any rooms?" She asks as she watches the pokeball cart for a moment.
  71. Nov 22 13:44:52 <StarmanTheta> Diego> The man leans back in his chair. "We were cataloguing artifacts recovered from a dig, when one of our coworkers had a fall and hurt himself. We took him here to get him treated, and are waiting on him."
  72. Nov 22 13:45:09 <Diego_Fuego> “Oh what happened yo? Is my boy alright yo?"
  73. Nov 22 13:45:43 <denel> "May I take a look at the artifacts? I know a bunch about Kelele history."
  74. Nov 22 13:46:09 <StarmanTheta> Denel> The chansey replies, "Ah, this place is simply a pokemon center, but most of the patients we treat are researchers. If you're looking for the archaeology research center, it's further north of here, about 4 blocks."
  75. Nov 22 13:46:34 * denel nods at the chancey "Thanks for the information."
  76. Nov 22 13:47:10 <StarmanTheta> Maria> The chansey continues. "We don't have rooms here for travelers, unfortunately, but there is a hotel near the archaeology center." She points to a stand that has pamphets, labeled "Traveler Information" "You may be able to find something there."
  77. Nov 22 13:48:29 * Getter goes and reads one of these pamphlets.
  78. Nov 22 13:48:31 * MariaSpada nods, "Thank you." She goes to pick up a pamphlet and takes a seat, deciding to read while waiting on Cadmus.
  79. Nov 22 13:48:58 <StarmanTheta> Denel, the man looks warily at you. "Uh...sorry, we can't just go showing those to everyone. We've had many problems in the past of people trying to run off with artifacts to sell in overseas smuggling rings."
  80. Nov 22 13:50:17 <denel> "I see, well good luck identifying them. Also out of curiosity what dynasty are the artifacts found around here of?""
  81. Nov 22 13:52:06 <StarmanTheta> The pamphlets have all sorts of tourist information!...by which there is very little.
  82. Nov 22 13:52:18 <StarmanTheta> Only so much you can do to make a dusty town full of dig sites interesting
  83. Nov 22 13:53:29 <StarmanTheta> Let's see
  84. Nov 22 13:53:32 * Diego_Fuego blinks and nods. “Yo, we should go to the archaeology center” He speaks to the group
  85. Nov 22 13:54:10 * MariaSpada looks up at Diego and tilts her head, "I'm waiting on Cadmus. Go on without me, I'll find you."
  86. Nov 22 13:54:23 <StarmanTheta> The other man speaks up. "Most of these ruins are of the Kuhani dynasty. You must be very interested in kelele history."
  87. Nov 22 13:54:37 <StarmanTheta> sec phone
  88. Nov 22 13:54:46 * Getter nods to Diego. It does sound like it could be interesting, and its historical and junk too!
  89. Nov 22 13:55:33 <StarmanTheta> back
  90. Nov 22 13:56:35 * Diego_Fuego blinks. “Right we can wait of course but i’m throwing out ideas yo.” And Diego turns. “Kuhani Dynasty?"
  91. Nov 22 13:56:48 <Diego_Fuego> .dice 2d6 Did i read about that?
  92. Nov 22 13:56:48 <TellBot> Diego_Fuego: Did i read about that?: 5 (2d6=1, 4)
  93. Nov 22 13:56:54 <Diego_Fuego> “What’s that!?"
  94. Nov 22 13:57:01 <denel> "I'm from a nomadic desert tribe, it was rife with various ruins including ancient battlefields."
  95. Nov 22 13:57:25 <StarmanTheta> Diego, the book didn't have much information if any at all about Kuhani dynasty
  96. Nov 22 13:59:44 <StarmanTheta> IN any case
  97. Nov 22 14:00:19 <denel> "Your book didn't cover them. I'll try to look up a book that gives basic info on them."
  98. Nov 22 14:01:19 <StarmanTheta> "The kuhani dynasty," the man begins to explain, " was an empire that ruled most of the southern half of the continent about 1600 years ago. It was so named for the Clefairy-line regents, who ruled it for about 300 years."
  99. Nov 22 14:02:29 <StarmanTheta> "There's not a lot of information about htem, since after the empire fell to internal strife the resulting Yengo dynasty went about claiming and covering up much of the old empire's relics and history."
