I really, really, really hate espers.
>>29836563So close to 20 charm, so close.
>>29836637Soooooooooooooon
Hmm, well we wait for the first update shall we discuss what to spend our points on? I'm partial to upgrading Feint Attack, Water Gun and Thrown Weapons
>>29836563How much swag did Devon pull down for his actions?
>>29836696Speaking of Devon, I am now imagining him decked out in bling he bought with his SC
>>29836563>Tenacity: (15) Modifies (0) to rolls.>Ingenuity(19): Modifies (+2)>Perception(10): Modifies (0)
>>29836721Gimme a sec. Writing the next part.
anyone up for pumping Rest to rank 4?
>>29836770Yo.
>>29836713He is just wearing twenty pairs of sun glasses.
>>29836779>"Alright guys, we need to travel for about 6 hours to ____. Preserving stamina is our maximum priority. Move out!">"Hey Ceru, you've been quiet for some time, how exactly are you preserving stamina?">zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ygg I think you forgot to modify the bonus's each stat would give. Charm\Ingenuity should be at +4 and Tenacity at +2
>>29836735Would upgrading Ice Shard improve Icicle Gun or does that only improve with Water Gun upgrades?How does it interact with the level buff from the freezer array?
>>29836770I say Snarl, Rest, and Ice Shards to start with.I think it'll cost 7 to get those upgraded, which should leave us enough to get Icy Wind upgraded as well.
>>29836844he's working on it
>>29836846>Icicle GunIt counts as Ice. It improves with both.>>29836844Writing the next part before I fix that.
>>29836864>It counts as Ice. It improves with both.So how does that work out?
>>29836864>>Icicle Gun>It counts as Ice. It improves with both.So, just making sure I have this right, but it gets a lethality boost over Water Gun and then also gets a buff from the +1level from the FA?
>>29836864What's the cost for Ice Ball anyway? Should we consider it as if it was (0), except usable?
>>29836852I'd replace ice shards with thrown weapons, to keep them at the same level. Quick attack is also way too useful with everything to not have at least 1 point in it.
>>29836864Professor how much stamina does Bubblebeam cost?
>>29836674want put some into rest, nasty plot, water gun, and or frosty breath.
>>29836925Feint Attack and Quick Attack occupy the same general niche, though a level in it isn't a bad idea.And I suggested upping Ice Shards because it upgrades icicle gun as well.
>>29836918Yes.>>29836949For stamina costs I take the total PP of a pokemon move by canon and base it off of how the percentage for how many times it can be used.There are exceptions to this however, and a few notable ones that will always put you at 0 stamina.
I'd sayIcy wind +1 (cost 4) (trying to unlock blizzard)Sleepwalk +2 (cost 2)Thrown weapon +2 (cost 3)Snarl +1(cost 2)4+2+3+2=11
I hope we get psybeam and bubble beam up to at least one rank.I mean, they're basically alternate firing modes on our water gun. Grenade/mine mode and ethereal blast. Good for attack shaping.
>>29837004Sleepwalk doesn't upgrade itself. It's part of Rest. You gotta put points into that.
>>29836997Oh man Professor, I can FEEL your energy tonight.I'm loving it.
Reporting!Are we picking up back in the office? Just after delivering our assessment of our team and ourselves? What was everyone's reactions? Is Devon mad?
>>29837036>Is Devon mad?isn't that just his default temperament?
>>29836997Does this mean that PP-Up is a possible thing to reduce stamina costs for one move permanently?
>>29837024Agreed, at least one rank in each should be a thing.If we have to pick only one, I want Psybeam
>>29836977>nasty plotHow I wish we had Tail Glow.
>>29836864So what gym does Kenn come from anyway? Because I was thinking that if we could somehow learn how to use our tail as a weapon, we could use it to somehow improve Crossroad Killing.Anyway. My wishlist.>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>Ice Shards (3) - 2 skill points>Quick Attack (2) - 2 skill points>Thrown Weapons (2) - 1 skill point>Ice Ball (2) - 2 skill points11 total cost.
>>29837036Yeah- Writing.Figure out what you want to purchase. Mind sparing some for a skillset during a training period.>>29837061It would set your Stamina higher than normal, permanently.
>>29837090>Not putting any points into Rest
>>29837090I am okay with this, but exchange Ice Shards and Thrown Weapons for Psybeam and Rest
>>29837090I recall saying Veridian.
>>29837090>>29837108I'd move the points from quick attack and ice ball to 1 level of rest and 1 floating point to use later.
I want points in REST and PSYBEAM. The rest is hwatever
>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>Rest (4) - 3 points>Ice Shards (3) - 2 skill points>Thrown Weapons (2) - 1 skill point
The rockets file out of Giovanni's office, you find yourself the last to leave, with the feeling of Devon's stare drilling into the back of your head before he finally marches on out.Your review seems to have put everyone in a good mood except for him as you see him stomping away, down the hall.As you watch after the evil ranger, his spaded tail flicking with agitation, you feel a hard slap upon your back, snapping you out of the lull of the depressing mood.You arch your back away from the hit and kind of noodle yourself around it uncomfortably in your surprise.“Figured you needed that.” You turn to see Bruise, smirking at you, his hand moving to gently squeezer your shoulder.“I... I'm okay Bruise.” You touch your arm sullenly, your mind flashing back to the things that Devon said at the penthouse, with his mouth all bloody.“No you're not,” Bruise leans in close, his face not far from yours,”I've been training with you long enough to know when something's bothering you. I know what he did was pretty messed up. You don't have to work with him again though, you know?”You stare at bruise for a moment before blinking your second eyelids, something that always proves to take him aback. Smiling a little sadly, you look to the others as they leave.Goldie's still kind of giddy with whatever happened earlier, Alexis following a few paces after. Devon's by himself, and Sanna must be running right back to her room, leaving the two of you alone.You know yourself that you'd just like to fall into bed at a time like this. It's shaping up into the evening after the long day.
>>29837095>Icy Wind 4->5=4>Ice Shards 2->3=2>Rest 3->4=3>Quick Attack 0->1=1total=10 points, 1 floating.
>>29837090>>29837108>>29837115>>29837153Yeah, sure, I'd be amicable to that.>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>Rest (4) - 3 skill pointsAnd either>Ice Shards (3) - 2 skill pointsor>Quick Attack (2) - 2 skill pointsI'm leaning towards Ice Shards myself. UNLESS quick attack lets us quick draw our water guns?This leaves us with 2 more skill points. I guess we could get>Psybeam (1) - 1 skill pointif enough people want it.>>29837119Icicle Gun isn't affected by Thrown Weapons training, right?
“How about we go down to the cafe for some food? Or out into Saffron for a restaurant or something-you know, since we've got the...” He pauses for a moment,”On second thought, I think everyone still might be scared after the lock-down.” Chuckling, he parts from you, scratching his head.You blush a little beneath your fur, kind of unsure on what kind of offer that was. It sounded like something an adult does.>[] Well, we could try... How about a swim?>[] Thanks Bruise, but I'm going to bed.>[] I want to vist Lilac. >>[] Come with me?>[] What about Kitty?>[] (Other)
GUNNER BUILD>Water Gun (6) - 9 Skill points>Ice Shards (3) - 2 Skill points
>>29837202I am significantly less bothered now that I just have to worry about crazy friends and not brain destruction.
>>29837226Visit Lilac, take Alexis/Sanna/both, have girl talk.
>>29837219I don't see the point of psybeam frankly.We already have a good variety of attack moves.
>>29837219>Icicle Gun isn't affected by Thrown Weapons training, right?No, it is not. You may be able to find some marksman training however. Thrown weapon training will also affect any improvised weapons you throw.Like goddamn sand, rocks, icicles and other things found/made in the field.
>>29837219This, this is perfectly acceptable by me right now.I mean, I wanted a Water Gun upgrade, but I can deal with not having 100% of what I want
>>29837226[x]wait, what about kitty?Regardless of where we should go, I thought bruise and kitty were such a nice couple.
>>29837202Oh Devon. Satisfied with nothing but perfection?>>29837226>Visit LilacLet's share our adventure with her. I'm sure she'd appreciate it. Bruise can come too.>>29837261Cool.
>>29837226>1Let's go for a swim, to clear our head.
>>29837226>[X] I want to vist Lilac. Ask him if he wants to come with
>>29837234target unfit for capture. Reason: riddled with icicle holes.Also, fine with changing this >>29837210to this>>29837219 if enough people want it.
>>29837226>>[] I want to vist Lilac.Lets bring bruise
>>29837219I like your build. Rest and something Icy is a good thing.I'd prefer Ice Shards over Quick attack, because it would improve the Icicle Gun.Psybeam is just kind of a why thing. We have far better espers than anything we can put out. We operate in squads for a reason.Maybe get both Ice Shards and Quick attack and leave Psybeam alone?
>>29837226We're tired, visit Lilac tomorrow. [X] Well, we could try... How about a swim?Give Bruise a hug, the fluffiest hug we can. "How about we grab some food and hit the water. I could use a chance to just relax, swim a bit.You're a good guy Bruise, thanks."
>>29837219If people want this, we need to decide on whether or not we get Ice Shards or Quick Attack.>>29837261So does Quick Attack translate into "quick draw"?
>>29837226>[X] I want to vist Lilac.
>>29837323I'd prefer Ice Shards, Quick Attack is somewhat redundant since we have Feint Attack.
>>29837219Icy Wind (5) - 4Rest (4) - 3Ice Shards (3) - 2Quick Attack (2) - 211 total
>>29837313Psybeam is useful for confusion, and it'd be nice to be able to have a little variety.Besides, it's not that expensive.
>>29837313That's also an option, we'd just use all 11 skill points we have right now. Would everyone be fine with that?>>29837333Feint Attack isn't as 'quick'. It's more about surprise.
>>29837226>[X] I want to vist Lilac. Can someone say Sleepover part 2?
>>29837313>whyDon't you want to snipe through walls, anon?
>>29837333Quick attack has priority.>>29837323>So does Quick Attack translate into "quick draw"?Yes.>>29837219This seems reasonable. Is this what you all want?
>>29837384I'm pretty sure Psybeam doesn't go through walls.
>>29837394>Quick Attack is this goodYep, definitely want Quick Attack now.>>29837219>Is this what you wantHell yeah.
>>29837401It's a psionic laser. You may be surprised.
>>29837394>This seems reasonable. Is this what you all want?I want >>29837349It's basically >>29837219 but with Quick Attack instead of Psybeam.
>>29837394>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>Rest (4) - 3 skill points>Ice Shards (3) - 2 skill points>Quick Attack (2) - 2 skill pointsSo that there isn't any confusion, this is the submission. No Psybeam, unless someone really wants to argue for it.
>>29837333Feint Attack is slower and more dangerous to use.>>29837419We are getting Psybeam
>>29837394I want all the stuff listed in that post except psybeam. I just don't like the psybeam, sorry guys.
>>29837219I am perfectly okay with this build.I would pick Ice Shards and wouldn't mind Psybeam.
>>29837419Does it come out of our forehead? Can we alpha strike with it and all our water guns at once?
>>29837394I'd like to upgrade water gun somehow in there.I'd also like bubble beam and psybeam.I might not get all these things.
>>29837432>>29837422Seconding
>>29837432I want Psybeam, and Quick Attack instead of Ice Shards
>>29837419Welp. I'm sold on Psybeam.
>>29837432Sounds reasonable.>>29837440We already have a bunch of ranged attacks, no need to sink even more points in yet another one.
>>29837475It comes from our ominguns.
>>29837419It's also a rank 1 non-STAB move that will require us spend more on it instead of other moves to get to acceptable levels.I'd rather not get it.
>>29837226[x] What about Kitty?[x] I want to visit Lilac.
>>29837394Okay, here are our two main options.Set 1: (Costs 11 skill points)>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>Rest (4) - 3 skill points>Ice Shards (3) - 2 skill points>Quick Attack (2) - 2 skill pointsSet 2: (Costs 10 skill points)>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>Rest (4) - 3 skill points>Quick Attack (2) - 2 skill points>Psybeam (1) - 1 skill pointMaybe put it to a vote?
>>29837516It only costs one XP man. It's worth the unique variety of an Esper attack
>>29837419Okay. That sounds pretty fucking nice.
>>29837432I'd like this, would prefer Bubblebeam and Psybeam instead of Ice Shards but this is fine.
>>29837534Voting for Set 2You should add Bubblebeam, just so we can spend max XP
>>29837540No, it costs us not having Ice Shards or Quick Attack upgraded until our next payoff and it will be a drain on future xp to make it maintain usability.
>psysnipe fool's brains through wallsTime for shinx eyes![]spoilerI'm sorry
>>29837561Not many people actually want Bubblebeam. I'm just picking out the suggestions that come out the most.
>>29837568>Costs us not having Quick AttackNo it doesn't though. I want Quick Attack too
>>298375341
>>29837226>>[x] I want to vist Lilac.lets thank Lilac Bruise is welcome (he won't becuz it was 2spooky4him)
Looks good to me.>>29837534>Set 1: (Costs 11 skill points)>>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>>Rest (4) - 3 skill points>>Ice Shards (3) - 2 skill points>>Quick Attack (2) - 2 skill points>Set 2: (Costs 10 skill points)>>Icy Wind (5) - 4 skill points>>Rest (4) - 3 skill points>>Quick Attack (2) - 2 skill points>>Psybeam (1) - 1 skill point>Set1>Set2Link here with only your vote.Counting ends in 4 minutes.
>>29837534I would vote Set 2, but replace Quick Attack with Ice Shards.
>>29837226swimming
>>29837623>Set2
>>298376231
>>29837623>Set1

