Laki slowly climbs over the sand dune. The pokeball of the Kecleon she caught is in her hand. That one really fought hard. But you can see why. From it’s perspective, it’s defending it’s comrades. And because it was doing something it believed down to it’s core, it summoned way more strength than you’d ever expect. It almost wiped out Laki’s entire team. That’s real strength. That’s a lesson you think is going to stick with you.

You look at the scared Kecleon. For a second, you think it’s relaxing, but it recoils again when you move. An older looking one seems to reassure it. It makes you feel terrible. You want to tell them that they have nothing to worry about, but you don’t think they’d understand or believe you. You did help trap them, after all. But it’s for a good cause. They’ll be moved somewhere better, and the Slaking won’t go hungry any more.

Keira yawns. “Great! Let’s get the Kecleon off the island.”

>Right. Go find the old man
>Wait, you want to talk to Laki first
>Wait, let’s sweep over the island and make sure there are none left
>Keira seems bored. Why is that?

“Sure. In a second.” You tell Keira, then pat her on the back as you get up. It’s not until she excitedly perks up that you realize you did it. Keira really responds to physical affection.

“Okay!” You sits cross legged and looks over the Kecleon.

You meet Laki halfway.

“Hey Soft Hands. What’s up?”

“Crazy battle.” You try to approach the subject tactfully. You’re just not sure about her reaction before.

“Yeah.” She sighs. “I really got my butt whupped, huh?”

“It wasn’t so bad. And Kecleon really seemed t-”

“It was. Don’t lie.” She says. “I barely stopped it. I was going to try taking it on myself because I didn’t think I had the skill to get Wailmer a win after he chewed through everyone else. It’s frustrating. Jane beats me in battles. Hana beats me in arm wrestling. Polu is better at surfing than I am at pole vaulting.” You don’t know about that last one. Polu’s great, but she went to the international games, right?

She seems to push all her concerns deep down. “Sorry, Soft Hands. I’m tired and complaining about nothing. I don’t complain this often, you know. You bring it out of me. Come on, let’s see if we get a reward for getting extra Kecleon.”

“Wait, arm wrestling? You mean against Hana’s arm? Because that’s not exactly fair.”

“Fair is something wusses complain about. There’s never a fair fight. If you can’t overcome something because of a little unfairness, then your victory or defeat was just a coin flip anyway.” Her tone isn’t harsh, she seems to be reciting from somewhere else. To her, that’s just like correcting someone’s bad math. “And Jane just destroyed me.” You think that has more than one meaning.

You give her a hug.

“Anything to get a face full of tits, huh?” She squishes you into her chest. Oh gosh. “At least I’m doing good there.”

“You’re good in lots of places.”

She turns around to look at her rear. “You think so? It’s not too big?”

“I-I meant you’re being too hard on yourself.”

“So you want to be hard on me instead, huh?” She runs her hand below your belly button.

“You’re deflecting.”

“Maybe. But that’s better than falling so far behind that my juniors are overtaking me.


“Well, maybe you could train to get better. Like how you’ve been helping me get more fit.”

She considers what you’re saying. So much so that she removes herself from pressing against you. Your heart is happy she’s taking this seriously, but your body misses the contact already.

“How do you get motivated to get better?”

Now it’s your time to think. “I just really enjoy cooking and fashion. I try to get better because I want to explore more about it. Getting better is a side-effect of doing what I want, I guess. I don’t really care if someone’s better than me. I like those things anyway.”

“You know why I got into pole vaulting?”

“Why?”

“It looked easy. Competition for women looked weak and I thought it was an easy way to get glory. I wanted to win and didn’t care what I was winning.”

You’re not really sure what to say. “So you don’t know what you’re passionate about?”

“I liked it, after awhile. But I never let myself like it too much. Fun distracts from improvement. But I guess if that strategy worked, things would have gone different.” She gets up to stretch. “Alright. That’s enough . You bring out my inner Nemo.”

“Emo?”

“Yeah, that. But I feel better. I'll think about training. I sort of have a plan already.”

You and Laki head back to where Keira is. She’s laying face up. You can’t really see her face.

Wait. She’s wiggling. No. Struggling! Something has her pinned down!

One of the net’s ropes comes loose.

Laki growls and bursts into a run. You do your best not to fall too far behind. She’s got her eyes on her objective already.

“Wailmer!” Laki yells to her pokemon. It keeps trying to approach, but invisible assailants keep it at bay. “Don’t let them intimidate you! Rollout!”

