You don’t know what to do. The thought of it makes you want to barf, but the only solution you can see is convincing them to let you break the wing to reset it.

“Hey, Murkrow. I need to do something that’s going to hurt.”

He cocks his head and narrows his eyes.

“I know. But it’s to heal the wing. See, it’s already healed. The only way to set it right is to heal it again. That means...breaking it.”

Murkrow, the skinny one, puffs up. You try not to flinch at the sudden move.

“Can’t we take it to a pokemon center?” Laki asks.

“They’d have to do the same thing.” Hana answers.

“I can promise for a fact that the one it town doesn’t have any painkillers.” Abigail says. “And...don’t tell her I said this, but our nurse can barely handle pressing the button on the machine.” Abigail is still watching you, curious as to how you’re going to heal this. “I’m guessing with your confidence about healing, you can do a better job.”

“I can make some medicine that will numb the pain. Mostly.” Keira volunteers.

Murkrow is looking a bit overwhelmed. He’s stuck on the thought of breaking the wing. The fat one seems apprehensive and unsure as well.

This is going to take some convincing. You’ve got to show them you can heal it. You completely understand why they-

There’s a sharp cracking noise. Everyone turns to see Hana holding her normal pinkie with her robotic hand. She broke it.

“WOAH!” Laki leaps.

“Hana!”

“What are you doing!”

“It’s okay Murkrow. I know what it’s like to have to be hurt to be healed. I’m with you.” Hana, trembling in pain, holds her hand out to you. “Watch closely.”

You have a lot you want to say, but you don’t want her to linger in pain. You reach out, close your eyes, and with everyone watching, focus your healing on her finger.

You just don’t feel on the ball right now. When it’s over, you see Hana giving a brave smile and showing Murkrow. Murkrow seems to be impressed and amazing and coming around, but Hana is having trouble pretending that it’s fully healed.

“So can we go ahead?” Laki pushes Murkrow?

His sister, watching, lifts her weak broken wing, she nods to him. He very slowly nods to you. He’s really suspicious, but doesn’t seem to have any better alternative.

Everyone waits around for a short bit while Keira rushes to come up with something for the pain. You’d volunteer to help, but you just don’t know enough about plants or medicine to be of any use, and the makeshift mortar and pestle is being handled by Laki.

Hana is sitting a little bit away.

You sit down next to Hana. She’s got a smile plastered on her face, but water in her eyes.

“I don’t want to complain, but I don’t think that healed all the way.” She mutters quietly, giving you a look showing she suspects you already know. “Can you manage with the wing?”

“Umm, I think so.” You glance back over to the Murkrows. The one you deal with is watching the painkiller being made, but clearly lost.

“About what you did...”

“I know.” She interrupts. “I pretty much immediately regretted it. But it worked, right?”

“Well, he’s convinced, but I don’t know if you needed to go that far. Are you okay? That had to really hurt.”

Her smile softens. The eyes that she gives you are ones you’ve only seen a few times from her. It makes you feel like a child being looked through by someone five times your age. “It’s nothing I’m not used to.”

“That’s...” you scratch your head, hoping it’ll loosen out the right word, “brave of you. But please don’t do something like that again. I don’t like to see you hurt.”

The look in her eye fades a little. “Sorry. And thanks.” She nudges your shoulder lightly.

You smile, she smiles back. You share a nice little moment.

You close your eyes and try to focus your thoughts. That conversation put you a little more at ease. You’re still worried about her, but you feel like you got to know a part of her you’re still very unfamiliar with. You feel a bit more centered.

“All ready?”

You open your eyes. You don’t know how much time passed, but you can see the larger Murkrow already drank something Keira gave her. Laki is standing over two boards that she set up, with a place to put the wing. You feel a little sick just looking at it.

Hana stands up. “I’ll-”

“Nope. I will.” Laki says. She doesn’t seem like she’s trying to be too bossy, but more that she’s firmly concerned about Hana doing more right now.

>No. It’s your responsibility
>Look away and cover your ears. You can’t watch this
>Watch. You can’t look away, even if it might rattle you

>>1770229

You watch carefully. Stoically. Murkrow sees you, and so do the others.

Laki carefully places the larger, scared Murkrow down onto the contraption, whispers something assuring, and stands up straight. “Alright. On three, okay? One. Two. -”

She presses down hard. The sound, both from the snap and the noise Murkrow makes, is almost unbearable. The sight is pure panc

“Hold sti-!” Laki struggles “It’s okay. Hold still.”

