As we're in this mental realm, we whisper to Bishop in order to see if she's here with us.

>>7849257
...Continuing my last comment, Charmeleon pauses to consider her more cautious comrades as well as what she knows of Z so far, and grudgingly decides that it might be better to have a slightly safer first trial. Besides, she has some info for Bishop, and, she thinks with a coy smile, she finally seems to have an advantage over Z.

Also, previous thread is archived.

>>7849328
I dig it.

>>7849312
The bishop doesn't seem to be with you in this mental realm.

>>7849426
Then, in our confusion and surprise, as well as some fear from what we've just seen, we flee this dream-world back to the physical world before Porygon Z can sense us. After that, we go with >>7849328

>>7849328
>>7849453
You return. The bishop smiles at you. "Was your trip fruitful?"

>>7849472
It confirmed my suspicions and raised some questions, so I'd say yes. ...Is it possible for you to look into my mind and see yourself, I'll allow it, as it was... difficult to describe with words.

>>7849472
"Hardly. All I saw were jumbled figures and images, and Porygon Z in the middle of it all."

>>7849498
Also, could you teach me how to guard my mind? It'd be helpful to not have Z discover my meetings with you, and I'd like to keep even the smallest advantage from his knowledge.

>>7849498
This.

>>7849498
>>7849513
>>7849524
"Unfortunately, I cannot help you block your mind; the two of you are connected. You've confirmed my suspicions; your psychic signatures are identical. As for what you saw... I cannot say what it truly meant; this experience is beyond me."

Also, I hate to sound repetitive, but could you release Snover and Magnemite now? Perhaps teach me how to?

>>7849556
Hmm, I wonder if this is like that one movie, and if we kill him we get stronger?

>>7849567

THERE CAN BE ONLY WAAAAAAAN!

>>7849556
...But when I first hatched, there were many eggs with me in the... incubation chamber I suppose and my placement didn't seem to be significant by any degree.

>>7849597
Different movie. I'm thinking about the one, it has either Jackie Chan or Jet Lee in it. Anyway, he goes around killing the other versions of himself in parallel dimensions to get stronger.

>>7849556
I trust you've seen the minds of Pokemon before, perhaps even that of a Porygon or Porygon 2, or at know of someone in your group who has viewed those two. How different is it?

>>7849556
"In that case, could you teach me to see into Porygon Z's mind again - preferably without it sensing me and being able to decipher what it's doing."

>>7849635

I figured... But I just felt the need to post that.

>>7849640
"The mind of a Porygon, and of many other inorganic Pokemon, is strange; it tends to be rather rigid, dominated by internal programs."

>>7849643
"Hiding should be easy enough. The ceaseless chaos in its mind should weaken its focus to see into itself."

>>7849681
Does that match the... Left side I think it was, of Z's mind?

>>7849681
"Is there a way that you could see with me in the future? Being in that place was very... unsettling. It would be comforting to know that there is someone with experience there to guide me - at least until I become accustomed to it."

>>7849681
"So I suppose the chaotic bit was whatever is making it crazy?"

>>7849722
She shakes her head. "This is a link that only the two of you share. I could never break into Z's mind."

>>7849726
"Yes... whatever that may be."

>>7849779
"Eh, Team Rocket created it, most likely from a Porygon 2. They probably got some code mixed up or something. GIGO- Garbage In, Garbage Out."

>>7849779
"In that case, could you give me some advice? Surely you've had experience with entering someone's mind before, or you have associates that have."

>>7849779
I was wondering... I heard from Sarina about what happened to the world, something about computers crashing and throwing the world into chaos. ...Do you think Z can/wants to do that?

>>7849844
It almost certainly can, given what we have seen. It did attack Team Galactic's headquarters, along with Team Aqua and probably Team Rocket as well. It may very well be trying to bring down the network.

>>7849779
...How did this link happen? I mean we were born in the same building, but I couldn't find any connections.

>>7849844
"I don't know... all I know is the link between your signature's not Z's motives."
>>7849811
"I can tell you some things. Never try to force yourself anywhere, or you disturb your target. Just allow yourself to drift to the places you want to reach. And hide within their lower, unconscious thoughts."

>>7849882
Or conquer it so it can move its forces anywhere in the world while plunging Humanity into chaos from the lack of communication between cities.

>>7849892
"Thank you, Bishop. Is there anything I can do for you in exchange for this gift?"

>>7849903
I doubt such a logical pokemon, one who is literally created from order and sets or rules and laws, would want chaos. Whatever it has planned, it's will be as un-anarchy as possible.

>>7849892
...A while ago when I was asleep, I think reached Z's mind in my dreams... only it looked different. I saw "a vast space, full of bizarre shapes. It looked like a city, though the buildings were placed... wrong, like gravity wasn't working right. And there were these weird glowing lines almost like streets I guess, and I heard Z talking to someone... or commanding rather. I haven't been able to understand it, and put it out of my mind, but perhaps you can enlighten me?
(This is from the beginning of part 8 of the quest by the way.)

>>7849991
Put quotation marks around what you want the character to say, please. It helps everyone keep up with whether the anon is saying it or if the character is thinking/saying it.

" " - speech
* * - thought
__ - anon addressing the DM/other anons.

>>7850038
Okay, I was treating parenthesis as meta/out of character but whatever

>>7849923
"My request to you is simple. Don't die."

>>7850051
Technicality Nazi Mode- ACTIVATE!

Parenthesis are ) and (

These: " are quotation marks.

>>7850076
Got it, though pretty much everything except the last parenthesied bit was directed towards Bishop.

>>7850070
"Heh, don't worry - I don't plan on it..."
Charmeleon thinks about the current situation - a powerful and mysterious psychic Human, with the ability to appear/reappear without being detected...
"...Bishop, could I request something of you?"

>>7850104
Okay. And sorry, but sometimes the inner spelling/grammar/whatever nazi just has to come out. Hope there are no hurt feelings.

>>7850131
"Yes? What is it?"

>>7850135
Nah, and it does make things clearer... Though I prefer parenthesis to underscore.

>>7850190
Fair enough. As long as everyone understands, I guess it really doesn't matter what symbol you use.

>>7850144
"You seem to know more than we do about certain things, and you have the ability to go where you please without being detected. Could you possibly tell us what's going on inside Mauville? Maybe even mark a structure inside that would be safe for my comrades and I to hide from Magma while we attempt to free the city?"

>>7850211
We don't need to free the city anymore. We have the Go-Goggles thanks to Bishop.

>>7850211
>>7850231
Honestly, I really need to go to bed now. Can we continue this debate on Tuesday?

Also, if someone were to archive this for me, I'd appreciate it a lot.

>>7850251
Got it covered

>>7850251
Nighty-night Charming. See you Tuesday!