>>29837623end
>>29837728Set2 won
What would Psybeam even upgrade into?What situation would we use it in that it would outclass Goldie/Alexis or any of our Water or Ice moves?Really not trying to be a whining sore loser about this, but I'm genuinely curious. What is good about this thing at all other than the fact that "Psionic Laser" sounds cool?
>>29837788Well, what won it over was the fact that it can't be blocked by barricades.
>>29837788Gives us more options. What if we get in a fight with an ice monster? Would be nice to have something that it wont resist.
>>29837788It's not about outclassing Espers, bro.It's about variety. Possible combos. Flexibility.What would it upgrade into? I'm not actually sure. If we like it, we could find out. But if no one does, then well, we won't.
>>29837788Here>>29837419It's another trickshot for us to use.
>>2983762322222222111111Set 2 it is. Cerulean enters the psybeam.>>29837788It could become Psyshock, psywave, and maybe heal-pulse with training.>>29837833Indeed. As a non-esper you'll always be outclassed by espers when it comes to esper ability. Just like you'll always outclass them when it comes to shooting water.
>>29837853>PsyshockHOLY FUCK
>>29837853>Psyshock>Heal PulseOoo, that's intriguing.But next XP haul I want us to focus on water upgrades.I want Surf, damn it
>>29837788There's a few things I like about Psybeam:1.) It provides good coverage if there aren't any espers available.2. ) We can use it in conjunction with our other attacks.3.) If can bypass barricades, meaning it goes through walls, which is always a good thing.
>>29837817Yes, but we can't see or otherwise sense through them accurately like Goldie or Alexis can.Wall penetration is neat, but the only way it will be a good chance of hit is if it's a small barrier that they're ducked behind, and if that's the case then AoE from Icy Wind would probably be better.>>29837832Ice doesn't resist anything other than Ice. Water does fine.>>29837833We have a squad for coverage.>>29837853>It could become Psyshock, psywave, and maybe heal-pulse with training.>heal-pulse>PsyshockOk. THAT won me over. Psybeam wasn't as bad as I thought initially.Well, it is bad. It can just become something better.
>>29837853Question; how will upgrading our psychic moves affect our interaction with other psychics? Does it make us more susceptible? Would we resonate more with beneficial psychic affects? Would we be be able to better resist psychic moves?
>>29837899>SurfHow does Hidden Machines work in this world.
>>29837853Huh.Any chance we can learn an Electric attack later on?
>>29837905I like the possibilities Psybeam open up. Professor really won me over, with that mention.But anyway, like I said, next XP haul should be our water upgrade tree.
>>29837905It's not like there's always going to be a wall. Sometimes there's just going to be a small barricade. Like in Ceru's confrontation with Devon when she was under the Hypno's control.
>>29837948yes. I want more water gun.I want to water gun HARDER. All our projectiles benefit from a shootier watergun.
>Go to Saffron gym>"Sabrina, can you help me with my fish lasers?"
>>29837899>SurfShould Cerulean learn how to dive too? Or how to cut things?>>29837925For Cerulean it's classified as an esper-like. Psybeam interacts with something's mind thus it doesn't strike at the flesh alone. >>29837955It also works with lock-on.Psyshock's implement would basically be a psychic surge that could eventually smash boulders while not originating in the mind.
>>29837948I'm thinking Nasty Plot, Water Gun, and Ice Shards.Turn on Nasty Plot, and then we go on a gunning frenzy.
>>29837905What if its one of these fat fuckers?
>>29837973>late night "training" with Goldie
>>29837985>It also works with lock-on.But don't we have to see a target in the first place for lock-on to work?That means that it's good for enemies diving into cover, but not entrenched foes.
>>29837926Maybe TM and HM are injections that unlock the hidden potential of the implants
>>29837985>Learn to dive and cutSure man. Long as she learns how to flash people.
>>29838001Voltorb zappy bident.
>>29837853>>29837985So prof, how close are we to unlocking new ice moves such as blizzard and ice beam?Would getting psybeam make us a wee bit closer to unlocking ice beam?
>>29837985nah, just Defog
>>29838044Because we'll never lose it right?
>>29838047Maybe we need extra prerequisites like a point or two in Aurora Beam to unlock Ice Beam.
>>29838044I keep forgetting we have that. Probably should have put a bit more into training with it.
>>29838085Because we'll definitely run into a Wallrein that we absolutely have to engage and defeat, right?
>>29837985look, it's OUR hobby time and we'll learn to surf if we want to.We can even meet a hawaaian friend who tells us we have to use a longboard because of our extra weight.
>>29838099Naw, Professor would tell us if we needed prerequisites.
>>29838016Blind-fire too.>>29838047Blizzard's pretty powerful. >>29838126>>29838099Could've sworn I alluded to Aurora unlocking Ice beam. Psybeam will work for the purpose though.
>>29838112>Meet a Hawaiian friend>Not learning to Surf with Giovanni>In a speedo>Always a speedo
>>29838112Rocket Power?
>>29838147Oh, really?Huh.so we just needed to know how to make a beam?I am chuckling heartily. But sweet.
>>29838147>Could've sworn I alluded to Aurora unlocking Ice beam. Psybeam will work for the purpose though.So we can substitute points in aurora beams with points in psybeam?Cool.
>>29838147>Psybeam will work for the purpose though.Bah. I should have known this would happen.>Get mildly ruffled by something appearing to be a total waste>Prof only tells us later that it was actually useful>No longer ruffled.
>>29838175Oh god. No wonder Giovanni wears speedos.I bet he loves hockey and rollerblading too.
>>29838147>Blind-fire tooSo if we were hiding behind cover, we wouldn't have to stick our heads out, cause the psybeam would go through our cover?
>>29838175yes
>>29837932charge beam is another thing remoraids can spit, though that could require tutoring.
>>29838175Fuck. Fuck.Devon is Otto. Cerulean is Reggie.Giovanni is Raymundo.
>>29838197Eh, Professor's gotten better at unruffling.I'd go so far as to call him Lays
>>29838213hehehe Ceru should get a few hawaian shirts and board shorts.
Hey guys. Guess what's the equivalent of the Black Glasses but for Esper attacks.That's right. Spoon.And we got a walking spoon factory right down the hall.
>>29838232And thunderwave too, apparently...
>>29838197You guys never bought bubble/aurora/psybeam
>>29838232Fucking laser fish.
>>29838238Then who's the Squid?
>>29838279Set 2 had psybeam.
>>29838299Before.
>>29838265Unlimited spoon works
>>29838279>>29838299Well, we JUST got psybeam, so.
>>29838285The Squid is a Malamar
>>29838279>>29838308we'll pick them up eventually.assuming we don't die or stop getting xp.
>>29837973And so begins the ballad of the Laser Fat Cat Fish.
>>29838279You tend to give out more info for some things than others before we lock them in.
>>29838340Yeah, when asked.
>>29838042I laughed.
>>29838279Eh, I wanted to use the last XP on bubblebeam.But no one wanted bubblebeam.So now we have a useless XP hanging around.Well, useless until we get more.
>>29838355>"You never asked."
>>29838374I voted bubblebeam.
>>29838175That was a fun episode.
>>29838355You're the worst.I'll ask more questions from now on.>>29838383>I forever see Professor like this
>>29838333
>>29838383Hey.Hey.Listen.You know what you did?New OC
The entirety of this thread so far, I love it.
>>29838374It was either we used them all up or we kept a point or two in reserve.
>>29838399>New OCWhat combo of Fairy/Esper/Evil are you going with?
>>29838374There were a couple of people who wanted Bubblebeam. Guess we'll just wait til next time.
>>29838399>This cheeky fuck>I can totally see that thing being a new Pokes>Super intelligent Fairy type cat incoming
Would it be possible to do Bubblebeam + Ice Shards for Ice Shotgun?
>>29838452spiked bubbles
>>29838421It has an ability that lets it switch between all three of them depending on what will let it deal the most damage at the time or take the least from an attack.
>>29838452>Ice Shotgun?Sounds more like Ice Bomb or Ice-type Stealth Rock
You mull it over in your head for a moment, as he looks down to you, running his fingers over his cornrow braids. Lilac played a pretty big role in this whole thing, but she didn't get any reward or congratulations... It kind of sucks.“I.. I want to tell Lilac how this all went. She should know. It might be nice to get her something too...”Bruise raises an eyebrow among his gray skin,” You'd like to get her something now?”You struggle with that for a moment before shaking your head,”Yeah, no.. Now's not a good time. I should ask her what she likes.. Ahh.. Could you maybe come with me to do that?”Bruise's eyes go wide for a moment before his posture turns decidedly nervous,”I-well. Heh, I don't know if I should be asking that. You know the way she looks at me sometimes.”“What about the way Kitty looks at you?” You say with a bit of a pout.“That-” He points to emphasize the point, as if it's needed,”That is different.”With a sigh, you let it go,”I'll just go alone, thanks for nothing Bruise.”“Hey, wait a second Cerulean.” Bruise tries to get you to stop, but you're already walking away.You give him a tired wave, this whole thing with him is kind of complicated, isn't it?===================================You arrive at the graven spire, it's a bit later, though there's still time for the last tram. Place is spooky and haunted as it always is, but it's kind of a nostalgic feeling, if that makes sense for one as young as you. It feels kind of like home, a home away from home where you have a lonely friend.You approach the Miko at the door. Another different one on the rotation. You can tell their minor differences in their height, their hair color. Yet they've never given you their names.“Hi I'm here to see Lilac.” He smile at her, awaiting the smoke test.
>>29838452That's more like a scatter-shot. The way shotguns work in real life are rather different from what video games has raised us to believe.
>>29838479That would be absolutely disgusting.In 1v1 fights it would resist Bug, Dark, and Ghost while being immune to Psychic, Fighting, and Normal.Then STAB+Supereffective against Fighting, Poison, Ghost, Psychic, Dark, and Dragon while having unresisted neutral against everything else.-Absolutely disgusting-
>>29838538>You give him a tired wave, this whole thing with him is kind of complicated, isn't it?Oh, you're so naive, Cerulean. So naive. One day, when you enter the world of the adults....one day.....
>>29838559>immune to Psychic, Fighting, and Normal.And Dragon
>>29838559Sounds about right.
The Miko looks at you, moving a strand of hair behind her ear carefully,”Hm? Ah, visitor. I am sorry. You are not allowed to see Lilac, she is being punished right now.”Your heart drops, and your jaw slacks a little with worry welling in your eyes,”I... What? Why? Why is she being punished?”The Miko frowns at you,”I am sorry visitor, this concern is of the Spire. I must ask you to leave unless you are here to see a resident.”>[] Ask to see Chuck...>>[]Try to see Lilac anyway.>[] Give up and return to your dorm.>[] Press the Miko for information.>>[]Demand to be let in.>[] (Other)

