Remembering to put Quest in the subject edition.[It may be a short one. Sorry.]Archive: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Pokemon%20QuestTwitter: https://twitter.com/GobbleQMPokemon, items, and summary: http://pastebin.com/tSNKt0WmFAQ and general concepts: http://pastebin.com/Ht1Q5E1p Themes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4jkHr2MaRoNice playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kJ9wp-mog8&feature=share&list=PL361E683BA95898C0 General rules: There is a 10 minute voting period after each post, and 5 minute voting period for combat votes. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible. There are occasional roles to keep things organic, but mostly it goes by voters choice. Unless specified otherwise, the best of 3 rolls is the result, and rolling high is good. Write-ins for all votes or always welcome and encouraged. Put your own spin on it, suggest dialogue, add an addendum, or anything else. Just because some options specify to write in, doesn't mean that they aren't welcome for anything else. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in. Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.I've been thinking on a lot of the combat options that were discussed. If you have anything to add or any suggestions, please don't be shy.
'bout damn time.
Yes for once I'm here at the start
>>30660845Why short? I need my lesbians, damn it! Thanks for letting us know up front, man.
>>30660845That's cool. I'm starting my job tomorrow anyways
This has been my first quest and I can now see why there are so many.I'm glad you could be my first Gobble
Time for /u/!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiJx-QYymgs
>>30660983Is this, indeed, about /u/ or is it just cute girls doing cute things?
“Come on. Let’s get an Aura Reading, then we’re totally checking out that mallet strength thing. I’ve always wanted to try those. Vance can win us a prize!”Vance scratches behind his head nervously and laughs. “It’s called a High Striker.”Huh, the more you know. You arrive at the Aura Readers tent. It’s a lot less fancy than the Fortune Tellers. Robin goes in first and emerges several minutes later. "That was fun!" Robin beams. She must have heard something she liked.“Come on in!” There’s a young girl about your age. She has blonde hair in a ponytail. She’s a little taller than you, with a perky smile and tank top. Not at all what you expected. You take a seat at her table.She sticks out her palms “OK. I’m going to need your hands.”You hesitate before putting your hands in hers. She closes her eyes and concentrates.“Great! Now I need to uh...calibrate, for lack of a better term. I need you to think of something you’re good at. I'm not a mind reader or anything, so don't worry about that.”>You can steal. You’re great at that>You’re an awesome manipulator>Well, you’re not bad at the flute>You're a good trainer, even if you're hard on yourself sometimes>Something else>>30660887It's been a crazy week and I need to be 100% for work tomorrow. I'm applying for a new job, but at the same time my current place of work is insane and about to get worse. If I get the new job though, expect more frequent updates.
>>30661039/u/ has a big foothold in the quest.
>>30661058>Well, you’re not bad at the flute
>>30661058>ask Robin
>>30661058>>Well, you’re not bad at the flute>>You're a good trainer, even if you're hard on yourself sometimes
>>30661058E-mail me when you get a chance.
>>30661087>Robin what am I good at doing>Me
>>30661059I know that. I meant the anime.
>>30661058>>Well, you’re not bad at the flute
>>30661058>Well, your a good gambler.
>>30661107Heeh
>>30661087I could go for being unsure about it after dealing with our first loss
>>30661058>You genuinely love your friends
>>30661058>What are we good at doing?Robin.
>>30661122Positive man! Think positive!
>>30661039You mean Yuru Yuri? SoL comedy centered around pure love, but it never develops into actual relationships. It's good, though. Sakura Trick is full on lewd /u/ with kissing>>30661058>Well, you’re not bad at the flute
>>30661058>You can steal. You’re great at that
>>30661150It is positive, we'll never need for money again during our trip as long as we spend wisely.
>>30661173Explicit /u/. Girlfriend and all. So ST
>>30661058>>Well, you’re not bad at the fluteIt's what we've always been good at.
>>30661191Well with just a bit of investing we could strenghten our financial security.What do you say to....three ways?
>>30661200I posted the OP last thread too, it gives you an idea of what the series is about.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32sw3LNZp1o
>>30661220Diversification of funds is a smart thing to do, but you should only ever deal with one broker.
>>30661251...fuck my backlog, this goes straight to the front.Heh... "straight...">>30661273And let them bring hot, hot funds to the party.
>>30661314"Robin, remember when you said we could sleep around? This is Ponzi."
