Yep, I'll post it.

Yep, I'll post it.
Alyssa has 19 hp and because of that, 1 injury, so she's actually legit hurt right now.
Does Leah have a wishlist?
Also, the stats for Alyssa's Salandit are above, under "Salandit Long". Salandit's extended mechanics can be found here, along with the rest of the Alolan Pokemon.
Hmm... I'm not sure... Fossil pokémon are an obvious one, but they're not going to show up outside of actually finding and animating a fossil. Other than that, I think she's content to observe for the most part, doesn't feel any special urge to go catch a pokémon. I guess a good comparison would be Tracey from the Orange Islands part of the series. If she starts getting more active on dig sites, she might look at getting a pokémon that can dig, or maybe a bird pokémon of some kind to scout out potential dig sites.
I'm gonna have to migrate my sheet over to the updated one with the Alolan Pokemon on it, but I'll copy the stats over once I get there. I gotta come up with a name at some point, too, but that's something Alyssa's probably gotta think about.
I may adjust Alyssa's requests list. Besides the Smeargle, I think mostly she'd just be interested in having some Pokemon with very unique moves, but none of those things she wants specifically.
Edit: What gender is the Salandit Alyssa caught? This is actually super important, since it's a Salandit. Also, does Salandit have any unusual moves, or just the ones it would have for its level in the Pokedex? I know it has Poison Gas and Ember since it used those.
Edit 2: My sheet has been migrated to an Alolan version, here should get you to it. Let me know if the link works and if things look about right!
Dude, it's been over two weeks since your edits and I still hadn't noticed. It's totally fine to double post when it's been that long. :smalltongue:
It's a female Salandit. Right now it has Scratch, Poison Gas, Ember, and Sweet Scent. I figured it would be Alyssa's kind of thing due to, well, Alluring, and because Corrosion is a move-affecting ability that I think she'd find interesting?
Oh, and what I came here to post: If Alyssa finishes her painting today (in-game), you'll be free as birds tomorrow. Thinking about heading out somewhere else?
I'd forgotten I had so many questions. :smallbiggrin: I'm excited about Salandit (who will need a nickname at some point probably). Having her gives me some incentive to push towards some different class options than I'd been thinking about before, which may or may not be interesting; I haven't really decided what she's gonna do besides the classes she already has, but I might go into Trickster with Salandit in the party for poisoning and burning.
Alyssa will probably do that if there's nothing pressing to do today. I forgot we were catching stuff in the morning initially. :smallsmile:
In terms of where we go next, I don't think Alyssa has any immediate plans, but perhaps we should spend a day hanging out with Rana and assuring her she has friends even if we're gonna go travel some.
Alyssa's fear of Sable reminds me of one of my younger cousins. While I was at the family gathering, I found out that she's really freaked out by dogs. The aunt who was hosting has two of them, and whenever they came close, she'd try and get far away from them, hiding behind her mum to get away. As the evening wore on, she started getting more bold. At first not running away, then gradually building up the confidence to reach out and touch them, then finally building the courage to pet and stroke one of them (though she still didn't feel brave enough to stay in contact when they turned to look at her). Was encouraging to see her confidence build like that.
I don't have a personal inspiration for Alyssa. I think mostly it was just part of building her character that I thought she should have a complicated relationship with her brother rather than just "he's great and awesome!" which has developed as I've played her.
Is Leah sitting out the next little bit of time?
Working out what to do with her, will likely post something that she'll do in her room when I next post IC. But she is taking a little bit of time to herself.
I am fine with us skipping a bit ahead to when Alyssa is done cleaning herself up so she can go down to see Leah if there's nothing else pressing.
Y'all hear about that new Pokemon?
The one in Pokemon GO? I heard about it but I don't know a whole lot about it.
I'm not a fan. And I'm not even one of those people with an irrational dislike of inanimate object Pokemon.
It kinda looks like it should be related to Ditto. Otherwise, I'm mostly meh about it right now.
Hadn't seen it, it does look very Ditto-ish. Not sure I'm sold on it.
I don't think I've explicitly mentioned it before, but I've always had it in my head that Leah keeps her hair in a pony tail while she works on fossil stuff, keeps it out of her eyes. She'd normally let it back down on her way to wherever she's going, but she won't have just yet this time.
Leah Baudelaire.
I like it! I am not a super great artist but I have a good imagination so I can visualize it I think.
Hmm... I think Leah's feeling a bit out of sorts at the moment due to a combination of things (feeling guilty for Rana, anticipatory worry over how Alyssa and Rana's talk will go, generalised stressing that she's going to put a foot wrong with her growing relationship with Alyssa, arguably with a dose of imposter syndrome for the latter), but is doing her best to not show it. So! I think that calls for a Guile roll;
[roll0] - Guile
IC post to follow pending result.
Unrelated! I'll be away on holiday as of this coming monday, and will be coming back home the same week sunday. I'm expecting to have internet access during this time, but just to make you both aware.
Leah should ask Vaster for relationship advice.
It's mostly a case of building the confidence to ask for help/advice (as an example, how she was when asking Maddy for help with the yukata/make-up). There's no thought more insidious than 'I should be able to handle this, so I shouldn't ask for help'.
Though I personally am curious to know what Vaster's advice would be, especially given how Parkin is with most other people :smalltongue:
She can handle Parkin. She's a Platinum-tier relationshiper.
I suppose I should roll Intuition to see if Alyssa sees through Leah's "deception":
Intuition: [roll0]
Look, look! I found myself a sea urchin fossil! (Early Cretaceous if you're wondering!) :smallbiggrin:
Just think it's a particularly cool looking fossil, wanted to share it with you both!
It looks kind of like marble?
I have a less damaged fossil of the same species at home, they're called Micraster. The thing to look for is the five pointed star pattern on the surface of it (though you can only really see three of the five clearly on the one I found). Here's a complete one (though not the same species) for comparison;
Edit - Totally misread what you said, thought you said 'it looks like a marble' :smallredface:
It's flint, would've fallen from a chalk bed that goes over the top of the cove I'm currently at. Lulworth cove if you're curious.
That's freaky. Kind of like a chalk outline on a crime scene, if a starfish was murdered.
...also, Lulworth Cove sounds like a place named by the internet.
Starfish are closely related to Sea Urchins!
And nah, it's British place names. They can just be weird sometimes. As an example, to get here I had to get a bus from Wool. And later this week, I'm going to Llantwit Major (which, admittedly, is more a case of Welsh place names having too many consonants).