If we critfail the charm roll, please don't burn charm guys.We get a bonus something once a stat goes above 20.
>>29838734I wonder if getting 20 Charm automatically gives us dimples, or something.Professor said 20 was important.

>>29838968Sadly, I don't think it works that way, anon.
>>29838971Oh, it wasn't a failed check, it was a crit failure. And really, I think Prof's done away with that, since he started adding in the ability to spend our stat points to supplement rolls or avert crit failures (because, really, between accepting a crit failure and losing stats or spending stats to cancel a crit failure....it's kind of.....you know).
>>29838988What do you mean? It means that first roll was using the wrong dice and therefore is invalid, meaning the fifth valid roll for it succeeded and with no crit fail to counter it, it's a pass

Your raise yourself on your toes a little bit, swaying back and forth with an averted gaze, the kind that you've used now and again to manipulate those that see past your monstrous appearance and see how adorable you really are.“So.. I really can't see Lilac... I wonder what happened.” You act disinterested as the miko looks down on you, her somber gaze trademark for her position. The stagnant, fragranced air of the Graven Spire looms around the two of you, drawing shadows across your visage.“Is it really such a big deal if you tell me? I just want to know what's going on with my friend.” You appear genuinely disappointed, as you rightly are.The Miko's face still looks past you, through you even at this point, holding her ground.“Please?” You finally offer with a really pouty lip and she squints her eyes closed, finally folding.“Visitor, I know Medium Lilac is your friend. As her friend, you should know that she is disallowed-by Agatha from chanelling and especially from-” She goes quiet, opening her eyes. Leanin down she whispers,”Eating them.”She brings herself back up into position,”I am sorry Visitor. I can not allow you to enter unless you are here for a resident. The Medium Lilac is indisposed due to her misdeeds.” She sets herself right back to the dutiful maiden that guards the spire.>[] Return to your dorm..

>>29839396>>29839449>>29839455Addendum: If asked for why we had brought the issue to Lilac, it was because it was an issue pertaining to the security of the Dome. If Agatha is as well informed as any other Gym Leader, she should know of the infiltration of psychic creatures into the dome and the attempted sabotage of the Vermillion quarter's power plant.

>>29839449>Take the blame.Alright guys...
>>29839635Well, really, was there any way we could have Cerulean run away from her friends?
>>29839635Oh boy, here comes punishment timeIf the punishment is enough to put Lilac in line, it'll be enough to scar poor Ceru. This is going to be fun.
>>29839635We're selfless and dumb motherfuckers.Just uh, be sure to mention to Agatha it was important to dome security, and we didn't know she wasn't allowed to channel at all
>Goodbye all the Tenacity we just got.>Goodbye soul
>>29839668time to prematurely unlock our medium powers!!!
>>29839670No, we knew she wasn't allowed to channel, I think. It was after our first meeting with her that another miko informed us that. We just forgot about it.
>>29839670>she wasn't allowed to channel at allLilac's introduction involved how she was barely even allowed that. It hasn't changed even a year and a half later. Cerulean likely would've forgotten anyway as it's not what they talk about.
>>29839701WELL A REMINDER WOULD'VE BEEN NICEI find it hard to believe all 20+ of us forgot that shit.>>29839708>IC forgot anywayAw poop.And here I thought all characters in quests had perfect memory.
By taking the blame, I think we've just all but guaranteed Lilac never gets to become a ranger.
>>29839635So. A night of punishment with a friend?
You fuckers still didn't buy bubblebeam for the explosive psionic bubble mines? are you crazy?It would deal water/psychic/ice/normal damage!!!!!!!!!!
>>29839708We won't forget this time.
>>29839739>normalWhat?
>>29839730What's your reasoning? I don't follow at all. It seems like you've taken a bit of a leap in logic.
>>29839759i assume some sort of explosiveness as normal
>>29839759>>29839769Explosion is a Normal type move so obviously explosive psionic bubble mines would be part normal!
"Cadet Cerulean! For transgressions against the Spire and gross misconduct unbecoming of a Rocket. I have no choice but to give the highest form of punishment I can give. A 5% pay deduction!"
>>29839784Er....I wasn't talking to you at all.
>>29839769She'd likely end up on the Rockets because Giovanni would want a medium.Ceru is a Rocket.Ceru is a bad influence on Lilac.Lilac no become ranger.
>>29839708You know, I only voted to take the blame because I wanted to meet Agatha
>>29839739>create an explosive bubble>fill it with psionic energy>freeze it>lay the mines/shoot them Pretty stacked combo, especially if we can do it all at once.
>>29839811>She'd likely end up on the Rockets because Giovanni would want a medium.Also because Giovanni is the only one with enough pull to have a chance of convincing Agatha.
>>29839811All we have to do is win over Agatha.This is Cerus specialty. No one stays mad at the cute little monstergirl.
>>29839739You're in every thread, thinking you can just combine psybeam and bubblebeam and magically turn a mind-scrambling beam and bubbles into air mines.Just stop. Psybeam doesn't work like that, and I don't know about bubblebeam.
>>29839817Hey, maybe we'll get to figure out what's up with Lilac?Like, is she implanted and that's why she gets a huge hard on for ghosts, or what have you.Always wanted to know what her problem was
>>29839811>Ceru is a bad influence on Lilac.How did you reach that conclusion.Ceru isn't expected to remember the protocols of the Spire and the way they work is kept a mystery to everyone else. In fact, Ceru has a reputation for being quite disciplined. If she was properly educated on what's expected of a medium, she'd be a good influence on Lilac.
>>29839842The other elite four probably could do it.>>29839863Professor specifically stated it would work.
>>29839855The Miko outside had a DC22 just to tell us what was going on.Ceru ain't convincing Agatha of shit.
>>29839881Screencap.
>>29839881>The other elite four probably could do it.The other Elite 4 aren't here and don't recruit new rangers.
>>29839888Prof regularly gives out 20+ DC for some reason.
>>29839923>They get bonuses to an action that they're supposed to be good at>Better raise the DC!
>>29839895gimme a sec and ill give you a link
>>29839969I also give you guys 5 rolls and you're still a 12 year old.

>>29840034We are?>>29840026d20
>>29840026For both, but 7 rolls on a luck roll.