Keira moves in to help as well. Abigail watches, trying to keep her lunch down.

Hana urges you forward.

“Uh, right.” you quickly move over and kneel down. Your own pokemon move themselves and each other out of the way, all watching carefully.

You put a hand on the wing that the large Murkrow bravely does it’s best to keep still. Or maybe it’s just loopy from the medicine. You can’t really tell. You focus on the task at hand instead, and let your energy flow into your healing.

It’s become a lot less about forcing the flow, and a lot more about making a simple connection of energy to the right spots and feeling it suck out of you. You work more on controlling how much and how fast it flows and cutting it off at the right time than anything else. When you feel like you have it, you stop and open your eyes.

There’s a silence as everyone watches. The large Murkrow is calm. It gets up. Laki let’s it go carefully.

There’s a test flap, then another. It adjusts the wing back and forth, checking every little bit and re-familiarizing itself with how it’s supposed to rest on it’s body.

Then she takes off. There’s a collective sigh of relief, followed by gasps as it caws in delight. She’s full of energy and life, and despite her large size she really books it around. She tires quickly though, and comes down to a sloppy stop in front of your group again.

You waver in dizziness. It passes quickly.

“Amazing!” Abigail says. “I....how?”

The larger Murkrow flies onto your shoulder and gives you a playful peck on the head. Ow. But you laugh anyway as it flies to do the same to Laki next

The others are more celebratory. Murkrow, the smaller one, approaches with tears in his eyes. He looks up at you, not knowing what to say or do.

You slap his wing with a high five. He jumps, but feels foolish when he sees you were just giving a nice gesture.

To emphasis the point, you kneel down and hug him. But he doesn’t like this at all. He freaks out, clawing at you. You flinch and squish him in forcefully, but not enough to hurt him, as his talon gets stuck on your shirt. There’s a small struggle before you’re able to let go and he can also get free.

“Woah!” You fall back. Mace leaps in front to defend you.

Murkrow quickly gets a hold of himself and backs down. He looks at the ground apologetically, and explains.

“He says that he doesn’t like being hugged.” Keira tells you. “He likes to have his wings free all the time.”

“Ah. Sorry, Murkrow.”

“He says he’s sorry. He hopes your feather-dress is alright.”

“My...” you look at the shoulder of your shirt. Some strings are pulled. You’ll have to see if you can fix that later. “It’s fine.”

He looks like he’s

You get up and stretch, looking around at the others.

“I’d like to speak to whoever is trading you all this food.” Keira says. “I want to have a word with him.”

“Oh good. More Loanah clergy enforcement of what we’re allowed to do.” Abigail says to nobody in particular.

“I just want to talk.” Keira looks wounded, and a little upset.

“And if you don’t like what they have to say?”

Keira has no answer. Murkrow pipes in, though. “He says that their leader will lose his mind if anyone else tries to go over his head and talk to the human that trades them food”

“Hey, Laki!” You quickly try to deflate the situation. “Let’s teach them how to forage!”

“You know how to forage?” Abigail asks, genuinely curious

“I uhh, no. But Laki does.”

Laki gives you a hesitant look. “Kind of. Keira’s probably the best, though.”

“How come nobody asked me?” Hana says.

The three girls all look at each other, then share restrained giggles.

“What?”

“You’re more of a mainlander than Soft Hands.” Laki tells her. “It’s fine. You know about...movies!”

Hana puts her hand in her pocket and flinches. Her pinky must still hurt a lot. “Anyway, Keira, go ahead.”

A few curious Murkrow come gather around as well. They seemed to be drawn in from the screech of the broken wing earlier.

Keira looks at everyone staring at her. She perks up. “Alright! Well, first, you want to keep an eye out for...”

She goes on talking about different edibles you can forage, how to spot ripe fruits and what’s not ripe, easily confused plants, and other things

You slowly back away, giving more room to Gobble and the other pokemon. Gobble seems keenly interested in this talk about where he can find food.

You sit next to Hana and take her hand in yours.

She flinches. “It’s fine. You don’t need to push yourself on my-”

You let more of your energy flow out. You get a little lightheaded.

She loosens up, looking drastically more relaxed. She still winces a little as she moves it around, but she looks like she at least doesn’t have constant pain any more.

“Thanks. I...are you okay? You look paler than u...you look pale.”

“Oh yeah. I’m fine.” You blink it off.

“Okay.” She squeezes your hand. “Thanks. I... I want to make it up to you later.”

“Oh, you don’t have to.”

She smiles. “I want to.”

