Exploring Aatos (IC)

[CosmicOccurence]

Heracles' tough hide takes the blows from the smaller creatures without much effect, and the one that attacked Bartholomew didn't even get past his armor. However, Tornadus' own attack was MUCH more effective. Bartholomew lets out a "whoof" as the wind knocks into him. Heracles actually weathers it decently well.

The two re-position themselves tactically and Bartholomew lets off another pair of dark pulses, holding nothing back in this fight. Heracles will shoot forth another blast of rocks, hoping to weather this being out. The two of them just ignore the lackeys, not deeming them a threat.

Your dark pulses barely touch the wind god, and Heracles's attacks don't even make it through his wind shield. He quickly flew forwards and slammed his tail into Heracles while coating it in water, dealing 72 physical water damage. The tornados, merged themselves from five beings into two, and the wind surrounding them was much more violent than before.

You got a couple of weird looks while you ate your food, but you didn't attract that much attention. Even a new face couldn't distract from the dancing midgets for too long.

The empath accepted you thanks and left silently, right as business started to pick up. The place was getting a little more crowded, though not to the point of being uncomfortable.

Returning his dishes and silver ware to the proper receptacle, Janan takes his leave. He didn't want to be around people right now, certainly not ones he has been forced to associate with.

He checks his satchel and pockets to make sure all his meager belongings are still on his person.

The woman mulled over your proposition slowly. She didn't give a ratata's arse about you or Nestor, but you posed a chance to make a pretty nice bit of money. She wouldn't go lower than 100, but she planned to milk this for all its worth.

I'll do it for 200 Gold. Her eyes glinted in anticipation of the negotiation to come.

"Two hundred? My dear woman, did you perchance miss the part when I mentioned how my lord gave the money to his nephew? I barely have the coins to buy a meal! Seventy five gold!" Theo retorts. He plays up the animated facial features in an attempt to endear himself to the woman. He also didn't want to spend too much of his own coins for Nestor's sake. But maybe Lord Tarril would reimburse him.

You entered the barn, and stopped dead in your tracks. A giant ursaring stood in the hallway that the pens branched off of. The's pitch black fur was matted with dirt and blood, and red eyes stared at you as it slowly placed a piece of bloody meat to its mouth.

Tornadus roars in anger as his strength is drained. The wind demons sped around the barrier and sent huge gusts of wind at shuckle. One went wide, but the other hit Etella, who was forced back to the wall. The wall cracked, and Etella smashed through the wall into the hallway.

Tornadus swept around your barrier and fires off his own dark pulse at you, doing 87 dark special damage.

The berry bushes were thick and covered in large red fruits. Many small bird pokemon were pecking at the fruit, although they flew off whenever you got near them, but returned to their perches as soon as they had seen you leave their area.

Slightly ahead of you, there was a rustling in the brush, and a small blue and tan pokemon wandered out from them. It had an armful of berries, which it shoved greedily into its mouth. Then, not paying attention to where it was going, it tripped and sprawled on the ground. The red fruits spilled out, and the pokemon quickly hustled to try and get all of them before any other pokemon came to steal them.

"I just might, miss," Theo whispers back as he takes the young noble's possessions from her. Instead of immediately making his presence known, Theo snatches up the ball containing the ponyta and pockets it for the moment. He lets Nestor howl and rage for another few minutes, and would have for longer if he didn't notice the Madam's growing agitation.

He enters the room and looks around. It's a decent sized room, with the bed taking up only a little more than half the space. There's a few armchairs with a small table that holds empty glasses and a decanter of some amber drink. A large painting of dull blues and greens faces the bed. The bed itself is the main attraction and it's four posts almost reach the ceiling. Thick, soft curtains hang down and the odd shapes of the pillows speaks of their feathers. It was a level of decadence that Theo was easily associating with. In the middle of it all was a still screaming, and howling Nestor.

Why don't you tell me you muking slave.

"That's the word! Slave. I don't like that word," Theo says as he stands up. He releases Torch and mentally tells him to glow a little brighter. With his psychic abilities he brings the decanter over to Nestor's body and holds it high.

"You see, a slave is someone who is owned by their master. They have no choice about what happens to them, or what their master asks them to do. I, dear Nestor, am not a slave. Even if I were, I'm not your slave. I am employed by your uncle for a specific job. To read minds and manipulate circumstances in his favor." He tips the decanter and the amber liquid spills over Nestor's skin. The smell of alcohol burns slightly at Theo's nose as Torch draws nearer to him. He walks to the head of the bed so that Nestor can here him clearly.

"You are not a favorable circumstance. You are a liability. And burning you to death here may cost me much, but it would save your uncle more." He sends an image of a burnt corpse being sent away to Nestor's mind. Once he sees the fear in the young noble's eyes he recalls Torch.

"But I'm not being fair. I'm sure plenty of other people would like a chance to burn you up as well. And that's just greedy of me to do it myself." He sets the decanter back on the table and asks the naked, alcohol drenched noble, "Are you ready to go home yet?"