>>30661300>>30661334I meant to say>yfw you get caught in a ponzi scheme
You have a few strengths. You've managed to gamble and win big, maybe that was luck though. You're not a bad trainer, at least, you think so. You've only lost one match. You genuinely appreciate your friends, both Pokemon and human. You're also not a bad thief. You're not too sure if you're proud of that one or not.There's one answer you keep coming back to though. You think about your flute. You're good at that. It's gotten you through some tough times. It even got you your first Pokemon, Devon. If you had to pick sometime you feel confident about, that would definitely be it.The tall blonde girl flutters her eyes a bit. “Oh. Wow. Alright. Getting something loud and clear. You have a very...loud... aura." You're not sure if she's legit, or just trying to tell you whatever she thinks you'd want to hear. Usually someone would say 'special,' or 'unique,' not 'loud.' It sounds like your aura is obnoxious.She closes her eyes and concentrates once more. "OK. I need contrast this against something else. This might seem weird, but I need you to think of a strong doubt you have about yourself.”>You’ll never really be a great Pokemon trainer. You're a street rat>Vance has been nothing but good to you and you’re bullshitting him in training>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave you>Something else
>>30661334but anon, kat isnt that kinda girl
>>30661414>>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave you
>>30661414>>Vance has been nothing but good to you and you’re bullshitting him in training
>>30661414>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave you
>>30661414>Vance has been nothing but good to you and you’re bullshitting him in trainingWe're a fraud
>>30661414All of the above.
>>30661414>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave you.More like:>One day you’ll mess things up and everyone will leave you.
>>30661414>You'll never be a great pokemon trainer, eventually you won't be able to beat something
>>30661414>Something elseI'm good at stealing and manipulating and hate what that says about me.
>>30661414>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave youObvious opportunity for dramaGO GO SELF LOATHING
>>30661431If Robin were less repressed, Kat would have jumped on the offer. The only reason she's being this patient and loyal is because Robin needs to be drawn out of her shell and learn to trust.Then, the corruption begins.>>30661414>Riff-Raff>Street Rat>Yeah, we buy that>No need to look closer!>We are just a poor girl>Please don't see...>Don't find out...>There's nothing else>To meeeeeeeeee
>30661414>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave you
>>30661470No she wouldn't.
>>30661414>>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave youHaha Insecurities
>>30661470>Riff-Raff>Street Rat>Yeah, we buy that>No need to look closer!>We are just a poor girl>Please don't see...>Don't find out...>There's nothing else>To meeeeeeeeeeOh you glorious bastard
>>30661485Keep telling yourself that.
>>30661456Going with this. General doubt in our ability to keep our relationships intact.
>>30661451Second.
>>30661059/u/ has a big foothold in EVERY quest.
>>30661456Yes. DOUBT EVERYTHINGCRIPPLING SELF DOUBTYOU HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PERSON
>>30661532You know, Kat's become a huge pussy since the first few threads. She used to be a cocky, confident street tough.The fuck, /tg/. You're like the Phyrexian Oil of moe.
>>30661530I think a lot of refugees came here after the sinking of the T/u/tanic over in Hero Quest. I tell you, the fleet might never recover after that one.
>>30661553Ok.
>>30661553It's called...CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
>>30661414>>You’ll never really be a great Pokemon trainer. You're a street rat>>Vance has been nothing but good to you and you’re bullshitting him in training>>One day you’ll mess things up and Robin will leave youWe will screw it all up eventually
>>30661589I don't deny that, I'm just saying that it seems like Robin and Vance have been a weakening influence on Kat. If she lost them now, it'd probably fuck her up. Isn't this like reverse Stockholme or something?
>>30661592>We become champion>A CHALLENGER APPROACHES>It's Robin>She's been aiming for this the entire journey>Her love was to weaken our resolve>The fighting with her father was even staged>All so she could travel with us and get to know us in every way>she crushes us easily>We drop into obscurity
>>30661614wouldn't reverse Stockholm be the kidnapper falling in love with the victim?
>>30661553It was an act she put on to keep from getting hurt now she has people she can trust
>>30661614It's not really a weakening influence at all. It's just a natural reaction to someone like Kat having friends.Kat is used to being on her own and used to burning bridges and generally fucking people over.This is the first time she's met people she actually wants to keep around and be nice to. Of course she'd be insecure about her capabilities to actually do that. Everything about her points to the exact opposite result.
>>30661658Fair point, I suppose.
>>30661553Nah. Orphans and street kids are near universally emotionally crippled on the inside.
>>30661566>the fleet might never recover after that one.Good
>>30661777Your triples are strong, but your heart is weak. Accept purr ravu.
>>30661553that's in the pastorphan street thief is deadwe clingy emotionally manipulative lesbian now
>>30661793They'll never stop
>>30661814I guess I'm okay with that.
>>30661793just remember, carpet munching is the main goal, like most /u/ quests, the pokemon stuff is just side stuff.
>>30661814Canonically, she's bisexual. She's just monogamous with Robin right now.For now.