“But how-”

She pushes some fingers together and mumbles some things you don’t quite hear.

“Make sense?” Keira says loudly to the crowd of Murkrow.

They caw.

“Great! Then everyone try to look for one of the plants I mentioned, and come back here.” They all disperse. “Have a blessed time!”

You slump. Looks like Keira wants to stay around for a bit and make sure they’ll do their exercise alright.

You guess you have a little time, then.

You yawn as you lean your head on Hana’s shoulder. She makes a small, cute little noise before putting her arm around you.

You’re just going to rest your eyes for a bit, then start on some training. Maybe you can study while that’s happening. You let your mind wander a bit instead of thinking up the best plan. You just need a little time.

You slowly wake up, wiping some slobber from your mouth. It’s dark. As your eyes adjust, you see you were sleeping under a blanket on top of Hana.

“Morning wood? I call it breakfast in bed.” Hana mumbles.

You freeze, looking down at Hana. But you see that she’s just mumbling in her sleep.

You get your bearings a little more and find that everyone else is asleep too. Laki is close by, but has the larger Murkrow sleeping on top of her. They didn’t bother setting up a tent, but there is a hastily assembled canopy in case of rain.

You stretch, wondering what you’re going to do in the middle of the night. That’s when you spot Keira. She’s got the Time Flower in her hands, and she’s muttering about trying to solve it.

“Come on.” She mutters. “Why won’t you open up? I’m a priestess!”

“Need any help?”

She glances back. Her facepaint is running slightly from the sweat on her face. It looks like she’s been working hard at this. “Oh. Hi Herb.” She holds it towards you. “I guess you probably have the aura powers to open this. Just like you do everything else.” She stops herself. “I’m sorry. That’s not right of me. That’s not Priestess-like. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

You hold up the flower to what little light you can find, inspecting it, while Keira tells you what happened. The group decided to stay there until you woke up. Laki spent the time trying to get the Murkrow to exercise, and Hana kept insisting she was happy to be your pillow. Abigail and Keira had been trading ideas.

“So, what do you think?”

You hand it back to her. She looks at it in her hand.

“I think you can do it.”

“I’ve been trying.” There’s a slight edge of frustration on her voice.

“Well, maybe you just need a different approach.” You start. “Close your eyes.”

She does so, and focuses. You walk her through the feeling you have when you heal. The way your sort of slowly approach another aura and let a connect just happen, keeping the perfect distance. It’s like a magnetic liquid, where you only want to drain some, but not all of it. You don’t know if that’s the best metaphor but it’s the best you can do.

And suddenly, you find yourself surrounded by silent lights. It’s like a holographic movie playing of you and the group earlier in the day. You see Hana slowly bringing you down to a more comfortable position, Laki training with Murkrow, Abigail calling home on her pokedex. It’s amazing.

Keira wavers back and forth in her seated position, in a trance. Sweat pours down her face. But from her expression, you can see she’s thrilled, if strained, to be able to do this.

“Let me help you.” You say, uncertain if she can really hear you right now. You sit next to her and take her hand in yours.

Okay, Herb. Just like before. Pour your aura into her. She opens up and lets you give her everything.

Her eyes glow and she goes into overdrive. The holographic vision goes back farther. Much farther. You see flashes of light as it speeds backwards into the past. What’s more though, you see yours and Keira’s auras glowing bright white. It’s like you both enter into another realm.

Finally, the rushing ends, and you find yourselves floating spectrally above your bodies. She looks to you, trying to see if you see this.

“Y-yeah.”

“What...what do we do?”

Some sort of spectral winds rush around you. You can see the real world, but also another layer on top of it. The sleeping people and pokemon have a faint glow to them.

She, or her aura, rather, look around. With some concentration, she rewinds -for lack of a better term- to see things that happened earlier that day. You watch as Abigail and Laki debate over who caused the great disaster that ade large parts of the interior of Tabo unusable.

Keira concentrates again, harder, and goes back to events that must have happened years ago, judging by the clothes of the Loanan people you see run by.

“We can see things that have happened.” She tells you. “We can...we can see who caused it. The disaster, I mean.”

“Is this safe?”

She shrugs. “I don’t know. But we have a saying. ‘Life is never safe from death.’ It doesn’t translate that well, but it means, well, that you never know what will happen.”

That’s not very encouraging.

“We have a chance to see things, Herb. I don’t know how long we can keep this up.”

“Alright. Let’s do it.”

“You mean, see what happened to cause the disaster?”

