Savage's Mini

<CounterBeard> It is THE DAY AFTER tryouts and total mind fuckery. The Scouts have a ew days off while Henry establishes the gym plans as well as while you all figure out your next destination. Where would Savage be in all this commotion?
* Savage needs to take time first off to nurse his allies back onto their feet (Well, for the one that has feet) and whatnot because contest shenanigans.  But the construction and PAPERWORK and such things bore him.
<Savage> So it's probably not long before he is getting into some form of mischief, whether inside the town or out of it.
<CounterBeard> As Savage tends to his little buddies outside of town he notices Henry in full BEEKEEPING suit wander out of the city limits.
<Savage> He headtilts a little and packs up his companions - Gabbery kind of balances half on and half over one shoulder and Senthat is still Senthat (For the moment) and Wotter is pulled into his arms.  It seems to have occured to him he doesn't know much about the guy who -did- win, and so...
<CounterBeard> Henry is too busy trying to figure a way into the swamp and muttering to himself in a language Savages does not know.
* Savage approaches him a little, most curious for now.  He's silent for a bit, then... "Hey!  What's up~!"
<CounterBeard> Henry jumps a little before turning to Savage "Oh! Hello Savage! I needed break from all of paperwork and planning, thought I would see largest part of new home. One of many reasons I wanted to be the Gym Leader here is the diversity of life. Bug types especially."
<Savage> "You too, hm~?" Savage grins a little.  "It's pretty neat out here, yeah!  All kinds of life out here I wouldn't have seen at home!"
<CounterBeard> He nods, "Old home for me is in Titans Maw. Many interesting lives there. All tough, born to survive harsh lands. Here, is similar but where life in Maw is about surviving without water here is about THRIVING on."
<Savage> "Mmm... I think I know what you mean!" he taps one hand in the other, grinning.  "I'm still not sure if I like all this water, buuuuut my friends sure don't seem to mind, so~"
<CounterBeard> Henry takes off his beekeepr mask, his bald pockscarred face revealing a huge grin. "Is nice to have place where friends can live happily. Not sure they would like it to much in my old home! OH speaking of friend, Young Timmy had interesting little spider pokemon. Never seen one before, you know morea bout it?"
<Savage> "Oh, you saw it too?" Savage's grin is wide.  "I asked him... he said they're called, uh... Joltik, yeah, yeah!  I'm pretty sure they can be found around here..."
<CounterBeard> "Most good! I was interested in finding. You care to join?"
<Savage> "Sure!  I wouldn't mind meeting some myself~!"
<CounterBeard> "Most good! Let us go investigate!" He scratches his chin staring into the swamp. "Friend Savage, you do not care for water, yes? This may be more difficult than thought."
<Savage> "Hm.  Well, last time I was able to cross some of it just with a few good jumps here and there," Savage taps his chin, looking up to the trees overhead.  "Maybe..."
<CounterBeard> (gonna try and go monkey status? swinging through trees?)
<Savage> (That's the idea :3 )
<CounterBeard> Rollit dex
<Savage> 1d20+2 let's try this then
<CounterBeard> (unless I am forgetting genetic feats that let you do it)
<Savage> (Not really, but we have forgotten something else)

<CounterBeard> 9Deerp)
<Savage> 1d20+2
<DiceMaid-9001> Savage, 1d20+2: 6 [1d20=4]
<Savage> (dicemaid you bitch)
* YellowYoshi (josh.fenne@sux-2EF76B2A.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has joined #TalentScouts
<Savage> (And no I can't rely on Altering Legs -just- yet.  That might be next level)
<CounterBeard> Savage makes a wild jump but just misses the branch he was aiming for. You do land in the shallows of the far bank though.
* Gents is now known as Bruiser_Mao
<CounterBeard> (Herro yoshi)
<Savage> Well -that- didn't quite work how it was supposed to!  He flails a little and drags himself up out of the water quickly, doing his best to keep balance... more for his companions sake than his.  It's not exactly the most graceful show!
<CounterBeard> "Wow, that was a great leap Friend Savage!" Henry follows wading waist deep in the water.
<Savage> "Haha... yeah, but these trees are a little trickier than the ones back home!" he laughs it off, although it's a bit... hesitant?  Still, anything that might have been bothering him is gone pretty quick.  "You gonna be okay crossing like that?"
<CounterBeard> He wades along "Oh yes, not nearly as bad as sandtraps made by pinsir. Just wetter."
<Savage> "Well, alright!" Savage smirks a little, looking down at his mildly soaked pants.  Ugh it's kind of uncomfortable really.  "Maybe the water just bothers me more then~"
<CounterBeard> "Maybe..OH I know, come on out little one~" Henry lets out a little weedle "Go help friend Savage, make nice strong silke for him to swing with!"