You’re unable to resist watching the massive pokemon start rolling in. Luckily, the Kecleon all watch too. Wailmer bowls an unknown amount of nearly invisible opponents over. Laki is making her way towards the weak part of the net. You hope she has that covered.

“Keira!” You rush towards her. You see Bella, Dice, Gobble, and Mace in a circle, backs to each other and facing opponents. You know they’re all capable battlers, but without direction they seem to be unable to make much progress. It doesn’t help that they don’t know exactly where to attack. You also get the feeling that the Kecleon are only trying to keep them at bay.

Your bag is on the way to Keira, and your pokemon aren’t far from her either. You don’t want to have them all work to help her in case the Kecleon decide to swarm on them while they’re doing that. You could peel one or two of them off, though.

You kick up your pan with your foot and catch it as you run forward. But you don’t strike the first Kecleon you can. Instead, you move past them and grab the one keeping the cloth over Keira’s mouth. You can feel that you have it by the scruff, and have that confirmed when it takes the colour of your arm. You toss it aside.

One jumps at you, but you block with the pan, let it drop tpo your foot, and send it flying like a sandal you’re kicking off. Another tries to get you with Fury Swipes, and once again you’re able to slap them away. You’re not even sure how. Your muscle memory just knows it, and somewhere in the back of your mind you remember playing a hand slap game with your sister. Or rather, her playing it at you.

You scoop up one Kecleon on Keira’s arm and throw it into the other. They bounce off each other and over some wet sand, getting a bit more visible.

Keira is able to get the others off her legs with her free arms. “How did you do that?”

“Do what?”

She isn’t able to follow up because a Kecleon swipes at her. She scurries back behind you.

Uh oh. They’re making a second hole in the net. They’re not all the way through yet, but they’ve gathered around it.

“Cut that out! We’re not trying to hurt you. We’re here to help!”

There’s a pause from the ones facing you, but not the ones near the net. Did Keira’s words get to them? Or are they just getting organized to do something?

Your pokemon gather by your side, being led by Gobble and Mace.

“We’re not against you. We’re here to help.”

A few slow down on the net. But one of the stronger guards says something and they turn back to it.

“Listen to him.” Keira pleads.

“I know pokemon have lots of differences, but all pokemon want to be in harmony with nature, right?”

One makes a noise. Keira translates. “It’s humans that are out of touch.”

You ignore it. “The native pokemon of this island are suffering because they’re not able to get food. And I know you don’t like worrying about big, scary, angry, hungry pokemon coming after you. Or getting separated when only a few are moved at a time.”

They burst into noises.

“We’re not native pokemon?”

“It’s a trick!”

“Maybe he’s telling the truth. This place doesn’t feel right.”

“We can’t trust them. The last human like him was cruel.”

Keira looks frazzled trying to keep up with it all, but she gets out a few phrases. She misses most of them, though.

“It’ll be way better. No Slaking or Vigoroth, no guys like that last one who was zapping everyone.” They seem confused. “Humans aren’t all the same. Some are...well, like Slakings I guess. Angry, always hungry, lazy. You get the idea.”

They seem much calmer now. The net is loose, but they’re not pouring out. It’s more of a reunion.

“So the others that were taken are okay?”

“Yes.” You nod. Keira nods with you.

“How can we trust you?” No matter how often you hear Keira’s voice translate, it also seems weird to you. She’s always so cheery sounding.

“Collateral. I’ll go with you. That way you don’t have to worry about it being a trap.”

They discuss it among themselves. “No. Not you. Something else.”

“Why not me?”

“Too powerful a fighter. You could fight your way out. We couldn’t land a hit on you.”

Oh. Huh. Well that’s flattering. You think you’re just fluking your way through most of these.

“How about this?” You hold up your pan. They all gasp in amazement. It’s like some mythical weapon of old. You set it down in front of you. It feels like detaching and handing over a limb.

They scatter over it. A few of them drag it back. “Without his magical weapon, even he can’t stand against all of us.” Keira translates for one. They take turns touching it.

“So it’s a deal?” You’re incredibly anxious to be separated from it already. You hope they don’t get any ideas.

“Yes. We believe you. But we’ll return it when we’re safe.”

“What about our champion?”

Oh yeah. “I’ll talk to Laki.” You know her island has a tradition about keeping the pokemon they catch, but there’s got to be some sort of exception, right?

