Thrice:
wait
Thrice:
why are there two connough valley maps
Thrice:
this

Ivan:
Did something relevant happen to you while I was away

Nick:
Nothing plot-wise

Nick:
We had a rival battle vs Harriet's team

Nick:
We lost, extremely hard

Nick:
Well, we WON, extremely hard

Nick:
6v3.

Nick:
I was given no end of shit for this

Nick:
I just changed tokens bc I like doing that after a long break
Thrice:
Whatever it doesn't matter we won't be here long anyway

Nick:
hopefully not no

Nick:
But anyway the gaiden wrapped up just as we were boarding the train

Nick:
Ivan had time to do any relevant shopping and shit

Nick:
3 days passed since the last session so everything's healed up
Thrice:
Yeah all are heals

Nick:
If you feel like catching up on it, it's in Other Stuff

Nick:
But it is not required reading
Warlord:
still another 2 days on my scyther or something IIRC.

Nick:
Iii

Nick:
Think it should be fine.
Warlord:
I mean for the professor to be done anal probing it
Tokens dropped onto map 'Quarry Interior' by player Emergency (Player)

Nick:
yeah

Nick:
We caught it on the first day of travel back

Nick:
So you should be good
Warlord:
it was sent to professor after the "boss battle"
Tokens dropped onto map 'Quarry Interior' by player Emergency (Player)

Nick:
oh.

Nick:
Eh, just say you sent it when you caught it

Nick:
doesn't affect anything
Warlord:
it was used
Tokens dropped onto map 'Quarry Interior' by player Emergency (Player)

Nick:
well shit
Tokens dropped onto map 'Quarry Interior' by player Emergency (Player)

Nick:
When we get to Boole, which we hopefully will do this session, you should be fine to pick it up.

Nick:
that's a better resolution then
Thrice:
You should hopefully get to Boole
Thrice:
Is everyone here?

Nick:
yo

Eliza:
yes
Warlord:
ooga booga
Warlord: (( did thrice go back on his original plan of carry 6 use 4 per scene ))
Thrice:
I'm going with that for now
Thrice:
Training Experience is also changed but it shouldn't be relevant this session

Nick:
"I can't believe it - we actually get to take the train instead of having to walk a thousand miles a day!"
Nick: (( I already informed him on that ))

Ivan:
"I know, right? I thought that was only reserved for the rich, powerful, and the woman beating rangers!"

Nick:
"First stop Boole, second stop - well, okay, first stop whatever that dinky lil' bandit town was called, second stop Boole, third... eh, we can figure that out when we get there."

Eliza:
"Man I'm fucking exahusted. Like seriously, there was too much that happened in magicland."

Nick:
"S'all behind us now."

Nick:
"I hope."
Thrice:
Sanya blinks uncomfortably.

Eliza:
Eliza rolls her eyes, and slumps in her seat. Pretty much taking an entire seat by herself. How unladylike.

Ivan:
"Just so long as somebody doesn't follow you to destroy the next town we go to I'm good."
Thrice:
You board the train toward Boole University, with new badges, Pokemon, and girlfriends in tow, but you've gotta switch trains when you get to Sanni Village - or Sanni City, as it is now. It's been restored to its former glory over the past week, somehow.

Nick:
impressive

Ivan:
Ivan checks if the burned down house has been restored to its former glory.

Nick:
"Sanni, that's it. Huh."  'Kinda like your name, yeah? I bet you get that a lot.'

Eliza:
Eliza nearly nods off and misses the transfer, and scrambles awake to see the rebuilt town. "Who was in charge of doing all of this. I could use them to build something for me."
Thrice:
More replaced than anything. It's gonna be about half an hour till you're ready to go, so the engineer advises you to have a look around.

Nick:
"They've done some work to this place, haven't they?"

Trayli:
"Go on, better catch some grub while you can! Least that way if we go off the rails over the sea, yeh won't die hungry!"
Eliza: (( I FUCKING KNEW IT AGI ))

Nick:
Nick makes it a priority to hit the PC - Jecht and Irwin aren't putting up much of a fight anytime soon
Eliza: (( I TOLD YOU ))
Nick: (( She's just the conductor, man ))
Nick: (( there's no guarantee ))

Tokens dropped onto map 'Connough Valley' by player Agi (Player)

Trayli:
the map's visible, spawn at the rightmost portion near the stairs

Trayli:
doesn't really matter tho

Eliza:
"I should probably heal up some of my Pokemon too. Man... What could be possibly left to see? Some dead bodies?"

