Ash's Island Adventure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLhLrbfrBws)

The RP post has been made with the idea that Pierce and his party is with the team. I'll create character data for Violet and Jeanette and the UmbraLite RP thread sometime today. I'm burned out with posting right now.

[Dracorion]

Huh.

I kind figured you'd be handle Pierce's rejoining from the NPC-side.

You know, I figured people, mostly Impact, would ask about where he was, why, what he did, etc etc.

But yummmmm, naked Ricewoods.

[Menarker]

Interesting post.


And with that, the large machine instantly came to life. Gransrax and his Ruin Pokemon assumed their battle stances. Two large pods on Ginnungagap's large back opened up and two naked Pokebrid women fell out onto the cold, hard floor. They struggled to their feet and prepared to fight as well.

>_> Why do I get the feeling you're practically begging to make my previous omake canon?

[Dracorion]

Which omake is that? You make a lot of them.

[Menarker]

The most recent one with Mollesk using Intrusion on two of Faynoc's pokebrids. The one that made you say you were scared of Renny/me.

On a side note, I came to realize that I might encourage you to allow Leprihare and Elizabeth have fun with Mollesk secretly on the side. Once Renny finds out about Intrusion, he's going to attempt to remove that particular trait by altering Mollesk's training. But with those two's... contradictory advice, Mollesk will continue to use Intrusion out of habit/confusion, much to Renny's disbelief. :3


As for the battle, Those ruin/poison types have quad weakness to psychic, so that can be taken advantage of. Renny especially can take advantage of the fact that his Psycho Cut attack is physical yet ranged damage.

[Dracorion]

Eh, they wouldn't stop at just Mollesk.

And before long, Renny would start encouraging it to use Intrusion more often.

[Menarker]

... I doubt that. But we'll see what the future holds.

Anyhow, I'm slightly confused due to the gap in the story. Apparently Jeanette and Violet is with the group now. That much is said. But in what position? And is Pierce actually able to contribute to the fight or is he out of it due to his beating from Horace? (and you hinting that he might appear in a body-bag)

Also, knowing Violet's form would really help out. Otherwise, the only thing I have to work with is that one of her forms is Beautifly.

I mean, I imagine it will be explained when Drac finishes his post. But at the very least, I'm stating that you might want to include that detail when you write it up.

[Astral Harmony]

I kinda didn't know what you would have wanted to happen or what you would've wanted them to say or whatever, so I kept the post rather non-commital.

Y'know, like "everything's been said and done, let's git-r-done" and whatnot. My apologies.

[Dracorion]

Yeah, Pierce is suffering from a rather severe case of deadness right now.

AB, I dunno. If you wanna add a thing where the Watchmen ask Pierce's group what they've been doing, or not.

[Astral Harmony]

I could, but then I'd hafta try 'n' be all funny about it, like...

Impact: "Yo, Pierce, what'cha doin'?"
Pierce: "Hanging out with black people."

Or more like...

Impact: "Yo, Pierce, what'cha doin'?"
Pierce: "I'm kickin' my own ass! Do ya mind?!"

Ultimately, I'd need to see the rest of that post to sort of get a feel for it.

[Dracorion]

GOD STOP RIDING ME YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

[Astral Harmony]

Boy, you'd better do what I say or you won't get anymore Ding Dongs for dessert!

Seriously, who names a snack cake "Ding Dong"?

I mean, don't get me wrong, they're tasty but...Ding Dong? For real, for real?

[Menarker]

Tentative Battle Formation:

[Charlotte] [Mirror] [Matthias] [Impact] [Kyrie] [Renny] [Lola]
---[Mio]------------[Cecilia]--[Kurika]---------[????]

Out of formation or non-combatants or unknowns:
Whitney: Still contributing but as sniper.

Jeanette: Unknown position and role
Violet: Unknown position and role
Melanie: Duplicate medic (Not contributing unless she becomes Renny's enforcer)
Pierce and his pokemons: Dying/Dead? (Not Contributing)


Need an enforcer for Renny presumably. Guess it depends on what Jeanette's and Violet's abilities are and whether I choose one of them over Melanie.

Only role we don't specifically have is a Destroyer.

This is just off the top of my head. Obviously if someone else has an issue or preference or if there is other individuals who I am missing, shout it out.


EDIT: Awww shit... I just realized that if I use Mollesk's Intrusion on those two pokebrid's, I'm practically raping Professor Ricewood right in front of her eyes. >_> Well, technically her proxies but... you get the idea...

Of course, it's not like I HAVE to use the move... But if it does, I'm pretty sure Renny is going to get lots of dirty looks from her.

[Dracorion]

Use it anyway.

Renny still doesn't know what it does, and ignorance is the best defense.

And after the first use, Pierce and Impact will keep yelling at him to use it because, goddammit man, our lives are at stake here!

[Menarker]

Anyhow, while I'm still waiting for more data on the other characters, I got a short-hand idea for a battle plan which I'm putting here so we don't forget.

Basically, we want to avoid getting the numbers go out of hand. So either the clone machine or the Ruin General is our first target. Since Granx can do more actions, create more units in the same time span, has a double weakness and has lower hitpoints, he is the first target to go.

