The Warring States of NPF - Pokemon Umbral Theatre 25: On the Road Again...

Probably so. This is the conversation I had with Drac on the edu-pad.

Question is whether he is actually dead NOW or is currently dying but still has life enough for a few parting words or whatnot... We'll see when Drac finishes his half done post.

Renny: good to see you
15:58 Dracorion: Balls.
15:58 Renny: just composing a battle plan, don't mind me
15:58 Renny: not going to bug you
15:59 Dracorion: We get a Sniper?
15:59 Renny: yeah, Whitney
16:00 Dracorion: By which I mean:
16:00 Dracorion: I thought AB said we didn't/
16:00 Renny: AB said we wouldn't be able to use it in cramped locations, but he did say way earlier on that the last battle would be more spacious
16:00 Dracorion: 'Kay.
16:00 Renny: but I'll ask and confirm if this particular room is spacious enough
16:01 Dracorion: Mhm.
16:01 Renny: just to confirm. thanks for bringing it up
16:11 Renny: btw, your post was... interesting in an unnerving way
16:12 Renny: like all the conversations and such with you wanting Enmakki and getting Chizuru and all that just to die there?
16:12 Renny: Makes me suspect you're going to come back to life as a result of a last ditch effort from force feeding you a magatama
16:12 Renny: giving you your next level's upgrade of demon
16:12 Dracorion: Naw.
16:13 Dracorion: I'm not Gem.
16:13 Dracorion: And are you familiar with the term "red herring"?
16:13 Renny: yes, I am
16:13 Renny: and yes, I did consider that you might have been bullshitting about wanting those upgrades all those times
16:14 Renny: when you really wanted to kill him off in the first place
16:14 Renny: but actually admitting that possibility is a bit of a mouthful to swallow
16:14 Renny: especially since you wanted Pierce to lead in the sequel
16:15 Renny: and you can't exactly do that if your character isn't animated in some form or other!
16:15 Dracorion: That was just more misdirection on my part.
16:15 Dracorion: I was really comitted to making it a shock, you know?
16:15 Renny: "Well, you succeded you magnificent bastard." :3
16:16 Renny: I guess Renny is going to have to read your elogy or something?
16:17 Renny: you want something awesome written on your tombstone?
16:17 Renny: :3
16:17 Renny: is Elizabeth your new main character now?
16:17 Dracorion: "Fuck yo shit".
16:17 Dracorion: And yes.
16:17 Renny: so, all of your pokemons are dead too
16:18 Renny: hold on, what about Dialga?
16:18 Renny: or were they stolen or something?
16:18 Renny: I mean, valuable pokemons are valuable
16:18 Dracorion: Not necessarily.
16:18 Dracorion: They're beaten. Horace might not bother to kill them.
16:18 Dracorion: Steal them, maybe.
16:19 Renny: well, I would figured that they would go rogue at least
16:19 Renny: but you did say that only Blaziken was able to fight at that time
16:19 Renny: and it was in bad shape too
16:19 Renny: >_> and why do I get the feeling that Charlotte is going to be smiling from ear to ear?
16:20 Dracorion: It was. Then it got knocked out.
16:20 Dracorion: And she will be.
16:21 Renny: btw, I'm just going to write up the battle post to prepare, but I'm going to wait a bit for you to get your post done
16:21 Renny: cause I'm still confused about whether Pierce has been found by our group yet or not
16:22 Renny: which should change people's reactions quite a bit
16:25 Renny: oh, AB has his ESTOC thread up
16:25 Renny: I didn't notice. ^^
16:27 Renny: btw, I just have one question to ask
16:28 Renny: since your entire leadership thing was one big lie, is Renny leader or are we passing it on to Elizabeth or something?
16:28 Renny: (Well, the part of Pierce being leader was a lie)
16:30 Dracorion: Eh.
16:30 Dracorion: Haven't decided yet.
16:30 Dracorion: I'm sure Elizabeth could persuade Renny to give it up, though.
16:31 Renny: Well, I wasn't planning to have Renny be "all powerful leader" or whatnot
16:31 Renny: if anything, his role might be closer to the "Ace" or something.
16:31 Renny: someone the group can rely on in a difficult situation
16:32 Renny: but that's way in the future anyhow
16:32 Renny: I was just asking hypothetically
16:35 Renny: btw, was there a particular reason why you killed Pierce off?
16:35 Renny: like were you tired of his character? You wanted to try something different? Or was it purely for the sake of the story?
16:36 Renny: it's all fine either way. I'm just curious
17:15 Renny: So... if/when we find Pierce, can we loot your body for your items?
17:15 Renny: or should I assume you used them all up trying to survive?
17:35 Dracorion: Used them up.
17:36 Dracorion: Also, Renny is the last person who would consider graverobbing.
18:00 Renny: well, the situation IS desperate
18:00 Renny: and it's not like they are your treasured goods
18:01 Renny: like a family keepsake
18:01 Renny: and if your pokemons were there, he'd probably take them just to ensure they were cared for
18:02 Renny: but, like you said, it would definately not be anywhere near the first thought he would have
