Aside 37.2: Yulia's Talk Continued.

Nov 02 00:26:33 <~zoofman>	okay, to recap some
Nov 02 00:27:14 <~zoofman>	The conversation was here when we left off :
Nov 02 00:27:15 <~zoofman>	[23:27:41] <Yulia> "I suppose, even years after our times at the Academy, that....well, that's what bothers me still."
Nov 02 00:27:15 <~zoofman>	[23:27:54] <Yulia> "Perhaps this is why I wanted to visit Beatrice to begin with, I suppose."
Nov 02 00:27:15 <~zoofman>	[23:34:30] <zoofarrator> Tyr hrrrms, Yulia. "I can say the symbolism was anythin but that.  The balance is a very real thing.  It is simply unfortionate that the one you met was none other than the man who struck one of our kin low."
Nov 02 00:27:15 <~zoofman>	[23:35:37] <Yulia> "...so what now?"
Nov 02 00:27:15 <~zoofman>	[23:35:51] <zoofarrator> "I am unsure if I can give you the closure you desire.  Nor do I think it is I who could bestow it.  That may reside well with your friends, loved ones...Perhaps even Valdis may be more inciteful in such matters than myself."
Nov 02 00:28:08 <Yulia>	"Shame that that opportunity just left us."
Nov 02 00:28:53 »»	You are now known as Super_Kyurem_Guru
Nov 02 00:28:58 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"And why would that beeee?"
Nov 02 00:29:39 <Yulia>	"Literally. She just left."
Nov 02 00:30:37 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Only for the moment - she will return."
Nov 02 00:31:01 »»	Yulia sighs, clearly frustrated with herself.
Nov 02 00:31:05 <Yulia>	"It's funny."
Nov 02 00:31:21 <Yulia>	"Resolved to come here at non-neglibible personal expense."
Nov 02 00:31:35 <Yulia>	"Ready to the extent of perhaps fighting Valdis for an audience with you."
Nov 02 00:31:43 <Yulia>	"And yet I don't know what I want."
Nov 02 00:31:56 <Yulia>	"The source of the entire problem. I don't know what I wanted out of this."
Nov 02 00:33:27 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Now, now, there's no need to be a party pooper.  Did you not seek closure? You said it yourself, even."
Nov 02 00:33:48 <Yulia>	"Something you said you probably couldn't give."
Nov 02 00:37:16 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"It does not mean you cannot find it herrrrre.  You must first ask yourself what you seek to resolllve."
Nov 02 00:37:51 »»	Yulia pulls the pin out of her hat, with its distinctive Articuno feather still attached. It's the Mark of Balance she received from the false Kyurem, no longer frozen over in eternal ice. She hefts in pin in her grasp, seemingly testing its weight.
Nov 02 00:38:29 <Yulia>	"What I had with him was a purpose, I suppose. The feeling that I was needed."
Nov 02 00:38:56 <Yulia>	"Seemingly all of my other friends, when I had contacted them, found new ones after our time in the Academy."
Nov 02 00:39:05 <Yulia>	"Seemingly, I never grew out of it."
Nov 02 00:43:50 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Hrrrm.  Stuck in the glory days of school...like the town soccer star who never went to collleeege.  Maybe you just to move away from it alllll."
Nov 02 00:44:10 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"But what do I know of such matters, I am a several ton lizarrrd who watches romcoms all day."
Nov 02 00:44:42 <Yulia>	"Well, I did move from it all with Willow."
Nov 02 00:44:50 <Yulia>	"...what is your interest in him, anyway?"
Nov 02 00:50:55 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Valdis enters, accompanied by her Haxorus and Garchomp buddies.  "...Him?" She tilts her head like a puppy would when confused.
Nov 02 00:53:01 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Oh, good.  Just in time.  We were discussing your boyfriennnnd," teases Super Kyurem Guru.  Valdis frowns, still confused.
Nov 02 00:53:18 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"It was simply to catch youuuuuur attention.  It appears to have worked, did it noooot?"
Nov 02 00:54:17 <Yulia>	"I suppose."
Nov 02 00:55:29 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Yuuuuuuuliaaaa."
Nov 02 00:56:37 <Yulia>	"....."
Nov 02 00:56:40 <Yulia>	"Yes?"