Where to begin? You're really doubting your ability to be a great trainer. You have moments that reach 'good,' but lets face it, your victories were all against younger trainers, people who aren't real trainers, or gym leaders who are supposed to go easy on you.What about Vance? From the moment you met him he's been great to you. Taking in a total stranger in need and even traveling with you to make sure you were alright. You took advantage of him and forced him to pay for your food. Even after that, he not only stuck around, but gave Robin the advice to take a chance on you.Robin. That's where you're really feeling it. She's smart, pretty, likeable and adorable. You're street trash, no matter how you dress it. What if you're just part of her rebellious phase or something? No, that's probably not it, but still, you'll mess things up and she'll leave you. You're going to lose her, and you'll probably deserve it.The girl speaks up. "This is awkward. Normally I just see vague, colored blurs. Intentions, very rarely some visible metaphors. I'm seeing things here that look almost literal."(continued)
>>30661819You cannot kill the /u/-boats. You can cripple them, but that just forces them into a guerilla war, and the fallout would be disastrous. We're talking 'Nam level, here.
>>30661848And forever
>>30661848you and I are the only ones that remember lewd dream./u/boats have taken over awhile ago.Sometimes I feel it might as well be carpet muncher quest.
>>30661866You misspelled 'gorilla.'
>>30661860Well, that can't be good.
>>30661860Well I guess you don't get much buisness then
>>30661860You have no idea what she's talking about. "You're close with that sweet girl with the Fire and Fairy aura, aren't you? I can recognize imprints of her here.""Robin?" She's selling this well. You're not exactly a world traveler, but you always guessed at how aura readers work. They just take qualities of a person they'd probably like to hear about themselves and stroke their ego about how special their aura is or whatever. Robin has red hair (Fire) and she's cute and nice (Fairy). Even if she can sense auras or whatever, all they do is stroke your ego for a small price and act wise.She starts picking at the air around you. "This is a mess. A really loud mess. The undertone is Dark and Poison, but the surface is littered with all sorts of residue." That's not what people usually want to hear. Maybe she's just bad at this. Worse, maybe she's legitimate. "You have a hard time making up your mind, don't you?""Sometimes," you admit. That can apply to anyone though. You feel like you're under a lot of scrutiny and that never ends well."I can see a strong connection between you and a mostly Fairy person, as well as a pure Fighting type person. Your relationships both started with mistrust and deception. I can see a lot of echos of them here. You make up a lot of what you tell the Fighting type person."Well that's technically true. You're a little conflicted on it. It's not like you're hurting Vance though right? You've been treating him lately to spas and hotels and stuff. He isn't paying for your meals anymore. Your advice may be made up on the spot, but he gets a lot out if it, right?Are you a bad person?>You're not a bad person! Not really! She's just seeing the bad stuff. Show her something positive>Let yourself sink into doubt and depression. Think of the worst stuff you've done and felt>That's enough. This is uncomfortable>Ask her advice on something (write in)>Something else
>>30661888Dreams aren't really a fair way to judge things though.If we go by dreams I'm sexually attracted to getting punched in the gut.
>>30661916>>Let yourself sink into doubt and depression. Think of the worst stuff you've done and feltyou've done bad and you should feel bad
>>30661916>That's enough. This is uncomfortableToo close4me
>>30661916>>Let yourself sink into doubt and depression. Think of the worst stuff you've done and feltWe need to go deeper!>>30661931Well now anon, do you need gto talk about that?
>>30661553It's more that she's waiting for the other shoe to drop. Imagine your life is terrible, for a full decade. Nobody can really be bothered to give you the time of day, and you have to fight just to survive.And then suddenly, seemingly out of absolutely nowhere, you have all these nice things, and the world looks a lot less bleak. But you constantly worry, because it might just be some sort of cruel joke, and it might get taken away again if you screw up.And you can't even bear to think about going back to how it was before.
>>30661916>You're not a bad person! Not really! She's just seeing the bad stuff. Show her something positive
>>30661931>sometimes a cigar is just a cigaryou already have your stranglehold on the quest.don't disregard the dream because you don't like it.
>>30661916>YOU SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>30661916>Let yourself sink into doubt and depression. Think of the worst stuff you've done and feltI will always vote for the self-hate and insecurity options
>>30661916>Let yourself sink into doubt and depression. Think of the worst stuff you've done and felt
>>30661990Don't try using as an excuse for your threesome bullshit
>>30661916>You're not a bad person! Not really! She's just seeing the bad stuff. Show her something positive>Ask her advice on something (will we make it with Robin?)
Man, you people really like to angst.I'm down with it.
>>30661990No no, I don't mean to put a stranglehold on the quest, I'm sorry if it came out that way. I just wanted to point something out.
>>30661916how it started doesn't matter. All that is important is the now and the future.... Sure, we may have started off with an alterior motive, but now that motive is null and void. We have encouraged him to embrace things that originally he would not have considered, and we have also managed to get our little group to open up and embrace their inner selves, not to mention them doing the same to us....we spent our life in a fortress glaring at the world, planning how to take what we needed, but Robin and Vance have encouraged us to leave the fortress, and now we have no real defence against the world...