“Yeah. It could solve a lot, right?”

She looks down at Abigail and Laki. “I hope so.”

You try to push your aura to fly. To your surprise, it works. It just feels natural. You zoom off towards Tabo’s interior.

Keira laughs and laughs, ecstatic at this new journey. “It’s like a dream vision on Hakululu smokeleaf, but different.”

She reaches out to hold your hand so you don’t get separated. It feels warm. But you can slowly feel your energy draining as well. Whatever you do tonight, you’ll have to ration out your energy.

You keep zooming, going faster and farther. Various random visions of the past play out on the land below you. You only catch small flashes and scenes.

But one jumps out at you. A young trainer with an old Heracross.

“Dad!” You stop in your tracks.

Keira stops with you.

You look down, watching dad play with his Heracross.

“Do you want to stay?” She offers.

You hold her hand again. You can sense the worry in her voice. “No. Let’s keep going.”

She flickers a little, but refocuses. The two of you head to the interior of Tabo, to see what happened, how, and maybe, find the truth. It’s strange. You don’t feel like you have a personal stake in that, and you don’t think Keira really cares either, but the two of you both seem invested anyway. You guess the idea of settling a debate and bringing peace to at least Laki and Abigail is enough. There’s also the curiosity factor.

How's the Laki bin coming Gobble?

>>1771592
I'd like to take this opportunity to bring up the time you said that if Kat had over exerted herself while healing Robin, we would have played as Robin for a while.

I love alt-perspective bits, so I would love the opportunity to play as Gobbo or Mace or something, if not Laki/Hana. But if we wait until Herb gets incapacitated to do so, I worry it will never happen. Maybe put Herb on a bus for a bit while he aura trains? I dunno.

I think I posted a list of bin ideas towards the end of the last thread.

I wanna get Mace to tell campfire stories.

Having given it some thought, I hope that either we don't learn how to talk to pokemon, or if we do, it is more of an understanding of intent than a language.

>>1771592

I want more of Laki and Hana forming a relationship beyond "You like Herb? I also like Herb."

[They're coming around. Well, especially Hana. They're a bit in stasis though, wanting to get more intimate with Herb first. Laki's main reservation is frankly that she finds Hana's unbreakable spirit intimidating. Hana's is her fear of exposing her power level to Herb, let alone Laki. But every day she gets a little bolder. She also is sort of looking to Herb and Laki on what's expected of her and what the rules are.

I'll try to put more in and give Herb some chances to be more involved. I think a date night would do everyone some good.]

I think the important thing is to take that kind of thing slow, done correctly it could be a really interesting method of storytelling that would add variety; incorrectly could be just terrible and destroy the feeling of the whole quest, which if you ask me is your main selling point as a QM.

It's probably not a bad idea to do it for just 1 or 2 threads max at first and judge how if effects the story and the gauge readers opinions on it, if it works out you could later to greater effect.

>>1771638
I feel like Herb would benefit from seeing an example of a healthy harem relationship. Kat planted the idea that it was possible, but he should probably see it in action, get a chance to ask some questions. Are his girlfriends expected to date each other? Does he go on dates with them together or separate? Is it weird to show them off? You've seen people be proud and doting of their singular S.O. before. But you don't want to be an ass.

And also I want to see Herb talk to Kat/Robin/Clair while Hana is there too.

Also, I assume the key to alt-perspectives is to use them sparingly. And if people don't like it, I'd still like to see it as a mainstay of bins.

>>1771638
I like alternative perspectives, I think that say if some character splits off (pokemon or otherwise) and the action of some event is happening around someone other than Herb than we should vote to change perspectives so the players can do what they want. Also when Herb is knocked out of commission due to reasons i think it would be really fun to play another characters perspective.

>>1771638
The issue with different perspective threads is that anons don't act like the character they are: E.G. players might play Hana as a pure waif afraid of sex.

Some might play Laki as an evil vindictive bitch to take her out of the waifu race.

Alternatively they panic and make certain decisions out of fear which are totally out of character or just plain stupid.

>>1771715
I trust gobble to give us choices that are only in character for alt perspectives, I have no fear of meta-gaming or out of character actions happening if we control a non-Herb character because Gobble is that good a GM.

>>1771729
I agree Gobble is an excellent QM but the fact of the matter is they have no experience using alt perspectives and the readership has no experience using them in this quest, it's something that should be approached with caution at the very least.