>>29839988>>29839895>>29839881http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/28385124/#p28394788>>Bubblebeam, and Psybeam?>>Filling bubbles with Psionic energy to set up a psychic splash damage minefield.>I'd allow it.
>>29839991The problem, I think, is that many of the rolls you give us often require a roll on the 16-20 range. And 5 rolls can be harmful when there's a chance for a 1 to pop up and make it a crit failure. I believe someone raised the probability of a 1 coming up to you? Either here or in the QTG.
>>29840052>>29840051I thought we started out as twelve
>>29840137That is what stats are for. because we brun it for the critfails and gain it on the critwins and doing other shit.
>>29840145no, we started out as 10 and then there was a 2 year timeskip early on.Did you just join without reading the earlier threads or something?
>>29840115I still prefer Psybeam being more of a mind scrambler.'Filling' a bubble with psychic energy sounds ridiculous to me, but if Prof. allows it with POKESCIENCE, then by all means, we'll use it if something boils down to it.
>>29840173It's still a horrible system.
>>29840115That sounds like it's just Psychic damage and not the psychic/water/ice/normal combo you were saying.
>>29840177No, its just that twelve is the number i think of when i think small child. Once it was pointed out i remembered.Been here from thread 1 actually. I was the guy who kept bugging the Prof about Bruises pastebin saying no implants.>>29840204Mind scrambling explosive bubbles will confuse and stun and damage enemies.
>>29840204Oh, well, if we can infuse stuff with psychic energy....Idea: What if we infuse our icicles with them? We can shoot them into the ground in a circle to set up some sort of "psychic" field that confuses people inside it. Maybe act as an amplifier for the abilities of other psychics too.
>>29840204>I still prefer Psybeam being more of a mind scrambler.It is.It'd be like a flash-bang.
>>29840227d20 ain't so bad when you can burn something to save yourself.But I do prefer d100.And even 3d6
>>29840241well it would deffintately have the water/explosiveit's just the freezing them that may be iffy
>>29840245>We can shoot them into the ground in a circle to set up some sort of "psychic" field that confuses people inside it. Maybe act as an amplifier for the abilities of other psychics too.Better upgrade it.
>>29840245You.I like you.You're an ideas man.Lets just hope our soul isn't ripped out for giggles
>>29840245i think its more like you need something to contain the energy instead of just "infusing" it
>>29840271Cool. Cool.Cold.
>>29840271What would bubblebeam upgrade into?
>>29840291dude, it's psychic brain radiation that goes through walls, if we can get it to stay in a bubble, we can get it to stay in an icicle.
>>29840334Water pulse.
>>29840343Meh. I'd rather go with water gun as our water attack.
>>29840343i like it
>>29840363Hydro Pump is baws
>>29840343And water gun upgrades to hydro pump, right?
>>29840343>>29840363I see water gun as more for water/nonlethal and bubble more for explosive/physical (plus maybe psionic mines) plus we can leaves these to cover our escape
>>29840363You don't want to confuse people?
>>29840343Writing that update, Prof? Or have you been distracted by SHENANIGANS?
>>29840343Hey, uh, professor, I just had a suggestion.If none of this stuff is secret, why don't you put the 'final form' of some moves in the pastebin? It would clear up a lot of this mindless chatter.Like, list the prerequisites, and what have you.
>>29840247That's it, I now support Psybeam to the fullest extent. Goes through walls, hits people like it's a goddamn flashbang. It can even upgrade to different useful shit.>>29840271I still don't like it; shouldn't psychic energy be more like something you channel through concentration? It makes pseudo-sense by 'containing' it with bubbles, but just infusing it with the ice is something out of fantasy.
>>29840388>>29840383We have to have either mystic water or be in water for that
>>29840407I think you've got it backwards dude. Water Gun training is pure power, whereas the bubble-line is training to create special effects to stun/confuse opponents.
>>29840410We just got Psybeam for that. If you really wanna do water and confuse, shoot them at the same time.
>>29840433POKESCIENCE>>29840439We have like 10 water bladders man.We can store enough.Besides, I imagine Hydro Pump is more about strength of blast, not the amount of water.
>>29840433the flashbang part was more from the combo of stunning with explosive bubblebeamness and the confusion was from the psybeam part.for flashbang effect you need both
>>29840439We can actually hold a lot of charges in our omniguns. Maybe 1 or 2 hydro pumps for each one.
>>29840433Goldie infuses it into spoons.
>>29840447water gun is just getting hit with water, bubble beam is have explosions in your face
>>29840491Speaking of which; maybe when he's an adult, he'll switch his focuses out for actual golden rods.
By the time we unlock Hydro Pump, the bladders will have evolved and have a higher capacity.
You look down to the ground, nearly defeated without much left to say. Lilac's getting punished because of you. But that's not fair. No. You're the one that did wrong. You sniffle, feeling a tear welling within your feline eyes, the quiver of your second eye-lids sends it streaking down the tracks in your fur.“I-it's not fair,” You blubber, your eyes starting to sting from the salt,” I'm the one that got her in trouble, why's she the one getting punished? She should punish me instead. Lilac's not the one that should be in trouble...” You *hic* as you try to keep your words coming out.“I-I'll t-take the blame. J-just don't hurt Lilaaaac.” You sob out, burying your tears in the fur of your arms.The Miko sighs finally, not quite keen on touching you,”I'm afraid that we can't do that Visitor. You are not under Agatha's domain, she cannot punish you for what Medium Lilac has done.”“B-but, I was the one th-that...”“She should have offered the task to another. She knows what she has been forbidden.”With her same solemn look,”I must ask you to leave now visitor. You make the spirits restless.”Defeated, and still crying you finally give up, taking the tram home without seeing your friend. You rub away at your eyes with your fur, only to find a bit more irritation at the sparsely shedding hairs from your fur.During your ministrations, you feel something sharp poke your cheek, “Oww...” You sigh, feeling a spot of blood wet beneath your head. Looking to your arm, you see something sharp and white, slightly translucent, poking through. You hadn't noticed it before. On the way home, you're fascinated by this new development with your body, finding that there's a few other spots that itch a bit as other little bumps can be felt on the outside of your arm.You'll need to get yourself checked out by a professor or something...
>>29840511No.MORE SPOONS.
>>29840498No, no, the other anon is right. This was discussed in the earlier threads. Bubble beam almost got removed.>>29840518>Looking to your arm, you see something sharp and white, slightly translucent, poking through. You hadn't noticed it before. Poke-puberty.
>>29840447Water gun has a power of 40 and Bubble beam has a power of 65. just sayin
>>29840498and yet water gun is more damaging while bubbles cause slowing/flinching. I think you lack an appreciation for water high pressure water can do. We use it for cutting construction material.
>>29840498It's not massive explosive force. It's not going to be blowing chunks out of things, just making them flinch maybe.Even when infused with psychic energy, they're still just flashbangs.
>>29840518oh noooThis'll be painful.
>>29840518>Looking to your arm, you see something sharp and white, slightly translucent, poking through. You hadn't noticed it before.Looks like we're getting Spikey Arms
>>29840518Are we evolving?!
>>29840518>EvoluuuutionHeh, neat.But...which one?Crytten?I thought that one was our longest till it evolves one...
>>29840550>>29840558see>>29840546
>>29840574I don't think we're evolving just yet? Prof said we were close, but not yet there last time. Unless he changed his mind.
>>29840491Now that you say it like that, I imagine it like this.You can use psychic energy to warp materials so that they can be more conductive of it. Therefore, we warp the explosive bubbles in such a way that when they burst, they release a wave of psychic energy as well.And I guess the ice is warped in a way that spoons are; like with how Alexis used a billion spoons in a circle to help her free us from Hypno's mind whammy.There, POKESCIENCE.
>>29840518RON PAUL! RON PAUL!HAPPENING!!!!!!Suck on this, Goldie and Devon. We evolved ranger now too.
>>29840578probably remoraid
>>29840600please don't use a name that starts with "P" you got me excited ;_;
>>29840608Oh yeah. Goldie did evolve rather early. I had almost forgotten that.I guess Sabrina likes to stock up on those rare candies....
>>29840578Well, the cartilage came from Crytten, but it might just be puberty instead of evolution. Or Remoraid is evolving and pushing the cartilage spikes out.
>>29840578Crytten is a wildcard isn't it?Also it might depend on how much we use each graft.
>>29840546water gun is the first in the line of pure damage 'water' moves. Bubblebeam is a TM move, the second tier of bubble, we just get to skip that babby bullshit because gunfish.
>>29840588Water Gun is also at a higher level currently.Spending the points to pump it up to equal levels would be a waste if you want raw power, especially considering that WG unlocks Hydro Pump while BB gets Water Pulse.
You check into your dorm and wash your face, getting the sad out of your eyes. You stare into the mirror, trying to remember what you used to look like, and it's hard. You kind of smile though, when it comes to your hair that you keep part of drawn into a ponytail. A gentle red like your mother's, soft and silky... You wonder where she is now...Gustav must have gone back out today... You sigh, it would've been nice to see him again, even if only for a little longer.It's about time for you to turn in, unless you'd like to visit anyone in the dorms?>[] See Devon, you need to talk to him.>[] See Sanna, even if she's a bit odd, she means well.. Right?>[] Bruise, you should talk to him about Lilac.>[] Goldie. You should say you're sorry.>[] Alexis. She was a big help.>[] You're not really in the mood, go to bed.
>>29840633It is done.
>>29840651>[] See Devon, you need to talk to him.Let's go have a little chat with him. And to personally thank him for helping us.
>>29840651Listen to the rest of the message our mom left for us first.Or we could leave that to just before we go to sleep.>[] See Devon, you need to talk to him.
>>29840647i would say right now water gun has made up for the strength difference. but i say we should get both because Water gun is a precision attack and Bubble beam is an AOE attack that stuns and can confuse.
>>29840656I think you need a "!" in there.
>>29840651Why are we struggling to remember what she looks like?We got that holomessage from the bear man didn't we?I think now would be a good time to watch it.
>>29840651>[] Goldie. You should apologize.>[] Devon. We have to talk.
>>29840651have we given devon the huge THANK YOU we have been filing away yet?
>>29840651Question, Prof. Why would we say sorry to Goldie? What would we even apologize for?
>>29840651>other, Go see a Professor right now!!!!!
>>29840651>[] See Devon, you need to talk to himMake sure he doesn't I'M MY OWN MASTER NOW
>>29840702It was audio only.>>29840710Getting him arrested.Being a shit leader.
>>29840710Getting him arrested?
>>29840651>[X] See Devon, you need to talk to him.
>>29840651>>[x] You're not really in the mood, go to bed.
>>29840651>>[] See Devon, you need to talk to him.
>>29840702>trying to remember what YOU used to look like
>>29840736>>29840737Oh, well, that seems like a silly thing to go apologize to him for now when it seems like he doesn't think anything of it. Maybe when we go meet up with him in the morning for practice.
>>29840651[x] See Devon, you need to talk to him.Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam
>>29840779You're still off for a few days.
>>29840736Does fighting while undergoing evolution incur any penalties? Or does it not matter until it's in full PAAAIIIIIIIIIN swing?
>>29840736Prof, DID we listen to the rest of mom's message? Did it happen off-screen? What secrets of ladyhood did Cerulean learn?>>29840800Oh yeah, I forgot that we had been given some time off to consider Giovanni's offer of a mission outside the dome.
>>29840651>See Goldie and say sorryWait...shit...what did I forget?WHAT DID I FORGET?WHAT DID WE DOOOO
>>29840651>>[] See Devon, you need to talk to him.>>[] Goldie. You should say you're sorry.need to get these two done first
>>29840699Yes, Professor. I think I added too many.Do you smell fire?
>>29840800So we're officially on break, but we just spent the past couple days doing an incredibly hard job, and now we might actually evolve during our time off. Cerulean just doesn't get a break.
>>29840823see>>29840736>>29840822We are soooooo saying yes to that
>>29840823Here>>29840736I don't even think he minded it that much at all.
>>29840833Hold on wait they disappeared.
I don't think it was Crytten evolving.I think it was the fish.It's not actually the cartilage changing, the arms are swelling and pushing the cartilage above it through the skin.
>A gentle red like your mother's, soft and silky... You wonder where she is now...>We're going through poke-puberty.Didn't our mother have something to say about that?
Why do you guys want to see Devon? He is an ass. And Ceru is not really up for his bullshit after the day she just had. >>29840651 >[x] You're not really in the mood, go to bed.
>>29840863Fuck it, you can't put !s in the name field.
>>29840882We need to hug it out so the bad blood doesn't spoil overnight. Get that shit cleaned up pronto.
>>29840651>[x] You're not really in the mood, go to bed.
>>29840736>Getting him arrestedTo be fair, that was half his fault, and half Sanna's fault.But I guess Ceru wouldn't say that.>Being a shit leaderHey, we did damn good compared to the specs of the mission, fuck that!We basically took a college level test and got a D when we're in grade school. That we passed it should be a remarkable achievement.
>>29840867Er, it's the cartilage. It cut us.>>29840882That's one way of it. The other is that Cerulean can see past that and try to make up with him.
Can we learn Aqua tail?
>Seeing Devon.A-Alright Cerulean.
>>29840910>>29840935Wow. Just wow. Have you ignored everything Devon has said this entire mission? What he is going to do is insult us some more.
>>29840651>DevonIs an ass in turboass mode because he didn't get enough praise / Ceru said anything bad about him / Ceru got more praise than he thought she deserved.>SannaBarf perfume>BruiseIs awkward as fuck>GoldieI don't even know, man. Alexis will be all up in our shit and I don't want no drama about that right now.>AlexisWhat do we even have to really talk about? We said she did fantastic in front of the boss. Going and saying it again seems weird.>[x] You're not really in the mood, go to bed.Only option.
>>29840980and we need to work it out or it will get worse. you do not ignore problems like this.
>Try to hug Devon.>Shed on him>Accidentally poke him with new arm spikes>He gets even more pissed off>FIGHT!!
>>29841026then we stomp his shit
>>29841026Spikes are on the outside of our forearms, they won't get in the way of hugging.
>>29840651Going to put in a vote to, regardless of who we visit, at least make an appointment with a Professor before going to bed, can't get that stuff looked at too soon
>>29841005The problem is that he is Evil. His very NATURE is to be an ass. Theres no fixing that. Devon's and Ceru's outlooks are inimical to each other.
I really don't get why we're seeing Devon. Just gonna be insults and yelling and maybe even a fight. and that won't smooth over jack.we should just be back at the dorm moping and trying to sleep off the growing pains.I just don't get it.
>>29841048but we can curb them, keep him from challenging our authority outright.
>>29841048Devon knows the influence his implant is having on his mind, and he does try to look past it. That we want to help mitigate it isn't a problem.
>>29841048actually, I just want to get one solid THANK YOU DEVON in there.Then we retreat under cover of insult and bile.
>>29841063>MUH STEAMHUGS>MUH THREAD TITLEI just wanted to go back to the dorm too, anon
>>29841076The only way I can see that happening is if we beat him black and blue. After the day we just had? Nope, sorry.
>>29841063It is a problem that needs to be dealt with before it gets worse.
>>29841048>>29841063but...but he is a bad boy and we can change him!
>>29841103It is completely possible. we are ice. he is fire.
>>29841063Have you actually tried reading any explanations before posting your bit?It's not that Devon is at all ignorant of the effect that his implant has on his mind. Right now, there are two directions his character development can go in. Either he attempts to struggle with it and try to differentiate his 'self' from his 'implant' or he succumbs to it completely and erases whatever distinction there was between his own personality and the implant's influence.
>>29841133not change, just keep him from killing himself. because you know if e attacks us we ain't letting him leave in one piece.
Getting into a fight is a no-win situation.Either >he uses his flames and permaburns us.or >he doesn't use the flames and he thinks that we only won because he held back, making him even more of an indignant ass.
>>29841176We're not fighting Devon. That's stupid.
Seriously, this is a bad idea. We've already given him something to think about when we told Boss about his problems and then confessed our own failingsThen got praised for it.Confronting him right after that is just going to get him defensiveHe is going to see it as us attacking him. Going after a weakness.
>>29841160I was making a funny with a cliche reason for a bad relationship.Jokerbeatingharleyscreamingaboutexplainingjokes.gif
>>29841202All I want to do is give him a thank you and run.Almost literally. That scene in my head of "thankyouverymuchforsavingmedevon,Imeanit,you'rethebest" and then sprinting away makes me chuckle.
>>29841221I can dig it.He'd probably chase us for a bit tho
>>29841221Disagree. We need to have a proper talk with him. If he's hostile, we need to assert that we're no push over ourselves.It's all just posturing anyway. He wouldn't dare attack.
>>29841107I don't see hugging working, really I think the only way to bring him back in line is beating him in a spar/duel.>>298411341, fire beats ice, our water typing is another matter2, evolution growing pains just going to make it more difficult.>>29841143if you don't have a means of dealing with a problem, understanding the cause of it doesn't really help.>>29841194and then we'll be cowards even more unworthy of leading him.I'm all for curbing his bad behavior, I just don't think this was the right time is all
>>29841240And not talking to him is worst.We have 1/2 resistance to water due to our water typing (1/2) and blubber (1/2). The ice weakness is cancelled out.
>>29841240>and then we'll be cowards even more unworthy of leading him.No, we'll be following the god damn rules. No fights in the Dome, I'm pretty sure. If he wants to issue a formal challenge, we can do that I guess, but it won't change anything. Devon's older and more evolved then us, and even if we do beat him he'll just blame it on not being allowed to use fire.It is, as an anon above said, a no win situation
>>29841240>I'm all for curbing his bad behavior, I just don't think this was the right time is allIt's the best time. With his temperament, he'll stew on it and his frustration will grow worst.He needs someone else to help him calm down because he can't do it himself.
>>29841297we aren't the person to calm him down though. We're literally his enemy in his mind. He is vying for top dog... and we are his competition.
Y'know, we should have gone to Sanna if we wanted to deal with Devon.Remember how she was all "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH!!!!" when S and Goldie started bickering?She could probably tell us about him.
>>29841317Then we make Cerulean his goal.
>>29841293The Permaburns can be healed using Recover, Prof has stated this.
>>29841351>Sanna is a gossipHuh.You're probably right.
>>29841317That's why....we're going to talk to him....? To work things out? Is that a foreign concept to you? Or are you too entrenched in your idea that Devon is impossible to reason with?
>>29841355what about when he thinks he has reached his goal and he decides to kill us?
>>29841359That doesn't give him license to use em.>>29841355Screw that, I don't want a Devon ship here.
>>29841359We don't get Recover and even if it was possible for us to get, it's not available for purchase now, and even if it was available for purchase now we have no XP.
>>29841371There is no 'working things out'There is showing him his place, or backing down.
>>29841317He DOES have a human side you know.>>29841388Recover can be used by others on us. Sabrina did it to Alexis.
>>29841407That was Heal Pulse
>>29841407His human side doesn't matter. Maybe if we weren't so against everything his Evil Side stands for we'd have a chance. But we're too nice, too ambitious, and too competent to not trigger every instinct he has.
>>29841402He isn't a fucking animal, just part animal. jesus fucking christ your treating him like he can never be reasoned with ever. He is still capable of reasoning and knows that his dark side is swaying him.>>29841425either way he said there is a way to get the flame burns healed, they just don't heal on their own.
>>29841402>>29841465Yeah, agreeing with this guy. You're really off the mark.
You put on something clean and push out of your dorm, walking down the hall with a feeling of dread lingering in your heart. You're kind of scared that he'll say something bad, or be mean or.. or something.Halfway down the hall you let out a deep sigh and stop walking, leaning back against the wall. Boss would probably say the wall doesn't need any support. You droop down onto the floor, cradling yourself in your arms as he lean your head against your shoulder.Boss thought you did well... But... It's your fault that Chuck died. Then it's your fault that Lilac's in trouble. You could've hurt Devon on the mission because you went too far alone.You drive your palms into your face, you guns tightly closed, as you start crying again, hoping that no one can hear.You shake your head. No. You can't let them... You can't let Devon see you like this. He'll make fun of you or call you a big fat crybaby. You can't deal with that right now. Oh Reverse, you can't do it.You get up, dragging your claws against the wall to pull yourself up, running back to your room and slamming the door, catching your breath between sobs.“Oh,” You hear from behind you, causing you to jump, your tail reflexively freezing over into icy spikes. Wait, that voice...“My dear friend, what's wrong?” You know that voice, the air.. it smells like lavender.You turn, into your room from facing the door, seeing a figure reclined upon you bed in traditional robes that you've only really seen worn at the spire. Her fingers trace over the definition of a scabbard, her yellow eyes glimmering in the dark as her pale purple hair catches in the moonlight.She outstretches a hand to you,”Ceru, tell me what's wrong. We're friends right?” She brings the other hand out to welcome you into a hug.
>>29841402>>29841449And here we see>>29841407>>29841465>>29841496THE DIVIDEHonestly, I'll have to agree with the "Devon is human" side here. We're all still children and early in on developing our personalities. Devon may one day become a complete monster himself....or he may not. Right now is what's important. What happens in our formative years will develop his character.
>>29841465He has given no evidence of that. None whatsoever. Every conversation we've had with him has had him insult us and challenge us.
With another sniffle, you pounce into the arms of your friend, burying your face in her fragrant bosom. “Lilac... Lilac.. I'm sorry...” You sob and cry freely as she pats the back of your head, leaning back just enough to avoid being caught by your horn.>[] "Wait... Why- Why are you here?!”>[] "What happened? Are you okay?">[] (Other)
>>29841534> "What happened? Are you okay?"Concern first. Curiosity later.Although she's probably using a ghost power, yeah.
>[X] "What happened? Are you okay?"
>>29841385But Devon earned the right to Ceru's virginity when he successfully saved her from the village with the odds ridiculously stacked against him.It is the one true pairing.>>29841534>[] "What happened? Are you okay?"
>>29841534>"What happened? Are you okay?""Are... are you a ghost?"
>>29841534>>[X] "What happened? Are you okay?"
>>29841529Prof has said that he has his own little quirk and that he is still a nerd at heart. but we have had very little non-professional interaction with him.
>>29841534I uh.Oh shit.I hope she didn't run away or...crap.>2
>>29841534>[] What happened? Are you okay?
>>29841534>[x] "What happened? Are you okay?"She's astral projecting or spirit walking or some shit, isn't she.
>>29841534>>[] "What happened? Are you okay?"
>>29841534[X] "What happened? Are you okay?""I heard that you were in trouble with Agatha because of something I did. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry Lilac."
>>29841562>But Devon earned the right to Ceru's virginity when he successfully saved her from the village with the odds ridiculously stacked against him.I'm gonna keep my sanity and assume you're kidding and laugh along, niggah.Please be joking.
>>29841529We had two threads where we were in his head, man. Where were you?He's a kid looking for glory and respect. Spiteful, but not horribly so, and violent when given an acceptable target to vent his anger on. He has his own sense of responsibility too.
>>29841534>>[x] "What happened? Are you okay?"
>>29841562After leading her into that hellhole. I think not.
>>29841591she has a sword, i don't think she carries a sword around with her at alltimes
>>29841534>[] "What happened? Are you okay?"
>>29841623It's a ghost sword pokemon. Honedge or something.
oh shit, did we just get our friend excommunicated?
>>29841620We were probably going to jump into that place anyways.>>29841600m8 pls
>>29841642What.....what made you think that, man.....
>>29841639>allowing a monster inside the domefilthy traitor
>>29841534>[] "Wait... Why- Why are you here?!”oh god you didn't get kicked out did you?Or run away?
>>29841642She's better off with Boss anyway.
>>29841639obviously. The point being that she probably only has it because she actually left the spire. Why would she project with it or something.
>>29841659Have you not been paying attention at all? There's tons of ghost pokes in the tower.
>>29841694i'd say most of them get eaten.
>>29841694don't forget all the pet eevees
>>29841703No, most of them just sit around and do what the mediums tell them,
>>29841703What was the pokemon Lilac ate again? I know it was the one that carries around a mask.
>>29841663>You may never step foot in the Grave Spire again.>But you are free to do any other activity in the dome - including becoming a Ranger.This HAS to be what Prof's going for. I saw this trick in GGG Final.
>>29841723I think it was a Haunter dude.Pretty bad ghost
>>29841723yamask
>>29841723Yamask. Also known as "what happens to people when they die"
>>29841723it was a yamask
>>29841659Ghosts are very different here. Closer tto spirits and apparitions than actual biological monsters. They are just as dangerous however and must be contained through other methods.
>>29841739if that was a haunter then we'd be dead
>>29841777Not necessarily. Devon's poisonous smog is apparently lethal to ordinary humans. Rangers are apparently made of tougher stuff.
>>29841792You haven't read its pokedex have you?
>>29841792Not all poisons are equal.
>>29841776Oh hey, Prof, I finally understood what you meant by Sabrina's social cues from last thread. I thought you were referencing our earlier meeting with her in the thread.>>29841846I did. And do you recall Prof's stance on pokedex entries?
>>29841860Their true except when it's Magcargo.
>>29841860What, that she knows Bruise is a filthy hybrid because Break-It Bruno has exotic tastes?
>>29841916DRAMATIC PLOT TWIST!
>>29841916>Implying Bruno isn't Professor's self insert>Implying Professor doesn't work out all the time, and gets huge boners for muscle girls>What's more muscle girl then a Machoke girl
>>29841916Maybe getting embarrassed thanks to that hybrid brought what little emotion she had out of her.
>>29841933Machamp girl?
>>298419591000 SPM (Strokes per minute)