Nick:
God damn this place got hyuuf

Nick:
hyuuj
Ivan: (( were the bandits hanged from that noose ))

Trayli:
Inside the pokemon center, Nick meets a familiar face. And...another. All too many of them. One waves him down

Nick:
fkn probably

Sabina:
"Oh, yo! Haven't seen you in a while! What're the chances? My master would say this was fate!"

Sabina:
but before hje can respond, someone ELSE interjects

Nick:
Aw shit it's the Committee of Folded Arms

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"Yo-ho! I remember you! What're you here for? You're not here for me, are you? I'm clean, I swear! Ahahaha!"

Ivan:
Ivan is curious if everything in the region is crazy or his group was just unlucky. "So how's your gym challege been going? You run into any of those cutthroat cultists on the way to here? Maybe you get to see those bandits that were here earlier?"

Nick:
"...What, you're still hanging around here?" Nick is on guard. "Isn't that a bit of a bad idea?"

Nick:
He waves to Rayner's group, trying to eye them up for how much stronger they could've got

Nick:
esp Rayner himself

Eliza:
Eliza adjusts her hat trying to vaguely remember who these chumps are. Then it hits her that she murdered one of their Pokemon by accident. She's completely unsure who the other lady is though. "Been awhile indeed."
Nick: (( Perception? Intuition? Undeterminable? ))

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"Aw, well... Thanks for me helping me out, but... You see, I got caught anyway! Ehehe!"

Nick:
And this is why she's by the noose.

Ex(?)-Banditress:
But it wasn't by them stinkin' Rangers, at least! The guy was pretty nice about. Gave me community service."

Nick:
"They seem to be big on that 'round here."

Rayner:
Rayner looks exactly as confident as always. You can see two Badges pinned to his collar; one that you recognize as Marley's, and a faint, metallic purple one you can't place. "It's going great, I'd say!"

Rayner:
"As for the bandits, well, she was one of 'em!"

Nick:
Nick's eyebrows furrow

Rayner:
"My master caught her outside the village, it seems. I'd heard he was helping out with restoration around here, so I figured I'd come say hi!"

Sabina:
"It works out, too! Have you been to Connough? The solstice is close, it ought to be super pretty there now."

Sabina:
"Plus, there's the celebration and all. I wouldn't miss it for the world!"

Ivan:
"So I get community service for defending myself from a guy's Mega Beedrill, and you get community service for taking part in that hostile takeover? Oh, well, that sure sounds fair." He had obviously left shit out to make himself look better, but nobody here knew that!

Nick:
"Just came from it, actually. Definitely recommend it."

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"Hey, I helped build the city! That's pretty big-time service, I'd say!"

Eliza:
"It does look pretty good I'd say."

Nick:
"But we snatched up Ailbhe's badge, a good share of Deltas, and spent enough time with the locals - way more than enough time to move on."

Sabina:
"Oooh, how's Ailbhe doing? Have her, uh...tastes changed any?"

Ivan:
Ivan made a point of remembering where the burned down building was and pointed to what had replaced it. "Yeah well, did you help with that one?"

Nick:
"Define 'tastes.' "
Ivan: (( purple hair guy did a favor burning down that building. ))

Nick:
"She had us go do bandit clean-up on account of spilling some of her wine, so."
Ivan: (( otherwise a random person helping in the recovery would die on that random bed eliza raped ))
Nick: (( The clean up crew was probably confused as shit when they found that. ))
Eliza: (( i wonder if they noticed anything there ))
Nick: (( Who puts needles in a bed? ))

Eliza:
"Nothing like some good bandit slaying." Eliza cheerfully notes.

Sabina:
"Uh, you know...Actually, maybe you don't?"

Nick:
"Hey, hey, there was no slaying."

Sabina:
"Heck, that might be for the better. She always creeped me out with that stuff."

Nick:
"Ivan had me worried about that for a bit, but..." Nick shrugs. "It worked out, I guess."

