Well, I mean technically there's Noctowl, Rufflet, and Decidueye, but besides their evolution chains I don't think so.

Apologies for the lacklustre IC post. Received news at lunch today that my grandparents were victims of an aggravated burglary in the early hours of yesterday morning. They were discharged from hospital, but are understandably shaken, and the news has kinda left me out of sorts. Will hopefully be back to normal post quality by tomorrow.
No problem. I'd accept "I'm not feeling up to it", let alone a genuine issue.
Woah, I hope everything's okay! That sounds really rough, no worries about the posts.
Everything is fine as far as I can tell with my grandparents, they're being very pragmatic about it and insisting that I don't worry.
As for IC, Leah's feeling pretty overwhelmed following the events of the evening, Parkin's snap at her is enough to tip her over the edge, with Alyssa's concern just bringing it to the fore slightly sooner than it would otherwise have happened. She's not thinking straight, hence the 'I need to get out before Alyssa sees me crying' approach, despite it being almost certainly way too late for that.
I feel like Alyssa would have a sense of what's going on in Leah's head given how much time they've spent together and how good Alyssa is at getting a sense of people, but I'm not certain if she would know exactly the right thing to say or do to help her. She's definitely trying, but she's not very eloquent and she's not really sure how she herself is feeling so I think she's just trying to do what she can. I think her really simple words might be a hindrance to her here, but I leave that for you to decide! I think what Leah's feeling is pretty reasonable, though.
I also just realized that Inkay is totally a Dark-type and Alyssa should be terrified of Ibib. I think since I didn't do it earlier maybe she's just okay with Inkay in particular for some odd reason? Or maybe specifically Ibib because she's okay with Bibi or something?
Perhaps Alyssa simply doesn't recognize that Ibib's Dark type? I'm pretty sure knowing that requires a check, and, at a glance, you'd think Inkay is Water/Psychic.
Actually, that makes perfect sense. The Inkay line is kind of deceptive by design so maybe she just has no idea whatsoever. It's not one of the Dark-types I imagine she'd know besides Bibi having one, and she never Dex-checked Ibib, so yeah, that works.
I'm glad Bibi isn't here to see all this lewd hand-holding. That kind of depravity would scar her for life.
I guess we'll have to put a stop to it immediately, the last thing we want to do is see Bibi with scars :smalltongue:
But I don't know how to do anything but have Alyssa try to be cute with Leah! :smalleek:
Alyssa can be cute without sinking to such depravity. What's wrong with a firm handshake, or a batting of the eyelashes? You don't have to go leaping straight to holding hands like a bull at a gate!
Leah was already thinking she should apologise to Parkin in the morning. Parkin beating her to the punch in talking about it (assuming that's what's being brought up) is just giving her a real 'I messed up' moment.
You thought it was time for you to apologize, but it was me...!
Apology battle! Parkin gets in the first strike! Can Leah's apology overcome this lead?[/sarcasm]
In advance, sorry if I'm a bit slow this week, my parents are visiting this week so I'm showing them around town a bit!
Hmm. I guess that's a valid excuse.
I mean, I'm still posting some, but in case I'm slow that's the reason why.
I was just being silly. It's cool, yo.
I figured, but I wanted to be clear. :smallsmile:
Also, I assume you meant Alyssa's shoulder in your last post, so I'm gonna write my post accordingly. Let me know if you meant otherwise, though.
The real question, of course, is 'Did Knotte actually do a good job, or is Alyssa being polite' :smalltongue:
It's actually not bad. It's not pro elite skill, but it's good enough.
I think Alyssa is being genuine. She's not starstruck like she was with the yukata scene, but she does think it looks good.
Hmm. I think I'll give Alyssa a chance to help with the Charming before replying.
"I tried my best!"
I guess 10 is, like, almost exactly average on 3d6 so that's not too bad!
It kinda sounds like Rana's got an addiction to the electricity she can channel? Would that be fair to say?
Also, would Leah know anything about her condition from the book Vaster loaned her? I think it was just stories and legends, but sometimes those have a grounding in truth.
That would be fair to say.
Leah's book would have had information on elementals, so I could answer a few specific questions if you have them. There's nothing that matches Rana's supposed symptoms, though. Aside from, y'know, physical changes and being able to summon/channel/absorb the energy she uses, because all elementals have those.
Would Leah know from the stories if there were any Elementals that seemed to become addicted to their power? Were known for using it trivially or excessively, that kind of thing?
Lots of ego, but no addiction.
Alyssa, of course, only sort of knows what she's talking about. By which I mean she probably has no idea what she's talking about at all. But she's trying her best!
I imagine this fits since while Alyssa might know what addiction is, she's almost certainly never had any experience seeing its consequences. At least, probably not enough to know them when she sees them.
Hmm. Not much of a good place for a GM post. I'll give tgva a couple more days before posting something.