  100. Nov 22 14:03:34 * Diego_Fuego blinks. “Whoa!? That sounds cool do you think they have some stuff for the Kuhani Dynasty left?"
  101. Nov 22 14:04:25 <denel> "Diego it's a dig site, it's what they dig for here."
  102. Nov 22 14:05:16 <StarmanTheta> "Well," he says, folding his arms, "That's why we're interested here. These are some of the few remaining temples and the like from the dynasty."
  103. Nov 22 14:05:54 * denel ponders something for a while. "You know I never asked what dynasty Eos was from."
  104. Nov 22 14:08:32 <StarmanTheta> Eos doesn't seem to be listening to the conversation...or even in the room. WHere'd he go?
  105. Nov 22 14:09:15 <denel> "...Okay something is really wrong with him today."
  106. Nov 22 14:10:39 * MariaSpada walks over to the group and hums thoughtfully.
  107. Nov 22 14:10:52 <MariaSpada> "We should check out these dig sites.. tomorrow, when we're well rested."
  108. Nov 22 14:11:43 <Diego_Fuego> “Oh okay cool!"
  109. Nov 22 14:11:54 * Diego_Fuego nods. “Sounds good lets get some rest I expect everyone up and early!"
  110. Nov 22 14:12:07 <Diego_Fuego> “Or not cuz i’m going shit for real, yo maybe we could get a gig up there to."
  111. Nov 22 14:12:12 <denel> "I was planing to, but with how weird Eos is acting I might spend time with him to work out what's eating him. I hope I won't have to order him to tell me."
  112. Nov 22 14:12:20 <StarmanTheta> In any case, after about an hour, Cadmus is done being treated. He seems grumpy. "Man, stupid friggin' rock blasts..."
  113. Nov 22 14:13:13 * MariaSpada pats Cadmus on the head, "I know, when I saw that I almost slaughtered the bug myself."
  114. Nov 22 14:13:32 * PepperSpice presumably emerges with Salt around the same time?
  115. Nov 22 14:13:56 <StarmanTheta> 808 starts. "Oh, the gig! I, uh, I'll be making some phone calls," he says, when you get to the hotel
  116. Nov 22 14:13:59 <StarmanTheta> Yes
  117. Nov 22 14:14:20 <StarmanTheta> It's not like salt needed any extensive treatment or anything, or was waiting for you the whole time or something
  118. Nov 22 14:15:26 <StarmanTheta> Do you explore the city anymore after getting ot the hotel, or do you pack it in for the night?
  119. Nov 22 14:15:26 * MariaSpada starts to head off to the hotel.
  120. Nov 22 14:16:03 * PepperSpice mutters something about wanting to check out a TM store to prep for the challenge at some point tomorrow, but follows after Maria.
  121. Nov 22 14:16:20 * Getter will explore a bit. He can live up the night life just a touch.
  122. Nov 22 14:17:26 * denel heads for the hotel and start reading the book on berry salves seriously
  123. Nov 22 14:18:39 * Diego_Fuego explores as well to see how the night scene is
  124. Nov 22 14:22:30 <StarmanTheta> The night scene
  125. Nov 22 14:22:49 <StarmanTheta> is mostly archaeology nerds. This town seems to be primarily based aroudn the ruins
  126. Nov 22 14:23:05 <StarmanTheta> There's a few bars or something with cuties. A jynx hits on you in one of them.
  127. Nov 22 14:23:43 * Diego_Fuego probably attempts to do some sort of open mic gig and if that doesn’t happen probably just goes back to the hotel
  128. Nov 22 14:24:12 * Getter probably go hang with Diego! After all. A dragon and a man going out on the town can't end well at all.
