@Eklispe Nicely posted. Yupp, this is a reasonable reaction and a potential strategy. My apologies for the being suddenly overshadowed, hah.
@Pirouette I'm happy to see you post! Yeah. That's nice enough. Nicely posted. If Rune's alright with it, she can go ahead and reply. And, heh, Poli's cute, too. Now, then.
@Joshua Tamashii Okay, to explain what's going on here for everyone else. A while ago, Joshua sent me a character-sheet for a considerably higher-level trainer. Though, I don't have any intention of allowing anyone to play more than one player character that the world is centered around. That said, assuming he doesn't go out adventuring on his own, I'm alright with him appearing near other player characters. Eklispe was checked with if he was fine with this. Of course, since I've allowed this, it means I'm going to allow anyone who wants something similar, but for now, this guy's regarded basically as an NPC that is under Joshua's control. Now, then.
Nicely posted. A bit quicker than I was imagining, would have liked to see you struggle a little longer on your own strength, but ultimately I do recognize you were completely outmatched here. Alright. Now let's see how I'll have Angelique react, hah.
Edit: Also, nicely done on the Pokédex entries. I would have made the images a bit smaller, but heh, you condensed the entries pretty much the way I do, which I'm impressed by. Nice, heh.
@Eklispe Nicely posted, that was really fast and I didn't want to make another post so soon after the other, so, heh. Anyways. Nice. Makes me happy.
I'd like to make a mention that I do like mentions in the OOC of the current situation of the players if they at all see my reminders, even if it'd take a bit longer for the actual post. Because, well. This game needs people to post to progress. Hah.
A pleasant morning awaited in Pureplain City, with the city waking up and people heading to their respective destinations. Here, Eryn arrived at the Pokémon Lab to receive her first Pokémon and embark on her journey. The lab itself was a single-floor building with a sign that said “Pokémon Lab” on it that didn’t really look like a lab, and then an offshoot on the right side which looked like a regular home that connected to the lab part.
Inside the Pokémon Lab, Professor Kalmia was… sleeping. On the floor of room stood a Slowpoke, vacant eyes looking at absolutely nothing in particular as it seemed the professor was going to sleep in again. From the other room over, Eryn’s solid knocks on the door resounded, but fell on sleeping ears a few rooms away. So, the scene continued peacefully…
'SLOW!'
'KYAH!'
…
…
…
'Eryn! There you are!' Kalmia sounded out happily as she swung the door open for the newest young trainer to embark on a trip through Isson, one minute later. Kalmia was a decently tall woman, wearing glasses and had blonde hair tied into a ponytail, and wore casual blue clothes under a white professor-like lab-coat. Her hair was completely soaked and she had a towel around her neck for some reason.
+ lab-coat as described, because professor
'Come on in! I’ll get you started in just a second!' Kalmia waved her in, turning to go poke at her laptop on a table.
The rectangular room immediately inside the door had bookshelves placed in a circle around an area in the middle, not properly taking advantage of the space in the corners. The shelves contained varying books and papers of research, as well as the occasional Pokéballs. In the back and right, a large amount of what appeared to be computer servers filled about 40% of the available space, and they were coupled to Kalmia’s laptop which stood on a desk to the left of it. Other than the laptop, there was also a large amount of papers and binders on it, making it impossible to place anything else on there.
To the right of the table was a healing station from a Pokémon Center, with places to place six Pokéballs, along with a large cylinder thing with a glass middle and a hatch that one likely were to place something moderately large within. There was nothing that said what it actually was. While it was tight in here, it was still decently maneuverable and Kalmia knew where everything she wanted was.
There was a door to the right leading to the offshoot house on the side of the lab, and from it was a pink Pokémon waddling forward at an extremely slow pace.
In addition, on top of the servers was another Pokémon, a round tadpole-looking blue one with white stomach with swirly pattern on it.
@Pirouette is free to add if she wants Poli to do anything~
Kalmia went and recovered an item next to her laptop, turning and delivering the item to Eryn.
‘Okay, since you waited until graduation before embarking you’re a bit late, date-wise, and the other trainers have already picked up their Pokédexes and left. They’ll have a bit of a headstart on you. Anyways, I figure you want to get going as soon as possible, so here you go!’
‘This is your Pokédex. Now, let me explain a few things.’