“Laki! Laki!” You and Keira run over to her. She’s on her knees, holding a limp Kecleon in one hand, raised fist in another. Her clothes are tattered, her hair's a mess, she’s covered in light scratches. She sees you and the Kecleon in much more peaceful situation. “What the shit?” She drops the Kecleon. It manages to scramble away from her.

“We worked out a deal.” Keira explains.

Laki just slumps back onto her bum.

You and Keira fill Laki in. She’s so worn out that she just accepts it without any questions. At least, until you get to the part with her Kecleon.

“Release it, huh?” She looks to Keira to check something.

Keira nods.

Laki stretches. “Yeah. I guess I can.” Despite her tone, you get the sense that there’s a lot going on underneath.

“But I thought if someone from your island catches a pokemon, they have to train it no matter what.”

“Kecleon doesn’t want that. There are ways around it.”

“Like what?”

“Don’t worry about it, Soft Hands.”

>Press her.

“I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

She smirks. “You sure love making work for yourself, Soft Hands. But don’t worry about it.”

She says that, but you’ve already made up your mind. You’ll just have to do it later, though.

“Where’s Wailmer?” Keira looks around. It’s not on the land anywhere. Was it knocked out?”

“Wailord.” Laki beams. A huge jet of water erupts from the ocean, as if she summoned it. “I think he was close to evolving before I caught him.”

You, Keira, Laki, and your pokemon find the man in charge and explain that the Kecleon are willing to leave.

“Eh? What?” He doesn’t seem to believe what you’ve said. At least, until he goes to look at the discolored blob of kecleon on the beach..“Well I’ll be. How’d you manage that?”

Keira tells him all about it. You’re feeling a bit introspective still. You keep trying to figure out what Laki’s hiding.

“Well, I have to say. I am impressed.” He bows deeply to Laki. She looks pretty shaken at the gesture. He bows to Keira next, and she accept sit with an unusual maturity and grace. She seems able to just switch that on for when she needs to be more Priestess-like.

Then he bows to you. It’s subtle, but you can tell it’s slightly less than what he did for Laki and Keira.

You reach out and shake his hand. He isn’t really sure what to do with that and freezes up.

“It’s a custom from the mainland. A handshake is a sign of respect.”

He considers it and checks his hand after you let go. “I see. Is it among equals? If so, you shouldn’t make assumptions.”

“I didn’t mean to be presumptuous.” Uh oh. You’re getting worried now.

“Son. I don’t think you realize what I’m saying. This island owes the three of you a great debt. Today, you carry a heavy honor.” He gestures to Laki. “You especially.” He takes out some paper and begins writing something. “When you get back to Eelilee, give this note to the temple.”

“Thanks!” Keira smiles. “Where are the Kecleon going?”

“There’s a small island set aside just for this sort of thing nearby. If they want, they can go back to the mainland on the next freighter, or stay there.”

“Great.” Laki says. “I’ll release the one I caught.” She bows and leaves.

Are threads always this short? Maybe it's because I only took part in /tg/ stuff and Gobs is one I've recently tried to pick up, but it seems that /tg/'s threads went on for a lot longer.

Not bashing you Gobble, run for however long you want, I'm just curious.

I'm really interested in whatever is going on with Laki, but I don't want to press her too hard either. I'm nervous that she's being saddled with more internal conflict than she already has. Hopefully a good dose of vitamin Herb will help her out. (Vitamin Herb is emotional support.)

It seems too poetic not to happen.

>>1458618

>>1458713
That would be a really cool thing.

>Your muscle memory just knows it, and somewhere in the back of your mind you remember playing a hand slap game with your sister. Or rather, her playing it at you.

Herbs Onee-San is an even bigger badass than him. The reason for his self-esteem issues are because he's been comparing himself to her his whole life.

I realize it's a bit early to think about this, but is anyone else intetested in playing a straight-up wandering hero Aura Guardian in the next Pokemon Quest (Gobble or otherwise, thiugh preferably Gobble)?

"Keira really responds to physical affection."
Kieras cute, looking forward to aura mixing, we should be able to learn about our healing abilities.

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes are always welcome and encouraged. 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 circumstances warrant.

Combat mechanics involve three rolls of 1d100, taking the best, and using the base accuracy and crit ranges of the game, roughly, but the 'turn order' will be more like the anime, where sometimes you can do a few moves in a row or be hit by a combo of moves yourself, all depending on circumstances. Stronger moves tend to take more time and have more cooldown than weaker moves, so beware of that timing. Speed is more important for closing ground, intercepting, and other things and doesn't necessarily mean going first. Infact, you can do more than one move in a row like the anime, but so can your opponents.

