I've been a little disinterested in what's currently going on for a while, but here's a post of Lataniva doing nothing to show I exist. Just give me a call if anyone wants to spice anything up or what-not. Otherwise, I'll be waiting until action happens.
Lataniva started to look exceedingly disinterested after Arex latest reply and then proceeded to just turn around and walk, deciding that she didn’t really need to know.

She was present at the different meetings. She had probably put an order for a few extra knives, and it’d be nice to have a few laser-knives or something she could throw at enemies with shields that could go through, because shields would block most of her other capabilities. She’d also attempt to get herself some high-quality gemstones for her equipment. Likely fail.

On the freetime she’s be found sleeping in different positions free beds across the ship, seemingly randomly picked, or she was exercising her muscles / polishing her gems and armor / sharpening her blades somewhere. She wouldn’t seek out contact with someone else unless she had an intention with it. Currently, she didn’t.

When it was requested that some help them unpack, Lataniva did find herself sufficiently free. Besides, having a psionic who could unpack with her mind could likely be of considerable use in plenty of situations down there. Otherwise, Lataniva would just be around as usual, not really intent on claiming any area for herself and being around.
That'll do. Hopefully.

@Delta44 How's it going?
@Joshua Tamashii - Night

Amelia kneeled down, though given that the Pumpkaboo came in sizes from 0.3 to 0.8 meters tall, it was quite a choice of height to level with them. After she had said her piece, the different Pumkaboos exchanged glances while still lying in a pile. No shinies lie among their number, however. A small discussion seemed to start taking place.

‘Kaboo?’ ‘Boo.’ ‘Kaboo?’ ‘Pumka?’ There were a few frowns among them, eyeing Amelia. Some of the voices sounded a little more heated than other curious voices. Then, a tiny little pumpkin rolled off the pile and onto the proper side. The little creature was the tiniest of its kind, at barely 30 centimeters tall, and looked kind of happy. Now, it should be noted that among Pumpkaboos larger size are usually favored for bragging purposes, but, well. This one seemed intent.

‘Pumpka-!’ ‘-PUMPKABOO!’ A suddenly much larger Pumkaboo broke free of the pile, rolling out and blocking the way of the smaller one. This one was the full size, 80-something centimeters tall, super-sized and many times heavier. It frowned at Amelia, looking as if to defend the tiny and surprised Pumpkaboo. ‘Pumpkaboo.’ Didn’t look like he wished to leave the tiny one to Amelia. Or he was issuing a challenge, maybe, glaring at Amelia’s Pokémon. That he was protecting his fellow pumpkins.

… But, it was quite notable that a few Gourgeists were floating closer to the scene, their ghastly song filling the air and cursing those who hears it, their smiles wide under their gleaming eyes. Not that the additional ghost-typing the song was adding had much effect on those present, but…



Laurinda frowned, looking at the gheists.

‘Chandelure. Be ready. Even with her affinity, the Gourgeists of these woods are still malevolent beings…’ She cautioned her fire-type ghost, who clearly was there for exactly that purpose.

‘Chandelure…’ And Chandelure did make ready, lowering its arms and the fires on the arms lighting up, making ready for a potential encounter.

Mia made a thankful nod before heading off with Allan down the hill. Now, then. Lucian heads into the cavern, and…



… The cave has a damp smell to it, due to the water further in. It’s a rocky corridor, with rocks and creatures, but up ahead the road splits into three. To the left, there’s a tunnel in to a rocky tunnel which is dry but still lit somehow, if he wished to avoid getting wet. To the right was a wet, partly drowned tunnel which a person would have to wade to get through. Straight ahead starts a fairly sharply inclining tunnel descending downwards, into darkness.

While Houndour likely yet doesn’t know the smell of a Ducklett, he can smell where Mia and Allan came from. They definitely came from the wetter tunnel, and along with that was the smell of other creatures, one likely that of a bird of some kind. They headed to, and came back through, the wet tunnels to the right. If Lucian wished to pursue, he’d have to get a bit wet.

But before that, did a new person just enter the Wet Caverns? Here comes the welcoming committee! Venipede didn’t have to look for long as a couple of swift movements could be seen overhead almost immediately. Small flapping noises filled the cave as the Zubats came descending rapidly towards them.



Pokédex Entry #41 – Zubat, the Bat Pokémon. It lives in colonies in dark places. It has no eyes, but when flying it is constantly emitting ultrasonic sounds which it uses to navigate through echolocation. As sunlight burns it, it’s usually only found in caves or at night.


Lucian could engage them, if he wants to. Or, he could simply press on, because engaging every Zubat in the cave would be a long and gruesome venture. If pressing on, they’d be flying about much like mosquitoes, very annoying but not really able to do much. Just snarl at them or wave them off when they try to Leech Life occasionally and everything’s fine. As such, here are options as to what to do, anyway.

In addition, Martin and Dawkin was entering the cavern about thirty seconds after he did, should Lucian wish to interact in some way. Though, the Zubats will still be there.

Lakewatch Town. You don’t know the way, yet!

‘Oh, this guy?’ Larry asked, as the question of where he found his Geodude. ‘There’s a ton of ‘dudes in the Wet Caverns. If you head for the drier areas, they’re literally everywhere. A lot of them may be disguised as normal rocks, though. Kick or have a decently tough Pokémon knock on round Geodude-sized rocks, and you’re bound to run into one eventually!’ Larry smirked as he showed off his knowledge of Geodudes.

‘Ooooow… I-I’ll try…’ Carol said in response to Dawkin’s criticism, before pulling back.

