TobyBOI has entered the room
Samtheclipper: has entered the room

TobyBOI: Holy crap, how did you find this channel?
Samtheclipper: Ron gave it to me. How are you doing?
TobyBOI: Fine I guess. You always up this early.
Samtheclipper: Nope, but Ron said you were out on an adventure, so I figured early morning I had a chance of catching you somewhere with connection.
TobyBOI: That desperate to talk to me then?
Samtheclipper: No. You are the desperate one. Seriously, a sponsored trainer? I pay my secretary more than what you are likely making.
TobyBOI: That is probably true Clipper, but I took the job for the excitement, not for the cash.
Samtheclipper: Your lying your ass off Toby. Maria told me your dream is to open a shop. You cannot finance a business on excitement.
TobyBOI: Okay, fine. I'm lying my ass off. I thought it was big money when I signed up. I'm a bit steamed... but at least I'm with a decent group of people. What's it to ya sis?
Samtheclipper: Well I feel kind of bad. Wouldn't you agree that your situation is sort of my fault?
TobyBOI: No. It's not. I blame Maria entirely for that little saga.
Samtheclipper: I didn't know the circumstances, but I knew I was stealing from my own flesh and blood. I was out of line. I'm sorry.
TobyBOI: Well 'sorry' just fixes everything, don't it?
Samtheclipper: No it dosn't. Which is why I want to make it up to you. I have plenty of surplus money from my business. How about I pay you the salary that whomever you work for is surely withholding from you.
TobyBOI: No. You are on dad's good side. No need to foul that up interacting with me.
Samtheclipper: I'm on his good side in part because of what I did to you. I'm not afraid of him.
TobyBOI: There are cheaper ways to piss him off.
Samtheclipper: ...
TobyBOI: If you are fed up with what he stands for go ahead and play the rebel, but leave me out of this. I'm as establishment as they come Clipper. You should know that by now.
Samtheclipper: ...Changing the topic. What kinds of Pokemon do you travel with?
TobyBOI: Well I have two houndoom. Hope that dosn't mean I'll end up like uncle Claude.
Samtheclipper: If you breed yourself a whole pack of them, then I'd be worried. 2 is fine. What else?
TobyBOI: Hatched a Minun yesterday. Real cuttie, but she knows sing and isn't shy about using it. Were you with us the year Dad gave Ron and me a pair of Plusle and Minun?
Samtheclipper: I remember they didn't come back alive at the end of the summer...
TobyBOI: Yeah. We lent them to that dipshit George Cain. Asshole could never keep a Pokemon alive for more than three seconds. Long story short he decided that pitting them against a Dugtrio was a good idea.
Samtheclipper: Any other Pokemon with connections to your past?
TobyBOI: ...A Lunatone
Samtheclipper: Your shitting me.
TobyBOI: I'm not, I'll snap a photo of it and send it your way...
TobyBOI: Oh. I loaned it out to another trainer so I could borrow her fighting type... which is still locked in that bathroom to breed with Molly! I've gotta go check on something Sis.
Samtheclipper: Before you go, I am going to leave some cash in the Old PC box we used to use as kids on a weekly basis. It ain't much, but no way in hell dad will catch on to the transaction. You were my role model for most of our lives, least I can do is lend you a hand on the financial front.
TobyBOI: Seeing as I am too busy to argue with you, sure. Bye.

TobyBOI has disconnected

Long Journal

Spoiler: Kath's Journal page V (click to show/hide)

Oh, tempest tossed lovers...a sea of regret...

Updates!

Looking back at my previous entry, I realize that I must have had some sort of breakdown. I REALLY don't remember anything after the Inn though-and no one is keen on telling me what I was doing...judging by all the odd stares, I think I must have been pretty loopy...but, I don't seem to be hurt very badly-I am missing a potion, I might have used one-so I guess my friends took care of me. Apparently I asked Rolf to dance! More on that later...Dorado apparently evolved, for some reason-and he got even cuter, and much more badass. Just like me. We got some cute little 'eeeveees'-I called mine 'Andromeda'. The PDA said they can change...I assume with power stones. I want one that's related to water, maybe. Cool right? Heh.

Of note-we we're invited to a 'tournament' by a odd stranger, and I had a near diasasterous battle with Deb. Polaris doesn't pull any punches, apparently...and to be fair, neither do I. I thought I may have killed her poor Horsea, but something strange happened...I'm not sure what. Siren survived, the host disappeared-and he left us ultra balls and a strange rock which I believe Debs kept. Mystery, yes!

I was terrified afterward-and in truth, I could barely sleep that night, thinking Debs might hate me for almost killing Siren...I mean, can you care too much about a person? I think she forgave me in the morning, but I can't tell if she was sincere-it's like a knot twisting in my gut as I write this. Oh Arceus, I've never been like this...side effect, of revealing my true self...you get the real me-crying, broken, lonely little Kathryn. Oh yes, and self-pitying. That too!

Next-Polaris had another incident, but I don't believe it was his fault this time. Call me crazy. Well, yeah. He did interrupt something, though...be patient. Constant Reader-well, whoever goes through this thing after I go to ashes, you will be rewarded.

Later, we decided to help some mousy little girl who only has a Caterpie named "Inch". It's cute-Hey, I'm the sort of girl who likes bugs!-but it doesn't want to evolve for some reason. Seems a bit of waste of time, but she's not actually too bad a trainer. If she got some guts, she might realize Inch isn't strong enough right now-he needs instruction, and he needs to be pushed to succeed. I've been working on a system for my own Pokemon to train them harder-we need to get stronger ourselves-sort of like a Coach, like my Dad used to be when training me with swords. They're not going to end up like poor Nimitz. Fair or not, I know now...Tobias should have trained him better. I will train mine better.

...

Next-We ran into Viper again. Of course, she stayed in half phase the whole battle-not brave, but a smart move. She was clearly outnumbered, and hoping for the advantage of surprise and some cleverly placed pits...so, she watched us, probably gauging our strengths and weaknesses. Even Jerry showed up. Which was weird since last I saw, he betrayed viper to save me, but it totally fits him. It's all the cards, for him. He uses cards to make decisions...but, I've always thought the knew what he was choosing, deep down. Or Maybe I'm wrong. Jerry is crazy, sure...but he's still my friend. I don't want him to get hurt.

Something strange with Debs afterwards. She was talking...to someone who wasn't there. I'm not one to judge-see previous entry-but it was very odd. I can't shake the feeling something is different about her. Debs said *she* couldn't remember anything after the Inn either. I'm worried. I mean...she's important to me. Probably more than she knows. Oh, here I am getting all weepy again...

(there are a few teardrops soaked into the page)

Sniff, sniff! Chin up, Darling! I'm sure Debs will be alright.

....

But, to he best part.

I've been so blind lately. Sylvester is a toad, and Jay is too timid-he's not willing to make the first step, so why bother...though, I really wish he would open up to me. Too late now, maybe. Neither of them had a chance.

Tobias, well-if Deb wants to spend a few years sieging the fortress of his real emotions, that's good for her. I hope it works out. I'd just as soon remain his friend. That 'emotional detachment' thing is what he uses on his fellow soldiers-but it's not very nice to build a relationship with it. Also, my Team Ember connections have probably set us apart from each other-morally and spiritually, we're just not compatible. Things could change, of course...

But, Rolf, Rolf-he's been trying to get to know me in the past few days and I've not even noticed it. I mean, I know I'm not the most perceptive of people...I look back now and realized when we shared that Spoinkdog in the city, there was *something* between us. Maybe I just needed to go through what I did to realize it.