* YellowYoshi has quit (Quit: )
* YellowYoshi (josh.fenne@sux-2EF76B2A.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has joined #TalentScouts
<CounterBeard> Th weelde fires of a strand of silk and swings on over to Savage, crawling up onto his shoulder.
<Savage> "Eh?  A silk... swing?" he watches curiously... and then seems to get excited.  "That... that looks AWESOME!"
<CounterBeard> Henry nods "Is old trick from old days. Little one will fire off strands of silk for you to swing from while I walk through murk!"
<CounterBeard> He then starts to walk through the murk in earnest staring at every tree as he trucks through.
<Savage> "Hahaha!  This sounds great!" Savage seems pumped about the idea.  "Hmm... maybe if I do find a Joltik they can do that too!  Okay!  Let's see here... Timmy said they're... thataway!"
<CounterBeard> The weelde fires off several strands of about finger thick silk at the way Savage points "Weeeeeee"
<Savage> Savage gives it a bit of a tug to test it out... and then becomes Tarzan.  Except instead of a wild call it's more of a "WHEEEEE~"
<CounterBeard> "Weeeee~"
<Savage> He probably gets quite a bit ahead before it occurs to him to slow down and wait for Henry to catch up.  And frankly his Companions probably look like they could use a moment to stop screaming and clinging to him for dear life.
<CounterBeard> The trek takes you a while, eventually you leave Henry behind. Swinging like tarzan is really fast! The weedle seems to be enjoying itself a lot too. Fairly soon you can spot webs adorning many of the trees you pass...Gimmie perception and Dex.
<Savage> 1d20+2 here's the good roll; 1d20-3 meanwhile back in wisdom stat
<DiceMaid-9001> Savage, here's the good roll: 10 [1d20=8]; meanwhile back in wisdom stat: 9 [1d20=12]
<CounterBeard> Savage just manages to spot a hueg web right infront of where his is swining, he drops down onto a patch of dryland right underneath it almost ending up like a beautifly in a web.
<Savage> "Woah.... Woah~!" Savage seems more excited by it than the endangered he probably should feel.  His companions are a little smarter about it, looking around almost expectantly.  "Okay, we must have found... something!"
<CounterBeard> Looks like you made it to...The land of Webs. Mygod look at them all. You can seep large silk cocoons littering the webs as well as smaller ones. Looks like what ever lives here has been eating well.
<Savage> "Mmm... You get the feeling we're in someone's home?" it seems to have occured to him finally where he is.  "...These are actually pretty big... this might be a little dangerous, actually!  So... you guys be careful, okay?" despite his words he still has a big grin on his face.
<CounterBeard> "Spin?"
<Savage> "Hm?" he's pretty sure he just heard someone that -wasn't- one of his buddies, and now he's looking around for it.  "Hello~~"
<CounterBeard> A little spinarak slides down on a bit of web. "Spin?" =o
<Savage> "Well hi there!" Savage grins at it, waving.  It's not -quite- what he was looking for but it seems friendly enough.  To him.
<CounterBeard> It waves one of its legs and clacks its pincers together. "Spin?" it points to the little Cherrim. =D
<Savage> "Hmm?  Are you friends?" he looks to Gabbery to see the magical talking berry's reaction.
<CounterBeard> It tries to scoot away from the spider. "Spiiiinarak =D" It clacks its pincers again trying to swing towards you.
<Savage> "...?" Savage seems confused for a moment, but he seems to catch what's going on from Gabbery's reaction.  "Hey, hey, he's not for eating!  He's my friend!"
<CounterBeard> The face on its back starts to frown and then it crawls back up its web. "Spin!" =(
<Savage> "Fine, fine~!  We'll go somewhere else!" Savage nods, waving to it almost friendly all the same.  "But... they're supposed to be around here -somewhere-, right?"
<CounterBeard> Henry finally makes it up to you covered in muck and grime a huge smile still on his face 'This place is wonderful saw many new bug types made some of them my friend!"
* Savage nods to Henry.  "Yup!  Some of 'em thought Gabbery was food, though..." he points to the web.  "But I haven't seen any adorable little Joltik yet..."
<CounterBeard> "Oh yes, many bugtype find grass type very tasty. Is big problem if you want to have both together."
<Savage> "Oh... well, they're gonna have to behave themselves then!" he crosses his arms a little.  "I mean, Gabbery's nice enough not to attack Wotter, so..."
<CounterBeard> "Hmm, is good berry pokemon. But we are here for electric spiders!"
