@hatakekuro Alright. I'll go ahead and post. Catch up when you can.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

Rowan Branchers

_____

Dewmeadow

Oooooooooooooooohh...

The Professor...

Is...

So...

'Cooooooooooooooooool...' Rowan's fists were gripped in front of him in delight, his eyes blinking in admiration at the positively AWESOME professor which they were given. He was so exceptionally happy that THIS was the Professor which would be giving him his first Pokémon! He'd admire this man his whole life!

'Yes, sir!' Rowan would react instantly to being called in. This all... this all was brimming with genius! Rowan had no idea what all this did, but it all looked so home-made, it was even more awesome than what it would have been had it looked professional! He built it himself? … This man is a hero!

Helped personally by Professor Dogwood? Rowan... HAD NO QUALMS WITH THIS!

'Sir! Your help will be just perfect, sir! I really admire you, sir!' Rowan's eyes were shining with the awe he had for the Professor. He really, REALLY wanted Dogwood to feel appreciated. The boy had noted that the professor had seemed disappointed in the lack of people here, so he was going to make it up by letting him know just how much he meant to Rowan!

Alright. Now. After Mara, Rowan would head to the terminal. Wow. Um. That's some sound. This was all safe, right? Nono, let's not think like that. It's the construction of the brilliant Professor Dogwood. This'll be awesome.

ACCEPT! There was no two ways about it. Rowan was shaking in anticipation as he stared wide-eyed at the screen. Heck, he didn't even care if his information was correct or not. CORRECT, CORRECT! He bounced a little eagerly on the spot, which kinda was making his body tired from his own excitement. So, fancy light show effects, creating a Pokéball, and...

… Purrloin.

Rowan stared wide-eyed at the screen for a bit. They had... they had actually...

'YES!' He cried out. 'YEEEEAAAAS!' There'd be a blonde kid with his arms in the air running around in circles in front of the terminal for a numerous seconds, before he ran over and hugged the Professor. Nevermind if it was inappropriate or not, Rowan was just so brilliantly happy at this moment. After whatever reaction the Professor might have had, Rowan skipped back to the terminal, previous exhaustion forgotten and a wide happy smile on his lips.

'Purrloin is perfect... EXACTLY the way she is...!' Rowan said, and pressed the ”No” button on giving a nickname. In Rowan's experience, it was more common not to nickname, and therefore Rowan had long decided he wouldn't stand out like that. Besides, he wanted Purrloin. Not whatever he'd nickname her. This was exactly the way he wanted it. This was perfect.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

... Hm, looking at natures, I'd wonder which my Purrloin would come across as. Naughty? Impish? Sassy? Probably not the later. Among the other two... *checks definitions*

"naugh•ty (ˈnɔ ti)

adj. -ti•er, -ti•est.
1. disobedient; mischievous.
2. improper, indecorous, or indecent: a naughty word.
3. Obs. wicked; evil."

... Naughty it is. XD

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

So, I've written my post for interacting with the terminal. ... But I don't want to feel like I've skipped Yasha so I'm going to wait a bit.

@Morose@hatakekuro Very well! Then Rowan will totally suggest it after we're given freedom, unless something beats him to it. Haha.

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

...

Minor spoilers to Pokémon Sun/Moon info released recently

Starting out with a little fire-cat chasing a sun-lion. Yeeeaaah Rowan would be all for this generation... XD

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

@Whimsley Haha. Thanks. With the "Huji-specific names" thing, though, I meant more like the human names.

Easy to convert, huh? That makes me curious...



... Oh, dear, gosh, I'm so sorry, machine... XD

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

... Am I the only one wasn't intending on nicknaming my Pokémon? Never did it in the games, and most media makes it seem it's not the norm to do so in the Pokémon world, but so far it does seem like I'd maybe be left behind as the only one not to do so if I don't change my mind... Poor Purrloin might feel unloved if that's the case... Hahaha...

RPGC #9: Rebirth -- voting and discussion

My opinions. I've not yet decided what to vote for. We'll see.

Season Saga

... Yeah. It's that. It's nice. Yeah. Haha.

“Yare, yare” felt really strange here, it felt unsuitable even if I understand what it means.

… That's about it.

Rising Embers

So, I can't read the dark red text without highlighting it. I can read the dark-grey, but it is straining. Am I supposed to be able to read that without trouble? In any case. Let's actually read the entry.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I don't get it. I'm not really in a mood to get it. Maybe I'm in the wrong mood to read entries when I don't feel like doing any work myself. Well, suppose that disqualifies me from critiquing this. Haha.

