Pokemon Umbral Theatre 6: Player Conspiracies

[Astral Harmony]

AB: If I recall correctly, isn't this intermission phase the one you said where the pokebrids are probably going into heat? Or you saving that until later?

Thank you reminding me. If some posts have already been made, then I'll go ahead and kick off the Pokebrid shenanigans.

Also, do we have a time frame for how long the intermission is before the next mission?

The length of the intermission depends mostly on Dracorian. I think the best time to move things along is when he's already at Millenium House by himself. Then we'll find out about it.

Today's my duty day, and I intend to use that day to put all the new characters (Marionata, Twiloch, Mio, Sakuya, Silk, and Laurith) into the document so you can decide who to have in your respective DSS setups.

There will essentially three teams. Pierce, by himself, is the first team, so he doesn't make any DSS choices. He'll pick up and drop off characters throughout his little solo campaign.

That leaves a Main Entrance squad and a Maintenance Entrance squad. Certain characters won't be available. Lexhur's big ass is too big to participate, so he's gonna be sided with a fourth squad whose purpose is to wait outside and keep the bastards we want to kill from escaping. Rayleen and Sakuya will also not be available for mysterious reasons. I'll have to look at those PMs from Dracorian, but I think Chizuru also won't be available.

And don't be complaining about Renny getting money. I mean, it's just money. You guys make a lot of it on your own through your paychecks. All it really does is allow you to tell certain parts of your story in different ways.

So... Renny got richer from bringing his Mollesk for a check-up. Guess Pierce and later on, Charlotte should bring their pokemons in too for some quick cash. :3

Which is even more bullshit. I mean, if he sold it, yes. But getting a huge some of money for just having this pokemon through pure dumb luck and coincidence, that just shows how decadent this society is. I mean, consider what could have been done with this money. The hungry could have been fed. Children could have been educated. It could have gone into actual useful research. Nope, instead it goes to trainers who haven't done much to deserve it, and whose contribution, however minimal really does nothing to advance humanity. At all. How does Mollesk being discovered help anyone? How is it progress? How is it science? Why do people care enough about a trainer finding a new pokemon that it justifies this story being of the front page?

Not to mention, whose money is it anyway? Is that state funding? Are those fucking tax dollars that the trainers of as-of-yet unknown pokemon are getting? Seriously, what is this?

I mean goddammit. There's "We live in a pokemon world", and then there's this. Decadence.
Seriously, the world should be thankful that Impact's gonna take it over. He could hardly do a worse job at ruling it than is currently being done.

Well, Renny brought it over for a check-up. Ricewood probably analyzed Mollesk and got a tons of data on it that could be used for scientific purposes. In a society like Honmyrr where wild pokemon run rampant, knowing a pokemon's specific abilities helps law enforcement teams be able to control/counter them. Also, since Ricewood makes equipments and accessories for slayers, you can say that any discoveries that she makes from the contributions of trainers showing newly discovered pokemons help law enforcement and thus society. And that's before taking anything else in consideration like medicine and such... (She probably analyzed the Mollesk wine instead of drinking it... >_<)

In fact, you could probably say that it was Mollesk that inspired Ricewood to make the Crit accessory since Crits helps bypass the huge defenses that would come from it buffing itself. (If the crit is a massive one instead of a standard one).

[Menarker]

What I meant in terms of time frame for the intermission was more like the length of time in character that passes before Pierce kicks things off. I doubt he'll wait several months, knowing that Sam is in Faynoc's clutches. But he'll probably be waiting for a little bit, hoping that PATCA acts fast enough or using that time to sneak enough info from looking up documents and asking innocuous questions until he feels he has enough info to dive in by himself. Which might be about 2-3 weeks. Then again, you said that Pokebrid mating season tends to last 3 straight months.

Unless you intend for the pokebrids to be entering the mission while still feeling hot and bothered! That would be interesting in some regards!


And I get the feeling that Laurith would be paired up with Aster because her muteness would be mostly negated if Aster had free reign to read her mind and act as her middle-man translator.

Time frame? Perhaps a week. I think Dracorian probably wanted it to be kicked of that very night, but there could be a few days before he actually gets the information he needs. Judging from his PMs, his old buddies like to toy with him.

I didn't even mention them in the post, but Lucian and Discord will also be available (the Pokemon they lost will be replaced by something a little less legendary).

Yeah, a week sounds about right. It's just about enough time for Pierce to deal with Tyranitar going through puberty.

You and me need to actually get together and write that shit up, huh?

... Or we could just procrastinate, that'd work too.

Yes, Pierce's old buddies are bastards.

[Menarker]

Ah, so the pokebrids are still going to be under the influence of lust during this mission (and perhaps the next one, the beach mission)

Including Matthias. ^,^

And Renny too since he's getting Pokebrid, unless you need to have been a pokebrid for a while before it takes effect or something like that.

[Astral Harmony]

I'm not sure, yet. I need to think about it. Actually, yes. It's gonna be pretty weird...

Renny: "So, how did the operation go?"
Jeanette: "It was a complete success. How do you feel?"
Renny: "...Wanna fuck?"
Jeanette: "Yeah, I think you need to get back to your mission."
Renny: "Oh, right, the mission!"
Jeanette: "..."
Renny: "..."
Jeanette: "So..."
Renny: "Just a quickie, then?"
Jeanette: "Go away!"

So are wwe just going to like, leave Mio the way Faynoc left her?

Like, wasn't she really 10 years old? Are we just going to leave her looking aged up and recruit her into a law enforcement agency to further worsen the mental scars?

I'm leaving this in orange because I'm honestly curious.

[Dracorion]

Well, she seems to be handling it pretty well, you know.