‘First and foremost, your Trainer Card. It is your ID as a Pokémon Trainer, showing your name, index number as a Pokémon Trainer, a picture of you, the date you got your card, today, and it also shows how many badges you currently have. At the moment, that's zero. If you ever enter the Pokémon League, the Battle Dome or any Pokémon Contests, it will also show your results there.’ Kalmia said. ‘I took the liberty of inserting your new Trainer Card into your Pokédex, for the Pokédex won't function without it, but you can take it out when you need to show it or add a badge to it. It's in the back of the Pokédex.’ (You know how the Pokédex looks like a Game Boy Advance? It's in the place where you'd insert a game cartridge. You may pick what colour yours is~)
‘Your Pokédex has multiple functions. The main function is to give you information on every Pokémon you encounter and register the Pokémon you have caught. Scan a Pokémon by simply holding the Pokédex towards the Pokémon in question and press the scan-button. You'll be told information about said Pokémon, and by capturing the Pokémon you can also see its expected sizes, what moves it knows, what level it is, what types it is, where it is expected to live, all sorts of stuff. Note, Pokéballs needs to be registered to a person in order for them to function, and the Pokédex does that for you when your Trainer's Card is inserted. It's already linked to the PC as well, so any Pokémon beyond the six you're already carrying will be transported to the PC, and you can retrieve them at any Pokémon Center PC.’ It is common knowledge that you can only have six Pokémon at you at any time.
‘If you check the Pokédex, you can play the cries of a specific Pokémon you've previously caught. Use that as you wish. You can also use the Pokédex to find out where you might be able to find a specific Pokémon that you've scanned and want to catch... Or, well, you WOULD be able to do that, but the Pokédex has never existed in Isson and as such that data is not recorded. However, you can input it! So, if someone ELSE of you guys has inserted the data of where one might be able to find a specific Pokémon, then it will display on your map similarly! You can also supply each other with information about your previously caught Pokémon if you wish! Do help each other out~!’ So no need for ALL of you to complete the Pokédex if you don't wish to, you can do it as a team.
‘In addition. Since we are doing this on mission of the Pokémon Research Association, we're actually getting paid. For each Pokémon you catch, the data of where the Pokémon was encountered and such will be recorded, and a number of Pokédollars will be transferred to your accounts. Also, assuming you register a Pokémon trainer battle, you automatically get the winnings transferred to you should you win the battle. Really easy, and you don't lose anything by losing, so you don't have to worry about running out of money out there!’ The Pokémon Association has to do SOMETHING so that Pokémon Trainers don't go broke out there. (… And please ignore the financial contradiction caused by not losing anything by being defeated. I feel you shouldn't have to fear getting into Pokémon battles for monetary reasons!)
‘It's also a communicator that can be contacted by both phone and Pokégears as well as other Pokédexes. I took the liberty of inputting the contact information of all the other Pokédexes I've handed out and to my own central Pokédex, but you can register any other people just as you wish. Give me a call anytime you're in trouble and need some advice! I'm not a Pokémon Professor for nothing!’ Kalmia smirked happily, looking out over the new trainers.
‘Any questions?’
‘And with that done…’ Kalmia would then say, reaching over to her PC and clicking a number of buttons, before a Pokéball was downloaded into a small container that we will say that all PCs have on the side. She then took the Pokéball and turned towards Eryn with a smile on her face, walking forward before handing it over to her.
‘I don’t really have a bigger ritual than just this. Here’s your Pokémon. Treat him well.’
- You've obtained Charmander! -
Pokédex Entry #4 – Charmander, the Lizard Pokémon. A fire burns at the end of its tail from its birth, and the strength of the fire indicates its health and current emotional state. This fire cannot be put out, as it burns by fuel from within. It prefers living in very warm conditions. Caution is advised near newly born Charmanders, as they’re not careful with their fire yet.
- Would you like to give Charmander a nickname? -
Here’s an opening for Eryn to take the Pokémon out of its Pokéball and perhaps react to things and ask her own questions while Kalmia smiles happily.
‘Thank you for waiting. We’ve restored your Pokémon to full health.’
She says as she hands the Pokéballs back. She then bows to her customer and gives a friendly smile.
‘We hope to see you again!’
Then, he headed up to the Information District of Worldedge City in order to be able to leave the massive city. Leaving it behind him and taking the south exit, the sky finally became visible again… except, there was still the pollution of population in these watery farmlands, as well as a touch of mystic to the atmosphere.