You look up into the enchanting yellow eyes of your friend, the gentle flutter of her eyes traced by her dark eyelashes. You grip her a bit tightly to make sure that she's real once you've come out of your initial joy.“L-lilac You're... You're really here.” You pull yourself away. Gripping at your shoulders with apprehension as your heart thumps away and your brain beginning to form its own ideas of what transpired.Lilac's exceedingly calm, more-so than usual. Or rather, she's happy? “Yes, I'm really here...” She adjusts her grip upon her sword, pulling it close and against her breast like some kind of stuffed animal.“I... Ran away.” She whispers with a smile, such a thing that might be considered a terrible secret, or an obvious truth.No. Nono. That's not what you wanted to hear her say. You grip at yourself tighter, feeling your claws press sharply through your fur,”Lilac, you ran? How.. How could... why...”Lilac's gentle expression seems to belie some kind of abandonment, a detachment from her situation as her fingers trace across the edge of the scabbard, her claw-like fingernails scraping the wood ever so gently. “I couldn't stay there any more... Agatha found out what I did. She said that I wouldn't be able to see you anymore. She was mad.” Upon her reflection she looks like a guilty child, knowing that she's done wrong yet still feels it's unfair.“Lilac..” You start to shake your head. This is against the rules... If Agatha catches her...“But,”Lilac smiles, that detached look returning,”I've got an idea. But... But you need to promise to keep it a secret Ceru, because you- you're my only living friend.” Her eyes plead you now.Your gut twists with flutterbies flitting about. Something tells you that this is just going to be worse...>[] I can keep your secret Lilac... Tell me.>[] No, Lilac. You need to go back. I'm sorry>[] (Other)

