PTU: Ogrun Travels (IC)

[EdroGrimshell]

Noah & Elysia

The slakoth waves over at Noah.

Bandi

The fisherman raises an eyebrow, "the on'y one I can think o' is the bend in the riva 'alf a mile outta town," he replies, "the fishen is sparce, but the fish ther' are betta fighta's than the lake ones, not good ta go at night though, somet'in' fierce down tha'a way, ate up ol' Winkle's blitzle last week."

Cytep

"Use the scraper, looks like a squeegee, to pull out the ash into the bucket then set it aside, the doc will pick it up later, says it's good for calming the stomach when it's roiling," the chef says, not looking up from his work, mixing some egg into a LOT of salt, which is already being placed down onto a stone slab with the fish resting on it.

The scraper is just to the side of the stove, and it's actually a little harder to get out the ash pile than Cytep originally thought, but he manages, by the time he's finished, all of the fish except its fin is encased in a thick layer of the salt and egg mixture. He's washing his hands at this point, "there's wood next to where the scraper was, two logs should be enough, tinder should be in a metal pale hanging just over the logs."

Artemis

After a quick progression of knocks from both within and outside of the shell before the pokemon inside comes out, rendering Tracy speechless and surprising Artemis as the mermaid mon jumps onto Artemis's shirt. Possessed of pearl colored skin, pale blue eyes, and green hair with a heart shaped tail fin and a tiny shell over its chest, it was the typical image of a mermaid, only a little over a foot long, head to fin.

Tracy was clueless as to what the little pokemon was, knowing of every water pokemon in Ogrun. The mechanic, on the other hand, knew that it was likely a hybrid. After that, Artemis asked the little mermaid if it would come with him and it accepted. The pokeball automatically registered the pokemon as a new species, getting the mechanic to raise an eyebrow and Tracy to have her jaw drop. A new species was a big deal, it meant that, not only was the pokemon a successful hybrid, it was also fertile, which was rare even for the most experienced of breeders.

[Haluesen]

Cytep
Cytep worked hard on the stove, and even with it being hard work he never tired of it. And by the time he was done he had a good bucket of ash. "I am really not certain how this can be used to cure stomachs, but I suppose the doctor would know better." he spoke and set the bucket aside.

While he set up the logs and tinder he spoke back over his shoulder to the chef. "So to how many places does this ship tend to sail?"

[passinglurker]

Despite the warning Bandi decides to see what she can do about borrowing a rod from one of these fishermen. afterall most of them are drunk they aren't going to be needing rods anytime soon.

[Major]

"Probably karma for leaving me here." Elysia comments at his inability to sleep. She thinks for a moment as a small spark hops from one finger to the next, "Hmm...did karma punish you enough..." She mumbles as if thinking out loud. "As for him, I figured I'd take him back. I don't feel like babysitting or taking care of a kid."

[Jacior]

Artemis looks at the entry in his pokedex. "Well, I think I'll have to make sure she's not the last of her kind. But the pokedex says I have to input a name. I'm terrible at naming things." He taps on the screen for a moment. "You guys have any ideas?"

[Regalus]

"'Cept that I wasn't able to pick ya up because of the lights, so couldn't have been karma; 'least not mine. Ya know I'd never leave ya hanging by choice," Noah pointed out as he gave the Slakoth one last pat on the head.

"Any way, lets go grab something to eat; we'll go tale the little fella back home right after," he suggested as he turned slightly to the side, waiting for Elysia before heading home for breakfast.

[EdroGrimshell]

Noah & Elysia

When Noah pats its head, the slakoth grabs his arm and swings around like a mankey to latch on and climb up to his forearm, resting its head on his shoulder and puffing out a yawn of contentment. Seemed to think Noah was comfortable. But that display a moment ago showed more energy than a slakoth should have had.

Bandi

It first one doesn't have a rod on him, and seems to still be sober enough to want collateral of some kind, the second though, just hands the rod over saying he was gonna quit fishing and start dancing in the worst dialect of sloshed Bandi had ever been taught, it meant he probably wouldn't even remember lending Bandi the rod come morning, or even five minutes from now, possibly even just five seconds, given what he's mumbling.

