Drake
Drake takes a risky bet as he releases Myre, sending it out against the houndour..! It clamps down furiously, doing some good damage, and seeming to knock it out... Just before Jack intervenes-
"We're not giving up yet, Runt- Bite through!"
The rather harsh command seems to give the houndour just enough pain resistance to keep standing- As it burninates Myre for 45(102) damage, creating an OHKO!
"That was a rather bold move... A bit too bold, I'd have to say."

Koa
"Heh, I guess not. I can throw up a Wide Guard, too, if something happens."
"Hmm... Much appreciated, but I can take care of myself, really. If anything were to happen, you'd be best off making some distance before you get hurt."
"You don't need to worry though. I think I just heard... Some of the machinery getting stuck. Sorry- can't say more than that without potentially spoiling stuff."
"Anyways... I'd prove it, if you want. Feel free to hit me with your strongest shot- Don't worry, I'm not gonna bite back."
As Fatale is tempting Koa to hit her, though, Koa continues investigating further, looking for what exactly it is that made such a grinding noise... And his intuition leads him straight there, this time around- While he thinks there might be another corridor or two that contains something of interest behind him, it seems he's found a door of some kind... The grinding he heard earlier seeming to have come from it "grinding" open, and going deeper in the maze... As meanwhile, Fatale sighs.
"Ah, shit fuck. Arceus damn it."
"Okay, so... Gonna have to call our little meeting short, Koa." she says, seeming a bit sad as she digs out some kind of device from... Nowhere, really- Placing the handheld "magnet" on one of the tiles beneath them, soon lifting it up..! Dragging the tile over to the side somewhat as she already seems to preparing to jump down it.
"So to give you the short version of what you're missing out on- There's supposed to be like, a robot here waiting to scare you. It'd chase you around a little bit and stuff. But since it's not here, I think I did hear it break earlier, so..."
"Well, I'm gonna go down and look at it, and you should continue... That'll be alright?" Fatale asks, waiting a moment for confirmation before anything else... And also to see if he's going to try and punch her or not.
Izzy
Izzy, happy that nothing was lost, decides to grab the one item that offers some benefits besides being only an evolution stone. But figuring that, besides that, she's not going to be able to solve however she's supposed to get that key... She just continues. At first heading straight back to the exit, but pausing when she realizes there's one more path left unexplored... Might as well see where that goes, right?
Although, she's not entirely sure if she actually
did end up liking where it goes- As, after another linear path, she does find herself met with another slightly bigger room, like the mirror room she had come from not too long ago... But also, a lot of skittering noises, soon finding the source to be that the room is absolutely
infested with spiders. Webs line the walls, and most notably the ceiling, which she can't even tell how high it is without the webs blocking it... Well, actually she can, with her cheaty wind powers- Turns out it's not much higher than the webs, although there are a good number of what seem to be spinarak in there still... As she soon stops investigating, not wanting the rush of wind to disturb them.
It seems there is an open passage to the right, unblocked by the webs... As well as a larger one straight ahead, but unlike the smaller one, this one is practically blocked by webs, and the entire floor seems coated beyond it- But behind all those webs, she does vaguely see... Another idol..?
Alex, Haley, (Bjorn)
Haley moves over to the robot, planning to start dismantling it... It's probably going to take a while, depending on what she wants to do- Is she just looking to try to find the most valuable components and extract them, or looking to salvage as many usable parts to potentially re-use? In each case, but especially the latter, she'd probably be looking at least at an hour-long job to do it...
"Um Sparky, tell us what you are going to do. I do not want to get stressed again due to your antics. Anyways I think Alex may get theough them. Even if he does though.. I think we may need to destroy this ship to prevent others from obtaining it."
Code: Select all
Well, I'm not going to do anything. I couldn't. You'd have to do it. :)
And it's just a suggestion that might sound odd, hence I'd need you to trust me... :)
If you think you can convince Tex, though, or figure out something else... You are free to do so, of course. :)
But for what I'd want to suggest. :)
In one of the yet unlooted rooms in this place, there is a special item known as a DUBIOUS DISC. :o
I'd like you to take it, and... Well, try to force it upon Hopper. :o
Since you're probably asking now why you'd ever want to do that... Allow me to explain. :)
A porygon knows no emotions. It simply follows orders- To the letter.
A porygon2 is a bit more advanced... It can UNDERSTAND emotions- But while it could technically perfectly replicate all these, they don't have to. They can ignore those "processes" as they please. To put it quite blunt, but accurate... They're basically sociopaths.
But a porygon-Z... There's a reason it's called a dubious disc. It might upgrade it's calculating power, but it forces those processes to be run- Evaluate it's actions.
I'm... Probably not too good at explaining what I mean. :)
I'm not that good at it, myself. :)
Basically, all I'm trying to say, is that there is a chance that if he evolves... Maybe he'll understand what he's doing will hurt people. :)
Alex meanwhile decides to get his pokemon healed, knowing there's a healing machine on the ship.
... A ship that can only be accessed through the use of a long,
long rope upwards. Joy. (I'll take an athletics check)
"Oh, and. We want to have a good relationship with the locals. Can everyone endure the injuries until one of them is awake, so we don't go intruding in their house, stealing their limited medicine?"
"Ah. Luna, do you or Beatrix have any energy left after all that mess? I didn't want to say it with Tex about, but I was thinking earlier, if this lot's mother is sick and medicine didn't help, maybe your power would do more?"
"Ah... I can, yes. And... I'm afraid I've pretty much spent all my healing. There is one thing I could do that might work, but... Well, it's something I can do only once or twice- Ever. Given that it's the power to save someone from death... I'd rather hope I'd never have to use it, but at the same time I'd like to save it where I could."
"We'd have to wait until tomorrow until I can cast my regular blessing again... Either that, or if I sleep with someone, then- I mean sleeping with someone as in just near them!" Luna says, quickly correcting herself as she realizes what she might have just implied.
"Erm, maybe you've noticed it already, but... Xerneas' blessing should heal anyone nearby, while we rest. That'll hopefully take care of all our injuries, next time we rest... And I'll take a look at this mother once I can."
Irene
Irene considers her situation for a moment, realizing that there might be a challenge she's missed... There
was another exit at that mirror room, not to mention she never went left waaaay at the start of the maze. But maybe it was a bit much at this point to try and go for such full completion... Placing her idols on the little altar, there is a satisfying click as the door begins to grind open... And her idols aren't even taken away! As the door grinds open to reveal another small room... There's some kind of dispensing machine to the left... And yet another door straight ahead of her.
To the left, the dispensing machine seems as if it will award her one item of choice- Either a "dusk stone", "razor claw", or "leaf stone"... Turning to her right and facing the door, it almost seems even sturdier than the first one... There's what seems to be a vase engraved in the middle of the door, as there's little "spectral glows" inside, illuminated by her darklight lantern- Off to the side is a drawing of the lantern in the question to her left, and to her right, she notices what seems to be... A skeleton key?
It doesn't take much longer to find what she has to do to open the door, either, or at the very least she presumes she does- As she makes a final turn to the right, where an otherwise blank wall becomes illuminated in a pattern of runes... And unmistakably, in it's middle, a keyhole- Revealed only by the lantern...
...She doesn't have a key, though...