The Rockets are well respected, but Agatha is one of the Elite Four. Her word, I think, means a lot more.

>>29842320The alternative was being forbidden contact with us. And probably all people, in case we had any funny ideas of sending Bruise to act as an intermediary.This is a reasonable response from a child who's been burdened with responsibilities and expectations all her life. Who's been kept in the Spire all her life.Either we choose to abandon Lilac to her fate and close off that link to her, or we grab hold of it and try to find a solution.

You buckle under her gaze and shudder out a deep sigh, taking one of her hands into yours,”I'll keep it a secret Lilac... It's what friends are for, right?” She sets her sword down upon her lap, clasping her other hand over years. You feel the coolness of her wispy fingers against your own. She doesn't feel warm.She nods slowly, that pleading look in her eyes remaining,”I want to leave the dome. If I can... If I can get to Johto, the leader there can train me, and I'll be free from Agatha... If.”Your eyes go wide and you squeeze her hand within your own, pulling them to you,”You can't leave the dome alone. It's dangerous Lilac.”At that, Lilac looks hurt, her smile quivering to stay as it is, her eyes wavering with their own water,”I can't stay here Ceru. I can't stay in that place.” She slowly shakes her head, her hands trembling within yours as a tear runs itself down her face, dropping onto the scabbard of her blade.“I can fight. I don't care how far it is. I'd rather see the reverse than stay here.”Lilac's posturing finally breaks as more tears run down her face, turning into long heaving sobs that pitter patter against the scabbard. The wrap around the blade slowly rises up, a sash of blue cloth wiping away at her face.She touches it with her left hand, calming slightly, though her eyes are stained with the sadness of tears.”Thank you,” She whispers to the unseen entity.>[] “You... Took that too? Isn't that one of the weapons of the Spire?”>[] ”Lilac... We'll figure something out. You can sleep here tonight.”>[] “You need to go back before you get both of us in trouble.>[] (Other)
>>29842551>[] “You... Took that too? Isn't that one of the weapons of the Spire?”>[] ”Lilac... We'll figure something out. You can sleep here tonight.”maybe we can talk to giovanni about this. This might be exactly the chance he was waiting on.

>>29842551>[] “You... Took that too? Isn't that one of the weapons of the Spire?”>[] ”Lilac... We'll figure something out. You can sleep here tonight.”
>>29842551Tell her that we told Giovanni about her aid in the case and that he's interested in talking to Agatha about letting Lilac become a ranger. This should be some reassurance for her.Let Lilac sleep here for tonight.
>>29842551>”Lilac... We'll figure something out. You can sleep here tonight.”Though we should point out that when Agatha finds out that Lilac is gone, she's going to look for us first.>>29842573It's a secret, so no going behind Giovanni's back.
>>29842551>[x] “You... Took that too? Isn't that one of the weapons of the Spire?”>[x] ”Lilac... We'll figure something out. You can sleep here tonight.”We are going to be the first person they investigate/interrogate when they start looking for her.....
>>29842592we'll tell her to bring it to giovanni. It's got a WAY higher chance of working that making it all the way to another dome.

>>29842589yeah, hopefully big papa giovanni can smooth aaaall this out.
>>29842551>>29842589ALSO, ask Lilac about the ghost sword she took. Won't Agatha have noticed its disappearance? Or are there too many ghosts in the tower for her to notice its absence?
>>29842551Tell her how dangerous it is outside the dome.Like if she wants to go to Johto, she'll need to sneak her way onto some kind of caravan or something.
>We don't have a second bed>Lilac is really touchy feely>It's going to be us, her, and ghostsword sharing the same mattress.

>>29842551"I'm pretty sure you can hang around the Dome for a while. Did you know that a monster-human hybrid has been here for a long time now committing crimes, and we only just caught him?"
>>29842589What if Giovanni already talked to Agatha about making her a ranger and was denied?Also, aren't we doing all of this in front of Devon's bedroom door? He's going to blackmail the shit out of us.
>>29842767That guys fuuuuucked.
>>29842808we went back to our room. that's were Lilac was.
>>29842808nope, we ran back into our room.
How do people keep sneaking into the rocket dorms? I thought they were supposed to be ELITE.
>>29842920Lilac's got freaky ghost powers.
Honestly, looking at our own attitude towards Giovanni, I can see why Kitten likes him so much. He's affable and he's powerful. He's like your rich dad who pays attention to you and knows when to indulge you and when to be stricter (for your own good).Deeper into the cult we sink.
>>29842920Look at it this way. It proves how a Medium Ranger can just saunter into the Rocket dorms.
>>29842974I bet he bakes a mean loaf of bread.
>>29842974Oh yeah, he's a total cult leader. But as far as cults go, it's a good one. It provides structure for a Rocket's life, without structure most people would fall apart doing what Rockets have to do.He is willing to sacrifice your life for a higher cause, but he honestly wants you to be the best you could possibly be, and actively fosters talent.
Biting your lip, you consider what you could say to calm her trembling soul, and then you remember what boss had said. “Lilac, I told boss about you. He's well, he's interested in talking to Agatha about making you a ranger...”Lilac stares at you as though you've got something on your face, yet it transforms entirely into a woeful smile,”Oh, so...” She seems a little conflicted now, unsure of what to say. She pets the sword, and your eyes follow her hand, releasing her other as it kind of goes limp.“You took it from there, right?” You ask, and she nods silently.“Is it a friend?” She nods again, her lips still kind of twitching, unsure of whether to laugh or cry.“I asked him if he wanted to come along to Johto. He agreed. He's been feeling a bit blue lately, and was the only one interested in going against Agatha. He helped me escape. “ Her hand stops its gentle petting of the scabbard, content with resting upon it for now.“Lilac, you can sleep here tonight, it's okay. We can figure out everything tomorrow.”Lilac gives you a little “Okay.” and you change into some night-clothes. Airier than usual to give comfort to your unusual physiology.Lilac begins to settle upon the floor, knees pressed against the carpet, sheathed sword resting upon her knees, and posture straight.It takes some convincing for her to just get in bed with you, though she brings the sword along, unwilling to part from it. With the smallness of your bed, you cuddle against each other. Lilac buries herself in your soft fur and red hair, you bury yourself in her pale body and flowery incense. The fragrance of the tower is strange to smell in your bed, yet seeing your friend here, with you, at least, even for one night is all that you would’ve asked for to end this horrible day.