Love isn't Love

Then, what is love? … Nevermind. XD

Oooh, I'm weak to sweetness. Alright, that was a sweet read. Rebirth of love, eh. Yeah, that is sweeeeeeeeeet. I'm getting diabetes. … Nah, I'm kidding. In any case. The little conflict they had in the middle of the thing was probably natural, but it disturbed me somehow as I didn't entirely understand. They seemed like they totally belonged together and knew it, when suddenly they had to tear off from one another because of a totally wonderful suggestion? I'm confused. Oh, well.

Sweet as heck, anyways. It was a nice little purely sweet thing. Thanks for the read. Well done keeping the atmosphere. It was somewhat cheesy, but heck, cheese is delicious. Haha.

The Winter's Rose and The Wolven Song

I feel like I missed a part of the story. Like, why did he really need to die? Sure, because only he could that and that. But why could only he do that? Huh. The end of the battle happened pretty quickly, too, and I'm not sure I understood why. Sure, super-special-weapon and such, but WHY, though? Am I simply not supposed to know? Haha. Gosh.

In any case. Quite the epic tale you're telling here, otherwise. Nicely done.

Leo's Snow Day

What is that ingredient, anyways? What's that little extra that makes a tragedy something you would cry over? There's obviously something. Just a death does not cause someone to cry. There has to be something around it. This entry clearly has it. It's that part about him suddenly turning into a young puppy, exploring loved places, cuddling before leaving into the snow-storm. Why does that make the story so much more amazing? I don't understand sadness, damn it. The fact that it happened should be sadder than the way it was presented, damn it. XD

When I read the hider, I was like “C'mon, no way”. Well, you did that. So, well done. How does one do that? I probably should do some research into the matter. Heh.

Tomorrow/Today

... Yupp. I know this message. But reading an entry on the internet is not going to magically make it happen. XD

Any case. It read OK to me. If you want deeper critique than that, do not turn to me. Haha.

I was not always a frog

Clever. I like it. It didn't really have much of a story, but it kept me entertained with mere rambling. I found this quite interesting. I was engaged all the way to the end. I quite like it. Haha. Nicely done. You perfectly pulled off writing the rambling of a frog that wasn't always a frog, which is a subject that's hard to imagine exists. Well, it does now. And you perfected it. XD

Yupp. Very nicely written. I really like this. Haha.

Ancient Ruins

... Well. I'm afraid to say I lost interest in the story the moment he bit her neck. Why, a mission of exploration is pretty interesting, seeing what one might find in the depths of the world. But, um. Don't just suddenly spring “VAMPIRE” on us. Such a sudden change of genre is downright jarring. Genre-shifts can be done, but they probably should be done one step at a time. I was rather uninterested at everything after we lost the former main character. Had she turned into an interesting vampire, maybe it would have been more interesting, but nope, she's a slave as any other child of his.

The story's fine, really. Just didn't suit me. Oh, well. It is quite nicely written. Haha.

The God in the Cave

... I really, REALLY miss a description of her mind and emotional state in the final conversation of the entry. I feel it is missing there. Because, without it I can only assume they had one extremely emotionless conversation. I wanted to know what exact thoughts went through her mind when she made this life-changing decision. I was invested enough to want that, damn it. With it, I would have felt this was a clear above-average entry that I felt proud over the writer for having written. But, without it, I'm left with as much of a blank as the descriptions outside their spoken words at the end there. Which really, REALLY annoys me. Haha.

But, given that I can go on such a long rant about it, well done! For a typical ”don't deal with illegal miracles” story, this had me rather interested. Both the duke and his wife were pretty amusing, and the fact I knew what was going to happen actually HELPED keeping my interest in the piece, amusingly enough. When what will happen is obvious, it actually makes a better story when we actually have already been told what's going to happen, huh? I got to remember that technique. Nicely written, and well done!

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

... [need to double posts to get mentions working]

@Whimsley I did not consider the native ways of measuring length when writing my height, haha...

@Morose@hatakekuro Oh, by the way, I wanted to ask. I'm pretty sure we don't HAVE to if you don't want to, but I'd like us to possibly have ourselves be a group that travels together. So, in the case that you two agree, would you have any advice on how to get this suggestion across to your characters properly so it'll possibly make sense in-character?

Pokémon: One (~Looking for one player and a Co-GM!~)

… Now I suddenly realize that I have no idea how names typically sound in this region. Oh, well.

I thought it appropriate to, well, not jump at the chance to make the first post to receive a Pokémon (despite my character), but still usher us in that direction, so I made my post with that in mind. Like, I'm not the first in our kinda order, so I thought it appropriate to not break the order in that kinda way.

The interrupted line was because I really wanted Rowan to ask a friend-like question, but didn't feel there was time to force people to actually react to it. Haha.