As much as tooting my own horn is a bit in bad taste, Renny is one of the best ones to deal with Granx. Psychic hits that double weakness for quad damage and one of the psychic moves, Psycho Cut, is an increased crit move, which will do 8x damage if it crits due to how crit works with weaknesses. With Renny holding a crit improving item and Lola buffing his crit chance with Dire Hit, he'll have a 50% chance to deal heavy damage. Of course, other psychic attacks should be directed that way too, hopefully to be improved by Mirror's attack booster. Those capable of using instant death moves should hit the clones to lower the number of strong attackers, especially if Renny's attack doesn't crit or otherwise fail to knock out Granx.

Anyhow, gotta go for work. See you all later.

[Astral Harmony]

Okay, I'm getting off my ass now.

Character Skill: Targeting Theorem - All attacks from her and her Pokemon hit with 100% accuracy even in Fog of War. Excludes OHKO moves.

[Menarker]

There are a few things including duplicates that stand to mind. Sent you the details to check out.

But I should ask the others about this though. Does anyone have an issue with Jeanette's 100% accuracy ability the way it is now? Combined with her pokemon's OHKO moves, she as a Shock Trooper is practically sure to be capable of almost ensuring 100% chance of knocking out two foes of any strength (unless they are immune to OHKOs such as bosses) and heavily damaging a third every turn. Most Shock Troopers would KILL to have that sort of power/reliability. Unless her availability is limited for a short period of time?

I would suggest, for the sake of balance, making the increase in accuracy double. So she is still the most accurate of all the other attackers, and her pokemons can still use OHKO moves better than most people... But her OHKO moves only have 60% hit rating. Worth the chance of the gamble most of the time, but still pretty fair. Their other attacks will also have a higher accuracy rating including those with 50% accuracy doubled to 100%.

[Astral Harmony]

I fixed her Character Skill but that's it for right now.

EDIT: Okay, I modified everything now.

[Dracorion]

Her Signature Tech doesn't have a RP cost.

Also, she's definitely not a Destroyer anymore?

[Astral Harmony]

Sorry about that. Fixed.

But yeah, she's not a Destroyer. At least not until the sequel or something.

Phew. All I can say is thank god that there's only three more characters to go and we should be done for the whole RP.

[Bard The 5th LW]

EDIT: Awww shit... I just realized that if I use Mollesk's Intrusion on those two pokebrid's, I'm practically raping Professor Ricewood right in front of her eyes. >_> Well, technically her proxies but... you get the idea...

I'm actually surprised Faynoc cloned her and not her daughter.

How did they clone her anyways? Steal her hairbrush or something?

[Dracorion]

Or "something".

Actually, if she's as busy as I think she is, she probably leaves DNA all over the place because she can't be bothered to clean up.

And also, there's a fine line between naked hot chick clones and naked ten-year-old clones.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Yeah and Faynoc's a creepy psycho pedophile. I'd totally expect him top do that. Although in the OOC context of the RP I can totally understand why it didn't happen.

Also, do we need a CS for Umbralite, or just some very basic info?

[Astral Harmony]

Basic info is cool. Hell, you could just sort of hint who and what you are in your first RP post. I don't really care. It's pretty much just Pick Up And Play Pokemon Umbral.

Just make sure it's suitably wacky. I want people who don't even know what Pokemon Umbral is to check out that thread and laugh so hard they blow scalding hot coffee out of their nose.

Which I hear is a great way to get rid of a stuffy nose.

And nose hairs.

And probably mucus production entirely.

[Dracorion]

Highly unlikely.

Everyone on NPF already lurks Umbral.

[Menarker]

Seriously, I see people signed in as guests reading as far back as Discussion thread 5. ^^ One day we'll probably be popular enough to have our own wiki or someone making a TVTropes style page dedicated to our antics.


Battle Formation:

[Charlotte] [Mirror] [Matthias] [Impact] [Jeanette] [Renny] [Lola]
---[Mio]------------[Cecilia]--[Kurika]----------[Whitney]

Note:
Kyrie: Replaced with Jeanette (Not contributing)
Melanie: Duplicate medic (Not contributing)
Pierce and his pokemons: Dying/Dead? (Not contributing as of this point)
Violet: Not enough spots (Not contributing)

As before, if anyone has any objections or a different preference somewhere, let me know.

EDIT:
AB: Drac brought up a question of whether the room we're fighting in is spacious enough to have Whitney act as a sniper for this battle. Is it? I kinda took it for granted that it was since you said way back that the big battle would be much more spacious to allow room for just about everyone. But I want to confirm to make sure.

Also, any special rules for when a sniper is also a trainer? I doubt it, but just want to make sure.

[Dracorion]

We can have a Sniper?

[Menarker]

I'm actually surprised Faynoc cloned her and not her daughter.

How did they clone her anyways? Steal her hairbrush or something?

It just occurred to me that the reason they managed to kidnap Myrie was probably because they had a duplicate of her mother to begin with. It's not like they HAD to make all the clones pokebrids. Basically, create clones of Jeanette whom Myrie trusts dearly and would follow simple directions like "Come with me, I got something to show you." Or something like that. Myrie, understandly not knowing that something was up would follow her outside of the house or whichever safe haven she was in.

I'm pretty certain Faynoc isn't too shy to stoop down to lower depths if we don't stop him in time. So yeah...

[Dracorion]

Let's not get stupid here.

There's really very little need for fully functional clones when you have Ditto Pokebrids. As such, they wouldn't have been developed at all. The mindless clones we're fighting now? Yeah, sure, maybe those are justified.