You pull some of your covers over her, giving her an extra bit of warmth against your naturally refrigerated body.Wrapped up in each other's embrace, the two of you drift off into a tear-stained sleep, pushing back your fears of what tomorrow may hold.======================================Morning comes with the rush of light into your eye-lids. Lilac draped over you in her traditional kimono, steady breathing belying a steady amount of drool soaking into your fur and hair.You shudder out of the sleeping teen's embrace, sliding yourself out to brush your hair, pull back everything but your bangs into a ponytail and smooth out your fur.In the middle the process, you feel your forearm lock up a bit, feeling the internal chamber shift and groan painfully. You hiss out your breath as the pain persists for at least a minute before it finally comes to a halt.You'll need to make an appointment with a professor soon.Lilac's yet to rouse though...>[] Go directly to boss and inform him of the situation.>[] Pick up some breakfast for Lilac from the Cafe.>[] Check a terminal and see what you can buy from Silph Catalog.>[] (Other)

>>29843399Why not?We can't throw her under the bus immediately.
>>29843353Er, not just the Remoraid implants. The spikes on our arms are also coming out.

>>29843311No talking to Giovanni before Lilac is ready.shopping is fine too I guessand I'm expecting something horrible will happen if we leave without Lilac to go get breakfast
>>29843311>>[] Go directly to boss and inform him of the situation.
>>29843387Oh, okay, yeah. That makes sense.Even if we're not going to lie about Lilac's presence to the boss, it may be best that she remain incognito for now until we can explain the situation to the boss and, if needed, present a case for Lilac.
>>29843387Yeah, i'm going to have to go with that.

>>29843533Sanna pls
>>29843533Nothing, neat sword though.
>>29843589I could understand disguising Lilac up before bringing her to see the boss
>>29843606Granted that she acts like a hex maniac, she dresses like a medium/miko. Extremely traditional.
>>29843623Can't we just give her something from Ceru's closet and go? Well, this assumes that Giovanni's office isn't that far and the route doesn't intersect with populated areas like the canteen or training gyms.
>>29843623I know, you've said so many times, but ever since her first appearance when someone posted a hex maniac, I can't unsee it. Besides, she'll be wearing Rocket blacks before long.
>>29843662I really don't think it's going to end that way, anon.Not anymore.Not anymore...
>>29843656Contacts and wigs, I think.
>>29843311Could Lilac wear anything of Cerulean's? Or are their sizes too different?
Froslass pleasu
>>29843685Lilac is like 16, and taller than Cerulean. Nothing in Ceru's closet would really fit.
>>29843680>>29843623Fine then, how prompt is Siplh co. with express deliveries? Are we talking "as soon as a tram arrives" fast?
>>29843700we really are her chilly little plushy
>>29843702maybe they got an item teleporter? or we can order online and just pick it up at the nearest store
>>29843673If we rat her out right away it definitely won't.This requires cunning.
>>29843731Maybe Sanna or Kitty would have something?
>>29843727The longer she stays in Ceru's room without Giovanni knowing, the more likely Agatha will get there, especially with magic poke-sensing powers. I mean, stealth is great, but when you compete with espers and ghosts, I'll have to lean on speed.
>>29843761>First mission: Stop the Espers from breaking into the dome and mineraping everyone>Second mission: Help ghost friend escape Ghost member of the ELITE FOURMan, Ceru just can't catch a break
>>29843746Actually, Sanna should have some perfume to get rid of Lilac's grave-smell.Calling Prof for good writein: >>29843623
>>29843746If you tried to compare Lilac and Kitty in the bust, you'd get a divideByZero error. Sanna might work, but then we might have to come up with an excuse for why or end up leaking information that is best kept as downlow as possible.
>Silph Catalog looked over.>http://pastebin.com/k87j8pt8>There's a disguise package, as odd as it may seem among the boutique section... They come in handmade, Cheap, Decent, and Premium...The handmade is pretty much a straw wig with a mustache made out of the same and a little cane... You can't think of anyone that would actually take such a disguise seriously.The Cheap one is an ugly rubber mask and a half-decent wig. These aren't actual silph products though.The Decent and Premium are where it's at. The key difference between the two is that the Decent disguise comes with a wig of real hair, a makeup kit, and some adequate clothing. The Premium comes with a breathable skin-mask, a wig, contacts, and a presentable black uniform.> Handmade Straw kit. 100 SC> Media Monster skin mask and dirty wig... 250 SC> Media-maker's magic kit. 5000 SC> Master of Disguise Kit. 20,000 SC>>29843702Within the hour.
>>29843806> Media-maker's magic kit. 5000 SCI think we'll manage with this. If Agatha gets her the disguise won't hold up anyways, this is just to avoid casual attention for the time being.