Cytep

A loud hissing sound comes from nearby (the kind from when a TV has a snow image) before a tiny, itty bitty cat pokemon runs in and circles up Cytep's clothes to land on his head where it hisses down at something following it, a grey, black, and red creature that looked to be made of burning charcoal and ash in a roughly humanoid shape. The chef doesn't even turn, he simply picks up a hose with a nozel, presses something, and douses the pokemon in water, "that'll keep it from causing any real damage, just get it out of here before it gets ash in all the food," what the hell kind of chef was this guy? "Loki, get over here," the colorful cat pokemon darts off of Cytep, into a bowl, and flies out of it onto the chef's shoulder. It was official, the chef was a certified badass.

Artemis

The mechanic shrugs, but Tracy voices her opinion, "what about Atlan? Like that mythical city that supposedly fell into the oceans a long time ago."

[passinglurker]

Bandi takes the rod and as her granny taught her when dealing with drunks she leaves her name with the bartender and a message that she'll check back tomorrow to see if sobriety has changed the fishermans mind. On her way out of town Bandi will stop by a pokemart or bait shop to price bait, honey, lures, and super repels

[Major]

"Well, at least your smart." Elysia comments when he remarks about never leaving her. "Still seems like an excuse, but since you're saving me the trouble of being a human jungle gym I suppose no shocks are necessary." She says with a sigh as she makes her way towards home. "And the offer of food is a good one."

[Haluesen]

Cytep
Cytep looked on with a mix of interest and annoyance as the cat pokemon climbed up him, but he gave a more focused stare at the other humanoid pokemon. "Well this thing is certainly interesting. Yes sir, I'll get it out of here." He walked toward the ash pokemon and knelled down to it, smiling as he spoke. "Come on now, you don't want to be in here little guy. Let's both go out of here." While he spoke he reached out to it with his senses to hopefully persuade it into going along.

[Regalus]

Noah's confusion was short lived, soon giving way to lighthearted chuckles which eased Thistle's own sudden spike in tension at the slakoth's sudden movement. "Well aren't you a spry fella?" Noah quips merrily with a toothy smile as he leads the trio out of the library.

[Jacior]

Artemis shrugs. "It's better than what I might have come up with. Maybe I can change it later if I come up with something better." He types 'Atlan' into the device and nods at it. "Now that's done. How about lunch?"

[EdroGrimshell]

Noah & Elysia

"Eyaaaa," the slakoth yawns, almost sounding like it was actually replying with a 'yea'.

Bandi

Getting the supplies was easy enough, the shop was open even this late into the evening, some fishermen got up extremely early or fished at night with glowing pokemon. She was directed to the Willow tree that had been mentioned and found her way there without issue. It was after getting there that proved a problem, she heard something breathing, loudly, likely asleep.

Cytep

The ash cloud tilts what looks like its head, steam coming off of it as the water evaporated from the heat of its body. It follows Cytep as he leads it out of the kitchen. It was warm to the touch, and left a tiny bit of ash on his hand that shed and rejoined the creatures not long after. He gets a feeling it had just been curious about the celitty, not actually being aggressive until the incident with the water.

Artemis

The device makes a mechanical New Species - Atlan - Registered. Data Transfer Commencing. Data Transfer Complete. before everything is said and done.

"Um, would you consider the possibility of breeding them later? If you want to propogate the species you'll need to," she doesn't even need to ask the question for Artemis to get that she'd like to have one.

[Jacior]

"Well of course I'm going to breed it. I have possibly the first of an entire new species!" Artemis fingering the pokeball of his fourth pokemon. If he could get them all trained up and work on his own skills, he might stand a chance by the time whoever his father sent after him found him. "Of course, I know nothing about breeding, so it might be some time."

[Major]

"I think you meant annoying." Elysia remarked. "Unless you like being treated as just a jungle gym."