Nov 02 00:57:22 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"I cannot grant you the closure or purpose you seek, as my role is an extremely passive one.  Unlike the false idol who courted you, I cannot act beyond my task."
Nov 02 00:57:57 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"But let it be known that your bloodline's tie to our species is not forgotten.  Especially after delivering the pizza."
Nov 02 00:58:36 <Yulia>	"....thank you."
Nov 02 01:00:56 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Purpose comes in both intrinsic and extrinsic forms.   Travel, live, love, explore.  One day you will find something which calls to you.  Other than meeee."
Nov 02 01:01:11 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Valllllldis." "...Yes, Master Tyr?"
Nov 02 01:01:14 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"That goes for you as wellllll."
Nov 02 01:02:21 <Yulia>	"I'll see what I can find. My usual methods are simply useless here."
Nov 02 01:02:39 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	The armored blonde with a bow across her back doesn't really seem to understand, but nods anyway.
Nov 02 01:03:05 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"You should try clinicaaaal psychology.  The people in this land have even more issues than you twooooo."
Nov 02 01:03:33 <Yulia>	"Psychology is already an academic interest of mine."
Nov 02 01:03:50 <Yulia>	"Unfortunately, I connect more with Pokemon than with other people, so my methods are largely confined to them."
Nov 02 01:05:24 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Valdis nods. "...I as well."
Nov 02 01:05:47 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Tyr hrrrms. "At least you don't have space aspergeeeers."
Nov 02 01:06:32 <Yulia>	".....-space- Aspergers."
Nov 02 01:06:46 <Yulia>	"My curiosity compels me to ask for clarification. My sanity begs the opposite."
Nov 02 01:08:13 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Gooooood."
Nov 02 01:08:17 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	He gives no further explanation.
Nov 02 01:08:37 <Yulia>	"...."
Nov 02 01:08:56 <Yulia>	"In any case. I am unsure what advice Valdis has to offer."
Nov 02 01:11:32 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	She looks just as confused herself, not having heard the previous bits of the conversation!
Nov 02 01:11:43 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Vallllldiiiiis."  "Yes, Master Tyr?"
Nov 02 01:12:10 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Tell her about youuuuur projeeeeeect." "Oh..."
Nov 02 01:13:43 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Valdis sits at the circular table, across from Yulia, and fidgets a bit. "...Hi."  Yulia, being socially awkward herself, can tell this girl is as well!  Valdis fidgets and toys with her hands a lot, and doesn't keep eye contact well.
Nov 02 01:15:30 <Yulia>	"Greetings."
Nov 02 01:15:52 »»	Yulia adjusts her hat awkwardly as if trying to break the silence somehow.
Nov 02 01:18:17 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"I, um.  Grew up here.  Away from people... never met another person, until I was sixteen."
Nov 02 01:19:18 <Yulia>	"....sounds oddly familiar."
Nov 02 01:19:37 <Yulia>	"Didn't get to leave the Royal Library until I was sixteen, myself. Took a lot of convincing my parents."
Nov 02 01:19:48 <Yulia>	"Wanted me to study at home. No time for anything else."
Nov 02 01:20:05 <Yulia>	"Only could really talk to Pokemon with what little spare time I had."
Nov 02 01:20:50 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"...Not...exactly the same."  She frowns at the mention of 'parents.'
Nov 02 01:21:15 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"It's dificult."
Nov 02 01:22:31 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"I want to help children in dificult spots.  But...don't know how."
Nov 02 01:22:46 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Tyr: "Like an amptutee trying to use chopstiiiicks."
Nov 02 01:25:11 <Yulia>	"As I understand it, you are already a visible character in this region as it is. Being a good role model might be a good start."
Nov 02 01:25:17 <Yulia>	"But I suspect you want to try something more direct."
Nov 02 01:28:30 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	She gives a meek nod.  "You two are twoooo terribly mishaped peas in a pooood.  You may learn much about yourselves from helping one anotheeeeer."
Nov 02 01:30:45 <Yulia>	"Then we start small."
Nov 02 01:30:52 <Yulia>	"Can't help all children in all difficult spots."
Nov 02 01:31:04 <Yulia>	"Start with a particular difficult spot you can make a difference in."
Nov 02 01:33:42 <Yulia>	"Or one you feel strongly about."
Nov 02 01:34:14 <Yulia>	"Example being....well, I originally got into psychology because I never could understand others well."