I'm not really liking anything from the silph catalog except where it says "Monster Imports"
Catching on...
>>29843861media makers doesn't come with the contacta
>>29843873I love you Professor
>Monster ImportsWe're going to need to get some big money if they have a snorunt like I think they do
>>29843806Master of Disguise KitAs for cloths i'm looking through the pastebin
>>29843927Yes.And a Dawnstone
Weren't we just gonna take her to see Boss? What the hell are we messing around with disguises for? This isn't a sitcom.We're wasting all of our whoring money on disguises.
>>29843806>>29843927Would Bergmite be cheaper/less rare than snorunt?
>>29843973I have no idea.The people from the tower are going to be able to sense her. This is fucking silly.
>>29843974thats in pokefrance, pokejapan is a lot closer to us than pokefrance
>>29843974bergmite won''t make us into a medium.
>>29843973that's why I only wanted a cheapie disguise.I wouldn't mind 5k dropped just so cerulean can play dress up every now and again.
Yo we're on page 10.I smell a part 2
>>29843974The entire point of getting a Snorunt is to unlock spooky.Bergmite doesn't do that
>>29843988They're not quite like the Espers when it comes to detection. None of the Mediums are allowed to leave the tower, by Agatha.
>>29843988Yeah, I don't get it either. A disguise feels pointless when she likely has an aura of ghost or some crap
>>29843806>Media-maker's magic kitI can't see using the Premium disguise kit much, especially when going outside of the dome. We just want to keep her from getting noticed.
>>29844007>>29843991so you guys want to dump seel and remoraid?pretty sure the 2-type limit is still in effect.also, bergmite can get Own Tempo, which translates to increased mental discipline.
>>29844030Ghost isn't a type in this. It is a state of being, and mediumhood is just a capability.
>>29844030newfriend plsghost doesn't count towards typing limit, by word of the Prof
>>29844030Medium powers doesn't count towards that.We've been over this a million times.Don't try to do type discussions if you don't understand how it works.
>>29844030>Dump our evolving implantsNiggah u funny
>>29844030Ghost doesn't count against the two-type limit, it's not really a bodily modification, but one of the soul. No problems with grafts.
>>29844016Seriously? That means this is a LOT less urgent then, you should have mentioned this sooner. Change of clothes and smell will make her almost invisible then.SERIOUSLY DONT FORGET THE SMELL
Really, it's just occurred to me that what... like 2 of our friends know what she looks like. Everyone else isn't gonna know her from Eve. We could just slap a spare dress on her and call it a day if we absolutely must disguise her.>>29844030Did you miss like the first dozen threads or something? Ghost works in such a way that it doesn't count as a Type. It's part of why people are so keen on it. I expect we'll see some push for adding in Normal if we run across anything cool.
>>29844030no, there is no way we are getting a bergemiteplease leave we are not have this shitstrom again
>>29844049this is mostly so people don't report back to the tower with WE SAW THE GIRL MATCHING YOUR DESCRIPTION HERE! IN ROCKET DORMS!Stupid lousy helpful citizens and soldiers.
>>29844016That just means the disguise is a complete waste.Can we please not waste time and credits on this?
>>29844051Yes, i suspect he did.
>>29844030Dude just stop.
>>29844049So does that warrant a trip to Sanna's Room? And would we be able to get the perfume without coming off as suspicious?
>>29844016There's a reason I suggested we get the 5k one, we don't need the master of disguise kit, though colored contacts are still a good idea, her eyes are pretty distinct.
>>29844051>>29844046>>29844045>>29844044>>29844042>>29844039alright, alright, I guess I forgot. I'm just worried about how much snorunt and a dawn stone will cost.
>>29844091"Sanna. I need you to make this woman stop smelling like Lilacs. It's important Rocket business."
>>29844042>>29844030Where should I put this so that it no longer needs said?>>29844070Pretty much. Lilac's yellow eyes are unusual and her pale, almost sickly appearance shows that she's just about never seen the light of day.Layer up the disguise though and she should be good.
>>29844097Well stones aren't for sale so far, soWe'll probably need to get extremely lucky, twice, to get Snowrunts evolution. Once to find a snowrunt, and once to find a Dawnstone in the wild.
>>29843973Something to prevent people from saying "I saw a yellow eyed girl in a miko outfit around here" is good.We don't need the most expensive disguise kit, we need contacts, new clothes, and preferably a wig.
>>29844105Only place I can think of is lore bin.That's basic facts about the universe right?
>>29844107i think we may be able to buy one or get it gifted from the Boss. either way itll set us back quite a bit
>>29844123Ah, duh. Right.
>>29844105>Where should I put this so that it no longer needs said?Put it in the OP copypasta somewhere. Or make a FAQ pastebin.
>>29844105Either Lore, or the Silph Catalog if you're placing buyable monster grafts there.
>>29844116Even a wig isn't completely necessary (though probably worth it, though I would go with dye if this was going to be a long term thing) since just styling long hair can make someone look totally different.
>>29844105>implying anons wouldn't ignore it anyway>>29844091"Hey Sanna! I was thinking about getting a friend of mine back from my home sector a gift and well, her job comes with a distinctive...odor. Got anything with a nice fresh aroma? Do you know her? oh no I doubt it. She's not a ranger and she hardly ever gets out."
OP, page 10.
>>298441659th from the bottom
>>29844204Yeah, this is going to be another close one.
You look over the Silph Catalog in your morning time, watching over Lilac as you try to figure something out.Boss's said before that to an extent, the Rockets are above the law due to their privileges as special rangers... But sometimes.. that also means not getting caught when you do something bad.You order the Master of Disguise kit, seeing your SC get reduced to 80,000 and the flash across the screen thanking you for loyal service to Silph, Kanto City, and humanity. You close the page after double checking that you ordered even remotely the correct size.Yeah, that should work.You take a whiff of the air again, noticing just how pungent Lilac's Lavender smell is. It permeates her clothing like crazy. If anything you've learned from the investigation... Scents can make you craaaazy easy to track.You stroll down the hall and rap your knuckles on Sanna's door. “Who'sit?!” You share a kind of rough exchange with her, using a little subversion to get her to relinquish a bottle, stating that it's for a friend with a fishy job back in Cerulean Quarter, you procure something at least that should cover up the smell of lilacs. Blushing Orchid? Well, it smells nice as a perfume anyway.. in small doses.Lilac gleefully puts on the substance and you await another hour or so before you check the drop-off box at the dorms, setting Lilac up in the Master of Disguise kit even as she clutches the sword through the changes.The mask gives her a much darker complexion, the wig is blonde, the contacts blue(and the hardest part to get her to wear) and the dark clothes look a bit charming, giving her a whole new look.Yeah, you'll be able to get away with this for a while at least. You hope...>End Thread>Announcing next thread Friday.
>>29844230http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/29836414/Archived, Prof. We didn't actually make all that much progress, but all things considered, this was actually an enjoyable thread.Questioned; would we have been interrupted by Lilac's arrival no matter who we picked to visit?
>>29844243Ceru didn't have the lady-balls to visit devon right now. The others may have been alright. Lilac would've been waiting regardless in all her spooky.This thread was more of a setup for the next part of the story. a mid-arc between the last mission and the expedition.Because once you go on the expedition, you won't be back for a while.
>>29844230>scooby-too tier disguises and plansCerulean is best crisis manager.
>>29844230Well, you weren't kidding when you said our actions had unintentional consequences.All I can hope is Giovanni understands why this is important, because if he wants her to go back, then she's going back whether we want it or not.We can't let her ACTUALLY travel to Johto. That's just insane. No way at all that's gonna work
>>29844230>Announcing next thread FridayGoddamn, I keep thinking that means the next thread's on Friday, and then I remember it isn't and I get depressed.Fun stuff, OP.
>>29844260When is the expedition? Will we have been able to train the skills we purchased earlier on?Oh, and it's nice to know that doing illegal things is 'fine' for a Rocket (depending on the context, I guess). I guess we're trusted enough to do what's needed for the dome.
>>29844260Did we ever actually say yes to the Expedition, by the way?I sorta want to turn it down just to go off and kill some Weedle for a while.We ain't good enough to work with adult rangers, man.Also>dem evolution sightingsDoes that mean it's a matter of time now, or we need more XP?
>>29844270>We can't let her ACTUALLY travel to Johto. That's just insane. No way at all that's gonna workRemember what Lilac said here though... She'd rather do that than go back.Is she 100% serious?Or is she just the child threatening to run away from home?>>29844286Not yet.>>29844282About a month, though delays could push it back. yo'ull have time for training.
>>29844286Gotta see a professor first, maybe consult mom's message for advice on poke-puberty.I still want to know if we can check out the Viridian Forest to get our Bident back.
>>29844300don't forget the char sheet, prof.and the grafting rules.
>>29844306I think we can get issued a new one.
>>29844306Ceru already has rank 3 in CQC. Unless that stacks with a long weapon, it might be too late.
>>29844300>>29844306AH YES. ALMOST FORGOT.What secrets did we learn from mom about ascending the steps to ladyhood? We need to know, Prof. Mom wouldn't send us any frivolous advice.
>>29844328Nope.>>29844306Thinking of removing Polearm training. She hasn't used one in over a year.
>>29844300>Just a kid threatening to run away from homeShe's also a super powered kid...a super powered teenager...aw shit man.Anyway, I don't really see how we can convince her. I hope Giovanni is gonna help us out.
>>29844332Yer funny... You'll get to Lorelei's message next thread if you take time to look at it.
>>29844300I don't think that Lilac would bluff about this.She's has the right mix of crazy, strength, and wanderlust that she would actually do it. And we'll be stupid enough to follow after her.So if Boss wants to make use of a Medium Ranger and keep us he'll have to deal with Agatha and get Lilac on the expedition with us.
>>29844335Well, we were thinking of using a polearm back when we didn't have claws that in all likelyhood, do more damage, right?I assume Amber claws do more damage then a Bident ever could
>>29844335It makes sense since it's not really a part of our training regiment anymore.
>>29844335>Thinking of removing Polearm training. She hasn't used one in over a year.Eh. Might as well keep it for now? It might come in handy in underwater expeditions. That or edit it a bit to make it more versatile?I mean. I still want to create ice spears, you know. Using hydro pump. We could shoot them out like a mini-ballista. Then wield them and fuck up everyone.
>>29844348>"And remember, Ceru: hang back on touching people, cold touches freak people out."toooooooo late....
>>29844348Getting anons to agree on small things is such a pain in the ass... I hope we do it automatically, just because that's not gonna take up that much time..>>29844355Nigger, I don't care what you say, I don't want to follow her on a suicide run to Johto
>>29844335Aw, c'mon. The bident could've been great. Please let us keep it or at least get a refund on the points; nobody even used weapons during the last mission.
>>29844335we're GOING to be using one on this upcoming expedition.
>>29844379the same could be said for the 3d manuever gear.
>>29844335ditch it
>>29844394yeah. We haven't used shit because we haven't been on missions with full gear.
>>29844394Very true.We just haven't been in any situations where the knowledge would have been useful. Devon, for example, stole a spear in the village. If we had gotten one, we'd have been able to use it better.
>>29844374>Nigger, I don't care what you say, I don't want to follow her on a suicide run to Johto>>29844355>I don't think that Lilac would bluff about this.Imagine.. Imagine that she leaves and you get a letter after you come back from expedition.Imagine her prosoloing through mount shiver.No one is going to guess it. But there was an easter egg here. Aside from the straw kit.Gonn'shit brix when you see it.
>>29844408Basically this.I can't think of a single encounter beyond the Farfetch'D mission where we were actually PREPARED for shit.It's a little ridiculous
>>29844429Damnit, Prof. We're sinking fast and you drop this on us. At least give us a clue on where to find it.
>>29844335keep it
>>29844429cardboard box?
>>29844439Lilac's Dialogue
>>29844429>Lilac actually makes it.Well, unless she can phase through all the monsters outside, I don't see it happening.Then again, your dice seem to love you Professor, so who knows?
>>29844429I noticed two; Master of Disguise that was the best fucking movie and the Shorts section of the Silph Catalog.Any others?
>>29844429>Gonn'shit brix when you see it.>that line in the clothinghahahahahint: ratatta
>>29844429On the whole polearm issue, maybe you should wait before deciding on removing it.Really, the one time we were fully equipped for a mission was when we ventured into the Viridian Wood. See how the expedition mission turns out first before deciding whether or not the polearm training is worth keeping or scrapping.
>>29844466>>29844465Aw shit, I forgot all about the ratatta thing.But yeah.Check Lilac's dialogue for the kicker.
>>29844474Remember what happened our first encounter in that forest?Immediately dropped our weapon.I predict that's gonna be a running gag."Do you really know how to use that thing Ceru?""Huh? Yeah, of course I do!""Then why do you never do it?""Well, I just...keep...losing it.""Uhuh. Where is it now?""That big dinosaur ate it!"
>>29844493Lancer E rank Luck.
>>29844493I am fine with this being a running gag.
>>29844488Does it have to do with her sword?
>>29844498So, Prof. Can we freeze our water to make disposable lances? Because I was thinking, if we could get hydro pump, we could freeze the water to create lances.Would thrown weapons training and polearm training stack when it comes to throwing lances anyway?
>>29844524Would count as thrown.Wouldn't require hydro pump to make. You could just about do it now.>>29844514What are you thinking?
>>29844524We might have to expend quite a bit of stamina to keep the lance from melting, unless we were in freezing environment in the first place.
>>29844543Oh, that's nice to know.>>29844545It's not about stamina. If my memory serves me right, the coolness and firmness of our ice shards is dependent upon its level.
really, we've not had any giant monster live takedowns yet.Which is the purpose of the bident.
>>29844488The only things I can see is that she didn't capitalize "reverse", said we were her only -living- friend, and that her Honedge was feeling blue and volunteered to go against Agatha.
>>29844543Holy shit, we're Jin but femaler
>>29844610You've narrowed it down friend. I leave it up to you.Reverse should've been capitalized .
>>29844635Did Bruise count as her friend?>>29844581Speaking of takedowns, OP, can we get a nice incentive to capturing live monsters? Maybe a cash bonus, or collectable points that we can use to purchase special items? Or maybe pats from Boss?
>>29844635Casper the friendly ghost
>>29844615The name of Jin's weapon means "snow woman".ICE CAR!!!!
>>29844615We can also do combos.
>>29844635Well Honedge is blue, but I don't think that's it.Speaking of Honedge, will her sword evolve into multiple swords?
>>29844650>>29844635yes, we need incentive for live monster capture.Bonus points!
>>29844658>mfw Ceru becomes an Ice typed Hone Edge when she dies>mfw she is a poke weapon of legend
>>29844635She doesn't consider Bruise her friend, which is fair, but she DOES see that Honedge as her friend, which is understandable.Is it that ghosts can be depressed? Or that Agatha's ability to command them is not absolute and they're pretty much sticking around the Spire purely because they want to?
>>29844684Really, there are a lot of people I can call a "friend", but only a few that I really do consider to be my friend.I think she likes Bruise well enough, but it's Ceru's relationship with her that means more.
>>29844696>>29844670Not necessarily. Though she may be able to create a ghostly version of it to act as a second. sword.>>29844684>She doesn't consider Bruise her friendBruise didn't visit her like Ceru did.>>29844684Those are other things, but not exactly an easter egg.
>>29844673I don't even know what kind of deaths make honedges.
>>29844740Yeah I got nothing.
>>29844759Version.
>>29844758Swordsmen. A Samurais blade IS his soul.
>>29844758I figured that most ghosts were never "alive" in the first place, Yamask and Phantump being the exceptions.
>>29844740Thoughts on giving us incentives to capture monsters in general? Besides giving us the option to turn them into delicious implants, of course.
>>29844769The Honedge was once Blue Oak when he was alive?
>>29844780Money sounds great. Recognition is a given if you get a rare one.
>>29844796We're only catching shit when a mission is going well.Believe me, I wanted to take that baby Heracross.I love Heracross.But just. No not after that mission
So guys. Who's ready to come up with more unique combination moves we can do?
>>29844777Also maybe Pumpkaboo, though they might burn souls for fuel like the Litwick family.
>>29844796>>29844812Oh hey, Prof. Will we ever see the other characters perform custom moves?
>>29844814Wait never mind, Honedges WERE people once. Apparently.>Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force.
>>29844796Excellent.Can't wait to see where the expedition takes us.I kind of want to go to the Seafoam Islands, but I suspect that place will be a high-level hell.>>29844829Devon knows that his smog is explosive and Sanna's vines apply Sleep Powder/Stun Spore.
>>29844849>>29844796Speaking of explosive gas, any chance we'll see any of the other Rocket Team members we met at dinner on the expedition?
>>29844260>Ceru didn't have the lady-balls to visit devon right now.Which is for the best, really, since I think we should talk to Sanna about Devon's past before we go approaching him.
>>29844876I'm actually kinda glad that no matter what retarded decisions we make, Ceru has her own personality to apply to them all
>>29844857Very likely.
>>29844887that's how these things usually work. Most likely.
>>29844887I do my best to give her some personality.