>>30661976>>30661658>>30662093I like these.
>>30661916>>Ask her advice on something (write in)Am I a bad person?
>>30662093Damnit I like this response, but angst is so much fun......
>>30662093No thanks
>>30662093Seconding.
>>30662071Kat is a bisexual girl in a monogamous relationship with Robin.the only conceivable for a threesome to occur would be if Robin initiates one.
>>30662142>Three way investing STRIKES AGAIN
>>30662093too much fucking sap
>>30662142We don't have to go along with it even in the unlikely scenario in which she does
>>30662142Now, Kat MAY not be monogamous normally. This may be her first real relationship. I think she's putting Robin's feelings first. I'm not saying she's poly, either. It's a gray area. I think that I agree with this for the time being.
>>30662162>Not fulfilling your ravu's fantasiesHeartless motherfucker.
>>30661916>Dark and PoisonEesh, that bad?In a parallel world, I'm sure Kat would have made an excellent Team Rocket member.
>>30662291How is Dark and Poison bad?It's underhanded and tricky. It's Thunder Wave before Thunderbolt. Leech Seed before Horn Leech.Thinking before charging in blindly.
You've been so good at pushing this back since you started your quest.You think about when you met Robin. You helped her find her Eevee! That's something good. Of course, you also saw her as an easy target you could take advantage of.What about with Vance? You've helped him out too. Maybe your deal with him started out shady. So what? You made him realize something at the Grass gym. No, you didn't. Sato did. You just dragged Vance into a fight he wasn't ready for.And your Pokemon. They trust you. Why? You've just collected more than you can care for, and you're depending on Professor Fir to help you out.You used to see yourself as a victim. Poor little orphan girl. Then you started thinking that if you were good, good things would happen. You haven't had a life where good things happen until recently.You make sure your Pokemon are healthy! You've been treating your friends well. You've been doing everything right lately. You can be a good person when you really try!You look up at the girl. Her face is a mask."Am I a bad person?"She hesitates. "Look. I'm not a psychic or a prophet or anything like that. I can't answer that for you. All I can tell you is what you're projecting."The truth is, you just don't know. The way you see it though, is that if you were a good person, she'd just say so.You get up from the table. "What do I owe you?"She gestures to the sign. There are decreasing prices going down until the word 'free' is scribbled at the bottom.You feel conflicted and confused. No wonder it's free.>Ask her about the types>How does someone become an aura reader anyway?>How can you change your aura?>This is a bunch of manipulative Ponyta dung!>Get Vance, it's his turn
>>30662393>>Get Vance, it's his turnlets just get out of there
>>30662393>>Ask her about the types>>How does someone become an aura reader anyway?
>>30662393>Get Vance, it's his turn
>>30662393>Ask her about the types>How does someone become an aura reader anyway?Try to hide a shaking voice, as we continue the conversation against our better judgment>>30662380They're not elements one would usually want to be associated with, compared to fire, water etc.
>>30662393>Ask her about the types>Get Vance, it's his turnLets get back to the fun. More rides, win Robin something.
>>30662393>Get Vance>Hang self with Escape Rope>Ironic
>>30662393>How can you change your aura?We dont want to POISON our relationships with our DARK aura.
>>30662380>Leech Seed before Horn LeechDon't remind me.>>30662393>Ask her about the types>How does someone become an aura reader anyway?
>>30662380Well, generally it seems that our traits would render us toxic and destructive to those around us. Hell, if not for Devon and our having fallen for Robin, we likely would still be a loaner con-woman
>>30662393>>Ask her about the types
>>30662393leave some money on the table then exit. much to think on.