  129. Nov 22 14:24:18 <Getter> can't end Badly*
  130. Nov 22 14:24:31 <StarmanTheta> the jynx also hits on Getter
  131. Nov 22 14:24:37 <StarmanTheta> let's see...
  132. Nov 22 14:24:38 <StarmanTheta> 1d3
  133. Nov 22 14:24:42 <StarmanTheta> .dice 1d3
  134. Nov 22 14:24:43 <TellBot> StarmanTheta: 2 (1d3=2)
  135. Nov 22 14:24:54 <StarmanTheta> At least one of the bars has an open mic night, but the acoustics suck
  136. Nov 22 14:25:21 * Getter is unsure how to handle this for many reasons. One of them benig type advantages.
  137. Nov 22 14:26:29 * PepperSpice works on art in her hotel room, and probably reads a little before bed.
  138. Nov 22 14:27:02 <PepperSpice> Might play around with her crystals a bit.
  139. Nov 22 14:27:21 * MariaSpada just goes to bed.
  140. Nov 22 14:27:27 * denel is a har away from cackling maddly as he mixes berries and medical herb to create odd medecine
  141. Nov 22 14:28:00 <StarmanTheta> Mezeg is slightly worried about Denel's cackling. Usually you don't do that when mixing
  142. Nov 22 14:28:27 <Diego_Fuego> “Yo yo yo yo buddy! Okay so these accoustics are wack.” he points. “Getter can you move that PA speaker over there."
  143. Nov 22 14:28:37 <denel> "Mouhahahahaha!"
  144. Nov 22 14:28:57 * Getter attempts to maybe flirt back a bit, I guess and attempt not to embaress himself... before Diego saves him. "Oop! Gotta help my friend, I'll be back!"
  145. Nov 22 14:29:11 <Diego_Fuego> “Yo who’s the head honcho around herE?"
  146. Nov 22 14:29:25 * Getter proceeds ot lift the speaker and move it where Diego directed.
  147. Nov 22 14:29:57 <StarmanTheta> The jynx blows a kiss your way as you leave, Getter, and mouths, 'call me'
  148. Nov 22 14:31:11 * MariaSpada is now known as Jynx
  149. Nov 22 14:31:15 * Getter just shudders.
  150. Nov 22 14:31:16 <Jynx> "Lewd"
  151. Nov 22 14:31:27 * Jynx is now known as Jynx_Babe
  152. Nov 22 14:31:34 * Jynx_Babe winks at Getter.
  153. Nov 22 14:31:43 <StarmanTheta> THe head honcho happens to be a honchkrow
  154. Nov 22 14:32:18 * Getter is unsure how to handle these feelings and is unsure if he needs to drink more...or less. That said...The Jynx girl was pretty good looking...but...No. Nope. No thinking about it.
  155. Nov 22 14:32:55 * Jynx_Babe is going to dream about Getter tonight when she's... polishing her berry.
  156. Nov 22 14:33:00 * Jynx_Babe is now known as MariaSpada
  157. Nov 22 14:33:02 <StarmanTheta> OK THAT'S ENOUGH
  158. Nov 22 14:33:07 <StarmanTheta> MOVING ON
  159. Nov 22 14:33:15 <StarmanTheta> We're moving to the next day
  160. Nov 22 14:34:17 <StarmanTheta> The sun is blaring down, as per usual, in the morning. at some point, Eos showed back up in the hotel room, though it was after you went to sleep.
  161. Nov 22 14:34:47 <denel> "Morning Eos, feeling better?"
  162. Nov 22 14:35:03 * Diego_Fuego is awake, but groggy. He doesn’t remember that show"
  163. Nov 22 14:35:17 <Diego_Fuego> .dice 5d6+2 was it good though?
  164. Nov 22 14:35:17 <TellBot> Diego_Fuego: was it good though?: 25 (5d6+2=5, 4, 6, 5, 3)
  165. Nov 22 14:35:27 <StarmanTheta> "nEvEr BeTtEr. LeT's GeT mOvInG tOwArDs ThE gYm."
  166. Nov 22 14:35:52 * Getter is just laying on his bed. He remembers the show. He just doesn't feel like talking about it.
  167. Nov 22 14:36:05 <denel> "I was thinking of looking through the town first."
  168. Nov 22 14:36:29 <StarmanTheta> Checking your phone, you can see that you've got a lot more likes and follows on you and IceMan's label's pixelate and chatter accounts, so it was probably a success.
  169. Nov 22 14:36:53 <StarmanTheta> "oH. oF cOuRsE. wElL oKaY."
  170. Nov 22 14:37:06 * PepperSpice rises early and takes out her team to train--and introduce to each other, now that there's a new partner!
  171. Nov 22 14:38:11 * MariaSpada heads outside to train with her team and new member. She instantly gets into a sparring match with Mulan, while Caddy and Percy get to bond like the lazy mon they are.
  172. Nov 22 14:38:37 * Getter might as well get some pattened pending BRUTAL training in with everyone. He's gonna teach them how its done. No flirting involved.
