Haley
Haley starts her work on the potion, sadly finding that this particular application IS medicine...
Even though in hindsight I might agree with the point made, I'm not going to change it when everyone else had to use that roll as well. Though luckily, the note she found earlier helps a lot, even though this whole thing is testing stuff she's never studied on... Or worse, actively chose to ignore. She thinks she does a respectable job of it all, though, not always managing to directly translate, but managing to deduce the ingredient required none the less... Leaving just a couple guesses. At the end she's left with a mostly clear, green liquid that ends up in the vial... Leaving her to guess what is to be done with it, as the reaper animatronic is more than willing to answer for her:
"DRINK."
Izzy
"...wow. I'd almost forgotten what it was like to not hurt everywhere!"
The nurse chuckles a bit awkwardly, shaking her head.
"Well dear, try to keep it that way then..! I'd hate to see you get back in here... There's only so much even I can do!'
"Thank you so much, Miss...Nurse? I'm Izzy, by the way."
"Ah, apologies... The name's Uyum- It's a pleasure to meet you, Izzy!"
Bruce, Izzy
So, two hunters and two fighters. That'll be good. I want a little extra something, but it'll be tough to find anything special in the city. And I doubt that we have time for a trip outside. I'd be nice to have a flying type, so a Zubat would be cool. Really, any poison type, other than Muk and Koffing. And... no Trubbish either.
"I think we got time for a short expedition if we really want it... It's only early afternoon- Though yeah, I don't think we should stretch too far from city limits if we're afraid something's gonna happen tonight..."
"So what's the plan? I've got some stuff I want to do with my guys, but I'll join you if you want to go out and train instead. Oh, did you all see that message from Alex? They made it to Murkoff a little while ago. I told them to meet us at the Motel later, but if Grimm's back it might be a good idea to talk sooner."
"Erm, yeah, I just noticed his message... I'm pretty sure he's done now? We can go meet with him first, then go hunt, it... Seems important..."
"Hmm, nothing particular, I usually don't look for particular species but rather extraordinary specimens. Where did you get your pokemon healed here?" Drake asks, getting his pokemon healed... Before taking a brief moment to investigate the staff with Koa around a corner- On Koa's discretion, not touching the staff, though that does make it a lot more difficult to figure out what's going on with it... Like- A LOT harder. Thinking about what could cause a magic weapon to "reject" an user, though, he does remember a bit of trivia he once learnt about, in that a magical weapon can have a tiny bit of "sentience" attached to it... Which in turn, could potentially be instructed to reject certain users unless they meet a criteria..?
That raises the question of WHAT that criteria is, though... Or if it can be... Reasoned with? Tricked? Circumvented? What would you even do to achieve that with an inaminate object?
The only way for him to try and figure out more of what the staff might be able to do is to risk grabbing it and whatever it might do while trying to figure that out... But there is one more thing he can observe just from a safe distance- It doesn't have a psychic signature. At least, it doesn't have one lingering from usage recently enough, which means one thing: it's not the source of what has been affecting everyone.
► Show Spoiler
Yeah, we can say that Alex can join in and you guys deal with what they discovered, and in the meantime I can even deal with Koa's tutoring, then do a expedition trying to find pokemon while the others try to finish the gym..?
Alex
"I'd appreciate it if you could see fit to do so. At the moment I'm just feeling things out by intuition; a weak ability to send and sometimes receive thoughts, and the ability to see auras that I can't ignore, I haven't worked out anything else yet."
"Yes... Tomorrow, however. I'm afraid there's simply... A lot of other things for me to do today."
Following that, Alex also finally gets a response from Jeremy..!
Code: Select all
Hey, should be available now- Where do you and Luna want to meet..?
Koa
Koa leaves on his own for now, intent on visiting this tutor... The address given to him leading to a small, run-down looking building. Leaving him to second guess whether he should double check just in case, eventually knocking... The smell of smoke wafting out as a scrawny little man, cigarette in his off hand, opens the door.
"Eh? Whatever you're looking for, I don't have it kid!" the guys says, with an initial rash response to not recognizing Koa, about to slam the door in his face... Pausing at the last moment as the door's pulled open again.
"Wait... You that fella Jack told me bout? You need tutoring for something special..?"
"...Eh, come in. Lock the door behind you."
Bjorn
Bjorn slowly slips through the webs... Hitting a couple strands with response to angry hisses, but luckily not getting attacked by the still angry looking Spinarak. That is, up until he reaches out for the idol on the stand... And suddenly he's assaulted by a good dozen of them at the same time! Shooting their webs, he's soon captured in a silk cocoon as he's made stuck... And a... Giggling? Sound comes from the webs above, before a feminine voice speaks.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm... And who got trapped in my web now..?"