>>30662393>Ask her about the types
"How does someone get to be a good running? Some people are naturally built for it, but you've got to practice."You look down at the table. No, screw to that. You look her in the eyes. You can face this. "You mentioned my types. Dark and Poison.""What's wrong with that?" She puts her hands on her hips. "I get it. Everyone wants to be a Dragon type or whatever. Dark and Poison Pokemon aren't bad or inferior. They just are. Everything has it's place."You think about Devon and Vlad. You wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. "I didn't mean-""It's fine," she says, gently grabbing you by the shoulder. "I don't get a lot of practice with new people. I know I'm not delicate."Feeling a little tired, you open the heavy drape entrance and beckon Vance inside.(continued)
"Jeanine?" You stop. Vance knows this girl?She steps passed you like you're not even there. "Vance! It's been years. You've gotten...huge. Wow" She gives him an appraising look-over.Vance scratches behind his head. "Uhh, thanks. You too." There's a silence. "Wait. No. I didn't mean you got fat. I didn't mean you got big like that."Everyone's gaze slowly and awkwardly shifts to her impressive chest. "I just mean you grew up!"She laughs. "Same old Vance." She pats him on the back. "Did your parents move out here too? Oh! You have to let me read your aura!" She takes his hand and starts concentrating."I came here with my friends." Vance gestures to you and Robin. "Jeanine, this is Kat and Robin. Kat, Robin, this is Jeanine. We used to be neighbors up until a few years ago."Jeanine takes her hands out of Vances and greets Robin with a warm smile. When she shakes your hand, the smile on her mouth stays but the one in her eyes fades. "Vance, you have a pure Fighting type aura, did you know that?" Her gaze stays fixed on you. Her handshake is strong. It's now when you realize how cut her arms really are. Nowhere near as impressive as Vance, but you're not used to seeing other girls who you don't think you could take in a fight. She grabs Vance by the hand and drags him into the tent. After a good long while, they finally emerge again. "Vance! you're too much!" She laughs at one of his jokes, clinging off of his arm. >Welp! Great reading. Time for that strength machine. Bye>Invite her along for the festival. Try to be friendly. Maybe she has funny stories about Vance's childhood>Ask why her sign says free. Put her on the spot. Discredit her >Something else

>>30662838>Invite her along for the festival. Try to be friendly. Maybe she has funny stories about Vance's childhoodIf she calls us out we've got basically nothing, let's not start shit.
>>30662868seconding this.I have a feeling the reason it's free is because she is blunt and does not stroke peoples ego. not to mention how she took our questioning about our type... It is obvious she cares for aura reading, so she is ready to jump into it's defence...
>>30662838>When she shakes your hand, the smile on her mouth stays but the one in her eyes fades."Types totally don't matter.""But now that you're fucking with my Vance, I will destroy you with my musclegirl strength"Girl talk man. All in the eyes.

Well, if she's friends with Vance, it couldn't hurt to hang out her her. "Why don't you join us Jeanine?"She looks at you appraisingly. "I'd love to!"Vance looks back. "What about your tent?""There's nothing in there. Besides, nobody was coming anyway." She clings tightly to him. She interjects her body between you and him."How come the sign said free?" You're genuinely curious. At first your mind was scrambling for ammo, but instead you've decided to be friendly. For now."Well, when my mom and I moved away, I didn't have a lot of friends out here. I took up aura reading to pass the time. It's a pretty small community, so I've done everyone here a million times already." You restrain yourself from making a comment about her wording. You're being nice. Vance is a good friend, you don't want to cause any trouble for him.Robin looks up at her. "So you know Vance when he was a kid?""Vance and I were inseparable. His sister was always off winning spelling B's or something, so we hung out a lot." She starts telling a story about how Vance ended up getting stung by a Weedle in the butt as a kid. "And then it swelled up so big!"Vance looks away. "That's not funny!" He still laughs a little bit though.She leans against him. "It was funnier when you showed off the scar because you thought scars were cool."The strength machine test has a small line. There are cheers as people swing the mallet, but nobody is winning yet."Nice try. Step right up! Say you!" The man running the machine points to Robin. "Why don't you try to win a prize for your friend here?" He gestures to you.Robin laughs shyly. "I'm just here to support my friend."The carnie notices Vance for the first time. "Ah, hell." Before Vance even lifts the mallet, the man starts gets a tool for reaching the prizes off the top shelf.(continued)
>>30663334>1.) its really really rareMaybe we could send it to Fir to get it identified, get some research data, and later release it. Sitting on rare pokemons for trade or sale just doesn't seem like Kat.>2.) its really really strongI think we should make our pokes stronger before looking for some wild, unreliable muscle.>3.) we really really need it for type advantage against gym and we don't have one already Sounds good to me.
>>30663408>Ah, hell.The most appropriate reaction
>>30663408There's a heavy WHAM and a sharp DING as Vance brings the hammer down. Jeanine cheers very, very loudly."Here you go big guy," The carnie brings down a giant stuffed Pikachu. "Now which one of these lucky girls is that for?"Vance looks indecisive. It's difficult to tell if he's enjoying Jeannine's attention or not. He gets so reserved sometimes. Robin is so easy to read when she's shy.Jeanine catches your eyes. You can see that she's about to do something. At least you know you're faster, and probably smoother, than her.>Take the Pikachu, thank Vance>Take the Pikachu and give it to Robin, thank Vance>"Go on, give it to Jeanine.">Do nothing>Something else
>>30663472>"Go on, give it to Jeanine."
>>30663472>"Go on, give it to Jeanine."Don't torment the poor guy
>>30663472>>"Go on, give it to Jeanine."We were gonna get him laid right?