Ignatius:
Iggy and Sanya remain equally silent. Sanya because like...yeah. Iggy just sort of hides in the corner, occasionally peeking out when something interesting is said.

Nick:
Nick points his thumb over at Ivan, addressing the Banditress. "He's the reason I let you get away. I think he took Ailbhe totally seriously about the 'bandit slaying' thing."

Nick:
"Should've seen him at the gym challenge!"

Eliza:
Eliza pipes in, "Hey, Rayner do you have a girlfriend yet?"

Nick:
"I tell ya, you don't want to see this guy when he's cornered."

Ivan:
"Hey now, Ailbhe said it was preferable if we killed them! Who are we to question the great judgement of such a gym leader?!" The sarcasm was dripping off his lips.

Nick:
"She was kidding. Probably." He's pretty unsure about this. "Apparently she's a bit of a softie, anyway, if that kid's to be believed..."

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"Whoa, whoa! Don't go getting worked up right here, no bandit slaying, none at all!"

Rayner:
"Huh? Me? Hahaha! Nope, I can't say that I do. Why?"

Nick:
"You're fine, girl!"

Eliza:
"Looks like your buddy Nixon finally has something that you don't."

Nick:
"...So, any idea what happened to the rest of them?"

Ivan:
Ivan chuckled. "You're in the clear... Just uh, don't go to Connough Valley. Ever."

Nick:
Nick rolls his eyes and smiles at Eliza. "Hey, now..."

Nick:
"Don't go bragging for me."

Ivan:
Ivan was weirded out at this conversation Eliza was having with Rayner. He couldn't decide whether it was weirder Eliza had asked the question to someone so much younger or if Nick had acquired pussy.

Nick:
Weapon get

Rayner:
"Oh, really? Hah, well, that's a shame!"

Eliza:
"I thought it'd be something you'd be telling if you're listing your accomplishments."

Rayner:
"But I can't say I'm too mad, losing in that category."

Rayner:
"Still, congratulations! Who's the lucky girl? Is it the blondie over there?"

Nick:
"Nah. Different blondie."

Nick:
"Her name's Ciara, she's headed to Callantown now. Too bad we had to part ways."

Nick:
"I see you're pushing at a different lead, though - that's Marley's badge you've got there, yeah? What's the other one?"

Sabina:
"That's Dechtire's! First, Rayner's town, then mine. Next is...Rayfad, right, Iggy?"

Ignatius:
"Ah...yeah. After that...who knows?"

Nick:
Nick's tempted to push for another Rival battle, but... well, his core team was either out of commission or with the professor.

Eliza:
"My my, wouldn't it be nice to see the other side of the Region."

Nick:
He scratches the back of his neck. "Well, I'd love to get that rematch, but I'm training the reserves right now..."

Rayner:
"Oh, anyway! You oughta meet my master, since you're here. I think you'll like him."

Nick:
pls don't be Gyffes pls don't be Gyffes

Eliza:
pls be gyffes

Ignatius:
Iggy actually responds to Elly, "Reyfad is...very nice. It's wonderful. You should go some day..."
Nick: (( Thrice has LEFT the Maptools ))

Eliza:
"Anything interesting to note there? I might jot it down on my bucket list. I've heard many things but if you're from there. Might as well ask about it."

Ignatius:
brb real quick indeed

Nick:
"Yeah? What's he like?"
Warlord is disconnected.
Warlord has connected.

Nick:
"Don't have a whole lot of time, it's just a layover on the way back to Boole..."

Ivan:
"Yeah, and we were supposed to pick up some McDonalds while we were here. Does your master make good cheeseburgers?"

Ivan:
"I mean, McDonalds Cheeseburgers aren't -good-, per say. Let me rephrase. Does he make cheeseburgers?"

Nick:
inb4 he makes the best cheeseburgers

Nick:
"...well, actually, what's the rush? How often does the train come by, now that it's up and running?"

Ignatius:
"The cave...and the dig site. Most challengers and tourists go there. But the canyons are pretty, too."

Eliza:
"Excellent."

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"I think it's every couple of hours! A few times a day, at least."

Rayner:
"Haha...my master? He's a totally unreliable goofball most of the time. But when he lets loose, it's something else."