Route 10
Route 10 is a route dedicated to the sustenance of the largest city in Isson, as well as in large part the other nearby larger cities. Throughout the route, depths of wet farmland stretch under an uncertain sky, where crops grow with unprecedented strength, supported by the might of Pokémon. The air is moist, the plants grow well, and the farmers walk around under the influence of Psychic powers. The roads in Route 10 lead in all directions, the Crossing over the waters beside Worldedge City to the Northern Landmass, through the Mountain Valley to Stillwood Village, or simply west or south to reach the farther areas.
The Pokémon walking about the fields are Drowzees, yet the air has quite a few birds. There are Spearows and Taillows gliding about feasting on the bugs these farmlands naturally attract. Digletts are used to tilt the earth to create the optimal environment for farming, Bronzongs float about causing the occasional shower of water, with Bronzors being trained to eventually evolve and join their number. Here and there walks a happy Mr. Mime or a Mime Jr., the older ones creating shields around the crops and the younger ones trying to mimic them and failing. It's quite clear from the mystical air that this is very much considered quite close to Worldedge City still.
There were a bunch of farmers in the fields as well, looking over the Pokémon and the potential threats.
Pokédex Entry #96 – Drowzee, the Hypnosis Pokémon. It gains nourishment by consuming dreams. Fun or happy dreams are more delicious, and it can get a bad stomach from nightmares. In battle, it puts enemies to sleep and then eats their dreams. It remembers every dream it has eaten, and if you make friends with one it can show you its best dreams with psychic powers.
Pokédex Entry #21 – Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. It eats bugs in grassy areas. It cannot fly very high, but uses its wings to blow insects out of grass for easy pickings. It’s very territorial, and its reckless nature means it will stand up to even far tougher opponents to defend its claim. It has a loud cry it uses to warn other of its kind of danger.
Pokédex Entry #276 – Taillow, the Tiny Swallow Pokémon. Many Taillows are young, just leaving the nest, and may cry in loneliness at night. It feeds off bugs and crops in forests and plains. It’s a very gutsy Pokémon, known to bravely take on tough foes. It likes warmer climates and will migrate during cold seasons.
Pokédex Entry #50 – Diglett, the Mole Pokémon. They live underground and spend most of their time submerged. It’s weak to light, and will only pop up where shielded or in caves. They often exist a mere yard underground eating roots. They’re often raised on farms, because soil dug through by Digletts is left perfectly tilled for growing healthy crops.
Pokédex Entry #436 – Bronzor, the Bronze Pokémon. They were found in ancient tombs, and implements shaped like them are too. Ancient people seem to believe the pattern on their back had mysterious powers. They are closely related to mirrors in ancient writing, yet no surface of it is properly reflective. X-raying it, there’s nothing inside.
Pokédex Entry #437 – Bronzong, the Bronze Bell Pokémon. It caused a buzz when it was first dug up at a construction site after 2000 years. Dug up from the ground, these Pokémon were in ancient times revered as a bringer of rain and plentiful harvest. It can summon rain clouds, allegedly by opening portals to another world, it is said.
Pokédex Entry #439 – Mime Jr., the Mime Pokémon. It likes to gather among people. It’s known to mimic the expressions and motions of others in an attempt to understand them. In battle, it mimics its opponent in an attempt to confuse it, before quickly dashing off while they’re confused.
Pokédex Entry #122 – Mr. Mime, the Barrier Pokémon. A master pantomime, it practices constantly. It generates a mystic force from its fingers, creating an actual invisible wall by stopping air-molecules. Should it be disturbed during its act, it slaps with its broad, powerful palms. It enjoys conning people.
The cooperation here appeared to be that Digletts make the earth ready for harvest, the Bronzongs spawned the rain that gave the crops energy, and the Mr. Mimes defended the crops from things that would eat it. Then the Drowzees in Worldedge City were just so plentiful that the farmers put them to work wielding tools with their psychic abilities despite knowing their dreams are going to be so completely eaten come night.
And that’s how Route 10 worked.
Now, Martin was going to train Durant. Now, with the Steel/Bug combination, Durant was a terror for the Psychic Drowzees about. She also fared alright against the Bronzors and Spearow/Taillows, Steel defending against the Flying types. She also hit a decent amount of her attacks, despite Hustle, and the attacks then did a considerable amount of damage. This was good training against foes of decent level.