<Savage> "That we are!" Savage grins... then flinches.  "Wait, electric?  They can -do that-?"
<Savage> How the hell did he not notice during the competition come on Savage.
<CounterBeard> "Oh yes! is great defensive against Flying type one of bug worst enemies. Would cover friend Gabbery too."
<Savage> "Ooooh~?  Oh, that's the... that, uh, 'type' stuff, isn't it?" he rubs the back of his head, laughing a little.
<CounterBeard> Henry nods. "I try not to think about type too much. I just like bug! You would like honeyhive back in old hom, many combee and vespiquen and tasty good honey!"
<Savage> "Oh man, that does sound good!" Savage licks his lips, grinning wide.  "I wonder if you could set one up here, too..."
<CounterBeard> "Oh yes! You have not heard, is what I plan to do in Gym! Hives, and webs and if triface attack he will face THE PAIN. Combee and beedrill are dangerous in swarm."
<CounterBeard> "Other idea was have joltik for web and keep triface from escape."
<Savage> "Hmm... that sounds like a good idea!" Savage nods.  "...I mean... if you have to."
<CounterBeard> Henry whispers conspiritorialy "I mostly just want honeyhive and pokemon with me. Be just like home."
<Savage> "Ohhh?  I see, I see!" Savage cheers up, forgetting whatever was killing his enthusiasm.  "Well, I don't see any problem with that!"
<CounterBeard> "But now is time for new friend! Maybe be near water?"
<Savage> "Hmm... well, if it's electric, it seems like it might be able to fry up a snack from the water, so yeah!" it's a spider Savage and it's tinier than any fish it would take down your idea is silly.
<CounterBeard> As you both explore you see a network of webs over the water. You can spy groups of the little spiders all hovering over openings like ice fisherman.
<Savage> Oh god Savage was right.  And frankly he looks just as surprised by this fact.  "Eh?  What're they... doing?"
<CounterBeard> "I have no idea..." One of the spiders slowly decends on the water and splashes it's tiny foot in the water and quickly rushes back topweb.
<CounterBeard> After a few moments a basculin jumps out of the water looking for the tasty treat...And is suddenly shocked by all the awaiting spiders.
<Savage> "Oh wow~" Savage watches in amazement.  Wotter politely hides himself behind Savage's leg oh god that looks painful to the little water-type
<CounterBeard> The fish falls back to the water and just sort of floats, belly up...The spiders web it up and drag it topweb for feastings.
<Savage> "I see, I see!" Savage grins a little, taking a spot at the edge of the web.  "Hmm... they seem pretty happy here~"
<CounterBeard> "Hmm, so they do. Does Friend Savage no longer wish for joltik?"
<Savage> "T-that's not it at all!" Savage flails a little.  "They're so cute!  But, if none of them need me, I don't wanna force 'em to come along..."
<CounterBeard> "Ah, I see. Afraid to take away from family and friend yes?"
<Savage> "Mmhmm~" Savage nods.  "That'd just be cruel, I think."
<CounterBeard> "But you can show them the world! Like you said, if you had not left yoru forest you would not met these two, no? You would not have met the joltik! You can show them new life!"
<Savage> "Well, yeah..." he rubs the back of his head in a bit of embarassment.  "I still don't wanna -force- them into that, but..." he has started looking around.  "Maybe there's ones that want to..."
<CounterBeard> "Hmm. Could not hurt to ask? I shall go find one for good breeding stock!"
<Savage> "Well, alright!" Savage nods, and starts heading around the web.  He's not really looking for one that's busy enjoying the buffet.  One that would want to travel with him... would be like him - outside of all of that mess.
<CounterBeard> There are several joltik just hanging out in webs, either watching you or taking a nap. There is one hanging directly above.
<Savage> Savage starts greeting them as he goes; he's quiet about it, so as not to wake up the snoozing ones.  He must look a little out of place, being so huge compared to them.
<CounterBeard> Most of them scatter or go deeper into their trees a few stare or wave back.
<Savage> Savage is amused a little by them, but none of them seem to have quite clicked.  It's like he's sizing them up, maybe - looking for one that -really- responds to him with the same enthusiasm he's feeling for these oh god that one just balled up in fright hnnnngh
<CounterBeard> The one from earlier is following you swinging from tree to tree, sorta lik eyou did earlier
<Savage> It takes Savage a bit to notice it, then he seems to clue in - and turns wherever he is, looking up to it, and--oh god did it just--oh man now he's pumped.  "You!  I like you!" he's got the widest grin on his face.
<CounterBeard> "Jol?" It points at itself.
