Pokemon Umbral Theatre 20: Where Logic Goes to Die

Or Dinner.
My point is, it's not 'dibs' if it's no contest.

[Dracorion]

Fair enough.

AB, why'd you let Geminex get Dinner as a love interest?

I should note, just to spite Gem, that Impact wouldn't actually be in love with Dinner.

I should note, just to spite Gem, that Impact wouldn't actually be in love with Dinner.

Once again, I am amazed at the degree of your knowlege. I mean, if you had asked me, I'd have talked about how he'd begin by helping her work to control her power via mind contact, and, as he gained her trust, how he'd delve deeper into her conciousness, exploring her mind and marveling at its beauty, at the simplicity of her thoughts, the weightlessness of her emotion, the intensity of her dreams. How every day he'd learn to read her aura better, be amazed, fascinated by every layer of complexity, every further, beautiful abstraction.

How he'd long to see her again, to understand her more deeply, how they'd exchange thoughts and ideas without judgement or prejudice, only with understanding. How their first kiss would be entirely nonphysical, just their minds meeting, stimulating each other, their gaze unwavering, their smiles gentle as they exchanged not just thoughts, but, for the first time, emotions as well.

About Impact's terrible guilt at the realization that he was going to use her. The power, the grandness of her mind that he so adored, would be employed to achieve aims that, on the one hand, seem so petty, but, on the other hand, so, so necessary. The terrible sense of betrayal he'd feel as he kept her in the dark, used what he had learned about her, what she had willingly, trustingly shared with him, used that to manipulate her, bend her to his will. The sickening dischord between exhilaration that he could bend a god to his will, influence her with just a touch, and the disgust he felt for doing so.

Perhaps even a vow, that, when all this was over, he'd confess, he'd explain and lay his thoughts and self and entire being bare before her, and accept whichever punishment she deemed appropriate. A vow to die, if it would repay what he'd done.

But no, clearly you know my character much better than that and he is a mere emotionless cardboard cutout, as evidenced by the fact that he didn't get aroused by your alter-egos massive cleavage.
Obviously.

[Dracorion]

A) He did. And so did you.

B) Yes, I do.

[Geminex]

A) He did. And so did you.

Get help.

B) Yes, I do.

Get help.

I think Impacts too ambitious to stay in a relationship for long. Like, he may be genuinely into her, but he'd probably busy himself with too much other stuff.

Matt is too reserved and quiet. Although if the time was taken for him to show some more personality, the possibility would exist.

Pierce has pretty decent chances as he is. He just needs to settle down a bit and not shag every other woman near him.

[Geminex]

Not if Dinner's the most interesting thing around. He's a very intelligent individual, and once he becomes aware of auras in the underlying forces of the world, he'll probably be the one person most capable of appreciating her nature.

And sure, there'll be other stuff. Like world domination. But she'll always maintain his interest. Or something.

In fact, that's why she's the only possible love interest! Everyone else would become a mere pawn to be manipulated! Only someone with her power and complexity can create a relationship with him! Thanks, Bard.

Your move, Drac.

[Bard The 5th LW]

So essentially, he's just staying with her because it benefits his ambitions. He has deviated from true desire for a relationship and into manipulation.

Yes, it always has been "gain rage for each foe you hit". An example would be during the Faynoc's Folly mission when Pierce had Tyranitar use Earthquake and got 10 rage for hitting two foes. And I'm pretty sure there were several other instances.

That is one of the reasons why I made Renny's upgrades single target as part of my perceived balancing. I removed Sweep and I nerfed the AOE moves into focus moves from ICT so that Renny.


Had two weird thoughts occur when I was at school.

Firstly, I realized that Renny, once he gets the ICT upgrade, would effectively be PACTA's mini version (both literally and figuratively) of Kyrie. Kyrie has access to all element types. Renny would have access to 12 of the 18 elements (19 if you include Almighty, although Renny has that with Valiant Rush)

>_> Although, if Kyrie ever finds out about that, she might go chasing after Renny for a match to see who is stronger, much to his annoyance/fear.


Another thing that came to mind... was a weird daydream/suggestion for a mission to AB. And I'm not actually totally serious... but it might be amusing...

Basically, a mission with all the PATCA members and probably the Kimonos or so... Sounds excessive? Aye, but there is a catch.

Only the characters actually in the official DSS are sober (or at least have enough of their wits to not be batshit insane)! The rest are all PLASTERED drunk, hallucinating or what not. Basically, all the NPCs do something during combat, but they are... unpredictable. They MIGHT do what they are asked... they might hit the wrong target (Ooooppps, sorry Charlotte!), they might do something else entirely, or they might just do something completely chaotic and silly like strip to their underwears, start flirting inappropriately with their love interest, wallow in a nearby puddle or blurt out some embarressing story/secret/comment or anything crazy really!

Ultimately, we'd have to survive the day/night protecting all the NPCs with their support/intererence.

Ideally, we'd draw the line at them doing anything drastic like making out with someone, but it would be interesting to see how all the NPCs behave. Plus, AB could make all the innuendos he likes.


^^; But yeah, that was just a weird daydream.


Also, Bard, you seem to have left out Renny from your list of romantic intepretions...

[Bard The 5th LW]

I feel I made my evaluation of Renny when saying that he was young and should slow down. Give other people a try, and maybe pursue someone for lifelong partnership when he's more mature and has better experience.