Durant grew to Level 11! Durant learned Bite!
… Over there, by himself, stood a fancily dressed man with a large, winged Pokémon near him. He had long hair, an orange hat with a green feather in it, the clothes looking way too fancy to actually dress in when travelling… He was most likely part of the richer cast of Isson, definitely given the ornate sword sheathed on his side. Especially considering his Pokémon, which looked like grace incarnate as it flew. He was battling a Spearow, which looked way below the level of its opponent.
Pokédex Entry #468 – Togekiss, the Jubilee Pokémon. It is attracted to peaceful regions, bringing gifts of kindness and blessings to those who respect the rights of others and avoid needless strife. It avoids places of strife, and has as such only been seen very rarely in Isson in recent years.
'C'mon, you will be mine!' called the trainer, throwing a Pokéball. The Pokéball hits the Spearow, and it falls and bounces on the ground.
'C'mon, c'mon...!' the trainer urged, his fists closing as he frowned at the rolling Pokéball, his look intense...
CRASH! Spearow jumped out, looking towards the trainer a little oddly.
'AUGH!' the trainer sounded out. 'Parvati, we must weaken him! Use Air Slash!' he called. Togekiss waved its powerful wings, and soared forth, striking the Spearow with a massive wind-slice from the full power of its wings! … Spearow flew across the entirety of the fields and fainted!
'NO!' the trainer called out, falling down to his knees. There were seemingly tears in his eyes. 'Why am I like this...?' … And with that, he started openly sobbing, his Togekiss floating over with an extremely sad look in its eyes looking at his downed master, as if feeling really guilty about that despite not having held back at all.
… Well, that's a thing! What does Martin do now?
1. Find Pokémon. Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search. 2. Train Pokémon. With this command, we can jump ahead in time and skip posting about grinding. 3. Seek trainers. There are people around, travellers going along Route 10 towards Freecape or Raremine, or just the farmers exists too. 4. Talk. People can be chatted with. 5. Move along. Move along normally, letting any events that may come happen naturally. 6. Hurry along. Intentionally avoid confrontations and try to get safely to the next destination. 7. Specify. If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result. 8. Trigger random event. Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you. 9. Weird noble with Togekiss. … If Martin sees reason to associate with this guy, suppose he could.
Connected areas: Route 13. North-west, a dark route where electric-types gather for the nearby power-plant. Leads to Bigfjord City and further west. Worldedge City. North, the largest city in Isson, divided into many districts on top of one another made possible by Mt. Edge’s crooked physics. Crossing. East, a simple bridge over to Route 18 for those who don’t want to walk through Worldedge City and Mt. Edge. Mountain Valley. West, a passage between the ranges Mt. Strength and Mt. Chill, leading directly to Stillwood Village. Freecape Town. South-east, a cliffside town with excellent view and many birds. Home of the Freecape Ferrymen. Route 8. South, a pleasant cliffside walkway with hilly terrain and great view over the waters.
‘Oh, the cactuses? Well, there’s two of them. Cacnea is the most common, small cactuses with limbs and yellow flowers on their heads, you’re going to see quite a few in a normal trip through the desert without problem. If you have trouble finding one, for some reason, try smelling for the strong aroma it uses to attract prey, you can’t miss it if one’s nearby. Its evolution is Cacturne, a Grass/Dark type, and it comes out hunting at night. They’re strong and hostile. Avoid messing with those, unless you’re really confident.
The other is Maractus, pure grass-type, no evolutions, pretty strong. There are considerably fewer of them in the desert, but if one’s close you’ll hear it. It produces a maracas-like sound as it dances to its own beat. They’re pretty cool. But, be careful if you’re going after one! You can’t predict what level it is by looking at it! It might be anything from newborn to a stone-cold destructive elite of the desert! Hahaha!’
So sounded the advice on the cactuses of Route 7. Dawkin then headed out, and assumingly he had apparently spent quite a bit of time in the Miner’s Hangout because Amelia had intentionally awaited it to be late so to get Dawkin on the same timeframe it’s now late too. But, indeed, there on this empty street stands this woman with a disturbing aura facing Amelia, who’s protecting a little Shedinja in her grasp facing an opponent far out of either of their leagues.
Pokédex Entry #292 – Shedinja, the Shed Pokémon. A discarded bug shell that came to life. No matter what, its body will not move, not a twitch or anything, floating around instead by an unknown means. It appears without explanation when Nincada evolves. It is said that if you peer into the crack on its back, it will steal your soul.
Angelique stared down at Amelia, her eyes showing no emotion nor hint at how she was taking Amelia’s words. Just the two of them looking at one another, and Dawkin happening to enter the street from the side and then pausing to look for now, and the large coffin-Pokémon behind Angelique. The atmosphere was tense, charged by Angelique’s presence, her cold eyes unflinchingly staring down into Amelia’s, and then…
Dawkin felt nothing. Amelia felt a sudden ripple, something unexplainable to the sense she had typically used to find ghosts. It was like the air itself was dense fluid, and she felt a wave from when something had been sent through it, from Angelique to her Pokémon. A command.
‘GRIIIIIIII…!’ The excited Cofagrigus’ arms stretched forth past the unmoving Angelique at Amelia, arms of shadowy ghastly nature stretching far further than limbs of physical nature could have possibly. If nothing stopped them, their intention was to circle Amelia and grip her tightly in ghostly power, arms circling her and reaching for her arms in order to pry her embrace of Shedinja open, which they surely would succeed with if Cofagrigus got its four arms on her. If she attempted to dodge, they surely would reach for her legs to prevent her running.
Amelia and Dawkin are both free to react as they feel suitable to the coming attack, which Angelique conducted without even speaking, simply standing tall and coldly watching Amelia. She had seemingly not noticed Dawkin yet, but in this atmosphere was that an assumption he wanted to make?
Right. Did not intend on disappearing over the weekend, but here we are. I will be writing and posting when the post is done.
@Eklispe Nicely posted. Alright, since Amelia intentionally waited for the night, I'll just type that he somehow spent a while in the miner's hangout, heh. Okay, now I'm going to be curious for how you react. ... So, what's 7.1? returns later Oh, right, that's the number on the option you're taking in the "suggestions to actions" menu, hah. Got it.
@Joshua Tamashii And... nicely posted. I like the metaphor for Angelique's gaze. Now let's see how I have Angelique react. Teh-heh.
@Dusksong Yupp. That's a nice post. I feel her excitement reading that, and she does seem to have a nice family. Heh, the lab now has double doors. There probably was a lack of description there. Anyways. Nicely posted.
@Pikmin Eye "Martin was pulled out of the cave by a scientific and totally not magical explanation" XD Escape Ropes. How do they even work? XD Alright. Onto Route 10 for training. That is totally fine. Nicely posted.
@Pirouette Say, how are you looking on the posting front? You do suddenly have one person waiting for you.
Let's see. Just because. My two active characters in roleplays.
Wisp is a super-hero what manipulates light within a range of herself, making herself invisible and making illusions. ... Depending on the terrain, she could fare pretty well, dodging, resting up, striking from unexpected angles. If it's, like, Final Destination flat and they're all swarming her from all directions, maybe she can blind quite a few with lasers but otherwise she's screwed. If there's enough terrain for her to dodge, she can do that a lot more until she finally runs out of energy or accidentally bumps into an enemy which then grabs her and then she's done for. So, um. From 0 in the nightmare scenario to, like, 100+ depending on the terrain. She'd eventually run out of energy, though.
Mariette is a dark magical girl who makes portals. ... How are the normal people armed? If with their fists, then Mariette flies over their heads. She then just makes portals from under their feet to way too high into the air and watch them drop out of the skies like flies and dies. They cannot hurt her. That is, until she runs out of magic, then she falls and gets killed due to her low endurance. That said, she's kind of supported by a Mana Font, sooooo... ... ... 1,000 - 50,000? In a really broad range? She'd get really bored standing up there sending normal people to their crushing deaths for hours using her most low-cost portals. XD That said, if normal people are allowed projectile weapons, the match will be a LOT shorter.
Obviously, the universe couldn’t just allow her to hold her little ritual in peace. Even after it turned out the new girl was not, in fact, intending on interrupting during her kidnapping, someone else did. Now, Mariette had entirely expected Sonia to show up in some manner. The fact she had no counter for her was another thing entirely.
The sudden presence of the candlestick hurt far more than the fire that ignited on her dress, the pain causing Mariette to drop the mirror and jump out of the way before opening a portal right over her head through which water from the lake poured down over her and extinguished the fire on her dress. She was fine, the fire had burned off the dress of her shoulder showing her bare somewhat singed skin, but ultimately it was nothing that was going to stop Mariette. What WAS going to stop her, was Sonia’s candlestick, the light of which was causing the Shadows of Asengav to melt out of existence, descending into puddles where they left the area for Mariette to summon once again at a later time, but they couldn’t help stopping Sonia from saving Caroline.
… But it was too late. Asengav’s tentacles were curling around Caroline. Surely, even with her ability to switch dimensions, she couldn’t claim something in the grip of the interdimensional horror, could she? … Turned out, that didn’t matter, for a powerful earthquake which made it so Mariette had to stumble a bit to maintain balance.
‘Wah!’ Eli sounded out, stumbling back, focused on the scene since Sonia appeared. She was ready to fire, but that candlestick had even worse effect on her than it did on Mariette, preventing her from getting close.
The dust settled, and… gone? Dimensional rift, Sonia claimed? … Mariette glared at her, exhausted. Did that mean a third player was getting in on this? … Good lord, did Mariette not feel like that. She liked being the person in the background, manipulating things, and the thought that there was now someone watching and manipulating her was nothing short of humiliating. Sonia went off, and Mariette was left looking annoyed…
‘…!?’ … When suddenly a tentacle gripped her leg, pulled hard, and Mariette fell and hit her head into the shoreline.
‘M-mistress!’ Eli sounded out, worried once again.
‘…’ Oh. Mariette confirmed what had happened with a dull stare into the sky. From the mirror planted on the ground, black tentacles leaked out, one which had stretched and gripped her leg. Twice now, Mariette had summoned Asengav and given him nothing but humiliation. While reasonable, Asengav was still a short-tempered horror that hated when things went badly. It seemed Mariette was trying his patience, and he was most certainly the kind to show when he didn’t like when his champions weren’t performing. Slowly, the tentacle started dragging her towards the mirror, other tentacles moving to secure her from above…
‘… Keh,’ Mariette sighed in annoyance, and a portal to her Hammerspace Handbag opened, dropping something into her left hand. She held it forward to Asengav’s tentacles, which momentarily froze, inspecting what Mariette was holding to him.
A deep red crystal, the one Justine had given her, supposedly able to call forth a monster more powerful than anything she had seen earlier. Mariette had been saving it…
Asengav naturally understood what the item was, and accepted her offering. One of the tentacles circled the crystal, and the one on her leg gave one final hard squeeze before letting go and sinking back into the mirror with the crystal, leaving a black tentacle-shaped mark on Mariette’s leg, a visual warning to remind that she had tried his patience. As the tentacles vanished, the mirror returned back to the transparent colour of mirrors, and the presence of Asengav disappeared.
Hopefully that crystal was actually what Justine had advertised it as, or Mariette may be in trouble. As in, the kind of trouble that would probably be her end shortly.
‘Tsk,’ Mariette sounded out in annoyance as she slowly sat up and got up on her legs, Eli watching her with worried eyes. Mariette had been collecting injuries lately…
She had, since that meeting with Justine; had her body and clothes singed from exposure to the explosion Justine triggered, gotten bruises on her arms and her dress tattered from debris of a building falling on her, a red mark probably on her neck where Caroline had so harshly gripped her, sand and mud rubbed into her dress where she had been thrown into it, had her right shoulder of her dress burned up and the skin under damaged, her left leg probably lost its black stocking and a black tentacle-mark squeezed onto it, and she had to soak herself earlier to put out the fire.
Mariette did not look happy.
‘Wake up Suwako and go help,’ she told Shade, giving her a glare with her not-eyepatched eye. Then, she turned to look at the scene.
Curie looked like the saw going to launch a fairly powerful attack, way over there. Mariette, while exhausted and in pain from the battle that had just taken place, prepared her magic to open a portal to take the attack when she blasted it and send it… at Doris will do, from a portal opening in her vicinity, and just in case it kept going have it continue on into Justine’s castle in that case. And if it wasn’t that kind of attack and it was just a widespread radiation-blast or something Mariette would attempt to open a portal as close to it as possible and put the other end to just launch the effects at the ground somewhere. In some way she wanted to portal that while she didn’t have to think about other enemies attacking her… hopefully.
She did still have small portals around her looking in a variety of directions just in case someone was intending on launching an attack at her.
Eli was still kind of recovering from her victory, and as such simply stood where she had been left, still tired and a little dazed. Mariette had not addressed her at all.