<Savage> "Yeah, you!" Savage grins wide, then extends his hand, palm up and open, towards it; with the widest grin on his face.  "Wanna head out of this place and see the world?  It'll be fun!"
<CounterBeard> It fires off a strand of silk to your hand and crawls over.
<CounterBeard> "Jol?"
<Savage> Oh hey that kinda tickles.  He greets it with a smile, plopping down to hold it up closer to his face a bit.  "Hiya!  Oh, right, introductions!  I'm Savage, and this is Gabbery--he's not food!--and that's Wotter and this is Cuddles~" it's a lot of names in a short time.
<CounterBeard> @=@ "Joltik?" it waves to everyone making a little web nest in your hand.
<Savage> "Heheh... hmm, I can't quite have you tying up my hand like that!" he laughs a little, looking over himself.  "But... you know, my pockets have room and you could hide in 'em when you need to!"
<CounterBeard> "Joltik! It scurries up your arm and finds a nice pocket it can hang out it. It peeks out looking around.
<Savage> For the ease of access, it's totally a pocket on his shirt... thing.  God what the hell even is that thing it's almost more like a scarf or something but okay.  "Whaddya think?  Cozy enough?"
<CounterBeard> "Joltiktik~" After a few moments you hear little electricsounding snores.
<Savage> "Hahaha... well, that makes five of us!" Savage nods, standing tall and making sure his companions are comfortable.  "You all be nice to each other, okay~?"
<CounterBeard> They all make assenting noises.
<Savage> "Good, good!" Savage grins.  "Now... let's find Henry and head back, right~?" he starts looking around to see if he can find Henry amidst what is essentially their huge nest.
<CounterBeard> You eventually find Henry standing off against a Galvantula. He looks a little electrofied.
<Savage> "Hmm~?" Savage hurries over towards him.  Has he gone and picked a fight with--woah that's a big spider.  "Need a hand~?"
<CounterBeard> "Is-is fine! Mother Spider just angry I catch on of her baby. We should leave soon. Do not want to harm her, no protection for little spiders if we do."
<Savage> "Well, you kinda deserve it~" Savage teases a bit - but all the same he's stepping back.  "Well, we'd better get moving quick then!"
<CounterBeard> "Oh look giant beached wailmer! Is so tasty and helpless!" Henry yells and points behind the Mama Spider before running like a cobusken with its head cut off. Savages little spiderfriend sticks its head out to look for this tastywailmer.
<Savage> 1d20-4 you know what
<DiceMaid-9001> Savage, you know what: 0 [1d20=4]
<Savage> "Wh... that does sound good!  ...Where is it?"
<Savage> Savage has fallen for the distraction as well.
<CounterBeard> (ahahah.)
<CounterBeard> Henry grabs Savages arm as he runs back "Friend Savage I buy you lunch if you beat me back to town, much tastier than wailmer blubber! I promise, just run!"
<Savage> "Oh boy, sounds good to me!" Savage grins and gets running, carrying his team with him - except for Senthat who is very used to this kind of thing and looks practically unperturbed.
<CounterBeard> (Sent had has reached a state of...Sen.)
<Savage> (He is, until evolution, a Zentret)
<KujiUn> (Normal/Psychic? Nice.)
<CounterBeard> Eventually Savage makes it back to town much before Henry. And is treated to delicious foods and homemade honey icecream.
<Savage> "ohgodthisissodeliciousitssosweeeeeeet~"
* Savage seems to be having a good time partaking in Henry's generosity, and so do his mons.  Wotter is totally all 'oh god what is this disgusting stuff' at the icecream though
<CounterBeard> Henry laughs as you all enjoy the icecream 'Good good. But why does little otter no like?"
<Savage> "Mmm?  She doesn't seem to like sweet stuff... she didn't like the pie a couple days ago much either~" he pats Wotter affectionately as he says it.
<CounterBeard> "Oooh. I see. What would little Friend Wotter like?"
<Savage> "Um, hm..." he tilts his head and looks at him a little, as if sizing him up.  "He probably wants something a little less childish.  Something strong, I think?"
<CounterBeard> "Hmm, I have a bit of dried peppers? Very Spicy?"
<Savage> Wotter seems to like the idea and starts pestering Henry for them.
<CounterBeard> He chuckles offering the SPICY PEPPERS to the otter. "Is fiesty little thing!"
<Savage> Wotter takes them and tries one out.  And then proceeds to gurgle it in water in its mouth for a few moments before swallowing it down.  And it looks happy about it.
<Savage> "Well, I guess that answers that question!  ...But I'll take more of the ice cream~"
<CounterBeard> He starts to laugh again as he serves ALL OF THE ICECREAM