Then, the two headed on, and nothing stopped them from arriving to the Wet Caverns. The road became a climb upwards towards the looming mountain, and soon enough they arrived at the famed hole in the wall.



It’s just a hole, anyone can go in and attempt getting to the other side. It remains wild, just like the Pokémon that await within. And, this time, there was no event awaiting them at the entrance, so they were free to simply head in.

And, straight ahead is Lucian. He entered the Wet Caverns just before them. He’s currently reacting to three Zubats in some way that isn’t detailed until his next post.

Yupp. Otherwise, the two of them can move as they please. No sign of Virtue or Amethyst yet.

Jeffrey totally looked like it’d continue with an attack after Ralia’s interference, but Yvonne held the Snubbull back with both her hands and could eventually get the dog-Pokémon to calm down seeing as there were no immediate danger.

‘Tsk. I’m sorry about that.’ Yvonne said with a frown, picking up the Pokéball to return Jeffrey into it.

‘Snubull.’ Jeffrey stated before he was returned to the Pokéball. Yvonne then stood up with a sigh and corrected her pose, running her hands through her hair to ensure it was still in perfectly good and orderly twin-tails as she made sure to regain her confident smile and become ready for more adventuring.

‘Well. If that was all, then I’ll be on my way. You have my number.’ Eugene said, the first part to them both, and the latter to Yvonne. He returned two of his Skarmories and then sat up on the remaining one, looking to the girls. ‘Thank you for travelling with the Freecape Ferrymen. I hope to see you again. … Good luck, girls.’ And unless stopped, he’d make his Skarmory take off and they flew away into the skies in the direction of Mt. Strength. Yvonne had nodded to him and then waved him away as he left.

‘Hmgh. If I am to actually afford the trip back, I might actually have to earn some extra money.’ Yvonne complained with a frown on her face as she looked at where Eugene was flying off to. But then she made a decision, gaining a little smirk, and turned to Claire.

‘Alright. I am going to spend some time at the Redcoast City Pokémon Gym. It’s Minor League, as far as I heard, so there should be a few underwhelming challengers. I’m going to challenge the challengers, or maybe just the gym itself if there are none. We could meet up in the shopping district by the Contest Hall in the afternoon? I should have regained a bit of my funds by then, ready to spend. Ho-ho.’ Yvonne suggested, smirking as she spoke to Claire.

So, now it was possible that Claire changed her intended course of action due to Eugene’s or Yvonne’s words. If she did, then post about that and work from there. If she didn’t, Claire and Yvonne parted ways there and Claire headed eastwards. Where she found…



@Pink Madness Very well. It's been good to have you, then. I hope you've enjoyed your time here with us. We'll be here if you want to come back~!

Well. With that, I think I should take a peek into the waiting list.

So, a lot is going to happen today and tomorrow, due to Easter. In fact, I shouldn't be sitting here right now, but I did want to say that you shouldn't expect any posts during this period of time. I'll see if I can get something up on Tuesday. See you then.

In the meantime, is there anything you'd like to call attention to with my methods of GMing? Anything you'd like changed or so? If you say it, I can take it into consideration. Haha.
@Eklispe Alright, nicely posted. Continuing walking towards the Wet Caverns, then.

@Pyromaniacwolf No worries. That you respond when noted shows me you are alive! And nicely posted. Teh-heh, won't this be slightly amusing.

@Rune_Alchemist Yupp. I understand what's going on and where it leads. Because Claire is smart. XD
Nicely posted!
@SSGSS Senpai I don't really know about the "on-call" thing. You might notice that my ally got Twinned Souls thing. I'm just keeping the twin around just the same as the actual ally. Nobody appears to have objected about that so far.
@SSGSS Senpai I was speaking about the ally. If you're making your ally a PC... then really, do you need to have the Ally perk at all?

Twinned soul is just that, a twin. It has the exact same stats as you, but you both have -1 in all stats and the effects of Silver coins are halved on both of you, and I'm pretty sure the use of Bronze coins do not affect your twin. The only things the twin rolls for are weapon, outfit and power, which for some reason differ. Otherwise, they're an identical copy of you. Same age, body-type, specialization and same perks.

The twin CANNOT be made an additional PC, for, really, they're already part of one. The twin is the same character again. So, yeah.

Roll 9 d20ies for a regular ally. In perks, they only get 3 combat perks. You get to chose to make them a regular girl who can then spend two silvers and three bronze on their stats, or make them a monster girl with benefits and drawbacks as you pick and no coins. That's about that. They're not MEANT to be PCs. Just NPCs that hang along with the character. That's what the Ally perk is supposed to give you.

Edit: I should note that this is just how I personally have interpreted the rules. If the GM says otherwise, then otherwise goes.
@Landaus Five-One I like that you liked my post. :)

@SSGSS Senpai I'm pretty sure that the difference is that, if they're PCs, you make all complete rolls and they get their own patrons and 1 gold 3 silvers 4 bronze and all of that. If they're NPCs/just allies, like my two twins, they only get 9 rolls (three Combat Perks), no patron (probably automatically same as yours) and a decreased amount of coins/no coins if they're monster girls. The thing being, you cannot have too many PCs, so, yeah.
@Pikmin Eye Nicely posted. I'll assume the question of the Geodude was to his trainer? Teh-heh, I'll have him answer next post, even if you move. And, I'll assume you move along with @Eklispe should he post a post of moving unless anyone says otherwise. Haha.

@Joshua Tamashii Teh-heh. Straight to the point. Nicely posted. Okay, let's see what I can cook up. And with cooking, I did not mean cooking pumpkins, just for clarification.

@Pink Madness@Pyromaniacwolf How's it going?