Ivan:
"So can anybody ride the train if they're not on the gym challenge? Or is it just reserved for rangers and people?" Ivan assumed his master was some kind of martial artist, not sure why else he'd refer to him that way. "What style is he a master of?" Obviously there was no alternative to this since he wasn't a master of cheeseburgers.

Nick:
"Nah, man, it's just - if you're taking the gym challenge, you gotta walk."

Nick:
"The train won't take you anywhere you haven't already been."

Nick:
"Why do you think I'm training up Jecht? My feet need a rest sometimes."

Rayner:
"What style? ...uh...hmm..."

Rayner:
"Don't think bad of him - or me, I studied under him! but I'd say deception."

Eliza:
"Deception?"

Rayner:
"You never know what he's thinking, and half the time you don't know what he's doing."

Rayner:
"Sometimes I doubt if he does, but hey! It works out for him."

Nick:
"Maybe you should work on your elephant. I bet it could carry you when it evolves. Probably."

Rayner:
"And, yeah. Taking the League Challenge gives you a few perks, but it strips some way, too."

Sabina:
"It's nostalgiac for me! My master and I used to travel around Iornia all the time."

Sabina:
"But I'd usually get to ride on her big ol' dinos..."

Ivan:
"Wait, so, is he like good at faking you out in a fight, or is he just a swindler?" Ivan would have far more to learn from him if he were in fact a conman.

Nick:
"Similar skills, really."

Nick:
"Different application."

Rayner:
"Both! He's the strongest trainer I've ever met... In every way."

Rayner:
"Actually, scratch that - Iggy's master could pound his face in in a straight fight."

Eliza:
"Yikes, maybe I should find a master. Starting to feel jealous with everyone and their role models."

Sabina:
"Role model? Have you MET my master? My hair's not naturally white, you know! She drove me nuts! But I guess it WAS sort of fun."

Eliza:
"You all have masters? What are the chances." She turns to Ivan, "What about you big guy? Where's your master?"

Nick:
his master is McDonalds

Eliza:
Master McDs

Nick:
also tbf I'm actually coming around on McDonalds cheeseburgers

Nick:
Anything above a single that is

Nick:
and it's gotta be on a sesame seed bun otherwise fuck off

Ivan:
Ivan looks visibly uncomfortable about the subject. "Well there was a guy I sort of looked up to and all but he's uh...He's not exactly available to give guidance anymore. Heh. He's rotting away in the slammer."

Nick:
"Hoo. Tough break."

Eliza:
"Well shit."

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"Oh, and you think I'm bad, do you?"

Nick:
"What'd he do?"

Rayner:
he turned into a really buff ceramic pot and tried to turn everyone into money

Nick:
canon
Ivan: (( Tuco's dead tho ))
Nick: (( Depends on the canon. ))
Nick: (( No guarantee this is in the Gark Prime universe ))
Nick: (( Could be the fkn Tirkfinder universe for all we know ))
Nick: (( Thrice, immediately: This is not the Tirkfinder universe. ))
Nick: (( errr ))
Nick: (( *TirkPTA ))

Ivan:
Ivan was okay telling them that much but wasn't happy to share that many more details. He just deflected it back onto the bandit. "Yeah, well, at least I wasn't involved like you were!" 8 this is another lie OFC.

Sabina:
Sabina raises an eyebrow, and Rayner chuckles. "Oh yeah? Well, if you say so, big guy. Don't worry, we've all committed our own sins!"

Eliza:
Intution: ( 14 )  Oho?

Eliza:
"Yeah, I almost killed someone in this town before!"

Nick:
"No you didn't."

Eliza:
"You don't know that."

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"Sheesh, and you guys give me shit for squatting in some abandoned city."

Nick:
"I want to believe tat."

Nick:
*that

Ivan:
Ivan is happy to take the chance to change the topic. "She set up a booby trap that would've killed anybody that came in that house if they hadn't burned it down. We had our backs against the wall, what can I say?"

Nick:
"No she didn't. What are you talking about? You were in that house for like, a minute before the purple-hair guy sprung the fire on you!"

Ivan:
"That's part of why we took so long to fuckin' get out."

Eliza:
"It was a good trap though."

Eliza:
"Be quick, efficient, kill everyone you see?"

Nick:
"The last thing you need to do is start talking like Ailbhe."

Ignatius:
Iggy stares at Eliza for a moment, sweeping the hair out of his eyes, "What...?"