  173. Nov 22 14:38:48 * PepperSpice waves at Maria, calling over for her to come talk to her after work. In the meantime, she applies inspired to her mon.
  174. Nov 22 14:39:31 * denel me notice the others training and goes to do the same "Well in any case let's do our morning routine first."
  175. Nov 22 14:39:54 <StarmanTheta> spearmint doesn't appear out of his pokeball. He just...rises up from behind one of the small monuments they have on the hotel grounds
  176. Nov 22 14:41:27 * PepperSpice just kind of stares at Mint for a few seconds. "When did you...?"
  177. Nov 22 14:41:50 <PepperSpice> "...never mind. Um. Hi! Meet Cinnamon and Salt!"
  178. Nov 22 14:42:16 * Diego_Fuego stands up groaning. “UGH” He trains too
  179. Nov 22 14:42:43 <StarmanTheta> Janis is all for training! Training is fun, and she gets to punch things. Sorta.
  180. Nov 22 14:43:08 <Diego_Fuego> “C’mon Poundcake, we gotta keep your body hardened and my headache away”
  181. Nov 22 14:43:16 <Diego_Fuego> 808 is there too, probably playing workout music
  182. Nov 22 14:43:29 <denel> "So, uh.... awkward question Eos but... what dynasty are you from? I never actually asked. -if you don't want to tell me it's fine though."
  183. Nov 22 14:43:44 <StarmanTheta> Pepper> Ignoring your first question, he nods to CInnamon and Salt. "Hm. very well. I hope you're as strong as you say." Salt seems miffed. "That you would even doubt the great Salt for a moment is disheartening indeed," while cinnamon rolls her eyes.
  184. Nov 22 14:44:03 <Diego_Fuego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t64OXKVGvk <— Working OUT
  185. Nov 22 14:44:34 <StarmanTheta> 808 has a sweatband on as he plays the music for you. "yYeah! let's get those bodies WARMED UP!" The windows on the hotel shake. "S-sorry..."
  186. Nov 22 14:44:59 * MariaSpada will join Pepper in a moment, Mulan is getting much better with that bokken
  187. Nov 22 14:45:32 <StarmanTheta> And she stopped gnawing on it! THat's impressive
  188. Nov 22 14:45:50 <Diego_Fuego> “Okay okay okay I’m sweating out the alcohol GOD 808”
  189. Nov 22 14:46:33 <StarmanTheta> "Sheesh, how hammered did youg et?" poundcake asks, as she bench presses Cadmus. "And why didn't you invite me?"
  190. Nov 22 14:47:18 <StarmanTheta> In any case, after your morning training, what did you guys plan to do?
  191. Nov 22 14:48:07 <MariaSpada> ...
  192. Nov 22 14:48:19 * MariaSpada pauses and watches Poundcake.
  193. Nov 22 14:48:34 * PepperSpice will walk over to Maria after returning Cinnamon and...Mint, or letting him vanish or...really whatever.
  194. Nov 22 14:48:37 * Getter is going to go to the store, probably buy some potions.
  195. Nov 22 14:48:44 <StarmanTheta> Poundcake looks at Maria. "What?"
  196. Nov 22 14:48:46 * MariaSpada smiles, "Yes Pepper?"
  197. Nov 22 14:48:50 <Diego_Fuego> “Getter was there ughhh, I was giving you a day off."
  198. Nov 22 14:49:11 * Diego_Fuego drinks like 3 bottles of water and is probably gonna go check out stores with Getter
  199. Nov 22 14:49:13 <StarmanTheta> Spearmint just seems to sink down and vanish behind the monument
  200. Nov 22 14:50:51 <StarmanTheta> Ok
  201. Nov 22 14:51:29 <PepperSpice> "Hey! I noticed you recruited a grass type. I made something for you. Or...them, I guess. For the rock gym." She says, pulling a shiny green crystal accessory.
  202. Nov 22 14:51:39 <StarmanTheta> Stores are about what you expect. You got your regular pokemarts, lots of places for survival and spelunking equipment. Some occult shops, a move tutor service
  203. Nov 22 14:51:56 <PepperSpice> The accessory is obviously a tiny green crystal crown pendant.
  204. Nov 22 14:52:26 * MariaSpada thanks Pepper with a smile and blinks, "Shall we join the boys in shopping now?"
  205. Nov 22 14:52:30 <StarmanTheta> Not as great as Salt's crown pendant, but of course none could be as great as Salt's
  206. Nov 22 14:53:22 <PepperSpice> "Of course! I was thinking about looking at some of the TMs..."
  207. Nov 22 14:55:04 <StarmanTheta> TMs huh
  208. Nov 22 14:55:04 * Getter is gonna snag some super potions. Like. 3 of them.
  209. Nov 22 14:56:05 * Diego_Fuego grabs a few potions
  210. Nov 22 14:56:58 <StarmanTheta> In town ther is...Rock Polish, Psych up, Rock Tomb, and Strength
  211. Nov 22 14:58:04 * denel goes to explore the town looking mostly for old dig sites and the potential artifacts that were missed
  212. Nov 22 14:58:43 * MariaSpada looks at the various TMs with a thoughtful look on her face.
  213. Nov 22 14:59:01 * Diego_Fuego does the same, stroking his facial hair. “Yo some of these look dope."
  214. Nov 22 14:59:51 <StarmanTheta> There's a few dig sites that are open to public use, but they tend to be more preserved as museums for the public and as such are picked over. THe other ones are closed to the public
  215. Nov 22 15:01:36 <denel> "Okay so now that the others aren't here could you tell me what that was all about yesterday, Eos? It looked like you say a shadow of the past or something."
  216. Nov 22 15:02:03 <StarmanTheta> Eos was walking with you, but stops when you say that. "..."
  217. Nov 22 15:03:08 * PepperSpice hums, looking at the TM, before shaking her head. "Anything interest you?"
  218. Nov 22 15:04:21 <StarmanTheta> Eos sighs a mechanical sigh. "i Do NoT kNoW."
  219. Nov 22 15:04:25 <denel> "If you really don't want to talk about it, tell me cllearly why and I'll stop but I'll keep asking so long as don't tell me why or what that was about. I'm worried about you you know ever since I met you you've been pretty much my only friend."
  220. Nov 22 15:04:51 <StarmanTheta> "sOmEtHiNg Is FaMiLiAr AbOuT tHiS pLaCe"
  221. Nov 22 15:05:37 * MariaSpada shakes her head at Pepper. "THe strength looks interesting possibly, but I've been working out so I might hit that peak eventually anyway.."
  222. Nov 22 15:05:44 <denel> "Really? Maybe you lived here at some point in your life."
  223. Nov 22 15:05:52 * MariaSpada hums, "LEt's go to the move tutor."
  224. Nov 22 15:06:16 <StarmanTheta> "bUt I dO nOt KnOw WhAt" He puts a hand over one of the gaps in his shell, and makes what you guess approximates a wince for a ghost robot. "iT iS pOsSiBlE. bUt It FiLlS mE wItH wOrRy."
  225. Nov 22 15:06:31 <StarmanTheta> "pErHaPs It Is NoThInG."
  226. Nov 22 15:06:39 * PepperSpice nods. "I think I need to make a phone call, though," She says as they walk. "I was hoping I could just find something in person, but..."
  227. Nov 22 15:08:14 <denel> "If I've mearned anything when dealing with the super natural is not to dismiss strange feelings like that. I'll keep an eye open for anything weird, or that could be related to you. It'd be neat if we could find a way to fix you here."
  228. Nov 22 15:11:16 <StarmanTheta> As for tutors, there's a CHanging Viewpoints tutor for 1000 a pop, and as for moves, there's Hex, Ancient Power, and Mud Bomb all for 2500p each
  229. Nov 22 15:12:00 <StarmanTheta> "tHaNk YoU...tHoUgH, i FeEl ThAt WoN't Be ThE cAsE"
  230. Nov 22 15:13:28 * PepperSpice dials the merchant while Maria looks around at the tutors.
  231. Nov 22 15:13:45 <StarmanTheta> Ring...ring...ring...click!
  232. Nov 22 15:13:57 * Diego_Fuego loosk at Tutors too
  233. Nov 22 15:14:12 <StarmanTheta> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH2SesjTjQM "Meeeeyes! Marcato here! How may I help you?"