>>30663472>"Go on, give it to Jeanine."As Arceus as my witness! Vance's virginity will die tonight!Nice guys finish last, as Jeanine will found later in bed
>>30663472>Do nothingNigger best be giving it to Jeanine, surely he's not THAT dense? It doesn't mean much if we have to fucking tell him
>>30663472>Do nothingHonestly, the fact that she's pinned us as a rival for Vance is hilarious and we should see how much she ruins herself with this mindset.
>>30663472"not five minutes after meeting your childhood friend are you trying to woo her and shower her in gifts... You sly dog you..."
>>30663472>Do nothing
>>30663540this sounds about right
>>30663540this! Subtlety is key!
>>30663472>Tell Robin you'll try winning one for her
>>30663472"Vance, give it to your friend! Jeeze, why is this even a question you big Tauros!"
>>30663472>>30663540Yes, perfect.
>>30663540Nah.
>>30663535Well the simplest solution is to make out with Robin, everybody will will
>>30663540no thanks
>>30663597>>30663612Go fuck yourselves.
We need to win a prize for Robin even if a small one, can't let Vance show us up on presents
>>30663623Why, because I don't like your shit?
>>30663575This
>>30663633Because you're naysaying for it's own sake. Suggest something else instead of just saying "No" like you fucking run the joint.
>>30663630Seconding. It sets us up for a good joke about how Vance's is bigger than ours.
>>30663575Yes
>>30663667But saying yes for its own sake is fine, because it's supportive? If I don't like a choice I shouldn't say anything because my opinion isn't important?Fuck you
>>30663472>"Go on, give it to Jeanine."Wingman.
>>30663697Well, yeah. If you agree with something, the idea's already been proposed so if you want to back it up, that's all that needs be said. If you dislike something, suggest something else you do like or back another post instead of being a cunt. What's so hard to understand about that?
>>30663623It's called counter-voting anon, it's not to be an asshole, when someone sees a custom option they don't like getting support counter-voting is key if you don't want it to happen. Chill out.
>>30663771I already voted for what I want, just because I don't like something doesn't mean I should just shut up and accept it though, despite not wanting to see it in. People are perfectly entitled to giving my opinion too, you fucking autist. What's so hard to understand about that?
>>30663813Whatever you say, man.
write ins either get support and get put in or they don't get any or enough and are ignored. (or the QM likes them and puts them in). there isn't cumulative scoreimo, counter votes instill the mentality of "fuck you"
>>30663879Or instill the menatlity of "I disagree"It depends on how it's worded.
>>30663879> or they don't get any or enough and are ignored.If it worked that way we wouldn't have to countervoteRemember the whole "flashing Vance" thing because one person suggested it, despite nobody at all supporting it?
>>30663879No Fuck You instills the mentality of Fuck You like when someone posts Fuck YouVoting against a specific write-in is perfectly acceptable and always has been.
>>30663890write ins need a good show of support to be recognized. They're not just going to get included because one or two anons backed it.There isn't a cumulative score kept for them.>>30663901QM's preference takes priority before everything. Kat is an exhibitionist and shameless flirt, Gobble liked and or felt it was in character.
>>30663933this quest is the only one I follow where this regularly happens and its also has the most toxic playerbase.....
>>30663942So the QMs should put in choices with no support, and a noticeable amount of disagreement just because he likes it?The quest is just as much about the players input as well.
It's nicer to get some feedback about your writing and how you can improve rather than just a flat out 'No'.
For a second you do nothing, appraising Jeanine. It looks like that's thrown her off, and she hesitates, then moves around to Vance's other side, between you and him again."Not five minutes after meeting your childhood friend are you trying to woo her and shower her in gift-" Surprisingly, it's Jeanine that gives you a soft elbow. It doesn't look like she did it on purpose. She seems genuinely sorry to have cut you off. "Sorry! You were saying something about wooing?"There's an awkward pause, but you keep grinning. You punch Vance in the arm. "Vance, give it to your friend! Jeez, why is this even a question you big Tauros!"He meekly hands it over to her, with a question on his face."I love it!" She hugs him, squishing her chest into him without subtlety. "I'm really glad I ran into you." She keeps hugging him. Yeesh. Just whip it out and wrap your mouth around it already. Then again, you're not exactly a lot better when it comes to Robin.Speaking of which; You've got a new goal. "Robin! I'm going to win you something!"She raises her hands. "You really don't have too, just being here with you is-"You grab her by the hand and start looking for a booth. She's too damn nice! She gives your hand a small, special squeeze. Your heart flutters for just a second before you put your eyes back on the task of looking for something you can win.>That High Striker thing Vance did can't be that hard. You're strong...for your size. (d100)>Ring toss! You can do that one! (d100)>Oh! There's a booth where you blow into a straw and keep a ping pong ball at a certain height. You have great lungs! (d100)>Maybe Destiny can win you a prize. There's a special booth for having your Pokemon shoot water into a target. (d100)>Throw baseballs at bottles!

