Lola Phelps
Influence lost: Dracorion

Yep, I guess Menarker doesn't have to worry about me going after Lola anymore. Hell if I'm going to have Pierce spend every waking second convincing her that everyone else isn't, in fact, better than her.

... Okay, maybe I'll still seduce her just to screw with Menarker.

Hm... decisions, decisions. Spend more time with Chizuru, or go talk to Mika for Dragon/Ghost Slave goodness?

EDIT: How do Evoliths figure in battles where everyone can only use one pokemon? Do we have to pull someone back in order to summon an Evolith or what?

I wonder what Rayleen thinks of Pierce now, shacking up with Shizuka and oogling Chizuru's ass.

Impacts ghost staff/dragon slave has reminded me of Charlotte's loot.

Phantomere infused shotgun shells?

Dracorion · 05-21-2010, 02:57 PM

Impact's what now?

Screw it, there's the whole timeskip between now and Mission 3 for Pierce to talk to Mika.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-21-2010, 03:10 PM

I am fully aware I just backed Impact into two corners.

One is towards Impact himself, who would likely never accept this offer.

The second is towards Geminex, who likely can't accept due to the rules of the RP.

Impact, is thus forced to betray some of his true opinions about pokemon. I have forced my hand in cold-blood.

Dracorion · 05-21-2010, 03:12 PM

... Okay, I can think of one way for Gem to get out of it. Impact is screwed though.

I'm going to have to have Pierce go back to the party to pick up the dirty dishes and whatnot and overhear that, because he cannot miss this.

Geminex · 05-21-2010, 06:45 PM

I like it how you think that there's no way for Impact to get out of this. If I wanted to be boring he could just hand it back, going all "Each to their own. You can put this to better use than me." Would that be suspect? What he'll do is a bit more dramatic, but he ain't going to reveal much about his psyche. And he totally has a personality!

Dracorion · 05-21-2010, 06:48 PM

"You can put this to better use than me" is the stupidest thing ever. Charlotte is offering it to Impact specifically because she's not going to use it.

Although, hmm... Idea! Bard, have Charlotte give Pierce the Latios after Impact turns it down. Do it, man!

Geminex · 05-21-2010, 06:52 PM

Because she hasn't used it yet. Bit of a difference, there. Considering how the RP is currently going, I can't imagine her not needing it in the future.

Bard The 5th LW · 05-21-2010, 06:57 PM

Already working up a Legendary for Charlotte. And everyone knows that Impact would make a great trainer. He loves to give orders. Also, Charlotte did use him in the mansion mission, he failed to live up to expectations.

But yeah, it would go to Pierce otherwise, Charlotte doesn't really care for it.

Dracorion · 05-21-2010, 07:25 PM

Yeah, Charlotte has used it.

Also, Geminex:

If you meant "support Pierce" as in, back him up on his ideas and win by strength of numbers, then no.

We should make that an official rule: player-controlled NPCs will behave just like regular NPCs when it comes to decision making. That is, they won't contribute their own ideas nor will they support anyone's ideas, just blindly follow orders.