Eliza:
"Learned it from a famous gunman, it's not my quote."

Rayner:
"It's just a joke, pal! I mean, come on, do you really buy that?"
Ivan: (( is iggy a child or just antisocial ))

Nick:
"Dude, she already scares me. Have you spent any time around her?"

Eliza:
Eliza shrugs, "I was never a good story teller. Anyway, are we seeing someone's master or getting some food, or?"

Rayner:
Well he is the youngest-looking one out of the three, but you'd guess him to be around 17

Rayner:
So around nick's age

Rayner:
so yea a widdle baby
Eliza: (( okay I'm done streaming I can focus in on the game now ))

Nick:
"Yeah, if the train keeps coming by like that..." Nick writes out a note for Sanya. 'How do you feel about this town? We good to stick around for a bit?"

Nick:
'

Ivan:
Ivan shrugs. "Sure, let's go see the master swindler. I'm curious." He also still wants to make sure the fucking deathtrap bed is actually gone.

Sanya:
Sanya has not at all been paying attention, since there hasn't been any point. Instead she's been walking around the square, taking the sights. She writes back, 'Sanni is fine.'

Nick:
59 Dubs and we spot it in a dumpster on the way

Eliza:
Eliza makes her way down the steps, "I'd like to drop my Pokemon off at the Center before we venture deeper into the city."

Eliza:
"If that's fine with everyone."

Sanya:
you're uh

Sanya:
at the center

Eliza:
I thought we were stopped before we got there, oops

Ex(?)-Banditress:
"Uh, well, I'll be staying here, I think...yep...staying here. I mean, the guy was nice, but something about him just...Ech, gives me the heebie-jeebies. Anyway, see ya! I'll just wait here for you guys, I guess, my little escorts!"

Eliza:
Eliza clearly already dropped off her balls and rejoins the group, "Well I'm ready then."

Nick:
I'll quickly drop by and let Trayli know not to expect our group on the next train out

Sabina:
Trayli shrugs and says it's your loss kiddo, hope the next engineer knows how to drive

Sabina:
50/50 shot

Nick:
I like those odds

Nick:
2 1 is good

Nick:
fuck

Eliza:
you'd lose

Eliza:
you did lose

Nick:
I stand by my decision.

Sabina:
"Well, all right..." Sabina tells the nurse to keep an eye on the Banditress, "We won't be long, Alte. Get to know that Pokemon I gave you!"
Ivan: (( clearly having a different train conductor will be relevant to plot somehow. ))

Nick:
I fkn knew it
Ivan: (( it will be thrice's excuse to spawn that villain from Baccano he loves so much. ))
Nick: (( he never needs an excuse. ))

You Get One Guess:
You follow the trio to a part of the city that's still undergoing reconstruction. A couple of Rangers are trying to rebuild, but they keep getting shone up by some other dude. He pulls up wooden slats to form the sides of buildings, drags in logs from a pile, splits them, and then rearranges them to form steps, porches, and roofs. He does all this while barely moving a muscle - just by pulling tiny threads of twine, which he manipulates around whatever he wants to move. The Rangers have sort of given up on questioning it; they accepted this shit ages ago, it seems. It's probably just some sort of trick, but it does look impressive

Nick:
>shone

Nick:
"Gonna guess he's not one of the guys wearing hard hats."

Eliza:
ayyyy

You Get One Guess:
Do you remember this kid's signature move agi

You Get One Guess:
shone is correct

Eliza:
my favorite Iornian NPC

You Get One Guess:
shadow clare motherfucker

Nick:
I specifically asked for it to not be Gyffes.

Eliza:
u guessed wrong

Eliza:
he's a dick for stealing Rivi's sugar though

Nick:
tl;dr, Warlord

Nick:
fuck this guy

You Get One Guess:
dude he bought you pizz

You Get One Guess:
okay

Eliza:
dont listen to him Warlord, he's so cool

You Get One Guess:
he STOLE you pizza

You Get One Guess:
same diff

Eliza:
he gave rivi flowers

Eliza:
you can't eat flowers

Ivan:
"Well I guess he can't be that bad of a guy if he's helping them with this." He shrugs. "So uh, you wanna tell me how he's doing that, Ray?" With how nobody was acknowledging it he just assumed it was common knowledge. So much shit here was readily accepted anyway.