So is it the best out of three rolls or the best out of the three rolls on the same subject?
Rolled 42>>30664006>>Throw baseballs at bottles! You're good at throwing Pokeballs, and you used to smash lots of glass growing up. (d100)
>>30664006We need a game of chance, since Luck seems to be our primary stat. Or an obviously crooked game that we can cheat at and feel justified.
>>30664059if it bothers you so much, then take it up with Gobble.
>>30664006>Ring toss! You can do that one! (d100)
>>30664059What's the flashing incident?
>>30664113Best of three on the winning vote(Although the system is very much up for revision if anyone has any suggestions)
>>30664069good with our lips and flute
>>30664223from my experiences, people will instantly vote the option that gets the highest the roll.imo,it should go vote on option THEN roll for it
If it's the winning vote then lets go for the ping pong blowing game with every dirty joke we can make with it
Rolled 67>>30664153Anon, I roll for you
>>30664006>Oh! There's a booth where you blow into a straw and keep a ping pong ball at a certain height. You have great lungs! (d100)fuck yea flute is our weapon if choice
Rolled 8>>30664261Forgot the roll.
>>30664253harder to do for this stuff where there is a lot of options though, this quest is popular enough that you'll get a lot of votes/rolls within the first 2 minutes it should be good as is gobble.
>>30664253Could always use the most voted for option with the highest of the first three rolls regardless of their vote...
>>30664006>>Maybe Destiny can win you a prize. There's a special booth for having your Pokemon shoot water into a target. (d100)
The baseball one probably plays to your strengths. Jeanine isn't the only one with decent guns. "Come on Robin!" You drag her again. You look back and see that she's smiling and having a good time.The man at the booth hands you your balls and steps back.One! You smashed a bottle! Yes. So far, so good.Two! Another bottle! OK, that's not bad wither, but you need to knock down the whole thing.You breath deep and relax. You can do this. Prove you're worth Robin's affection.You loose the third ball! It's fast, hard, and on target. At the last second though, it curves off to the side and smashes another lone bottle. Half the stack is still there."Nice arm," the man says. He hands you a small plushie the size of your fist. It's an Eevee. It has a hook for strapping it to a bag.Robin shyly and quickly kisses you on the cheek. "Thank you! It's perfect. It's travel sized and everything."You look at Jeanine fawning over Vance. That Pikachu is huge. Realistically, your bags are already pretty stuffed.>Just keep playing until you win the biggest damn thing here!>If Robin is happy, you're happy>Just a kiss on the cheek? Lay it on her>Something else
>>30664482>Just a kiss on the cheek?>Just keep playing until you win the biggest damn thing here!

>>30664482>>Just keep playing until you win the biggest damn thing here!We aren't here for rational thought about future travels! Try to win a big rock or ground type to kick that plushie pikachu's ass
>>30664482>Just a kiss on the cheek? Lay it on herdemonstrate to Jeanine we are not a threat to her mission of sampling Vance's dick.
>>30664508In private? I mean, in front of Vance is one thing but a bloody carnival.You're gonna turn the two of you into a new attraction.
>>30664482>>Just a kiss on the cheek? Lay it on herNow you've woken the dragon!
>>30664482>>If Robin is happy, you're happy>>Just a kiss on the cheek? Lay it on herI know we want Vance laid but damn if we're gonna be second

Rolled 39>>30664555>Go back in time to try and prevent it>IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING!
Anti-voting laying it on her.That can wait until we're somewhere at least a little more private
>>30664543I fail to see this as a problem, and Kat is already more or less an exhibitionist
>>30664482>Just a kiss on the cheek? Lay it on her>If Robin is happy, you're happy
>>30664575Eh....we still tend to only flaunt it in Vance's prsence.
>>30664597We are in Vance's presence.Kidding aside then lets very quickly drag her off to an isolated corner then drag her back in a few minutes only slightly ruffled
>>30664634This would be good.
>>30664634Fine by me
>>30664651Iy'd be even better if Vance's friends asks us all the same questions he did
>>30664672Oh my.
>>30664482>Just keep playing until you win the biggest damn thing here!Prove to her how much we like her! Prove to ourselves how we really honestly aren't just a con artist like Mr. Sleeze back on the ship! WE'RE NOT A BAD PERSON!
>>30664738She'll get an answer much faster then Vance did however, lucky her.If we rub off on her Vance will be in some trouble
>>30664766Then will we get our three-way investment?
>>30664766Nah, she's too suspicious of our dark/poison aura, she's probably going to try to put distance between her and us.
>>30664788She's not suspicious of her, she said herself there's nothing wrong with them.She just knows Vance is into us and a little jealous.
>>30664788What she said implies the exact opposite.