Nov 02 01:34:33 <Yulia>	"Tried a different tack. Ran into a pet issue with difficulties resulting in human-Pokemon communication."
Nov 02 01:34:44 <Yulia>	"Large barrier to cooperation that really doesn't need to be there."
Nov 02 01:36:46 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Valdis thinks on what you say, looking down.  "I...think I know where to start, maybe.  What don't you understand?  You understood my problem, no..?"
Nov 02 01:37:01 <Yulia>	"Pardon?"
Nov 02 01:38:05 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Well...you already...helped?"
Nov 02 01:38:35 <Yulia>	"....well. It's a start. Something I may as wlel do while I am still here."
Nov 02 01:38:40 <Yulia>	"Where will you begin?"
Nov 02 01:41:14 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"There's a...thing that brings children with no families to Visiwa, and turns them into monsters." She looks to Tyr for confirmation on that. "Yeeeeees. The Dandyman."
Nov 02 01:41:57 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"I could...seperate them? Maybe?"
Nov 02 01:42:40 <Yulia>	"Tell me more about this Dandyman."
Nov 02 01:46:37 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"He, um."
Nov 02 01:46:51 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Eats people, and Pokemon."
Nov 02 01:46:57 <Yulia>	"....someone that needs to be stopped by force, then."
Nov 02 01:47:11 <Yulia>	"Something I may be able to help with."
Nov 02 01:48:03 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Tyr elaborates. "He is an Usurrrper.  He has been attributed to devouring every Lake Guardian in Eastern Europe, and devoured the Mespirit of our Region.  Funny enough, she had the power to find lost childreeeen."
Nov 02 01:49:01 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"There's more to it than that, but he's just all around a jeeeeeerk."
Nov 02 01:50:48 <Yulia>	"Notable prerequisite: being able to track him down first."
Nov 02 01:50:57 <Yulia>	"Should be able to help with that."
Nov 02 01:51:11 <Yulia>	"Psychologist and detective by trade."
Nov 02 01:53:39 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Valdis bites her nails, thinking. "Roland could tell you more..." she mutters.
Nov 02 01:55:26 <Yulia>	"....I'll see him when I'm able, then."
Nov 02 01:59:01 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"We -could- go meet him.  It's...not very far, Darkfeather City."
Nov 02 02:00:35 <Yulia>	"Is it? Should be worth doing when you're ready, then."
Nov 02 02:07:08 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Valdis hops up and saunters out intothe courtyard again, and...well, yells.  It's a rather primal sound, more like a roar.  It echoes for a bit, and a minute or two later a Salamence lands beside her.  It nuzzles her as Valdis looks over to you, waiting.
Nov 02 02:10:20 <Yulia>	"....very well. Tyr, I assume you will handle the leftovers," Yulia says as she packs up and returns the rest of her Pokemon.
Nov 02 02:10:51 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"Yeeeeeees, they shall cure the rumbly in my tumbly."
Nov 02 02:11:01 <Yulia>	Upon some reflection, though, she detaches the old Kyurem pin from the Articuno feather, and places the feather back in her cap with her old family crest pin, and tosses the Kyurem pin over to Tyr.
Nov 02 02:14:40 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	He pinches the little thing delicately, and inspects it.  "innnnnnteresting.  Do you feel you no longer need it, or desire to be worthy of it?"
Nov 02 02:15:50 »»	Lenannynore is now known as Aori_Radidjiu
Nov 02 02:16:25 »»	King_Zephyr is now known as Kain
Nov 02 02:16:30 <Yulia>	"The former. Maybe you can figure something out from it, but...I no longer need it."
Nov 02 02:19:56 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	He flips it over, and squints at it.  "Not to mention it's a terrible knock offffff of the real thing.  Who could blame youuuu?"
Nov 02 02:20:37 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	"May you ever strive to seek balance in all things, Yullllliaaaaaa.  And Valllldiiiiis.  When you come back...bring pizza rollllls."
Nov 02 02:22:18 <Yulia>	"I will."
Nov 02 02:22:23 <Yulia>	"Truth and ideals in accord."
Nov 02 02:22:33 »»	Yulia hops on the Salamence.
Nov 02 02:24:56 <~Super_Kyurem_Guru>	Valdis whispers to the dragon.  It launches into the air, and soars across the mountain range!  To Be Continued!