[passinglurker]

Bandi knows she's bad at being quiet and as a result just holds her breath and doesn't move as she tries to figure out exactly where that noise is coming from

[Regalus]

"That's just his way of sayin' he likes me; you're just jealous that I'm comfier," Noah counters in good mirth, seemingly quite proud of obtaining the Slakoth's seal of approval in terms of comfort.

THe pair make their way home in short order; having a light breakfast together before picking up their things and letting their folks know where they were headed for the morning. After grabbing a few supplies to help them through the trek, and changing into more appropriate clothing the pair head out to take the little slakoth back home.

[Major]

"Jealous, riiiight." Elysia comments, "Whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night." She comments. As they set out on the journey, Elysia doesn't seem all that thrilled to be out in the wild and follows Noah with the occasional gripe or complaint.

[EdroGrimshell]

Noah & Elysia

About halfway out of the town, thunder cracks overhead on a cloudless day, followed by an ominous roar. Looking up, all Noah or Elysia can see is what looks like a distortion in space before four shadows come out.

Bandi

Before Bandi can get a good look, a pair of eyes opens from the shadow of the willow tree, one a light pink, almost white in color, and the other a clear blue, next thing she knows is the creature roars and the world around her warps. She's pulled off of Whiski and Sake unwraps from under her clothes, and a fish hits her in the face. Then she gets a feeling of falling.

Artemis

"We 'ave a breeder on board, bu' he's taken ill recen'ly, it'd be a bad idea to le' him handle the breeding," the Mechanic comments, "I know tha' Tracy 'ere knows how to breed pokemon, even if she's not a specialist in the field. Considering the noise from her room I think she's a lil too into it sometimes though," he says with a grin while Tracy blushes and averts her eyes, embarrassed.

"It's not what you think..." she mutters.

"I know, I'm just messin wit' ya, e'eryone on board knows ya been looking for a man though."

Noah, Elysia, & Bandi

Bandi and the fish that had hit her face end up on top of Noah, Sake ends up sliding in between Elysia's chest, and Whiski lands perfectly safe and sound on his feet next to Rose.

Sake slithers straight down Elysia's shirt then jumps away, ending up back in Bandi's clothing, the fish flops twice on Bandi's face before it gets off of her, and Whiski and Rose turn to look at each other, then back at the mayhem before Whiski starts laughing his flaming tail off.

[passinglurker]

Through the ordeal Bandi's thoughts go something like this. Uh-Oh... Huh!?... No! Sake hold on! *riiiip* great thats another shirt and sports bra claimed by sake... Gak! something feels fishy... Am I falling?... OOF! Bandi is dazed for a moment by her landing, but when the fish gets off her and she hears Whiski's laughter she mind suddenly springs to clarity "Gasp! SAKE! oh there you are girl." she says to the fire snake coiled around her now otherwise bare chest with a shred of sports bra hanging from its fangs "whew that was a close one I thought I had lost you" she says leaning her head back in relief and wondering why the ground here feels so soft, and otherwise oblivious to the other travelers around her.

[Major]

When the portal opens, Elysia tenses up. When the four figures drop down, she starts to wonder if this was some form of attack. Oddly enough it was with a portal and seemed to not be psychic based. However, when the figures tackled Noah and landed on top of him a glare crossed her face and she started to prepare a shock wave. However, when the weird snake thing slide down her shirt, she was suddenly quickly distracted. She tried to blast it with a static charge along her skin, but it was gone before she could paralyze the beast. With herself no longer having anyone on her or near her, Elysia turned back to the people that were attacking Noah.

When she looked back, the girl was still sitting on Noah despite having clearly had enough time to speak and realize where she was. Elysia paused for a moment, but seeing the figure still pinning Noah down annoyance filled her. It didn't help that the woman was in such a limited state of dress and on Noah. Who was this bimbo and what was she trying to pull.

"What I seek is thunder, shock wave!" Elysia called out quickly making the incantation for her spell and firing a blast of electric energy at the woman to knock her away from Noah.