  234. Nov 22 15:14:28 * PepperSpice waits for spagetti.
  235. Nov 22 15:14:51 <PepperSpice> (I mean, uh.) "Hey, it's Pepper. Are you taking orders?"
  236. Nov 22 15:15:56 <StarmanTheta> "Oh! Pepper!" The cat's voice lights up. "GLad to hear from you, gosh, i was worried you guys would never call! Or, uh, you'd rat me out...but mostly not call!"
  237. Nov 22 15:16:10 <StarmanTheta> "Yes, yes, I'm taking orders! What can I get you?"
  238. Nov 22 15:17:02 <PepperSpice> "I'm looking for a TM, and they don't seem to have it in town. Any chance you could hook me up with a Brick Break TM? Ideally before this afternoon."
  239. Nov 22 15:17:31 * MariaSpada doesn't see anything she likes.
  240. Nov 22 15:18:30 <StarmanTheta> "Brick break! Lemme see"...a lot of shuffling around, things clinking, some stuff falling over and crashing..."Ah! We have it in stock! I can have my guy send it over right away. You're calling from...where again?"
  241. Nov 22 15:18:58 <Diego_Fuego> “Oh pepper!"
  242. Nov 22 15:19:13 <PepperSpice> "Almasi," Pepper replies. "What amount should I have ready for him?"
  243. Nov 22 15:19:28 * PepperSpice glances over at Diego and waves, but doesn't put the dex down.
  244. Nov 22 15:20:25 <StarmanTheta> "Almasi, that's no problem at all. He can be there in an hour. As for the amount, well..." there's a certain gleam in his voice. "Normally, these go for abotu 2400, but since you saved me AND you're a new customer, I can give you a discount. How does 1900 sound?"
  245. Nov 22 15:22:27 * PepperSpice grins. "Sounds perfect. I'll see you soon!"
  246. Nov 22 15:23:36 <StarmanTheta> "Naturally! Thank you for shopping with us!"
  247. Nov 22 15:23:41 <StarmanTheta> "And you didn't get it from me!"
  248. Nov 22 15:23:42 <StarmanTheta> click
  249. Nov 22 15:25:22 <StarmanTheta> In any case
  250. Nov 22 15:25:33 <StarmanTheta> hm, time is drawing close, so two things left
  251. Nov 22 15:25:37 <StarmanTheta> In about an hour...
  252. Nov 22 15:25:46 <StarmanTheta> You hear the sounds of an engine roaring
  253. Nov 22 15:25:58 <StarmanTheta> and suddenly, a Delibird on a vespa screeches in front of you all
  254. Nov 22 15:26:09 <StarmanTheta> *screeches to a stop
  255. Nov 22 15:26:48 <StarmanTheta> It looks to denel, takes out a small bag, and tosses it to him. It contains 400pyen and a note from Marcato, saying this is his cut for the cleanse tag sales
  256. Nov 22 15:26:58 <StarmanTheta> then looks to pepper, holding out a wing expectantly
  257. Nov 22 15:27:04 <denel> "Neat."
  258. Nov 22 15:27:45 * PepperSpice smiles and hands out her stack of cash. "1900 accounted for!" She says cheerfully.
  259. Nov 22 15:28:10 <StarmanTheta> The delibird takes the money, counts it, and nods putting it away. It then takes out a brick break TM and hands it to Pepper
  260. Nov 22 15:28:22 <StarmanTheta> it nods to you all, revs up its vespa, and zooms away
  261. Nov 22 15:29:23 * PepperSpice slips it into her pocket with the second necklace she made the night before and grins.
  262. Nov 22 15:29:43 <Diego_Fuego> “Right Pepper! Yo, you think i could see Salt?
  263. Nov 22 15:29:58 <Diego_Fuego> “After working out today I think I can help ‘em out."
  264. Nov 22 15:30:01 <StarmanTheta> Also, your pokedexes ring
  265. Nov 22 15:30:10 * denel oicks up
  266. Nov 22 15:30:24 <StarmanTheta> It appears to be Celes
  267. Nov 22 15:30:27 * PepperSpice starts to answer and snorts as her dex rings again. She answers, nodding at Diego. "Up to him. I don't have a problem with it."