[Astral Harmony]

...Menarker just said something that destroyed my imagination.

Jeanette Clone: "Come with me, I've got something to show you."
Myrie: "That again, mom? I thought you learned your lesson about how difficult life is when you're a woman with a penis the last time you did that experiment."
Jeanette Clone: "Come with...wait, what?"
Myrie: "Or is this about that one guy and you had one of his organs filled with Tangrowth seeds and then tentacles came out of all of his orifices?"
Jeanette Clone: "..."
Myrie: "Or how about that one time where you drew an explicit doujinshi of Sawk and Throh and believed that showing it to people who didn't like yaoi was akin to a Psychic type attack?"
Jeanette Clone: "...I uhhh...I gotta go."
Myrie: "Oh, but those experiments don't even compare to-"
Jeanette Clone: *gone like a motherfucker*
*later in Millenium House*
Faynoc: "What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen Professor Ricewood when she had a penis that one time."
Jeanette Clone: "What the fuck kind of screwed up woman-"
Faynoc: "How do you think I became an insane mastermind?"

...

*trying not to gag* At any rate, no Sniper. It's not the final battle here and it doesn't seem like it'd be a difficult fight altogether. With Menarker talking all that shit, Gransrax should be down in two turns, if that.

[Menarker]

Well, it's entirely possible that Faynoc is paranoid that a Ditto pokebrid might one day cause him a lot of trouble if he couldn't ensure their loyalty for all times. Stuff like impersonating him to get into restricted locations or spreading contradictory, slanderous, or batshit crazy speech that would make recruiting new members impossible if word spread that he was a lunatic.

EDIT: Also, I'd imagine that if Faynoc could make Ditto pokebrids, he'd had them enter PATCA headquarters and start shooting up shit when everyone is unprepared/defenseless or do some heavy duty sabotage and spy work.

[Astral Harmony]

Ditto used Transform!
Ditto has transformed into Dinner!
Ditto used Divide By Zero!
World gone!

How the hell did our threads become so popular, anyways? All I do is post scantily clad, large breasted Gardevoirs...

o i c wat i did ther

[Menarker]

Anyhow, thanks for answering the question AB. It changed my battle plan just a tiny bit. Putting Whitney back in Renny's Enforcer slot as a back-up plan.


EDIT:

Proposed Battle Plan is here. Bard, Dante, feel free to look at it and note if there is anything you feel concerned about.


Formation

[Arceus] [Mightyena] [Mirror] [Matthias] [Impact] [Pacharisu] [Jeanette] [Kyogre] [Renny] [Magnezone] [Lola]


Battle Plan:


Charlotte: Trainer Action Kick the Dog (Arceus +3 Special Attack)
Mightyena: Super Fang Toxique B.
Mirror: Construct Attack Booster. All physical attacks boosted by 2 stages. Attacks Toxique B with Hammer Fall (Dark) for Super Effective boosted damage.
Lola: Uses three Dire Hits on Renny. (Spend 25 rage) Is removed out of combat.
Magnezone: Trainer action Guiding Support to Jeanette's Kyogre.
Kyogre: Uses Divided Sheer Cold on Toxique A and Wretch B. The one move made AOE is boosted By Guiding Support to have 100% accuracy. Both OHKO.
(Kyogre's presence means Rain Dance should be in effect)
Pachirisu: Helping Hand on Renny.
Impact: Rage Rocket to Renny.
Renny: Paradigm Shift > Psycho Cut on Granx. Attack Boosted, Helping Hand, Paradigm Shift boosted, 50% crit rate for reaching Crit level 5 (see link below) and Double Effective for 8x multiplier due to the crit.
Arceus: Uses Psychic type Judgement on Granx. Doubly Effective.
Matthias: Divided Sleep Powder on both Jeanette clones.
Jeanette: Rain Dance Boosted Industrial Pressure Washer on Granx if he's still alive. If Granx is dead, target Wretch A. 100% accuracy
Impact: Attack Granx with Dragon Slave if he is still alive. Boosted with Attack Booster. Super Effective. If Granx is dead, target Toxique B

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Critical_hit#Critical_hit


Overall gist of the plan: Wipe out all but the machine, clones and a few wretches due to OHKO moves and Quad weaknesses in enemy groups. The clones will be put to sleep so they remain pretty harmless. A few attackers might get poisoned due to counterattacks, but the results leave little time for any poison damage to actually set in.

If you guys agree with the plan, I'll make a final draft of it with all the details in full.


EDIT: As for my ESTOC character/s, it's the trio of guys as one character, the Dugtrio pokebrid. Dave and David are kinda like "those two guys" (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThoseTwoGuys) while also doubling as the voice of reasons. Davis on the other hand is the guy who totally is too dumb to live (while trying to seem smart), picks fights, and generally drag the other two guys in trouble as well. Feel free to have your characters step on them just as they pop out of the ground, run them over with a shopping cart as they pop up, trip on them and blame it all on them and so on. ^^ Oh, and he'll shout out things that are meant to be discussed in private and such like that (or say things that should not be even be THOUGHT OF nevermind said). And of course, he'll be gravely offended if you try to talk to the other two and not him. He HAS to be the center of attention, despite the other two being more favorable to chat with.