I danced with Rolf-taught him to dance, and he's a quick learner. He's got very good footwork-a natural dancer, due to his experience riding, I think. He's quite a bit more gentle than I may have imagined...also he kissed me on the lips. Crazy, right? It just sort of happened...and, I sort of liked it. It's not too bad to be in his arms, looking into those nice blue eyes of his-so...it's very calming to look into them. Quite pleasing. The sort of eyes I could fall in love with...no matter how corny that sounds. I can already hear Debs snickering at me!

...

But, as I know, Rolf is very reserved with his emotions, and of course, the next day he was back to his stony self-I suspect, a natural byproduct of living in a tribal culture that does not accept outsiders...but, he's been cast out-like myself, sort of-and now he's caught in between his old life and his new one. I can help him move on, like I did. He needs to let go of his past...and hold onto something a little more solid. Like, say...me?

I know I usually wait for the man to make the second move-with subtle prodding, of course!-but, Rolf is special case. I will not be to forward with him, and I'd like it to remain indiscreet-it's much more fun that way-but I'll let him know, oh so subtly, that the feelings are not one way. If we choose to pursue this...it would..I know...we could be...

(kathryn tried to write much more below this, but it becomes very faint-apparently her pen ran out of ink)

[Dwarmin]

*bump*

Just prodding the thread to see if we're maybe going to have a bonus session tonight, and who could make it if so.

[Taricus]

No good, I have a dark heresy session.

[Haika]

Yeah, like I said in the other thread. I don't plan to have another bonus session here until the regular day on monday. Mostly because I want to give people like Edio and Revolver a chance to catch up.

The other game was planning a session tonight though I believe D.

[Felius]

Just for the records in the thread, as I have mentioned, if a spot opens, I want in. 

[Dwarmin]

I just got the PDF for Wild Child, reading through...

Thematically, The Wanderer Advanced Class is looking nice for Kathryn-I remember she's already released that one Houndour and possibly a Bunary, and if fits her backstory as one who would release Pokemon rather than keep them for a 'collection' like Debs.

@Haika: One, is this adv. class approved yet? Also, are pokemon I snag with a styler and release count for getting the CC prereq?

[Weirdsound]

While your answering that Haika, here is a question about a non-Homebrew class.

The artificer Flute Smith and Flute Smith + feats allow me to make red, blue, yellow, black, and white flutes. The problem is the properties of these items are not defined in the PDF anywhere. Would you be kind enough to tell me how they would work in your campaign before I take the feat(s) to make them?

Here is a link to their ingame effects for reference. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Flute

I'm going to say that Styler captures don't count as a complete capture and release. As it's not really a capture, it's a tenative hold at best. To get the requirement here you need to release pokemon completely, as in letting them go from a pokeball. And no Scienceing them does not count.

Flutes would act as follows(had to look it up on Serebii, bulbapedia was worthless):
Black Flute = Playing this as a standard action would adjust your encounter roll slightly. Making the chance of no wild encounter more likely.
White Flute = Playing this as a standard action would adjust your encounter roll slightly. Making the chances of wild encounters more likely.
Blue Flute = Playing this as a standard action would awaken one target(non self) from sleep, 20m range.
Red Flute = Playing this as a standard action would break one target(non self) from charm related moves, such as Attract, 20m range.
Yellow Flute = Playing this as a standard action would heal one target(non self) of confusion, 20m range.

[Dwarmin]

All right-What about Styler Capture, and then making them a long term companion?

[KujiUn]

That'd be way too abusive when you get to the EXP increases. :p

[Dwarmin]

I don't see how! lololol

Really, styler *Companions* are mine in every way, and gain levels like normal mons, they just don't get 'slave-balled'. I mean, if they are not allowed, it'd be hard to say how Wild Child Companions count, but Ranger Companions don't.

Then again, It's just the price of $600 dollar pokeball, really, so it doesn't matter to me either way.

[KujiUn]

I like how you use the full price to justify yourself. :p

[Dwarmin]

Hmm, pokeballs do cost $600, don't they?

Now get off my back Kuji. You annoying prick. My good friend. :3

[KujiUn]