>>1771638

[Hard to say. I like both major BTFO moments and close calls. I really enjoyed writing Robin vs her mother, even if that's a cheat since that wasn't really a voted on fight. Kat steamrolling with Oberon was fun, too. I liked the Ghost gym fight also, since it was a bit closer and I felt anons were giving it a lot of thought instead of trying to brute force. Anything that involves outsmarting my plans is always great to me.]

Or a guy with a Spinda who keeps from being predictable by spamming assist.

Etc.

[Eh. It's more accepted than you'd think, mostly. The more Herb proves himself, the more he's accepted. So far he's way ahead of any expectations. It's hard to hate such an enthusiastically nice guy. Someone so accomplished in such a short time must have great lineage. Or he's just cheating somehow and making a mockery of things. Either way, a fertility ritual is less about lewdness and jealously than it is about honoring the islands and making them stronger and more virile. He'd be amplifying the virility of the region itself, so any jealousy would (mostly) be evened out with excitement over that. Since fertility rituals are fairly rare, it's not a worry that it'd be abused.]

Those two are really good together. I didn't get rapey vibes from it, Laki is the good, responsible type of dominant, who is trustworthy and keeps up communication.

A few typos, but nothing that inhibited understanding except for "But if it is..." could probably be "But if so..."

I'm eager to see more people (mom, sister, Laki's family, Kat, Polu, Val) learn about our new relationship. Once we leave this island I'll be sure to ask in a post-thread what Abigail's impression of us was.

I agree with Laki. Fuckin' A.

Herb sure does have a type, huh? Kind, smart, islander girls who could break him in half. Good taste.

>>1780971
>But if it is
[Thanks. I feel like I rushed this one a bit so I'll give it a go over later, too]

>>1780971
Laki a best.


I'm actually intrigued to see where Laki and Val's whole 'things goes and how it gets handled. Does it end? Does Laki let it keep going but feels guilty about It? Does it keep going and she doesn't see it as an issue? How do Herb and Hana feel about it?

There's so much for these characters to talk about in their relationships. I'm really looking forward to it.

I wonder if Laki and Hana will end up going all the way with each other out of desperation before Herb's ready.

>>1780914
Goddamn. Just. Woo, lads. If Herb's first full time all the way is a threesome I -cannot wait- to see the dual POV's or switching views. Or maybe it'd be better to do that one through just Herb's view?"

>>1781031
I'm just eager to see Herb get a "dueling harmonicas."

But yeah, Herb is dating both of Val's potential romantic interests and it will be interesting to see if any emotions are stirred by that.

>>1781078
PoV switches depending on whos getting the D at the moment.

>>1780914
Very sexy stuff Gobble, but the real boner was in my heart. I really enjoy learning about Laki's internal struggles and it's cute to see how Herb effects her. I really enjoyed this bin, and I hope Herb succeeds in his goal of showing Laki just how beautiful she is as a person inside and out. Great work, Gobble.

>>1781081
We could always bring her into the fold. I doubt Laki would object much, since its another blonde toy for her to top. That said I wouldnt be surprised if Hana was ok with it as well.

>>1781140
I never got any sense that Herb and Val had those sorts of feelings for each other. It'd be interesting if Hana and Laki brought it up though. Herb probably doesn't want to share his girls, but wouldn't have much ground to stand on for the "I'm not sharing" position.

It's not a potential future that I see being likely though.

>>1781155
Well Herb and Val never got much alone time to begin with, minus a few phone calls. Speaking of which we havent called her in some time.

As for the sharing thing, Herb's still a bit inexperienced so it would probably be at one of the others (laki) that would make a suggestion of it.

>>1781168
Herb should be in the center and Jane where Herb's name is currently. You know she wont be left out if only to prove herself.

>>1781193
Well I doubt Val would be wanting to make it a 'serious' thing. If anything i see it as more of a friends with benefits. Besides Herb still has his hands full with two girls, he wouldnt be able to handle another one unless he pushes his 'manning up' to the extreme. I doubt fellow anons would want that. we'd be entering Max territory

Herb needs to have Laki be his first time.

Hana can watch and be bored with the vanilla lovey dovey aspects of it, imagining how she will break out the whip and handcuffs.

>>1781736
So, like, Herb and Laki finish having their first time and look over to Hana, who's suddenly chained up and helpless with a whip sitting in front of her?

>>1781736
do you really want to bring this fight up again Lakifag? Cuz last time we had it out you lost. Push it to hard and it may very well end up with Hana and Herb being the first time while Laki sits in the corner.

I see Val is having an interesting reaction to her first sight of the Dildo Pokemon.

