RPGC #11: Heatwave! -- Voting and Discussion

@McHaggis Er, a little late, but I want to congratulate you on your win! It was well deserved! And of course, @Keyguyperson's entry was well deserving of the runner-up spot~

@Esoteric Hm. If it was a grandfather reading me the story while I sat and listened attentively, then I do believe I probably would have gotten more invested than I did. I'm not entirely sure you managed to convey that feel. But, even if you did, it is very difficult to become emotionally invested into something so... so... alien. XD

Regardless, as I said, it was really interesting. You're welcome for the compliments, you deserve them. Well done, still.

Pokémon: Start

@Pink Madness Playing a character that would say no to being invited to play card-games is entirely okay~ … As is potentially playing a character that would potentially insist or ask again in hope of the shy individual overcoming their apprehension for potentially playing, you other two, haha. Well, of course, so is playing a character that wouldn’t ask again, all is fine.

Well posted, regardless~

@Pirouette Oh, dear. Did you get spooked? Haha. I do believe you might have used the wrong name after your last line, but eh, that’s details. Looks like we’re slowly getting to something. Nicely posted, that should open the way for Delta~ … Though I think you might have mentioned the wrong player, I don’t see @Lasrever and Abigail involved in that you’re currently in, haha. No worries, we can handle figuring out what’s up.

Let’s see, before I post… I would like to see @Keyblade87 react to the strange guy’s response, potentially see @Delta44 react to the greetings, and perhaps @Eklispe/@Pikmin Eye’s reactions to Donna’s apprehension. I’m satisfied with Abigail and Lucian’s conversation, but they’re obviously allowed to continue with whatever they like if they desire to. Claire’s response to whatever Ren says could be interesting, but could be included even after I post my post, as is any other reaction. So yupp, that’s about that.

@Pink Madness I'm pretty sure Martin and Dawkin switched card-game to allow for more players, and you were invited~ So, um, did you accept the invitation? If so, or if not, could you modify your post to detail that? It's slightly important for Pikmin Eye's and Eklispe's response~

@Pyromaniacwolf And yupp, well posted. Teh-heh, most likely cases are amusing when compared to the reality. Though, yeah, she is prepared. XD

Pokémon: Start

@Pink Madness Yes, as Eclispe said, in the post right before yours Dawkin initiated contact with Martin. And then you posted, also interacting with Martin. Hence, Pikmin Eye responded to the both of you in the same post. No problems at all.

@Pyromaniacwolf Well, er. I suppose it would be? As long as you run it by me first so nothing I can't accept gets through. Though, it kind of helps me as a GM if I know all there is about you in case I want to use your backstory for something. Now, you're from Johto, meaning your past is much more unlikely to get itself involved in what's currently going on in Isson, but I still could want to, and not knowing the whole story could keep me from daring to do anything. Yeah.

@Lasrever Nicely posted. Teh-heh, you two have been having one consistent conversation. In any case.

I believe that should about suffice. If those who have reactions yet to do can do those just one more time, I believe that should be enough to get this show on the road. Haha.

Pokémon: Start

@Eklispe I do like to make my players feel appreciated. Responding to the posts feels like the way to do that. I'm happy if I've gotten the intended result.

@Pink Madness ... The lab has a back door? What’s more, a back door that looks enough like a front-door that you can mistake it for a front door? … SURE! Kalmia wants people to know that this is the Pokémon Lab, regardless of what direction you’re coming from! XD

I haven’t specifically described there to be any trees around. Sure, there are forests not that far outside Pureplain, but Pureplain was built on a plain. Eh, details. Someone probably had trees in their garden, and it’s one of those the strange man’s standing by. Haha.

And it was totally Martin’s fault you walked into him. After all, setting up a card-game’s the same as blending into the background. It’s no wonder you couldn’t see him! … That, and he since he was playing on the ground, he was probably too low to see for someone aiming for the skies. Right? XD

Anyways, jokes aside, nicely posted. And now Martin has two incidents to react to. Being calmly introduced to and being clumsily walked into. Wonderful.

@Keyblade87 And… yupp! Someone can totally speak to the strange man! XD

Nicely posted. Lesse. You’re calling out from the other side, but this man is not one who would raise his voice. In addition, he wouldn’t actually come over if he could help it. How to overcome that. … Eh. I’m the GM! I’ll just momentarily upgrade your hearing instead. XD

@Pikmin Eye Wooo. What a nice and civilized response. I’m honestly impressed. Let’s all play card-games together! Yaaaaaaaaaay~! XD

Nicely posted~

The guy was just standing there inspecting, when suddenly he’s being called by someone. The man blinked a little, hearing sound-waves directed at him indicating speech, and he turned to look at the source. A… young and fierce-looking boy, quite in-line for how he’d himself imagine a new Pokémon Trainer should look, with suitable quirkiness. Of course that would be the kind which called out to an odd stranger. He chuckled at the amusing typicality. Only polite to respond that, isn’t it?

‘Do not worry, young hopeful.’ He replied. ‘I have business in the lab. It is not the same business as yours, but it does leave me waiting all the same. As for watching young hopefuls, it’s simply a nostalgic thing for an adult to watch children getting ready for their fateful journey. Can you blame me? As someone who only comes by Pureplain City rarely and with all that's been going on, it’s a refreshing sight. Fu-fu.’ He chuckled, confident he had given reasonable enough an excuse for his presence here.

@Pyromaniacwolf Teh-heh. That’s a theory. Hm, maybe I should tell things like “how the members of Team Virtue usually dress”, because I’m feeling that might be relevant. Eh, all in due time. They’re not present in Pureplain anyway. So, nicely posted.

@Pikmin Eye Well, I’d say greeting people IS the right way to start a conversation. I believe it just required that one addressed them directly rather than generally. But, looks like that option was considered and opted against. Playing solitaire in plain view of everyone, eh? Suppose that’s an option if you’re bored. XD .. Yeah, well posted.

@Eklispe Well, there’s actually one more person that’s not talking with anyone, that is, @Pink Madness’s Donna, but anyways, yupp. I can totally approve of the reasons and emotions associated with the current initiation of conversation. Nicely posted.

@Rune_Alchemist Well. Er. You CAN have a Holo Caster, but for anything else than contacting people from home it’s going to be useless, nobody else around here has a Holo Caster! XD … Besides, the functions it comes with will be handled soon enough. Yupp.

@Delta44 I’m pretty sure she wasn’t! XD

Pokémon: Start

@Rune_Alchemist A-actually, uh, I've been continuously rereading it, and, um, after having become self-conscious, I'm finding it rather dripping with unintended, er... I probably could have refrained from several word-choices and actually pointing out the errors in a character-sheet I was never going to approve anyway, it kind of gives off the feeling of that I was criticizing him for no purpose other than my own amusement...

THAT ASIDE.

Yes. That. That is amusing. And, for the later part, we'll see. You can certainly voice your hopes to Delta. Haha.

Pokémon: Start

@SmileyJaws Eh? How was I a wait-what? I believe I properly explained my reasons for why I am limiting the number of players in the roleplay, and I even pointed out potential errors in your character sheet that would have kept you from being accepted as it currently is had I been accepting...

OK, I suppose the first lines were a little strict, I might be a bit tired after a long day right now, but the rest was intended in good spirit! ... Oh, well...