  268. Nov 22 15:30:41 <StarmanTheta> "Hello...hey, you guys there?"
  269. Nov 22 15:30:54 <denel> "Who's this?"
  270. Nov 22 15:31:03 <StarmanTheta> "It's Celes, from Ujio."
  271. Nov 22 15:31:14 <denel> "Oh hello doctor."
  272. Nov 22 15:31:37 <StarmanTheta> "I wanted to call and thank you again for the feedback. Also, I unno what you did...but now there's a ton of trubbish and totodile who've been coming by."
  273. Nov 22 15:31:57 <StarmanTheta> "They seem really interested in the gym and stuff. It's actually kinda cute."
  274. Nov 22 15:32:38 <denel> "We'be had a run in with 29 souls and kiiiinda crashed a meeting and changed the people's mind there with words."
  275. Nov 22 15:32:50 <StarmanTheta> "Ah, but you're probably busy, about to face off against Richter and all...Oh?"
  276. Nov 22 15:33:14 <StarmanTheta> "Hm, that explains it. I've been hearing about people trying to make the league look bad...well, good job, doin' that. I've got a lot more pupils now 'cause of it."
  277. Nov 22 15:35:20 <StarmanTheta> "Oh, shoot, gotta go. Welding lessons are starting up. You say hi to Richter for me, and good luck with the gym challenge!"
  278. Nov 22 15:35:21 <StarmanTheta> click
  279. Nov 22 15:35:26 <StarmanTheta> seems like she's not one for long conversations
  280. Nov 22 15:35:37 <Diego_Fuego> “Damn that bitch is fine asf"
  281. Nov 22 15:36:49 * Diego_Fuego turns to salt
  282. Nov 22 15:36:56 <Diego_Fuego> “So yo, you wanna learn some cool tricks?"
  283. Nov 22 15:37:49 <StarmanTheta> "The great Salt is more than capable of learning 'cool tricks' on his own, but I shall humor you. After all, you will need the practice."
  284. Nov 22 15:38:58 * PepperSpice looks at the group. "Speaking of Richter...wanna go see what we're up against later?"
  285. Nov 22 15:40:22 <Diego_Fuego> “Alright well how about we see if we can work out them legs.” He points “808 music”
  286. Nov 22 15:40:47 <StarmanTheta> 808 gets his soundtrack together...
  287. Nov 22 15:41:00 <Diego_Fuego> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTLhfRGCZq0
  288. Nov 22 15:42:02 <StarmanTheta> Anyway
  289. Nov 22 15:42:17 <StarmanTheta> so do you guys start looking around?
  290. Nov 22 15:42:29 <denel> yes
  291. Nov 22 15:43:18 <StarmanTheta> Alright
  292. Nov 22 15:44:00 * Diego_Fuego looks around after the work out
  293. Nov 22 15:44:11 <StarmanTheta> I'm just gonna speed this up sicne you'd find it eventually, but looking around town you eventually find your way back to the archaeology center
  294. Nov 22 15:44:25 <StarmanTheta> As there doesnt' seem to be anything explicitly labeled gym here
  295. Nov 22 15:44:45 <StarmanTheta> the archaeology center is a vast place, with a lobby displaying tons of kelelean art, treasures, relics, etc
  296. Nov 22 15:45:22 * denel takes a good look at the displays, wondering if they have any with rocks
  297. Nov 22 15:45:32 <denel> *giant rocks
  298. Nov 22 15:45:34 <StarmanTheta> There's a lot of them with rocks
  299. Nov 22 15:45:45 <StarmanTheta> There's even a few with tiny jewel like rocks
  300. Nov 22 15:45:55 * Getter does the same. "Hmm... oh! I've seen this one, they based Ira off this piece for that one game..."
  301. Nov 22 15:45:56 * PepperSpice is immediately enraptured.
  302. Nov 22 15:46:35 * PepperSpice spends approximately a lot of time peering at the jewels and rocks and muttering to herself in disjointed sentences