[Dracorion]

Well, it's entirely possible that Faynoc is paranoid that a Ditto pokebrid might one day cause him a lot of trouble if he couldn't ensure their loyalty for all times. Stuff like impersonating him to get into restricted locations or spreading contradictory, slanderous, or batshit crazy speech that would make recruiting new members impossible if word spread that he was a lunatic.

EDIT: Also, I'd imagine that if Faynoc could make Ditto pokebrids, he'd had them enter PATCA headquarters and start shooting up shit when everyone is unprepared/defenseless or do some heavy duty sabotage and spy work.

Well, I believe AB mentioned that PATCA scouters could recognize Ditto Pokebrids, and there are probably other means to pick them out of a crowd, too.

But for the purposes of kidnapping Myrie Ricewood, one would've sufficed.

[Menarker]

Ah, AB did mention that, yes. I tried to push the memory out of my mind because the alternative lead to daydreams too horrible to contemplate nevermind type in full.

That said they don't specifically have PATCA scouters thus far, although Faynoc could very well make something like that himself (or Horace could easily take one off Pierce's corpse and copy it).

[Dracorion]

You mean, Ditto Pokebrids?

Come on, man. That Google search wasn't that mentally scarring.

[Menarker]

No, something else entirely. Had nothing to do with the google search

[Dracorion]

So, why aren't you saying it?

You say every other horrifying thing your disgusting mind thinks up.

[Menarker]

Well, I certainly didn't know that those particular things fell into the "horrifying" camp. I thought it was par for the course.

[Bard The 5th LW]

School ending, finals next week. Might get an Umbralite post, but don't expect much.

Character's name is Ediz. Goes by the call sign Nirvana.

[Menarker]

Thank you for reminding me Bard.

The Dugtrio's pokebrid (Dave, David and Davis) callsign is Disturbance.

[Menarker]

So, Drac. Just wondering. Are you going to be finishing off your post soon or should I start preparing a post for the battle? I was just wondering if you were planning on adding some context to the situation, like how Jeanette and Violet got to the group, if the group knows of Pierce's demise or whatnot.

[Astral Harmony]

I thought Pierce was currently with the group now?

Great, now I confused. Tell me, Drac! TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT!!

...

No, you can't have Lola. Pre-emptive strike, bitch.

[Dracorion]

Well...

I still haven't given up on PiercexShizukaxChizuru.

OT3.

[Geminex]

I would just like to inform you that I massively approve of this latest development and am happy to have contributed to it.

[Bard The 5th LW]

wait pierce isn't really dead right?

[Menarker]

Probably so. This is the conversation I had with Drac on the edu-pad.

Question is whether he is actually dead NOW or is currently dying but still has life enough for a few parting words or whatnot... We'll see when Drac finishes his half done post.


Renny: good to see you
15:58 Dracorion: Balls.
15:58 Renny: just composing a battle plan, don't mind me
15:58 Renny: not going to bug you
15:59 Dracorion: We get a Sniper?
15:59 Renny: yeah, Whitney
16:00 Dracorion: By which I mean:
16:00 Dracorion: I thought AB said we didn't/
16:00 Renny: AB said we wouldn't be able to use it in cramped locations, but he did say way earlier on that the last battle would be more spacious
16:00 Dracorion: 'Kay.
16:00 Renny: but I'll ask and confirm if this particular room is spacious enough
16:01 Dracorion: Mhm.
16:01 Renny: just to confirm. thanks for bringing it up
16:11 Renny: btw, your post was... interesting in an unnerving way
16:12 Renny: like all the conversations and such with you wanting Enmakki and getting Chizuru and all that just to die there?
16:12 Renny: Makes me suspect you're going to come back to life as a result of a last ditch effort from force feeding you a magatama
16:12 Renny: giving you your next level's upgrade of demon
16:12 Dracorion: Naw.
16:13 Dracorion: I'm not Gem.
16:13 Dracorion: And are you familiar with the term "red herring"?
16:13 Renny: yes, I am
16:13 Renny: and yes, I did consider that you might have been bullshitting about wanting those upgrades all those times
16:14 Renny: when you really wanted to kill him off in the first place
16:14 Renny: but actually admitting that possibility is a bit of a mouthful to swallow
16:14 Renny: especially since you wanted Pierce to lead in the sequel
16:15 Renny: and you can't exactly do that if your character isn't animated in some form or other!
16:15 Dracorion: That was just more misdirection on my part.
16:15 Dracorion: I was really comitted to making it a shock, you know?
16:15 Renny: "Well, you succeded you magnificent bastard." :3
16:16 Renny: I guess Renny is going to have to read your elogy or something?
16:17 Renny: you want something awesome written on your tombstone?
16:17 Renny: :3
16:17 Renny: is Elizabeth your new main character now?
16:17 Dracorion: "Fuck yo shit".
16:17 Dracorion: And yes.
16:17 Renny: so, all of your pokemons are dead too
16:18 Renny: hold on, what about Dialga?
16:18 Renny: or were they stolen or something?
16:18 Renny: I mean, valuable pokemons are valuable
16:18 Dracorion: Not necessarily.
16:18 Dracorion: They're beaten. Horace might not bother to kill them.
16:18 Dracorion: Steal them, maybe.
16:19 Renny: well, I would figured that they would go rogue at least
16:19 Renny: but you did say that only Blaziken was able to fight at that time
16:19 Renny: and it was in bad shape too
16:19 Renny: >_> and why do I get the feeling that Charlotte is going to be smiling from ear to ear?
16:20 Dracorion: It was. Then it got knocked out.
16:20 Dracorion: And she will be.
16:21 Renny: btw, I'm just going to write up the battle post to prepare, but I'm going to wait a bit for you to get your post done
16:21 Renny: cause I'm still confused about whether Pierce has been found by our group yet or not
16:22 Renny: which should change people's reactions quite a bit
16:25 Renny: oh, AB has his ESTOC thread up
16:25 Renny: I didn't notice. ^^
16:27 Renny: btw, I just have one question to ask
16:28 Renny: since your entire leadership thing was one big lie, is Renny leader or are we passing it on to Elizabeth or something?
16:28 Renny: (Well, the part of Pierce being leader was a lie)
16:30 Dracorion: Eh.
16:30 Dracorion: Haven't decided yet.
16:30 Dracorion: I'm sure Elizabeth could persuade Renny to give it up, though.
16:31 Renny: Well, I wasn't planning to have Renny be "all powerful leader" or whatnot
16:31 Renny: if anything, his role might be closer to the "Ace" or something.
16:31 Renny: someone the group can rely on in a difficult situation
16:32 Renny: but that's way in the future anyhow
16:32 Renny: I was just asking hypothetically
16:35 Renny: btw, was there a particular reason why you killed Pierce off?
16:35 Renny: like were you tired of his character? You wanted to try something different? Or was it purely for the sake of the story?
16:36 Renny: it's all fine either way. I'm just curious
17:15 Renny: So... if/when we find Pierce, can we loot your body for your items?
17:15 Renny: or should I assume you used them all up trying to survive?
17:35 Dracorion: Used them up.
17:36 Dracorion: Also, Renny is the last person who would consider graverobbing.
18:00 Renny: well, the situation IS desperate
18:00 Renny: and it's not like they are your treasured goods
18:01 Renny: like a family keepsake
18:01 Renny: and if your pokemons were there, he'd probably take them just to ensure they were cared for
18:02 Renny: but, like you said, it would definately not be anywhere near the first thought he would have

[Bard The 5th LW]

Oh wow. This is... surprising. Kill him on his own sidequest.

[Dracorion]

So dead.

And like I just said, I'm still shipping PiercexShizukaxChizuru. So now there's a layer of horrible on top of it.

I would just like to inform you that I massively approve of this latest development and am happy to have contributed to it.

Well, you didn't, and I'm happy to burst your bubble.

Or are we finally to the point where you're going to jump in randomly and claim to be responsible for the latest shocker in the RP?

[Astral Harmony]

Not much horrible, though. Chizuru is technically dead herself.

[Menarker]

Too bad AB already said that Chizuru doesn't like sharing with anyone. As far as I can see, at best you're going to get some chaste kiss goodbye or something. ^^;

[Dracorion]

Too bad AB already said that Chizuru doesn't like sharing with anyone. As far as I can see, at best you're going to get some chaste kiss goodbye or something. ^^;

If it hasn't been said in the RP it isn't canon.

AND NO AB YOU CAN'T SAY IT IN THE RP NOW I WILL MAKE YOU PAY I SWEAR TO GOD.

Not much horrible, though. Chizuru is technically dead herself.

So Pierce has the hots for a zombie? Kinky.

[Astral Harmony]

I'm not saying you can't. But it will ultimately fall to the ability of your character in order to make that happen.

[Dracorion]

Mwa.

Ha.

Ha.

[Menarker]

Which implies your success rate being not likely unless you can convince them enough to have sex with a soon to be corpose... nevermind a threesome... during a mission... when they know Faynoc is attempting to possibly blow the place up... and it's not going to be a very robust performance given the morbidity of it and that any vigorous action is likely to cause further injuries. And Pierce relationship with Chizuru has been by far platonically friendly and not much else (even if she can see with Aura Reader his lust for her.)

>_> Yeah, I wouldn't count on it.

<_< But people do crazy stuff sometimes.


Anyhow, I'm off to work. See you all later.

[Astral Harmony]

Not to mention that Pierce's corpse will soon become a Headcrab Zombie.

[Dracorion]

... Fuck.

It's Faynoc's fault, isn't it? That dude's a dick.

[Astral Harmony]

...

I think Menarker just used one of the pictures I linked from gelbooru as his new avatar.

An improvement over the Fate/Stay Night one, for sure.

[Bard The 5th LW]

So can I get a confirmation as to Pierce's deadness?

[Dracorion]

As a doornail.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I feel a little empty now.

[Dracorion]

: DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Bard The 5th LW]

Like, honest to God, this is sad. I don't know if I can bring myself to express joy through Charlotte. Between this and Zeb, I'm pretty much sure that you are trying to make me depressed.

[Dracorion]

That's because I'm an evil son of a bitch.

[Bard The 5th LW]

You should write sad novels so I can torture myself by reading them against the better judgement of my emotional well being.

[Astral Harmony]

Dracorion? Write sad novels? Like what?

Renny's Dad: "Renny, I've bought you a baby Umbreon for your birthday!"
Renny: "Yay!"
Renny's Dad: "But on the way home, I pulled a sharp right turn and the baby flew out the open window right into an oncoming 18-wheeler!"
Renny: "...Wow. That's kinda fucked up."
Renny's Dad: "Watch your mouth, son."

EDIT: Konata avatar zerg!

[Bard The 5th LW]

I have extra konatavatars in case Menarker and Drac wish to join.