Oy fuckers why you being salty when we got two wonderful ladies willing to go through this strange thing together with the (initially) express interest of trying to keep Herb happy.

They're wonderful characters and /I/ hope that the first night of penetrative sex is literally decided by something like a coin toss. Like, Herb's spent all day preparing a room, has the candles lit with the rose petals thrown about the room and Bella VERY SAFELY put away in her ball or the other pokemon are being babysat(Day care center use in a quest? Wooo!). So when those two enter the room they see Herb trying to be gentlemanly as fuck and failing cutely while being unable to decide how to proceed.
Perhaps the two girls exchange looks and do a rock, paper, scizor match to see who goes first or for the sake of /my/ fetish Hana is the "bigger" lady and coaches the two scrubs while getting off super hard because she has a goddamn voyeur fetish as is BLATANTLY obvious.

Can someone give me a run down on characters names and basic personality traits? I forget where I left off and I don't have time to restart. I remember a dominant ex Olympic player or something, a native with a face mask, a robot, and a bitchy girl. Also I remember a big Dragon pokemon coming down to eat people.
>>1783145
Glad to hear you're doing fine, you're one of my favorite authors, and seem to be a great person to boot

>>1784461
No, just read the quest man, it really isn't that long. Just search Gobble's trip and you'll read through the quest fast.

>>1784468
I've already read most of it though, just need a refresher. Doesn't matter though, if you don't wanna give it I'll figure it out on my own.

>>1784469
Ex Olympic is Laki, Kiera is the native pristess/face mask, robutt is Hana, and "bitchy" girl is probably Jane. You're missing Valerie who is the blonde daughter of the man who basically created the industry in the islands, she hasn't had much time to shine recently due to a lot of relationship stuff being settled and figured out.

After a rather large shitstorm(If you read it JUST read Gobble's posts, it'll save you brain cells) Laki and Hana are both with Herb in a relationship. Kiera and him are exploring more aura related stuff as they go around the islands.

I WOULD suggest just reading the archives though to get a real refresher because the characters have gone through a lot of exposition since the last time we met Hydregion(Dragon pokemon).

>>1784461
It sounds like you left off on thread #15, or possibly #13.

There's a lot to fill you in on, and I suggest reading the archives. But i understand some people are busy, so here's a shot at summing it up.

We play as Herb. He's not a confident boy, but he's taken the chance at reinventing himself moving provides to be, while still not confident, at least brave. Some mix of good luck and skill have made that bravery make him look super competent, even though Herb himself still has, to put it kindly, humility.

There are six other members of the main cast.

Polu: the other boy. He was heavily influenced by a surfer flick that was filmed on his home island when he was little. He's a competent battler, and easy to get along with. His island's faction of the Loanan faith, the normal temple, was banned a long time ago, and he believes it was due to the scheming ghost temple, and not his people's wrongdoings. Some people used to pretend to be his friend to get him to do stuff. He has a crush on a gym leader's daughter.

Valerie: Priveleged, sheltered, but not spoiled. Her father is the largest mover/shaker in Loanah. Along with Herb, she's the only white kid. She does contests. Gets along well with Herb, and sees us as someone who tells it like it is ever since we gave her a really honest opinion of her a while back. She wanted to take her journey as a chance to exercise some independence, but put that on hold for a while because Hana needed to use her Yacht to charge her limbs. The two grew close during that time.

Jane: her father was a mainlander and her mother Loanan. She grew up on the mainland, but sees Loanah as her home. With colored contact lenses, she can pass as entirely Loanan. She desperately wants to be accepted as Loanan, which probably explains why she wants to collect shards, a sort of sacred recognition of exemplary deeds. She used to worship Laki, but now resents her for giving up (and symbolically pissing on Loanah/Loanans) at the games. She gives Laki a very, very hard time. Jane also has paranoid tendencies, and seems to alternate between recognizing our honesty and thinking we're some Machiavelli, toying with everyone who we meet. She has likely had her heart broken at least once. A fierce battler.

>>1784489
Keira: I'd say she's Herb's closest friend who he isn't dating and isn't a pokemon. She's a priestess of the ghost temple, and has duties pertaining to escorting the dead to the afterlife. She knows an assortment of rituals, and her word carries weight to all in the Loanan faith (which really needs a proper name). She once molested us in our sleep but she apologized for it so it's ok between us. Ghost priestesses don't normally go on journeys, hers is experimental. Personally I don't believe she'll really have journeyed until she visits the mainland but for now Herb/Valerie/Hana/Laki/Polu/Jane all provide a whole lot of insight about the world outside her own experiences. We once did an aura-mixing (mind meld) where she remembered that she has been repressing her sexuality. When she decided that served her no purpose, she broke that mental barrier. Then we masturbated in front of each other naked in he woods, as platonic friends. Recently, we found a powerful artifact with her, called a "time flower." We are currently using it to peer back in time and see who polluted this island.