>>30664788So does she think we'll try to "corrupt" her?Wait till she finds out Vance likes to stare
>>30664764Somebody is compensating
>>30664804>>30664812>>30664819maybe I'm misreading her actions then, I'm tired. Fucking time zones don't line up.
>>30664812That was before we were potential competition for the Vance attention and dicking.Before we were just a stranger with a shady aura. No big deal. Now we're a exhibitionist, sneaky, hot girl hanging around her trusting Vance
>>30664788Our Aura isn't the problem, it's the fact that it told her our relations were built on false pretenses and that our relationship with a Fighting person was particularly deceptive.And then she saw us hanging out with Vance and came to a reasonable conclusion with the information she had.
>>30664482>If Robin is happy, you're happyHe probably has a psychic pokemon rigging the game anyway.
>>30664894I read that as 'thrusting Vance' at first.
You look at the small prize. You're a little disappointing, but the smile on Robin's face is the real prize, right?You rub your cheek where she kissed you. There are other prizes you want too. You grab her by the hand again, and lead her into a small dark spot just out of view of the general public.Robin looks confused. "Did you want to talk about J-"You lock lips with her. She's surprised, but doesn't resist. Your hands run up her body and over her hair, and you're rewarded with a soft moan. Just as she starts to really get into it, you cut it off. Her lips follow yours for an inch before it's clear it's over. You love making her want it like that.You wink. "Taking it slow. Don't worry. I remember."Her visible frustration is fantastic. You lead her back out to Vance and Jeanine. Robin's hair is ruffled and she's as red as the candy apples in the background.Jeanine stops hanging off Vance for a second. "Where did you two run off to?" She seems genuinely confused.Vance looks up at the clock above one of the booths. “Look at the time! The berry picking contest is going to start!”You, Vance, Robin and Jeanine head over to the contest area. There's someone announcing the rules with a megaphone."The rules are simple! Two baskets per team at a time. You and up to two Pokemon must gather as many berries as you can. If you fill up a basket, bring them back to this area. When the buzzer sounds, then time is up! Judges will weigh them, and the winners will be declared.""The contest starts in five minutes. Please be ready at the starting area before then."You'll have to choose two Pokemon to help you out. You rule Levi out almost immediately. You doubt she'd fit between berry patches. That leaves Devon, Destiny, Trunks, Raistlin, and Nibbles.[Quote only vote starting in a few minutes. Giving some time to discuss which two current Pokemon are best for the task of collecting berries.]>>30664844Last vote coming up
>>30664894Jesus christ you guys over analyze everything. Gobble hasn't said one thing that supports this.Why do we care what she thinks anyway?
>>30664988What's our team?
>>30664988Abra and VladPsychics can get large amounts of berries with psychic, and vlad is highly mobile
>>30664988>Devon, Raistlin,
>>30664988Raistlin and Trunks, obv.
>>30664988I think Devon is a good first pick. Maybe Bite and/or Outrage to knock berries off the trees. Maybe Roar would have the same effect too?As for collection, maybe Destiny would be able to use her water gun or hydro pump or whatever to rake the berries into more easily collected piles?
>>30664988She thought this was a war over her childhood friend. Sorry Jeanine, surprise lesbians.
>>30665023We don't have Vlad.
>>30665020>Devon (Houndour)>Destiny (Horsea)>Trunks (Phantump)>Raistlin (Abra)>Nibbles (Tyrunt)>Leviathan (Gyarados)
If Trunks is up for it, he would be helpful.Vlad might eat the berriesDevon isn't really built for thisNeither is destinyLevi isn't eitherRaistlin maybe.Nibbles...Who's in our party right now?
>>30665050We're gonna end up in the town for the night and she'll either get an answer out of us or walking in on us. Fun times ither way

>>30664844She jelly as fuck because she thinks we're movin' on her guy.
>>30665089So I say we ask Trunks if he's up for it, he might still be depressed after his loss, and then ask Raistlin if he would like to help too.Think of it as having a bit of fun together, to make up for the previous loss.

>>30664997We care because Vance probably cares what a childhood friend thinks of us. Kat is used to having uncontested control over Vance and Robin. Sure, they're her friends and she cares about their feelings, but she's also the undisputed leader of the group.>>30665103>Vance is off training somewhere>She hears moaning coming from Vances tent>Bursts into it, all crazy jelly>Kat and Robin messing around on Vances sleeping bag>"Sorry, Vance was out and Robin's flailing knocked over our tent again"

>>30665306Poison double type negates super damage.Although if it reflected reality, it would be, like, 10x more effective
>>30664997Eh, she is acting kind of protective.But we really don't care. It's just probably a good idea to stop her from stressing herself out over this. If she wants Vance, she can have him. They seem to like each other, and hell, Vance deserves to be happy after being playing matchmaker extraordinaire.