You Get One Guess:
"Ah, Rayner, my little disciple! Did you make some more friends?"

Eliza:
"Oh man, check that shit out. That's cool as fuck." Eliza tries to find a seat to watch the magic man do his thing.

Rayner:
"Well, it's the string...but I'm not sure how HE does it. I mean, I do similar stuff, but...that's just with Poke Balls and smaller things."

You Get One Guess:
"A magician never reveals his tricks! Not even to his disciples...not until they're ready, and you have a ways to go!"

Nick:
"So were they his Pokemon, then? That you used in that video?"

Rayner:
"That they were! Well, sort of. They're his daughter's, now. She's around here somewhere..."

Rayner:
"See, I didn't want them anymore, so I gave 'em away."

Eliza:
the cutest daughter

Rayner:
"And who better to take up the mantle than the man's own blood?"

You Get One Guess:
"Oh, and I heard that! Of course I'm no 'bad guy'! Just one look should tell you that. Come on over, if you want a closer look."

Cliona:
You begin to take him up on that offer, but after just two steps, a quick-clipped, disembodied voice rings out from the empty space ahead of you, "No. Stop. Danger." Something appears in the spot you were about to step into, a vaguely familiar-looking spirit. The instant after it does, one of the slats on a not-quite-repaired building collapses on top of it! ...but it passes right through the shade harmlessly. Probably wouldn't have gone so well for you.

Nick:
"Alright, don't tell me he didn't know that was going to happen!"
Warlord is disconnected.

Eliza:
Eliza gives an applause like an audience would a magic show.

You Get One Guess:
"Oh, please! How could I have?"

Nick:
"I don't mean it in a bad way! Awesome showmanship!"

Rayner:
"What'd I tell you? Real goofball, isn't he?"

Rayner:
"Guess that's only natural, at his age."

Rayner:
poor warlord

Rayner:
the slats fell on HIM IRL

Nick:
quite the trick

Eliza:
RIP

You Get One Guess:
"So, if you're not going to help...did you want some life advice? Has someone caught your eye, my dear boy? Oh, or are you looking for Ally? I'm sure she'd like to see you all again."

Rayner:
"What's she up to? I'd have thought she';d be here herself."

Eliza:
"Cool it big man, I know he looks young, but he's finally hitting the high life of having his very own girlfriend." She cautiously raises her hand as if she were defending an arranged marriage.

Ignatius:
"Ally...is she safe?"

Nick:
He's uh

Eliza:
oh

Nick:
talking to Rayner.

Eliza:
wrong boy

Eliza:
dammit okay rip me

Nick:
"...Okay seriously, Eliza, cool your jets..."

You Get One Guess:
"Whoa, wait a minute there! A girlfriend? Rayner?"

Nick:
"I promise I didn't ask her to do this."

Eliza:
"Ah, I misspoke at a poor time."

Eliza:
"My apologies. There's a particular instance that is burning the back of mind at the moment."

Rayner:
"Haha...wrong boy, daddy-o. The other blonde-haired weird-eyed kid."

You Get One Guess:
"Are you talking about the girl, or the...which girl are you talking about?"

Nick:
"Forget about it. So you trained Rayner, right? What's your secret?"

Eliza:
"Isn't it obvious? Do you not know the rules of a magician?"

Nick:
"Getting the Pokemon is one thing, but - the guy just came out of nowhere, battling like that? That doesn't happen!"

You Get One Guess:
"Oh, it's no secret! Hard work and determination, my boy, that's all, of course! A little forcible adoption can't hurt, either."

Nick:
Merge and I are kinda moving over to the gaiden

Nick:
feels weird to progress without Warlord

Eliza:
Warlord again ceases to exist

Nick:
yeh

You Get One Guess:
poor boi

Nick:
Repped back

Eliza:
man I wanted to talk with Gyffes some more

Eliza:
he's my favorite

Nick:
fkn same

Nick:
like, I hate him

Nick:
but I like NPCs I hate

Eliza:
I miss Ally too

You Get One Guess:
aw come now why do you gotta hate the man

Nick:

You Get One Guess:
What'd he ever do to u

Eliza:

Eliza:

Eliza:

You Get One Guess:
