ROUND 2 has commenced. each challenger stands on one end opposite from the other. upon the scoreboard the audience are able to see the battle between the following are:



[BREAK][BREAK]

the CONTEST BATTLE is a five-minute battle ( you have until the 15th posting round ) in which two pokémon coordinators face each other while continuing to show off their pokémon's style and skill as in the performance stage. just like the first round we will use a point system.

[break][break]

the battle will begin with a fixed number of points and the object of the battle is to decrease the opponent's points. points are deducted by either of the following:

[break][break]

  • coordinators may lose points when their pokemon are hit by an attack.
  • when their pokemon's attack fails.
  • when the opposing pokemon performs a particularly appealing move or combination.
  • when the opposing pokemon uses their ( the opponent's) pokemon's attack to its own advantage.
  • if neither side has chosen to attack within a posting round, you will both receive a penalty card and be deducted points. receiving a second penalty card will result in disqualification.


[break][break]

there will be FIFTEEN POST ROUNDS IN TOTAL meaning each person ( you, your opponent, and myself ) will be making FIFTEEN POSTS EACH. the order will go as follows:


  • your post
  • opponent's post
  • my post which will include score tally/summary. this will signify the end of round 1.
  • first person's post again
  • opponent's post
  • rinse and repeat my post, end of round 2.


[break][break]

with that out of the way. as usual, if you have any questions, please DM ME ON DISCORD. it's easier to reach me that way and if you're confused about anything, please ask. and remember to have fun!

[break][break]
so, with a short summary, adelaide and wren were put against one another because it held interesting plot potential. considering wren barely got by and adelaide flawlessly came into round 2. the audience and judges found the two to be polar opposites. wren lacks what adelaide possesses. the anticipation to see how wren will fair this round will mean that many heavy eyes will be all on her. adelaide is currently a fan favorite, but will wren take the notes given to her from round 1 and show growth in round 2?

"UH OH..." that didn't look good. tyrone watched as the next card was tossed over. a cocky grin, he wasn't surprised in what had been turned over by the sullivan.

[break][break]

arms folded, he shook his head. it was no surprise to tyrone, but that was partially due to his trust in arian's luck. "i told you, it's inevitable kid. the match was already decided the moment you stepped in," he commented from the side. afterwards, he'd call it, "the total currently is: negative two! one more round will decide who is to defeat fate: gym leader arian or challenger sullivan..." turning toward arian, he'd lower his head to allow him the chance to choose his card.

"gambling's so fun." he commented, walking toward the table. "you never know what the outcome might be, win or lose. you don't know what you're really made of until you've taken that grand leap of fate in risking it all." hands slid across the table as he circled it. once on the other side of the table, he'd come to a halt.

[break][break]

his finger pressed down upon the table.

[break][break]

"you know, i should tell you a little secret." he'd look toward the duo from across, "there's an actual way to cheat at this game you know." mr. mime resided upon his back, nodding as arian spoke. "there're several ways really..." looking toward the duo, he'd ask, "do you think i've used one of those ways?"

"oh, it's jan!" picking the jangmo-o up and holding it within the air as if it were an infant. he'd playfully make faces. afterwards, mateo would explain the situation once she was set. with jangmo-o in tow, he'd say, "follow me!"

escorting the duo outside, he'd come to set the jangmo-o down. "it's not everyday you get to see something as spectacular as this." a satchel was seen being held by one of the caretakers of their estate. "thanks!" taking it out and unwrapping the item from the cloth that covered it. he would come to reveal the SOUL DEW to @bryony.

once shown and held by mateo, a beam of light emerged and began surging toward one, very specific, direction. "i don't know where this thing is leading me to, but there're several locations that way. i think i'm suppose to follow it..." staring at the item, he'd look back to @bryony with a gentle smile, "and i thought it'd be pretty cool to take you on a field trip. we might see some once-in-a-lifetime thing or..." die. there was a chance of death. "...or we can ignore this. pretend like none of this ever happened and live in wonder as to where the hell this rock was trying to take us." that was a nice way of putting.

"and if we somehow get lost or in trouble, i'll leave a note behind telling them to look for us in these specific locations. if anything, i'll make sure the note is delivered and they can just follow after us." turning to the caretaker, he'd nod. signaling them to make sure the note is delivered the moment they leave. "we're heading out on our dragons. while you gather your stuff, i'm go get my bearings together." he'd wrap the soul dew back up.

once they were ready, they'd head out.


notes: let's go on an adventure, call us natsu and lucy.

[attr="class","silpl-post"]

"out of the way!" shoving a random teammate to the side. mateo knew something fishy was going on! he'd come to pass @bronze and stand in front of the duo to grace their stronghold. arms crossed, one could see that, underneath the morning son, he donned a blue cape that represented his team color. was seen fluttering upon his back. underneath the cape mateo was shirtless upon the top-half, his bottom wear involved a pair of beige cotton beach shorts. since they were within a sandy field, he had no reason to adorn footwear. [break][break]

mateo wasn't a happy camper. it showed upon his face in the form of a scowl. "i knew you were the goddamn devil's hellhound when i first met you, to force @bryony to do this!" he'd fiercely point toward , "unforgivable, you goddamn mutt, idjit!" he knew he shouldn't have taken his eyes off of her. "i'm sorry, bryony..." he'd clench his teeth, his head shifting to the side. unable to look at the corruption done to her, "you're far from saving, so..." removing his right hand from underneath his cape, he'd come to reveal a bracelet with six ball capsules upon it.

[break][break]
plucking one capsule from it. he'd come to the toss enlarge the ball with the press of a button and tossed it into the air. emerging from the flash of white light was none other than HAKAMO-O. a deep breath was taken in, he was able to look at @bryony once more; though, this time, it was with a piercing gaze. "we're enemies and if you take one step forward, this will be a declaration of war! turn back now!" he forewarned.

[break][break]

note: tl;dr, mateo is taking this a little too serious. but you know how he is.

inside of the casino there is a lair hidden within. unknown to the public, barely to even some of rocket. this is their base of operations, this is their headquarters. casually there within his civilian guise is none other than the head of rocket himself.

an assortment of computers and grunts were hard at work. typing away at the data they obtained from rockets past venture. "i want to uncover what the league could not." a hand was placed gently upon a metallic table before him. cadis, leaning in, said, "i want to be the first to uncover the truth." from the corner of his eye there stood a woman of melanin pigment, beside her a blonde female companion.


SUN-SUN + LUNA


"sun-sun, luna..." cadis called. the blonde, referred to as sun-sun, would ask, "what is it, like, you want to know?!" a bubbly tone rang. luna, following up, added, within a monotonous timbre, "and what do you wish to do with it?" the girls clung to one another. hand-in-hand in wait of an answer.

a gaze sat, briefly, upon the corner of his eye. only to look straight ahead after the initial questions given. "everything." a smile was thrown their way as he'd look over his head turning fully to face them. "and anything..." walking toward the women, he'd place a hand atop of their heads, "for instance, a nice bargaining tool with aether foundation. i'm sure they'd enjoy learning what we've uncovered, perhaps maybe even created if we come to understand the components." which is why he's leaving that within the hands of his scientists.

walking back to the table once more. cadis would make a request, "sun-sun, luna...would you two mind fetching me some more hands?" ordering them to bring SOME ROCKET MEMBERS to the hidden lab. they'd merrily be on their way to go fetch some operatives.

notes: i posted, hehe.

[break][break]


I. GENERAL INFORMATION — PLEASE READ



THE DRACONID TRIBE ARE A CANON GROUP BASED IN HOENN. there's not much detail on them when researching off site, but what has been provided will be expanded upon on pkmn hoenn, which is the initial goal for them being made. should you have a character who happens to be apart of this hidden tribe, please don't hesitate to contact me about seeing how one can integrate their existing characters! [break][break][break]

as you progress in this reading, you will be given the necessary information needed in order get a better understanding of the draconid tribe. from their leadership to the language, from their whereabouts to their origin, and so on and so forth. the intended goal for their creation is to collectively have an understanding as to whom they are and what they're about. [break][break][break]

as an avid lover and fan of the dragon species. i hope to make this tribe very interesting and beneficial to the site. i want to create and expand their story. so i hope you all will help me to do just that.  [break][break][break]


II. RULES





[break][break]

In the distance, those stationed at Lilycove would be able to see a vast army of Megalopolans stationed at various points on the route. More ominously, large obsidian-hued trammels dig deep into islands and point toward the sky like swords. One trammel stands above a seaside town. It has been repurposed into a Megalopolan war camp. Reports say some residents remain there, perhaps, as bartering tools. However, as time goes by, the screams of those unfortunate to be eaten can be heard.
[break][break][break]

Nihilego wander the central part of the route, their tentacles ever grasping. The Megalopolans come prepared with pilfered Pokemon of their own alongside their usual toxic fare of Naganadels.[break][break][break]

A deafening noise like an explosion, roars in the horizon. It seems to come from the islands they inhabit. A chorus of war cries follow. A wave of attacks commences. Three boats filled with Megalopolan soldiers advance toward the beach with Naganadels positioned at their fronts. From their purple jaws, energy builds.[break][break][break]

One Naganadel fires a concentrated SLUDGE BOMB toward the coast, while two direct their attacks to the air. Purplish balls of draconic energy soar into the heavens before breaking apart. DRACO METEORS fall toward the coast, its destructive power aiming to maim Pokemon, people, and vessels.[break][break][break]

[break][break][break]

Behind them, a flock of Naganadel and Flying Pokemon, large enough to blot the sky, follow. They in turn, fire their own attacks: AIR SLASHES, HEAT WAVES and more serve as artillery, before swooping in to get into melee range. Several Megalopolans are mounted on these Pokemon, intending to drop on to the coast (or people) with their stun batons and teeth.[break][break][break]

[attr="class","reward2"]WHAT WILL YOU DO?


SYNOPSIS

ACTIVE MEMBERS






❝ LET ME TELL YOU A TALE about the LEGEND OF THE PEOPLE OF THE STARS'. during ancient civilization there was an indigenous group that worshiped THE GREAT STAR DRAGON. this dragon had been given an appellation, "THE GREEN STAR," but its true name was known as RAYQUAZA. the people of the stars worshiped rayquaza beneath the sky temple. in exchange for prayer and reverence, the great star dragon protected them from natural disasters, wicked disturbances, unwanted visitors, and monsters.


[break][break][break]

and those "monsters" were very real, they served as the source for their natural disasters. they were a danger to their home. these two great beasts fought and tore the land asunder, roaring eruptions, and oceans raised. until the great star dragon, rayquaza, intervened. alone it fought, but did not refuse help from one individual who would be deemed not only its rider, but as THE DRAGON LORD. with their help, rayqauza was able to calm the beasts.

after balance was restored. THE DRAGON LORD fell ill before his people. the power that was used to aid rayqauza in its fight became too much of a toll for their body, their people had lost their leader. as compensation for their loss, rayquaza would gift the people of the stars something equivalent to what their leader gave to him: a piece of it.



[break][break][break]
that's right, as compensation for their leader's sacrifice, rayquaza would grant them a piece of itself—the DRAGON'S BIRTHMARK. there were six. each representing a trait that made a leader, each possessing a role that served the people, each unveiling their relation and connection to the people of the stars, and each mark representing a body part of rayquaza. these individuals would come to be known as:

FROM THE EARTH, WE WILL GROW[BREAK]

ALL OF ME, FOR ALL OF YOU[BREAK]
MAY WE MEET AGAIN

[break][break][break]



a sacred mantra that is used today by their descendants, THE DRACONID TRIBE, as a send off. since ancient civilization, with each new generation, we remained secluded. PRAYING TO THE STAR DRAGON for protection. alas, we will soon need the six to gather in prepartion for THE DARK STAR. protecting our sacred teachings and preserving what's left of our people in order to ensure both our home and the region's safety, our generation must find the six descendants of the gravity children. IT HAS BEEN FORETOLD BY PROPHECY:


[break][break][break]


☐ THE CREATURE BORN OF MAGMA WILL RETURN.[break]
☐ THE POISONOUS SHOOTING STAR WILL SOON INVADE THESE LANDS.[break]
☐ THE SIX WILL GATHER IN ORDER TO DEFEAT THE CULT OF AVATAR.[break]
☐ A NEW DRAGON LORD WILL BE BORN.[break]


[break][break][break]

THE POISONOUS STAR will soon invade these lands, THE CREATURE BORN OF MAGMA will someday return. it had long since been foreseen, approximately a millennium ago, that DANGER WOULD GROW FOR THIS REGION. with the CULT OF AVATAR looming in the dark, THE SIX will be needed in order to defeat them. and a new DRAGON LORD, or rather their reincarnation, must be found for they are the only one who can bring rayquaza down from heaven.

[break][break][break]

with evil on the horizon, the lands of this region and our people can no longer involve themselves with league.

[break][break][break]

I AM ELDER DRACO, the current elder of the draconid tribe and village leader. THOUGH BLOOD MAY NOT BE SHARED, the gravity children walk the earth once more. awaiting for THE LOREKEEPER, one of the six, to awaken them. the moment is nigh, our people and this world will once more fall to darkness if they are not found, for without THE DESCENDANTS OF THE GRAVITY CHILDREN, it's unprecedented as to what will become of this region.

LOCATION




METEOR VILLAGE is a village located within METEOR FALLS and HOME TO THE DRACONID PEOPLE. the village is located within a very tall mountain, to be exact the mountain where ONE OF THE THREE WARS OCCURRED. the name of this mountain is called DRAGONFALL.[break][break][break]

there are only TWO KNOWN ENTRANCES: (1.) the first, and obvious entrance, being the mouth of the cave. (2.) the second, and most dangerous, is the mountain's summit. traversing such a path will require a pokemon capable of flight. it's highly not suggested that this route is taken unless one has gone through the proper training. in order to access this path one must be taught by a draconid member, who are the secret to overcoming the high altitude trek.

[break][break][break]

once you enter the cavern, it's easy to get lost if one does not have a guide. but once you make it through the complex maze, there is a great beauty within the village. there is a total of about 150+ people living within the village. the draconid own a large amount of land. the entrance to outsides is extremely limited.

[break][break][break]

they have an excessive amount of notable places within. PARKS, HOT SPRINGS, HOSPITALS, DOJOS, and TRAINING FACILITIES. the homes within the village take on a traditional minka style. outside of traditional dragons, various pokemon can be found in meteor village; such a reason can be explained within the section of RELIGIOUS BELIEF.. [break][break][break]


LANGUAGE



SKAIGEDASLENG ( sky-ghey-da-sleng ), better known as DRAGON TONGUE, is a language that is believed to be dead but is taught to those born of draconian lineage; therefore, it can be considered a hidden language that is rarely taught. it is the common tongue among the draconid people, but is not their only language. this language does not possess a writing system. this language has a strong connection to dragon-type pokemon, but can be taught to those outside of the species through special training.

[break][break][break]

THE LANGUAGE IS PHONETIC, meaning how it is seen is the way it is pronounced. it's pretty easy once you have an understanding. but it's also not required you speak it or learn it, your character can always italicize, color code, or even "*" what they're saying in order to make it seem as though they're speaking the language. this is just fun for me personally. plus i thought it'd be a cool concept to add.

[break][break][break]

so there's a lot to learn with this language, from verbs, satellites, modals, auxiliaries, etc. i'm not going to go through all of that for a role-play; plus, i'm lazy and spent too much time on this section. this section would take me an ion to write out. so what i can do is this:

[break][break][break]

SACRED ART(S) TRAINING



THE STUDY CHAMBER is a special location found within the depths of meteor falls cave: dragonfall. by entering through the mouth of the cave,(AS MENTIONED IN LOCATION) inside dragonfall one will come to find a single path escorting them to a wide open space. at the center of that space you will find a fountain spewing water; inside of the water fountain you will come to see a plethora of MOONFLOWER PETALS floating about. atop of the fountain there is a statue in the shape of a strange dragon. beyond the fountain you will feel a breeze from different directions, but all that lies ahead is darkness. emerging from that path will be a guide, instructing you on what to do next: [break][break][break]

❝ I AM EJDER and i am THE GUARDIAN OF DRAGONFALL'S ENTRANCE. beyond this path lay many passages. (A.)if your purpose for being here is to gain ADMITTANCE into METEOR VILLAGE, you must undergo three trials. each far more difficult than the last.[break][break][break]

though, should your reason for being here involve a different path. (B.)one can only assume you're here to seek greater KNOWLEDGE, perhaps STRENGTH, maybe TRUTH, or could it be GROWTH? regardless, BOTH OPTIONS REQUIRE THAT YOU DRANK FROM THE FOUNTAIN. for once you do, the trial will have already started...[break]

*if you can survive the DEVIL'S BREATH.


[break][break][break]

OPTION A. will mainly be plot related. so i won't write out the trial for this one unless someone wants to take it for whatever plot reasons we come up with. so for now this is optional, but will be visited someday!

[break][break]

OPTION B. meteor village isn't a secret, but the tribe that inhabit it are known for their rigorous training, secrets, allegiance, and are big on trust. should people come to seek out their aid for whatever reason, they will offer it. but one will leave with both a foggy memory and newfound strength. if one chooses this path, there are rewards to gain from this!


[break][break][break]

YOU AWAKEN INSIDE OF A STRANGE ROOM on top of a bed. the room is decorated aesthetically to match your character. this room is known as THE STUDY CHAMBER, a special location hidden deep within dragonfall. you will come to notice that your attitre is also different from when you entered dragonfall's maw. [break][break][break]

*the attire in question depends on whether YOU'RE AN OUTSIDER OR A MEMBER OF THE DRACONID TRIBE:[break][break][break]

OUTSIDER: a school uniform consisting of a asymmetrical blue jacket with a high collar. two pins on the left shaped like a dragon's head. the men's bottom have a pair matching of blue slacks; the women, same top, have a skirt for their bottom. each uniform is customized to fit the individual character aesthetically and based on their personality.

[break][break][break]

MEMBER: a white robe customized and tailored to fit the individual draconid member. each garb is handmade to, just like the outsiders, fit their personality and aesthetic. one is expected to, at all times, wear their robe in the village or when acting as a representitive for the draconid people.
[break][break][break]

THIS IS PROOF that you've succeeded in overcoming the devil's breath. now you have proven yourself worthy to attempt at challenging THE FOUR SHINING STARS. these individuals are who will be training you. each have their own teaching, each will bestow onto you a gift, each will have their own test(s), and each will judge you accordingly.
[break][break][break]

* the four shining stars and their trials were written out, but i decided to take them out for the time being. they're mainly for plot reasons, and are also for people interested in plotting with the draconid tribe for whatever reason. for now i'll keep the information on them out until there's reason to introduce them.

[break][break][break]

RELIGIOUS BELIEF





THE DRACONID TRIBE ARE A HENOTHEISTIC GROUP that believe in rayquaza, but do not deny the existence of other legendary pokemon. they believe that their god is benevolent and serve as a protector for not just their people, but all of hoenn. where there are benevolent deities, there are also dark ones. [break][break][break]

the dark ones are referred to as MONSTERS, TITANS, PRIMAL BEASTS, you name it. many stories are passed down from generation to generation; each with their own tale and spin. some famous ones are the following: A TITAN THAT SLEEPS IN MAGMA, A BEAST THAT RESIDES BENEATH THE OCEAN FLOOR'S SEABED, THE POISONED STAR, and many more. some believe them to have been born through premonitions, others scary stories to tell in the dark, or experiences that were witnessed by ancestors now told as stories. but with prayer to their god these dark deities won't easily instill fear into them.
[break][break][break]

the draconid tribe emphasize a strong belief that dragon-type pokemon are the origin of all pokemon. believing that each type is somehow derived from a powerful dragon. so, to them, it's not odd for a dragon-type specialist to roam about with a pokemon such as "whismur" as their chosen partner. to them all pokemon are, in a way, dragon-types. such a belief system isn't exactly easy to understand to those who're outsiders and require one to experience their biblical teachings personally from a tribe member.

ACTIVE MEMBERS



[break][break]

DESCENDANTS OF THE DRACONID TRIBE, this is a listing of those who are currently active, abscond, deceased, and/or alive. it is a list that keeps track of those who have some relation to the draconid people. IT SHOULD BE NOTED that your character can completely be unaware of their family heritage to this tribe (IF YOU SO CHOOSE). in fact, the draconid people also have a STRONG BELIEF IN REINCARNATION; therefore, your character doesn't exactly have to have a background saying they were born among them. although, it should be taken into consideration that that excuse has a small catch to it. there are some on hoenn who are unaware that they have ties to the draconid tribe, somewhere along their family bloodline they grew distant. thus, there's a strong chance of you being a distant relative should you so choose to wanna be apart of this.[break][break]

DESCENDANTS OF THE GRAVITY CHILDREN
DRAGON'S BIRTHMARK



DESCENDANTS OF THE GRAVITY CHILDREN



[break][break]

THE GRAVITY CHILDREN OF THE STARS are a group said to be the descendants of the first dragon lord. in legend it is stated that when the first dragon lord, rayquaza's chosen rider, tamed the green star. that individual aided the legendary being in sealing away two creatures that were told to have been born of the earth and the sea; destined to fight for eternity. there are many variations of the story, but one thing that they all have in common in the end is this: six people were chosen to lead the people of the stars, each embodying a power, triait, or skill that made them a leader.