Hana: Life just keeps fucking shitting in Hana. Orphaned, mutilated, bankrupt, raped, you name it, Hana has experienced that tragedy. Even so, she's a sweetheart and doesn't quit on people. Personally, I think she can be reckless, and I hope that doesn't stem from low self-worth. Once Herb caught her a Chincou to charge her limbs with, she's been able to leave Valerie's yacht and set off on her own. She has an affinity for water types. She's very very very kinky, and is glad Herb hasn't judged her for that so far. She's spent a lot of time on the mainland for medical needs/being an orphan. She confessed her feelings for us and we said yes, and are now dating her.

Laki: she puts up a tough front to compensate for being sensitive. She's also pretty tough still though. She's famous, or perhaps infamous, locally for her performance and failure at the international games. She's strong in her convictions, including island tradition, though her faith has been shaken at least once by her travel abroad. Can't get it through her thick skull how cute she is. Has some self image/confidence/worth issues. Has a hate-on for Jane. Jane isnt willing to be emotionally vulnerable enough to express her feelings of betrayal about Laki as anything other than taunting, so it's understandable Laki doesn't like her. Hours after we started dating Hana, we talked to Laki and realized "fuck I like her too" and had a bit of a breakdown. Lucky Herb, Harems are a thing on Loanah and both Laki and Hana agreed to try out sharing Herb. It's going surprisingly well so far, though it also hasn't been too long either.

>>1784490
Herb has grown in a lot of ways. His patience and empathy have been tested time and time again, and usually he can be really compassionate and solve whatever the problem is. He's made a lot of progress on knowing when to put his foot down too though. After a spirit journey, Herb unlocked the power of his aura and can heal and rejuvinate others on contact. He still hasn't fucking tested to see for certain if it works on himself. He has also learned to unlock the hidden potential of pokemon. Whether or not that works like his healing and can therefore be used on humans is also untested.

Herb is so fucking friendly that even the wildlife seems to make friends with him wherever he goes, including that giant dragon he beat up, the bloodthirsty shark he cuddled, the really smart Tauros he taught Surf to, and the Murkrow he trades shiny things with.

Oh and sometimes Rayquaza (aka Fug) visits us in our dreams to show us visions but not explain anything. We fed him dream-pancakes. I wonder if those visions of catastrophic destruction were important? We haven't followed up on them so probably not.

>>1784486
People reacting is some of my favorite parts of these threads though, so I'll read it all. Thanks a lot for the summary.
>>1784489
>>1784490
Zoinks, didn't know Hana got raped. Makes me sad. All the characters come back to me now though, thank you very much.

Incidentally,does anyone know the thread number in which Kiera and Herb slept naked in a cave

>>1784492
Herb's pokemon are a muchlax named Gobble who shows exemplary self-control and is learning to cook from us. He recently punched out a Snorlax and it was the coolest shit.

Bella is the Roselia who evolved from a Budew which hatched from the egg we got from our late grandfather. She hatched when only Herb and Laki were present. She imprinted on them and emulated them both.

Dice is a Crocognaw, though he was a totodile when we caught him. He was released by his previous trainer and has, or at least had, some abandonment issues.

Mace is a Roggenrola who believes evolving would result in his identity death, or something tantamount. And old, old pokemon and a deep thinker. Patient as the mountains, but also excited to see new things. A godamn dynamo.

Sorbet is an Alolan Vulpix, and our newest addition. I haven't found her that interesting, but I do know our munchlax has a crush on her. He barely knows her though, so he probably just thinks she's cute. They're not even in the same egg group. I guess Gobbo gets some kink from robomommy.

You know what I remember why I stopped reading, it's because Laki is a cunt and was going to pressure cute Val into having sexual relations outside of a relationship and it made me sad

>>1784494
IIRC, It was revealed in a lewdbin from Hana's perspective (grinding experience) that her Uncle was her first time, though she doesn't count it. Her much more recent comment about coercion not having to be explicit to be real reminded me of it.

>>1784495
13 or 14, and it was a shed, not a cave. See also the bin "a hard, wet night"

>>1784501
Laki's always been able to take "no" for an answer, which is what's important to me. And she's been made an honest woman now, so you don't need to worry about it any more I guess.

