The Heights of Londo [OOC 2] - What? OOC is evolving!

[Comissar]

Fair enough!

[tgva8889]

Does Knotte look different from usual Lilligant?

[Hazuki]

She looks something like this, if a regular Lilligant used things like string/styling to look this way. I described it in the post she first appeared in.

[Comissar]

Knotte does just tie her leaves that way though, right? It's not a natural appearance for her?

[Hazuki]

That's correct.

[Comissar]

I think Leah found the whole 'being a footstool' experience pretty demeaning, and it doesn't help that she had an audience for it. She'll be alright once she gets her mind off of it, but I think she's going to be a bit quiet for now.

Also, I think Knotte can do better than Etoile, she seems kinda mean so far

[Hazuki]

Tsareena are meaaaaan. Just read their Pokedex entries!

[Comissar]

Oh wow, you're not wrong. That's just malicious behaviour.

[Comissar]

Changed 'Country' to 'Region', not sure that there is all that much distinction at the end of the day, though

Also, I'm imagining it's pretty unusual to have someone capable of getting as far as the Champion before failing, hence Leah's surprise.

[Hazuki]

Aye, that makes sense.

[tgva8889]

Despite the success of video gamers across the world, I imagine the Elite 4 are actually supposed to be super hard. I mean, in all the anime Ash still hasn't won the league cup in any region!

[Hazuki]

Yep. The videogame protagonists being prodigies is basically the only explanation for how they manage to stomp the League. This girl isn't that, though. She's somebody who'd be Champion if there weren't a Protagonist at the top of every League (Aside from Londo) in the world.

[tgva8889]

Maybe someday a protagonist will be at the top of the Londo league! Probably not one of these protagonists though.

[Hazuki]

Well, my aunt does work for Nintendo...

[Comissar]

Hazuki next champion confirmed..?

[Comissar]

Just had a thought. Professor Hawthorne studies pokémon psychology, right? Would she have done any testing to see if they experience love? I imagine they do, they seem far more sapient and self-aware than animals are, just wondering if Leah could conclusively give a yes/no based on what her professor knows.

[Hazuki]

Sure. Depending on how much Leah would ask questions and try to learn about that.

[Comissar]

Well, I doubt Leah would ask specifically about love, but she probably would ask bits and pieces. Will just have her mention bits as and when I feel it's appropriate, if that works?

[Hazuki]

That works for me.

[tgva8889]

This seems appropriate.

[Hazuki]

I like Awkward Zombie.

[tgva8889]

It earns my views!

[Hazuki]

"Oh, you're an almost-champion, that's cool, but I don't want to talk to you! Leah, I think we should go press our slimy, mucus-covered lips together on the docks!"

[tgva8889]

I definitely tried to leave it open for Sabah to express she didn't have anything to do and ask to come along. I feel like Leah and Alyssa would have just let her if she'd wanted.

[Comissar]

To be honest, I misread Alyssa's comment initially as her inviting Sabah along

"Oh, you're an almost-champion, that's cool, but I don't want to talk to you! Leah, I think we should go press our slimy, mucus-covered lips together on the docks!"

You make it sounds so appealing when you put it like that! And yeah, Leah would've been willing to let her come along, though Sabah might've been left feeling like she was third-wheeling.

[Hazuki]

Dirty girls, naughty now.

[Hazuki]

Alyssa and Leah should get new outfits for their date. Splash some Lord cash.

[tgva8889]

That'd be fun! Is a kimono the kind of fancy wear that would be proper for Londo?

[Hazuki]

Yep, kimonos for everyone.

[tgva8889]

Awesome. Now we have to find good kimono designs for our characters.