Call me out on a mistake and receive a suggestive picture, mostly likely a butt.

You decide your time is best spent healing everyone up. They gave their all and they deserve it. You’re really feeling on the ball today too. Must have been that extra sleep you got.

You start with your pokemon. They aren’t too bad and don’t need that much. You find Bella is exaggerating her injury to try to milk sympathy out of you. You also find yourself giving it anyway because she’s so cute about it. Mace is stoic about his. Looks like he was running a lot of interference for the others. Gobble doesn’t have much of note, except you notice he’s getting a lot stronger. Dice barely notices, but seems very easy to treat. He’s got to mental armor. You find that when a pokemon is nervous or upset or just not very open, they’re harder to treat. Dice is the easiest customer by far. Barely a thought is held back. Or used. But that’s okay. He doesn’t seem worse off for it.

You heal up the other’s pokemon as well. Nincada is very grateful. It opens up, but only after you’re done. It’s a shy little critter. Cutiefly seems very invigorated by it. Tropius is starting to really like you and even rests her head on your lap. You wish you could sit back and relax like that, but there are more pokemon to heal.

Wailord is open and happy, but takes a lot out of you. That’s a pokemon with a large constitution! Chatot is a bit embarrassed about it’s loss before and takes some effort. Meowth seems very entitled to it, as well as some scratches.

You go to the Kecleon now too. They’re cautious at first, but after the first one, they’re in awe. You heal them up a few at a time. You’re going way paste your previous limits on the amount you’re doing, but you guess because you’re pacing it out, had a good long rest, spent the day before relaxing, and have been eating well, you have a lot of reserve energy. You’re pretty inspired by how amazed the Kecleon are with you, too. They’re mostly not very hurt, so that helps as well. They swarm over their champion to tell him all about it when he comes back. You guess Laki is all done releasing him.

Keira turns it down. “I’m fine. I just got held down. They were actually really gentle. That cloth tasted bad, though.” She winks. “How about some cooking instead?”

“Sure. I could whip up a-”

“Herb. I was kidding.” She giggles. “You already did a lot. Relax.”

You glance over to Laki to see how she’s doing. She clearly doesn’t want to talk about it. She’s not in a bad mood, but she looks like she wants to be left with her thoughts for awhile. You all head to Wailmer, and the Kecleon board as well. Keira volunteered to take the Kecleon to the small island instead of waiting for their ship. You’re glad. That means less waiting to get your pan back.

“Thanks again, young ones.” The old man says, then looks to you. “You’re one of the good ones.”

>Cool. Let’s go!

You have nothing left to do here, and decide to leave. You all get aboard Wailord. This is a huge upgrade in room. Despite the near army of Kecleon, there’s still plenty of space. You check your map for where you’re going.

“Oh! I know this island! It’s a reserve for mainlander pokemon!” Keira points.

“A reserve?”

“Yeah huh! A long time ago, when the sailors started appearing, we kept them all to one island, Take. But the pokemon they brought still sometimes found their way to other places. So we set aside some small islands. Lots of mainlander Pokemon end up here when caught. We have to be really careful not to let any on Wailmer when we leave.”

“So it has a lot of food for them?”

“Oh yeah. The grass temple even has a whole sect dedicated to keeping mainlander plants here. I’ve only stopped by for short visits, but it seems really neat. Your plants don’t do well in the heat. But with the right cooling and canopy, everything works out.”

You arrive after a surprisingly short trip. You didn’t even have time to think about training. The Kecleon depart off onto the island. They cautiously check out the beach, and slowly expand out. They don’t seem to want to leave you.

The champion holds out your pan. But it doesn’t seem ready to give it over just yet. He looks upset. But also like the pan might give him some sort of power.

You look back at Laki. She’s still on Wailmer, on the far end. Way out of earshot.

>Wait for him to be ready. No rush. Sure, you really want to get it back and you think they painted on the handle and you were worried about somebody dropping it into the ocean and just want to hold it so you can feel secure again. But no rush.

You sit cross legged next to him. You really, really want your pan back. You’ve become surprisingly attached to it after it’s saved your bacon more than a few times. And in a few different ways, too.

It eyes you up and down. Keira comes and plops right next to you. And you wait.

“So.”

It glances up at you, then goes back to checking out it’s magical weapon.

You patiently vibrate your leg and look around. The other Kecleon all seem preoccupied with their new home. You have to admit, they seem more attuned to this some of flora. Actually, you feel a sort of nostalgia here, too. The smell of the different trees reminds you of your old home.

“Did you maybe want to come with us after all?”

It looks offended. Angry, even. It throws the pan back at you, but it goes wide over your head and lands in the shallow beach water. You rush over to get it, as if it will float away. It huffs off in a puff.

“He said you don’t get to fight, catch, release, and re-invite it.” Keira tells you. “And some other words that my old teacher told me I should find substitutes for when translating.”

You watch it vanish into the greenery. It makes you a bit sad to part on that note. All the other Kecleon seem happy though. You get the feeling you might see him again.

“I’ll make dinner.” Laki appears out of nowhere.

“You can cook?” Keira asks.

“Of course I can cook.” She takes an apron out of nowhere. “My mom actually used to want me to make a nice housewife. I guess some of it stuck.” The apron is clearly made for someone less...shapely.

“So Herb. What do you want to do now?”

“Can we do aura mixing?”

“Oh. Oh goodness.” You think she’s blushing. You can’t see it through her face paint, of course, but the way she looks away and her eyes dart, it’s hard to imagine anything else going on. “Yes. Yes of course. I’ll get things ready.”

She scurries off to the edge of the brush, but stops. “It’ll take awhile. Laki, can you keep our food aside?”

Laki looks up. “Huh? Yeah. Okay. You’re welcome.” You look to Laki, but she gives a reassuring look to let you know she’s not being serious, and that she doesn’t mind. “Go do your thing.”

Alright. If she’s okay.

“Wait. Herb?”

You stop. “Yeah?”

“Thanks for being you. I know I’ve been taking up all your time and generally being a huge mess. Just want you to know I’m good, and you don’t always have to be at my beck and call. You’ve got things going on too. I guess I’m saying I appreciate it, but I’ll be fine if you’re not always available. I don't like dumping it all on you like that, and I'm sure you're sick of it by now.”

Seems accurate.

Also, it's interesting that Laki is thinking that she's the one taking up our time, when we're having her chauffeur us around and she's always looking out for us. Laki's a nice girl.

“I like helping. It’s really not a problem.” You go to hug her. She sets the ladle down to hug back, but not before making sure nobody is watching. “Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help. Especially from me.”

“You’re a sweet guy, Herb. I feel guilty making you do so much. But uh, don't tell anyone I said that.”

“I really don’t mind. But if you want, -and this isn’t an obligation-," you feel the need to add, "maybe you can find something to do for me.” Like help you sew up a nice costume for your pokemon. Or shop for exotic island spices. You don’t like asking her for a favor, but you know how you feel when you want to repay someone. You’ve learned that letting someone do you a favor can actually be a favor to them.

“I bet you’re thinking of some ways right now.” She laughs and winks. “We’ll see. But you look like you’re going to do fine in that area without me. Go get your dick wet.”

“I’m not- I mean, we-”

She laughs. “You really are the easiest person in the world to tease. But seriously though. If you need girl advice, I’m close enough to one. I’ll help you get in there.”

“Laki. Look at you. You’re super feminine.” You blurt out before your brain comes up with a better way to phrase it.

She turns you around and slaps you on the butt. “Go. I’ll keep an eye on the pokemon. Come on. What’s someone got to do to get some alone time?”

You follow her instructions and go. Now, where did Keira get to?

“Boo!” A bush with eyes scares the pasta out of you.

“Ah!” You stumble back.

“I like that word. ‘Boo’.” She muses. “Come. Sit. Oh, and get naked.”

“Naked?”

“Well, you don’t have to, but it helps most people. It’s a symbolic barrier. Your choice, though.”

Yes good

Heh
I imagine Herb uses types of pasta as exclamatory phrases. It pleases me.

What are other good food expressions?
Now we're cooking with gas!
The world is your oyster.
Oh Sugar Honey Ice Tea!
That's the way the cookie crumbles.
You can't have your cake and eat it too.
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Breaking bread. (Maybe)
What am I, chopped liver?
Your goose is cooked.

Herb is not to get naked with anyone but his wife, Laki

especially not some ugly warthog with a skull face

“If it helps...” You start taking your shirt off. Then everything else except your underwear. You turn around and see her completely naked.

“You’re still upset.” She says, referring to that night in the shed, looking a bit depressed. “It’s okay.”