>>1784505
If a sexual predator convinces a 13 year old to strip for him, saying "it's what your body wants, you know it is", is that okay to you? Just because it's not outright rape doesn't mean it's okay. I feel sick.
>she lost her virginity to her uncle
wtf I thought this was comfy pokemon its not fair

>>1784514
I think we have two different ideas about the ages of these characters, especially the age difference between Laki and the rest.

And yeah, Hana's story is jarringly tragic. I didn't even mention how living so much of her life abroad has left her feeling like an outsider to Loanah. Fuck, the morning after her crush accepted her confession he went and confessed to another girl. Even the best guy she knows couldn't stay loyal to her for 24 hours. In her last bin she admitted to herself that part of the reason she agreed to share Herb with Laki was because she would feel guilty not giving Herb a "whole woman."

Everyone in the cast is constantly growing and healing though.

Except maybe Jane. When we last saw her she seemed like she might have been slipping back into paranoid delusions.

>>1784526
Did gobble say this would end in a harem? Or will he have to make a choice between cunty rapist and cute punished robot

>>1784527
It's a quest. Herb, Hana, and Laki are giving a Harem relationship a shot. Nobody, not even Gobble, knows how it will end for certain.

Personally, I'm hoping Hana and Laki grow romantic feelings for each other and the three of them live happily ever after. They can take turns being harem leader or whatever.

And im pretty sure Laki did nothing illegal, though feel free to ask for word of Gobble on that one.

After all, Gobble's threshold for "kinda rapey" is taking a second to realize you need to remind your partner of the safe word.

>>1784537
She should not be trying to pressure Val into have lesbian sex

>>1784539
She didn't, Laki is hilariously aware of boundaries because of her Island's past.

Stop saying rapist, sheesh

>>1784542
" You switch to another knot. “Do...do you like Valerie?”

“Yeah. She’s alright. A bit bubbly, and she doesn’t really know much outside of her rich little bubble, but she’s nice.”

Oh man this is awkward. “No, I mean-”

“I know what you mean, Soft Hands. No, I don’t have a crush on her. But I am going to nail her.”

You freeze. “W-wha-”

“Offer’s already out there. Just a matter of time. She knows I don’t want a relationship. She knows what her body wants. And I want her body.” She turns her head and opens her eyes. “Taking what you want is what my people are all about.”

THIS IS RAPEY! It makes me feel sick. If Val wants to have sex with someone, it's her choice, but to take advantage of a naive girl's independence issues just for non emotional sex is fucked up.

>>1784527
we already did have to make a choice and picked punished robot by one vote, then the cunty rapist supporters starting having a tantrum and intentionally trying to derail the quest so we agreed to poly.

>>1784543
wew lad, instead of trying to lecture someone who's actually read the quest, why don't you, you know, actually read it.

I know what I'm talking about, you don't.


>>1784544
Mate, chill out or shove off yeah?

>>1784546
just filling in the kind anon on what happened, as long as the quest continues on as is I am fine with how things happened. Besides I have ulterior motives that your personal opinion really don't factor into, sorry.

>>1784543
Laki propositioned Valerie.
Valerie decided she wasn't ready to say yes.
Laki is okay waiting for Valerie to make up her mind, and believes she will say yes.

Assuming they are both able to consent, which I can see no reason not to, I see nothing rapey. But, again, feel free to ask Gobble.

>>1784544
YAMERO

>>1784544
That is messed up that they would do that, but from Laki fans, I'm not too surprised.
>>1784546
Get your stick out of your tuchus.
>>1784548
It's no true consent if she's pressured into it.

>>1784549
Nigga, please read the quest, he's desperately trying to not spoil anything for you because something did happen.

>>1784549
Okay, sure, what leverage do you believe Laki can/did exert over Valerie?

She's not significantly older, she's not her caretaker, she doesn't have financial pressures to extort with. Valerie isn't so naive she doesn't understand what sex is. I don't see any good indication that Laki coerced Val in any way. Val is, as far as everyone here can tell, able to and responsible for giving or withholding consent, and Laki will respect that decision.

Seriously, Keira deserves this accusation more than Laki and we all put that behind us a long time ago.

>>1784553
Val has independence issues.

>>1784554
What issues do you believe those are?

What makes you believe she has them?

How would they prevent her from being capable of giving consent?

What makes you believe Laki knows about them and is intentionally exploiting them?