[Astral Harmony]

Wow.

...

I found what might just be the perfect example of what a sad and tragic novel would be like if Dracorion wrote it. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHxyZaZlaOs&feature=related)

It's so sad, I cried blood.

[Dracorion]

That's the last time I write while sober. Goddamn.

I have extra konatavatars in case Menarker and Drac wish to join.

Yeah, no.

[Bard The 5th LW]

http://sadpanda.us/images/491615-RRQRVZO.gif

You can't resist.

Also bring Pierce back to life please this hole in my heart won't heal

Your tearing me apart Drac.

[Menarker]

Awwww, Charlotte DOES care for her idiot deep down! ^,^

EDIT: AB, I actually found this avatar from another forum and decided to adopt it. ^^ However, I did put it in the same place where all your other pics are hosted, so that's the reason you probably remember seeing it.

[Astral Harmony]

Ah.

...

Ouch. A word of warning, guys: when you discover The Gmod Idiot Box (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2eUUHkpvQA) for the first time like I did, don't just sit there and watch all nine friggin' videos in one sitting.

Seriously, my head is splitting of laughing so goddamn much.

[Menarker]

So, Bard/Dante, did you have any problems with the battle plan I posted on the previous page (http://www.nuklearforums.com/showpost.php?p=1127588&postcount=33)?

If not, I'll start writing up the full details to prepare for a battle post. Still waiting for Drac to finish his incomplete post though. I'm sure we'd all appreciate more filling in on the context, like how Jeanette and Violet met the group and that sort of thing.

EDIT: The rules for critical hit got revised by bulbapedia. Apparently there is no stage where one can crit with 100% succuess. The only method to do so are the two moves specifically made to always crit. Ah well. Still the best plan by far.

[Geminex]

Or are we finally to the point where you're going to jump in randomly and claim to be responsible for the latest shocker in the RP?

Naw. But I'm pretty sure the idea to have Pierce confront his former employer originated with one (1) Geminex. As such, I do feel justified in claiming some credit.

I didn't kill him off, 'fcourse, that was all you. But I contributed to the scene, I think, and that is what matters. And not a terrible scene at that, I might add! Though if you had wanted to make it sob-licious, you should have played up the Pierce/Sam conflict a bit more. As it is, the whole thing fell kinda flat. You generally write best when you're portraying inner conflicts, badass one-liners really don't work, particularly with that buildup (or lack thereof).

But wait, I'm supposed to be gone, aren't I?

[Dracorion]

Well, with all the delays, a lot of things had to get cut just so I could get the thing out there.

[Geminex]

Also, if Pierce really is dead (still don't quite trust you on that), we need a funeral. Private, tasteful affair.
Dibs on the Eulogy.

And okay, really gone now. Got shit to do. Byyeeee

[DanteFalcon]

I only glanced at the plan but I have enough trust in it to know that I'd be too lazy to break it down into numbers and examine said moves and look for an alternative. Thus I'm ok with it.

[Menarker]

Well, I got the finer print of the plan written down (although I did have to make one little edit which I did not catch earlier). AB can at least prepare the battle results. (AB, if you need any help or assistance with the damage formula site, let me know. I can guide you to how the data I provided can be inputted, although it should be fairly simple as I listed all the stats that should be required to input as well as provided the defensive stats for when the foes attack back.)

But yeah, I'm waiting for Drac to finish his post before I make the battle post, since I'm quite sure it'll change the context of how Renny would speak to the others. I'm pretty certain he's going to have some pre-battle conversations or questions for Jeanette and Violet about why they are here and that sort of thing.

[Bard The 5th LW]

If Charlotte gets to kick an Arceus, then I'm cool with the plan.

[Menarker]

That she does. :3

And your stoner dude seems neat. Probably lives a rather blissful if drug-addled existence. ^^

[Bard The 5th LW]

No real drugs. Just a bit of a sensory overload what with the whole "seeing into forever" thing.

[Astral Harmony]

I'll do an UmbraLite post tomorrow.

I'm kinda going crazy right now. That battle in the RP shouldn't take long at all once Dracorion tells Menarker what he's going to do, and I'm not sure what I want you guys to encounter on the other side of the door.

...

In hindsight, Gransrax isn't doing too well, is he? Maybe he should've challenged you to a children's card game instead.

Hmmm...

*sneaks away to find a Duel Disk System that would fit Gransrax's arm*

[Menarker]

Too bad I play children card games too. And I don't play fair. :D

Well, I don't cheat, but for all the good it'd do, I might as well.

AB: One important detail I should mention. In regards to the damage formula site you got linked in your signature, you should put number 48 for the "Level" of all attackers. Otherwise, the damage dealt will be too much in all regards. Renny would do almost 5000% of damage if he crits if you put his level at 100. The stats I gave all characters for future missions assumes the attackers levels are 48 (Although in the story, their effective levels is around 100). At level 48, Renny will do 1692%-1992% if he crits (844%-996% if he doesn't) assuming Granx has 100 DEF on top of his high hitpoints. Crippling and devasting, but not a one hit kill and not overpowered when that is considering all those buffs and quad weaknesses. Granx is just plain unlucky to be pit against a group with several psychic users, which is his biggest weakpoint. Even more so when one of them is a crit-specialist, which turns what is normally 4x damage to 8x damage!

[Bard The 5th LW]

I play Children's Card Games in one way and one way only: with a complete disregard for the rules.