Warning Shot @Bandi. Minimum damage:
Auto-hit and doing minimum so guess no crit roll
Damage: 36

[passinglurker]

Bandi was just beginning to catch her breath enjoying little Sake's adorable smile when suddenly her whole body erupted in electrified pain. Burning her exposed flesh where it struck, and making even her cry out in agony, and all sake could do was look on in terror as her "mommy" convulsed.

Bandi tried to roll away and spring up on all fours like a wild child, but one arm gave way as she was compelled to clutch her electrocution burn as the lingering energy threw her nerves out of whack making her look like she was in more of a kneeling than a pounce ready position "Whoa!*pant* *gasp**pant* we land near a Moldniya patch or something?*heavy breathing**twitch*" its at this point Bandi notices well endowed electro psycho "Huh?*shiver* a mage?*heavy breathing* Hey what gives!? *inhale* Don't you know a person who just lived through a terrifying life threatening ordeal when you see one!?*flinch**collapse in pain*" Shouts Bandi believing the mages actions are completely unreasonable until she just then notices Noah "*piratey sailor swears*... I landed on him didn't I?...*pants* Um.. sorry about that. *cring*You alright?" she says to the pair seriously hoping they didn't hold grudges she couldn't take another hit like that.

Sake looks like she has murder in her eyes as she hisses at Ely but does what bandi taught her and holds back until she's told to do something.

[Major]

A small wave of excitement went through Elysia's body as the small wave of electricity went through Bandi's body.. The reaction to a body as it was hit by a shock wave never got old. She licked her lips in pleasure as she saw the convulsions and heavy breathing. That's what the poochyena deserved for dropping half-naked on her friend. "You better hope he isn't hurt. For your sake at least. If he is, I'm going to have a really good time." Elysia said with a glare that seemed to clash with the heavy excited breathing that was escaping her lips.

"Noah, did the poochyena hurt you? Do I need to fry her again?" She asked her hands sparking with electricity as she looked at the snake pokemon, debating if she should fry it or wait. For now, the two didn't seem to be a threat and as arousing as it would be to watch them twitch and squirm more, she wasn't going to needlessly attack them unless they made a move for Noah. A part of her almost wanted Noah to be hurt just so she'd have an excuse to punish the weird new arrivals. However, she quickly pushed that thought away with shame. She didn't want Noah to be hurt and she felt bad for even thinking that for a second.

[passinglurker]

Crap Granny warned me about these sorts of people Thought Bandi as she saw the mage show signs of being *ahem*... aroused...

Seeing things just got serious Whiski trotted to bandi's side to make sure she was alright "Its alright whiski...*cough**oooow* You've done worse than she has" wheezes out bandi referring to her time in a wheel chair. Though that didn't hurt as "universally" as this. Bandi figured she could get on whiski and outrun the sadistic smoochum but she knew in her state that stunt could injure her more so instead she waited to see if this was going to go any more south before she would try to risk making a break for it at the last moment.

[Jacior]

"A little too eager I think. I don't think she's old enough to breed yet. Don't worry though, I'll remember you when it comes time Tracy." Artemis says, not reacting to the prodding like Tracy had. "That's assuming that time ever comes..." He mutters to himself as he seems to lose focus on the current conversation, looking into the distance.

[Regalus]

Noah paused in mid step to the questioning glances of those around him as a strange sensation tickled the back of his neck, urging the boy to turn his sights skyward as a great tear opened in the sky above. The young man had barely a moment to utter a questioning grunt before a quartet of strangwrs poured forth from its yawning maw, only to be cushioned by his and roses bodies eliciting a grunt of pain and surprise from both.

The sudden crash left him stunned, yet the all too familiar sent of Ozone called forth a much needed surge of adrenaline to clear his mind; soon springing to his feet despite the dull ache in his head and back, before tacking stock of the situation as his gaze darted wildly about the field.

Terrain? Unmarred, no sign of damage or Move use beyond the faint smell of Ozone. No attacks presently being directed at or around him.

Thistle? Fur ruffled, and hissing at a Tindratl defensively but otherwise fine.

Slakoth? Awake, but otherwise alright.

Rose? Startled and confused, but otherwise well.

Elysia?Unharmed though in one of her moods. Gifting strawberries and chocolate upon return highly recommended to pacify.

