Hey Kitty! No worries, this game got started quite quickly in any case so none of us were waiting for very long at all.

I'll be taking my customary Light Blue for Blake. Requested Tutor move is Heal Bell, in case it was never noted from our chat discussion, Minty.

Thanks for reminding me, Blues. Everyone, please select a Move Tutor that will be somewhere on this island.

Also, the IC is up. The assumption is that if it's not the same sailor talking to you as a group, then one of them says something similar to you. You do have a choice here, you are allowed to say no.

hm... superpower's the only tutor move for trapinch I'd really want...

but, as a flygon, I'd prefer roost.

does the tutor HAVE to be something we get soon?

It probably won't be too soon. Depending on the move, it depends on if you find the likely place that NPC will be. If someone were to request Dig as a Move Tutor (It's just an example) then that NPC would be more likely to be found in the cave systems.

Also, I'm gonna give everyone else some time to post replies before I continue on with the IC.

well, I really want roost. Looking at things though, vibrava can tutor roost, so I definitely want roost. lvl 35 isn't too late, right?

It won't be too late. I think I know just where to put that NPC that late in the game.

Okay, I'm giving HZ514 and Leahn Novash 3 hours to post IC. If they don't acknowledge the sailor, then the sailor didn't talk to them and you 4 will be doing the delivery. They'll still be in the game, but they'll just be doing a free-roam, unscripted thing until later.

So now that (most of) you have a general direction, feel free to work together, talk to each other, see some sites along the walk, etc. If no one has any questions then you're free to go.

yes I do. I am going to type as much as I can in two minutes and post here to illustrate the point. Let's see what all I can come up with. I'm not totally sure what to talk about so I'm just going to jabber for a while. Gotta say, I'm seeing a lot of GM hints that he wants to side-quest us on this delivery route. Collin is a little one-track, though, so the suggestion to side-track will have to come from someone else. By the way, Collin is named after the guys from the tv show "Who's line is it anyways?" One of my favorite shows.

Who's Line was a great part of my childhood. I always wanted Ryan to win. As for Side quest, I've got another delivery job for you at the Courier's Office, to sort of acquaint you all with different parts of the city, but that's the end of scripted quests. After that maybe a battle or two are planned, but then it's free roam for... a while.

okay, I see now. You're just throwing city at us to keep us from feeling like the path to the delivery station is scripted. Cool with me. You ARE giving us free money for walking from A to B after all.

Makes sense... definitely good to either throw things in like that, or just jump forward if circumstances warrant.

Always was a fan of Whose Line myself, though didn't really want anyone specific to win. It was just amusing to watch.

Also, Lurker, if he's going to have us get pickpocketed, just remember - I has a tracker mon.

Anyway, looking forward to how this game progresses. In the meantime, I go back to having the players in my game fight a giant killer computer.

yes. And THAT, dear metagamer, is called having PLOT find us.

also, DON'T give the GM any ideas about nasty things to do to us. You don't know how many times as a GM my most sadistic ideas have come from players warning their fellows about what the GM could be planning.

I'll tell you that I wasn't planning on anyone being pick-pocketed... 20 minutes ago .

Just wanna check: Eevee, Cydaquil, and Phanpy were the only ones released. Ponyta and Trapinch still tucked away. Abra still back there with Michael.

And we have a general consensus of traveling through the market along the river. Okay, IC on the way.