Grew up playing Yu-Gi-Oh on the streets, and I ain't bowing down to any "official" bullshit.

[Astral Harmony]

Menarker, those rules aren't even going into play until after the sidequest is over, are they?

If you're going to do 5000% damage to Gransrax, then you're going to do 5000% damage. Gransrax isn't even the real challenge in that fight. 2500% indeed isn't going to last two turns, if that.

'Sides, I'm sure you guys are tired of being down in that lab. You've all been down there for like, what, eight or so months already? I'm surprised Renny and Lola aren't already married.

[Menarker]

I wasn't applying the rules yet. But I was clarifying that if you use the damage formula, given the data I have provided, you should use level 48 to avoid errors where the damage done is scaled up higher than it is supposed to.

Granx is going to go down in two turns for certain. One if Renny crits since Arceus's psychic attack on top of it will finish it. Hell, we should be able to finish the battle by turn 3 at the latest if Granx goes down first round.

And yes, this mission has gone on for a very very long time. ^^;

[Astral Harmony]

It might last more than 3 turns. Ginnungagap is a tricky beast and you're going to need some smarts just to inflict damage to it.

Given Menarker's intelligence, he'll probably figure it out before the second turn or something, with or without help.

[Menarker]

What would be nice is if we could Fracture it and have Matthias hack it. Then all the clones it pops out for the next few turns would be on OUR side.

We would have to get them each new names and quirky personalities, and we could pass them around to all the guys. Several in fact :3

Jeanette Clone: *Bumps against Renny with her chest* "If you don't drink my milk, you won't grow big and strong!"
Renny: "My size is genetic, not calcium deprived!"


Although Maria being flat-chested doesn't help any... Kinda makes me realize that is probably a big reason/s for Renny being subconsciously drawn to big-chested beauties like Lola among many others in PATCA! :3

Hell, Jeanette could probably use a few extras to do help do her job so she has more time to spend with her daughter.

^^ Too bad that's way too convenient to be true!

[Dracorion]

Yes, I'm sure Jeanette would jump straight into the ethical quagmire that would be breeding clones of herself just so they could do her work instead of her.

[Menarker]

I'd imagine it's more humane than using the clones as sex slaves. :3

That said, unless Matthias can simply shut down the machine after he hacks it, it's still going to be breeding every turn. Might as well make it in our favor and give them something to live for after they help us or something.

*Isn't really considering ethics at this point. I didn't make the machine. I'm just trying to make the best of what it is already doing.*

[Dracorion]

It'd be really silly if you could just hack it.

So sure, go for it.

[Menarker]

I'd imagine I'd need to do some heavy damage to it anyhow. (Down to 30% of its max hitpoints apparently to Fracture it before it can be hacked or overloaded or short-circuited.)

At least, the group will deal with all the threats we know about and can hopefully handle, and we get to see how Ginnuagap acts in its one free turn.

[Astral Harmony]

And I finally have an idea on what you're going to see on the other side of the door.

I think Charlotte is going to hate me.

[Dracorion]

Moera clones?!

[Astral Harmony]

Oh, god no.

Then I'd hate me, too.

Only hot women are allowed to be clones.

[Menarker]

Hehe, cool.

Faynoc is right up there with Burkmont with that idealogy.

Faynoc uses hot women only for his clones.
Burkmont uses hot women only for his Gabriel Force style robots.

Hell, PATCA's hiring standards seem to favor it too.

There is something about Honmyr that brings all the hotties together. (And we probably all love the RP for it.)

[Dracorion]

...

Charlotte clones?

[Menarker]

Charlotte's hot?

I always thought Charlotte's appearance has been more or less understated or otherwise ambigious. Not entirely hideous, but definately not a prize either.


I figure it would be someone Charlotte wanted to kill but someone killed and reanimated before she could. >_>

[Bard The 5th LW]

Charlotte's pretty pale, and she generally doesn't wear clothes that gives much away in terms of figure. To some people that might be hot I guess.

If its a Charlotte clone then Charlotte will not hesitate to rip that fucker apart. Or she'll appeal to it's innate bloodlust and turn it to her side. Two Charlotte's for twice the bloodshed.

[Menarker]

God help us all if that happens.

Arceus: I would if I could, but I'm stuck in their pokeballs. Sucks to be you.

[Dracorion]

It could be worse.

There could be an army of Rennys behind the door.

Oh... oh God. That's it, isn't it?

[Astral Harmony]

Nah, I've just been doing some research.

Besides, clones of any one of you wouldn't really work. I don't think Faynoc even knows who you guys are.

Except for maybe Pierce.

Oh, great. Pierce clones. I guess he had to get Shizuka and Chizuru some way or another.

[Bard The 5th LW]

And Pierce gets to live on!

edit: Army of Charlotte is a go.

[Dracorion]

Yeah, Pierce Granger will never die.

I mean, come on you guys. You really think you'd get off that easily?

[Menarker]

Faynoc knows enough about Renny to know where he lives. He did send assassins to barge in that party.

[Bard The 5th LW]

I imagine Charlotte's done a good job at staying under the radar, what with the whole 'murderous grunt' appearance she's got. Just don't tell her that.

edit: I'm going to theorize right now that the other side of the door is filled with cats.

[Dracorion]

Z-Z-Z-Z-ZOMBIESSSSSS!!!!!!!