With the lack of panic in the area and his companions well Noah finally turned his gaze, and was not pleased by what he saw. A half naked girl, shorter than Elysia, with electrical burns on her body, struggling to breathe; let alone hold herself up while her weapon laid sheathed in her scabbard, and no appearant intent to change the fact. Shocked at her state and the lack of combat around him it took his name being called to fully snap him out of his dazed state.

"What the hell Elysia?!" he roared as he shot the young woman a glare that managed to convey both relief at her well being and reprimanded her once the full realization of the damage she'd done sunk in. To her credit Noah knew his companion could have done far worse if she'd meant true harm, but given her apparent target her response still appeared to be a hair too excessive in his eyes.

Whipping his gaze around to the fallen girl, his eyes filled with guilt and concern as locked eyes with her, "I know this fuster cluck just happened, and you have no idea what's going on; but I can make the pain go away if you let me," Noah said sincerely as he slowly approached the fallen girl; keeping his stance low and as nonthreatening as possible despite the nervous energy the hummed within him, hoping to avoid them from classifying him as a threat to be dealt with in defense of their trainer.

[Major]

"You're helping the bimbo?!" Elysia said surprised, "What the hell? She dropped down and tackled you! Forget about her, are YOU ok?" She asked annoyed. More electricity started hopping along her fingers, "Did you hit your head?" She asked. "If she hurt you, I'm going to do worse."

[passinglurker]

After seeing the girl mage "get off" to Bandi's pain and agony she wasn't to sure what to think of the other. Afterall Granny said that not all perverts fly solo, but if he was up to no good then turning him down would mean he'd just let the girl mage finish her off, and running was very much an option of last resort. With all this in mind Bandi took a deep shaky breath "Well I guess I don't have much of a choice*pant* other than do what you say.*heavy breathing*" she said as Sake kept coiled around Bandi's chest and flicked its forked tongue as if protecting the slender breasts and modesty that were not on bandi's mind at the moment despite her concern about perverts.

[Regalus]

"I'm fine Elysia," he uttered tensely as he turned his head slightly to the side, enough to gaze at the young mage from the corner of his eyes. "She on the other hand needs to have her wounds tended now before she makes them worse," he stated poignantly letting his frustration known.

"Battle field assessment," he intoned somberly, the words 'till odd to his tongue despite how long ago Elysia had pointed out the phrase, "That's the first thing I taught you darn it!,

"This girl's unarmored, all of her pokemon fell all over the place including a freaking ponyta and a magikarp! If she were setting up an ambush, she would've setup camp up hill and used her tindratl to sneak up on us before charging our asses; not to mention she hasn't even moved for her weapon yet," he reasoned, stopping his advance to turn to the woman. "There's not a cliff anywhere near here, and ponyta's aren't built to ambush from trees. If she wanted to ambush us, she would've waited around the bend, and attacked while we rested on ponyta back. That and I saw her falling from the sky; we weren't ambushed Elysia, she and her mon were dropped her like a sack of potatoes!"

"Now then, this is what's going to happen. I'm going to help her, and unless she tries to actually mug us you are not going to hurt her, or her mon understood?" he said firmly in a tone that left little room to argue as he approached Bandi, and kneeled at her side; mindful of Sake as he placed a hand on her bare back and his expression softened considerably.

"Okay. I'm going to need you to lean back for a moment, and relax alright?" he asked warmly, waiting for her permission before doing anything.

[Major]

Elysia frowns, "I did access it! She was on top of you and showed little intentions of getting up even after she'd landed and realized she was around. If it was an accident and she had no ill intent she had plenty of time to get up before I shocked her! Instead she took time to carry on a conversation with her nasty perverted viper. Besides, she's still alive, I didn't kill her!" She wasn't too thrilled and glared daggers at Noah. "I don't need you to lecture me!" She said with a frown, "I was helping you and you start yelling at me?" She asked. She crossed her arms and glared at Bandi and mutters under her breath, "Bimbo touches you at all and I'll fry her..." She grumbled.