[break][break][break]

rayquaza's rider, the first dragon lord, died soon after the battle. upon his deathbed the people of the stars were left without a leader, due to him never having children. so, as a gift, rayquaza bestowed six individuals with a mark, THE DRAGON'S BIRTHMARK: the HEAD, the TAIL, the CLAW, the FOOT, the WINGS, and the HEART. each of these marks were imprinted somewhere upon their body, and each person was said to represent a trait or possess a skill that made up a leader.

[break][break][break]

these birthmarks are what bind them by fate. without the dragon lord, it was impossible to call upon rayquaza. only these six individuals were capable of making the decision of a leader. just like a star, they would guide them toward a better tomorrow—no matter the cost. eventually, with each passing century, they slowly became nothing ore than a distant memory.

[break][break]

it was said that the only person to remain leading the tribe was THE LOREKEEPER. the one who held the tribe's history in the palm of their hands. it's unknown as to what happened to the other five. history dictates that they eventually moved onto another life. their bloodline no more. it's possible, or rather speculated, that reincarnation is possible. no one is exactly sure how one can go about finding them. even so, the elder of the tribe believes that they're here in hoenn somewhere. AS TEMPORARY LOREKEEPER, he can sense it.

a letter had been sent to @ katherine. the note insisting that there was a rocket seeking sanctuary. a rocket that desired to flee, rid themselves of this terroristic cancer that plagued hoenn. the note detailed that, in exchange, information would be given. one that she couldn't resist. they were to meet within a public setting, a popular that was best made for shady meetups. it was the safest way for the informant to meet with the "league" member.


sootopolis, club arcane
10:23PM


tonight was the night it would all go down. the club tonight had been packed. the partygoers danced, the crowd cheered, the music blared, and the colorful constant flashes of light strobed immensely. tonight was a big night for the guest of honor. once katherine made her way in she would come to be met with an escort that would guide to an area meant for v.i.p. only. of course they would remain in view by the many while katherine sat with the few.

 once there she would come to meet a masked man who looked as though he owned the place. dressed within a slim-fitted suit with a red dress-shirt that stood out to match his mask. cerulean orbs would come to focus on the powerful beauty. a hand would rise for those gathered around to leave the area, just so the two could have their "talk".

"welcome to the playground," he would lean back within his seat, adding, "catalina (katherine) fairburne." he uttered the gym leader's name with an accent to it. though, what stood out most, was that the mask that covered his mouth possessed a voice changer, it could be heard within the tone of each word uttered. "i hope you're ready to be sold a secret."

"that's it."

"nice job, you don't pull punches."

stepping over the soon-to-be corpses. rosario would make his way toward the stored goods. just as soon as he was about to open one of the crates, he would come to hear the sudden cry of a goon upon their communication device. "right on time, let's go."

as they made their way back toward the deck. they would come to be greeted by more rangers. approximately there were four of them, but one different from the rest. it was clear to say that this one standing before them was a CAPTAIN level league member. hiding his face, rosario would come to place on his mask. once, the voice changer within the equipment became active.

 "stop right there!" the captain would shout, "you are under arrest!" the man would proceed to read them their miranda rights. the captain's subordinates would come to surround them with their respective pokemon. "you have my permission to cause as much ruckus and carnage as you want." rosario would speak toward @ mayday upon placing his back against her's.




"those aligned with rocket will be taken into custody."

rosario would raise his hand, "hold on there!" he paused the man, "now that's just rude mi amigo, rocket isn't the only threat you should be worried about." rosario, or rather bloodlily, teased the man, "in fact, putting them in with the likes of us is just downright disrespectful. since they're trying to turnover a new leaf and all, haven't you seen the news?" a lie and then some, but that was neither here nor there.

"and water is still wet. scum will always be scum, and we're here to put a stop on your scummy deeds. we know you have illegal goods stowed away upon this specific cargo. my men are already guarding it, so you would do well to surrender yourself." the men that they recently took care of had been who he spoke of. little did he know they were in the process of taking a overdue nap.

"oh, right...about that..."

and without so much as a command. arbok would emerge from rosario's back pocket. "haze!" a black cloud of smog emerged from the poison-type's maw. obscuring their vision. "you can have the captain, i'm gonna go check on our compadres to see if they've done their job on the other ships. have fun, mi amore!" and with that he would whisk away, arbok following along, and made his way off of the ship.

the ranger lackeys followed the man in pursuit. slowly the black cloud that obscured their vision would come to dissipate. leaving, ultimately, the captain and alone.


note: i'll npc the captain from here on out while leaving rosario off-screen to do off-screen things!

@ mayday