“No. No. It’s fine.” You quickly shunt them down. “I was just surprised.”

She stares. Why does she have to stare? You’re actually almost thankful. The pressure keeps it from acting up. At least, for a moment. But then it moves.

“Great!” She finally stops and clasps her hands. Thank Arceus. “Okay. sit here. Now, this can be pretty intense. We’ll both have some control, but not all of it. It’s like two people on a canoe going down an unfamiliar river. Before we start, is there anything I should avoid?”

“What do you mean?” You keep your eyes on hers. Mostly. She doesn’t seem to be offering the same consideration for your modesty, though.

“I mean, we’re made up of our experiences, and so when you’re exploring an aura, you also explore memories. Well, sort of.”

“Isn’t that more of a psychic thing?”

“Yes!” She lights up. “So you know a bit about that? That’s neat! But we don’t just look for specific memories. They come out on their own if they represent that aspect of you a lot. But they also get modified sometimes. Or it’s not a memory, but a scenario. It’s mostly feelings, but those do pop up.”

“I don’t really understand.”

“It’s okay. You will when we get into it.” She adjusts how she’s sitting and you end up with a slightly better view. “Is there anything we should avoid?”

You inhale and consider her question. A lot of memories seem to randomly spark out at you with all these familiar trees and plants and smells.

>Nope. You want to be an open book
>Feelings of inadequacy. That’s just too much to expose
>Physical aspects. Your right hand has some muscle memory you’d like to not let her be familiar with
>Feelings of pride. It might be embarrassing if your prideful moments aren’t that impressive
>Religious feelings
>Something else

We're already naked in front of her.

>>1460153
> Private memories. Things you can't talk about.

>>1460153
>>Nope. You want to be an open book
It's fiiiiine~

Also, hi Gobble!

>>1460153
>Physical aspects. Your right hand has some muscle memory you’d like to not let her be familiar with

This is a fair enough inhibition.

>>1460153
Yeah, let's keep her away from seeing our escapades with Hana and Laki. Not out of shame, but because it's not totally ours to share, you know? Oh, and Rayquaza and Polu's private conversations. Basically, secrets that are not our own.

Otherwise, I think an openness will do us good.

>>1460153
>Nope. You want to be an open book
>We're probably both going to know some embarrassing stuff about each other after this, so we'll be kind of even, right?

>>1460173
I agree. Those aren't ours to share.

>>1460173
I hadn't thought about that, but that's a good point. I'll back this.

>>1460173
You know what, I agree with this as well.

>>1460173
Yeah, the latter is what I was trying to get at with private memories

>>1460186
I had a suspicion as much, but the phrasing was a little vague. If I were to put it into words Herb would speak verbatim, it would be
>"Private moments with others and secrets I've promised to keep."
That way we cover bases like how Jane didn't want us to talk about how much she owes Laki.

>>1460153
>Something else
the spirit meditation dream thing with Rayquaza.


>Physical aspects. Your right hand has some muscle memory you’d like to not let her be familiar with
I want to know what this is about.

>>1460196
That's a good way of putting it

>>1460208
Jerking off I'd guess

>>1460153
>>1460173
Supporting this.

>>1460208
Secret carrot peeling technique.

>>1460212
Does that really cause muscle memory?

>>1460226
Try jerking it with your non-dominant hand and see if it feels the same.

Science CAN be fun!

But seriously, report back.

“It’s not likely I’ll even see anything, but it’s better to be careful. I really wouldn’t know any details unless that one memory was the pillar of that part of you. Like if you have a bad rash for a long time and can never get rid of it, that might be the part of you that represents discomfort.”

“Well, just one thing. I have some private memories.”

She cocks her head.

“Physically intimate private memories. That involve other people.”

“Who?” She leans in excitedly.

“That’s the thing. I’d like to keep them secret. I feel like it’s not just mine to share. And a few other things that involve secrets.” You think about Jane. Then Rayquaza. Oh yeah, that’d be bad. "I guess just things that feel secret and involve other people. I don't know if that counts as a category. But yeah. That sort of thing."

She leans back, a bit disappointed. “As a priestess, I'd never reveal anything like that, but alright.” She sets a tub of what looks like ordinary body paint between the two of you, then holds out a pestle with something crushed in it. You guess she’s going to mix it in. “It’s different tea than your vision quest, but the same idea. The more we use, the more intense it can get. We don’t need it, especially since you seem to have a bit of a gift, but it helps too.”

We do this all the way or the wrong way.