[Menarker]

I'm not happy. In fact, I'm tempted to kill Pierce for good.

You insisted time and time again that your character was dead and all that. I made modifications to the database because I took your word in good faith. Deleted stuff which will take hours to put back on again if I can even remember it. And my memory sucks horribly on a good many details, hence why I have to keep things written down.

You pull this shit again on lying about your character status when I'm asked you as seriously as I could for the sake of helping AB and the others and... I personally want to swear I'll make it an endeavor to make your days rather unpleasant.

I hope I have made myself clear how disappointed I am.


That said, your post was interesting, but my anger has ruined all the enjoyment that I might have had.

[Dracorion]

I see.

Sorry about that.

But there was really very little indication at all IC that Pierce was dead. The whole thing started out as a joke on my part, but then you showed up and believed it and I had to pretend it was actually serious.

Had to.

[Menarker]

Let me tell you. The database has already pretty much exceeded 50 pages (Probably a bit less if I changed the format so it was more condensed, but I needed to be able to read it easily). Trying to recall specific details is already maddening.

You could have just PMed me if you needed to clarify something important that you didn't want out on the pad or something.

The good news though, is I had something kinda like a back-up. Not a total one, but a file that I thought I had deleted but didn't. So some of the anger has disappeared...

[Dracorion]

Had to.

And in my defense, I had no idea you would go ahead and edit Pierce out of everything right away. And the whole point was to screw with you.

And seriously, what did you have to change? Free up Pierce's pokemon so others could take 'em?

[Menarker]

Well, I did try to put Tyranitar in the dark trainer's team, since his stats were technically one of the lower ones. And I was seriously thinking on the others but I wanted to finish the other movesets before I considered it.

And I did delete Pierce off the edu-pad status menu.


Seriously, I take updating stuff very seriously! Anyhow, thanks to the back-up the worst is over.

Anyhow, you're in the group for combat? Who is your designated enforcer? Taking Violet? Or going with Melanie or Kyrie? Or is Elizabeth showing up? Or actually is Chizuru or Shizuka available for you to choose as well?

Speaking of Elizabeth, I'm still stuck on something regarding her...

1. Sceptile (Grass)
2. Lopunny (Normal)
3. Ninetales (Fire)
4. Cloyster (Water/Ice)
5. Nagarai (Dragon/Electric)

I don't recall you telling me her 6th pokemon. Or whether she is even entitled to one, given her snagger role means she starts out with less? Need to clarify.

[Geminex]

TOTALLY FUCKING CALLED IT

E:
Hey, Drac. Hope you enjoyed that credibility while it lasted. Cause that is the last good twist you will ever write. Nice one.

[Dracorion]

Liz's sixth pokemon is an original, so you don't have to worry about it.

Yes, Pierce is on the team, and Chizuru and Shizuka aren't available.

What are the options for Enforcer again?

[Menarker]

>_<

Jesus, I just listed your options two posts above this one. In the same line as the other question you answered no less!

EDIT:
Anyhow, since Pierce has arrived, I have to change the battle plan a little to make room for your addition.

Still thinking a little *Still groggy from waking up* but the best plan of action would seem to have Pierce's Metagross attack Granx with Zen Headbutt since it'll be quad effective and get Mirror's Attack booster. Jeanette can instead attack Wretch D with Rain dance empowered Washer. Then Matthias could extend his sleep powder to that Toxique B. Charlotte's Super Fang can be redirected to the Groudon Pokebrid which can then be attacked by both Aria and Impact with super effective ice attacks.

Granx will surely be dead and most of the other attackers will also be dead or put out of commission via sleep.

[Dracorion]

I think I'll go with Violet.

And FYI, Pierce can use two whole pokeymanz.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Dont worry Drac I still love you

*Hits Drac on head.* I'm still groggy for not noticing sooner, but I DID put two of your pokemons attacking in my earlier summary. I had put Aria (Your Nagarai) and your Metagross attacking. I swear your reading comprehension skill jumped out the window. This is the second time in less than a day for such a blunder.

[Dracorion]

You could use Adamantitar.

Adamantistorm won't damage allies.

[Menarker]

*See above*

Plan been modified. Not using Adamantitar, but Metagross and Nagarai will both fit in very nicely. ^^


>_> We got 3 Rain Dancers in the room. Seriously, we're going to have to worry more about DROWNING than poison. :3 (Although seriously, multiple Rain Dancers shouldn't change a thing really.)

If no one has a big problem with the plan, I'll start writing up a post.

[Dracorion]

Well, y'know.

Aside from the fact that I doubt Gem would want Impact using a Rage Rocket on Renny, and that the plan seems to rely a lot on the happy homunculus, I guess it's fine.

[Menarker]

Renny is not a golem and he's not a midget (even if he's shorter than most of his peers). >_>

The plan does has a lot to do with Renny because of the unique set of circumstances favoring it. But it also clears out most of the opposing forces without Renny's contribution (Or rather a minor contribution from Renny's Trainer Action). Also, while the plan HOPES for a critical hit, the damage that is done even on a failed roll is still very worthwhile, so it's not a Win/Lose situation, but a Win / Win Less situation.

And I could just give Impact one of Renny's own Rage Rockets after the battle if it becomes an issue.

[Dracorion]

Yeah, sure. That's the issue.

Still, Gem even sucks at fake quitting so I'm sure we'll hear his opinion about it shortly.