  303. Nov 22 15:46:37 <denel> "Design who for what?"
  304. Nov 22 15:47:22 <StarmanTheta> There's also a reception counter, and a directory for the offices there
  305. Nov 22 15:48:03 * Diego_Fuego looks at the rocks and then walks up to reh reception counter
  306. Nov 22 15:48:12 <Diego_Fuego> “Yooooooo you think they got that Kuhanwi?"
  307. Nov 22 15:48:54 <StarmanTheta> The receptionist, a simisear, blinks. "Um...I'm sorry?"
  308. Nov 22 15:49:14 <Diego_Fuego> “I mean uh do you know where a … Who are we looking for again?"
  309. Nov 22 15:49:49 * Diego_Fuego turns to the group
  310. Nov 22 15:50:00 <StarmanTheta> 808 whispers to you. "Richter Lawson!"
  311. Nov 22 15:50:03 * Getter comments "We're looking for a Ricther I believe, correct? Although he's not a belmont."
  312. Nov 22 15:50:12 <StarmanTheta> it's less of a whisper and more normal conversational volume, but that's a whisper for him
  313. Nov 22 15:51:18 <StarmanTheta> "Oh! Mr. Lawson! He's in his office...or he's supposed to be."
  314. Nov 22 15:51:33 <Diego_Fuego> “Lawson!"
  315. Nov 22 15:51:46 <StarmanTheta> He taps his fingers together. "Erm, actually, the truth is, Mr. Lawson went on a dig recently, to explore a recently unearthed temple
  316. Nov 22 15:51:53 <denel> "We're from the League evalution program."
  317. Nov 22 15:52:03 <StarmanTheta> "He said he'd be back last night, but he hasn't returned yet."
  318. Nov 22 15:52:17 <denel> "Really? that doesn't sound good."
  319. Nov 22 15:52:26 <denel> "Unless he does that often."
  320. Nov 22 15:52:28 <StarmanTheta> "Oh! The league! Yes, I heard something about that, league challengers. And yes, he's normally never this late..."
  321. Nov 22 15:53:04 <StarmanTheta> "Actually, since you're with the league, do you think you can look for him? I'd get the other archaeologists, but they've all been too busy...or just wrapped up in their respective grants."
  322. Nov 22 15:53:12 * denel looks at the others "Should we wait or go look for him?"
  323. Nov 22 15:53:37 <Diego_Fuego> “Yeah sure where is he?"
  324. Nov 22 15:53:49 <Getter> "Well... considering he hasn't come back, something may have happened."
  325. Nov 22 15:53:55 <denel> "I'm not going to say no to trecking around an ancient temple."
  326. Nov 22 15:54:42 * PepperSpice looks up at Denels words, starry eyed. "Please?"
  327. Nov 22 15:55:01 <Diego_Fuego> “I mean what if we find some Kuhani people stuffs?"
  328. Nov 22 15:55:07 <Diego_Fuego> “We could make the dopest song with that."
  329. Nov 22 15:55:15 <StarmanTheta> "Well, don't tell anyone I told you, but it's a little ways from here. It's about a mile east...here, you have pokedexes, right? I can give you GPS coordinates..."
  330. Nov 22 15:55:29 <denel> "What is it with your Kuhani obsession Diego?"
  331. Nov 22 15:55:37 * Getter reaches into his scarf and pulls his out. "We have them, yeah."
  332. Nov 22 15:55:52 <Diego_Fuego> “I don’t know what it is and i like learning damn why you up in my grill too?"
  333. Nov 22 15:55:56 * Diego_Fuego rolls his eyes
  334. Nov 22 15:56:41 <StarmanTheta> He gives you the gps coordinates, as well as the basic directions to get there and what you're looking for. Seems about a half-hour walk from here
  335. Nov 22 15:57:42 <StarmanTheta> So I take it you guys plan to go there?
  336. Nov 22 15:57:48 * denel shrug "I just didn't expect someone to be that into something they learned existed the day before is all. Your attitude is comendable though, I wish more foreigners did the same."
  337. Nov 22 15:57:55 <denel> yes
  338. Nov 22 15:57:58 * PepperSpice would like to see someone try to stop her~!
  339. Nov 22 15:58:15 * Getter is totally going.
  340. Nov 22 15:59:21 <StarmanTheta> Right
  341. Nov 22 15:59:27 <StarmanTheta> Well, with direction to thesight
  342. Nov 22 15:59:29 <StarmanTheta> *site
  343. Nov 22 15:59:42 <StarmanTheta> your party heads out. Hopefully, the second gym leader is alright...right?
  344. Nov 22 15:59:46 <StarmanTheta> I think we'll end there for today
  345. Nov 22 16:00:10 <denel> that was fun
  346. Nov 22 16:00:20 <StarmanTheta> You gain 1 TEXP for that
