It'll probably say it any time now.

"...so? What is it?" Jamie asks curiously, giving Reinholdt's Frank a bright and encouraging (she hopes) smile!
"Endo."
Endo peers at Jamie.
"You are in a strange place for a child."
[Tunnels]
"That's a different name," Jamie observes.
Then huffs a bit more.
"Well, maybe. I'm an explorer, though! I...er...explore stuff."
"Is it not dangerous?"
Endo asks.
[Tunnels]
"Nope! Well, not any more dangerous than anywhere else around here. I can take care of myself," Jamie says proudly.
"How?"
Endo asks.
Cause he's just so talkative.
[Tunnels]
"'Cause I've got magic!" Jamie declares, nodding.
And possibly also a Pokemon, if Earl wants him to be here (possibly riding in a backpack).
[Tunnels]
"You have... special powers?"
Asks it.
[Tunnels]
"I guess you could kinda say that, yeah!"
Answers it!
[Tunnels]
"I see."
It says, before taking a step and darting its hand forward to try and grab her by the neck and hold her in place. Not trying to choke her, just get a good hold on her.
[Tunnels]
Alas for poor Endo, Jamie's reflexes prove up to the task, and she darts out of the way!
Backflips, even.
"Hey, that's not nice!"
[Tunnels]
"My apologies."
Endo says, as he continues taking steps forward when his first lunge failed, taking advantage of the momentum he's already built to instead aim to body tackle Jamie and try to pin her to a wall.
[Tunnels]
Jamie spins out of the way - barely - and slips, skinning her knee on the rough floor of the tunnels.
"Why are you doing this?" she asks, even as she produces her wand, and readies herself.
(And should probably wait to see if Earl wants to have Oddball present)
Tunnels
Oddball is here! He was asleep in Jamie's bag, but then Jamie did a backflip and he fell out and woke up. Standing back up again, Oddball looks around and runs to Jamie's side when he sees her and braces himself. "Oddish!" Oddball cries defiantly.
Any other time, this would probably have Jamie giving Oddball big hugs for being adorable.
Tunnels
"If you do not resist, I promise no harm will come to you."
Endo says, moving fast and sweeping out his powerful leg to trip her.
As of yet, he ignores Oddball.
Tunnels
Jamie would indeed be hugging the adorable Oddish. But at the moment, she's too busy landing flat on her face, having been tripped!
"How about you stop trying to cause harm and just explain what you want? That's what nice people do!" she shouts, not bothering to get up as she aims her wand at Endo!
"I am the Druid Princess Mikani, defender of nature's beauty and leader of pure hearts!
she cries, and transforms - sending a blast of green energy from the wand at Endo. Intending to stun!
Tunnels
Oddish is currently giving off a sweet scent, his position causing a breeze to carry it over to Endo. Should Endo smell it, he may find his defensive reaction times slowing and hence find it harder to dodge Jamie/Mikani's attacks.
Tunnels
"I wish for you to stay still."
Endo explains, the green blast hitting him and slowing, but not stopping, him as he reaches down to grab her by the neck again. He didn't even try to dodge it! Crazy guy.
[Tunnels]
Mikani drops underneath the grab, her hands slamming into the ground.
Willing a swarm oftentaclesstrands of Kudzu to spring forth and attempt to thoroughly entangle Endo!
Isn't she already lying on the ground? How does she drop under the grab? :smallconfused:
[Tunnels]
...her player forgot she hadn't stood up? :smallredface:
In that case, she rolls away!
Tunnels
As Mikani is attacking and fighting, Oddball uses his other move- Absorb. Oddball opens his mouth and seems to suck; if the move hits and is successful, orbs of glowing life-energy will float from Endo to Oddball, and would heal Oddball too if Oddball was actually injured.
Maybe it's because Kudzu isn't natural to caves. Or maybe it's cause Endo is actually quite strong. But he tears the plants off as fast as they entangle him, continuing his movement. Slowing him down, yes.
And some of his strength gets sapped, slowing him further. He turns to look at Oddball. Before marching towards him instead, intent on scooping him up and grabbing him firmly but not painfully.
At least, that's the plan.
Kudzu is too natural to caves! At least this kudzu to this cave. Because the magical drudiess said so. *nodnod*
:smalltongue:
...anyway, seeing Endo moving torwards Oddball, Mikani yells angrily and scrambles to her feet, lunging forwards in an attempt to tackle the...er, being. With a flash of green magical energy. She's attempting a Stun!
Tunnels
Oddball backs away slightly, and releases a slightly soporific Sweet Scent that should make it harder for Endo to dodge, but with little other effect.
Endo is tackled! He's fairly big, so normally this would be like running into a wall, but with energy and strength sapping and stuff on top of that, they go tumbling to the ground.
He has yet to dodge a single blow there Oddball. :smalltongue:
Of course, by falling, forwards, he is suddenly quite close to the pokemon. He takes advantage of that fact and tries to use his left hand to grab Oddball, while his right hand attempts to grab Mikani's arm/wrist. His reaction speed is slowed somewhat from the stun attempt, but mostly it just helped push him over.
[Tunnels]
Mikani cries out as her wrist is grabbed, but she in turn tries to jam her wand, in the other hand, into the side of Endo's head!
If he's unnatural, that might be...not too good for him. Zzap. Unnaturalness-B-Gone!
Tunnels
Then the Sweet Scent Oddball used first thing in the fight obviously worked, and is therefore a tactic worth repeating.
Oddball is grabbed, and releases a horrified "OodiiiIiish!" before using Absorb again, trying to suck more of Endo's life-energy from him to heal Oddball's wounds. Not that there's many, since Endo is just grabbing; maybe slightly squeezing, at least with the initial grab.
More strength is lost! Stop that! He's almost on Mikani's level now. :smalleek:
After asking for clarifications on what is considered unnatural within the Nexus, :smalltongue:
As for the wand... well, it stings a fair bit, but Endo is primarily a scientific construct in origin, with parts of aberration. Not enough for the wand to blast his head off.
Oddball and Jamie might feel a prick as a sort of needle pops out of Endo's wrists and tries to jab them. It's purpose: to analyze their soul and modify his to better match theirs. End result is, he is attempting to mimic their powers and abilities. It'd work better on Mikani with a spinal tap, but you take what you can get. Oddball's just Oddball.
Afterwards, should that prove a success... he'll let them go.
