Bay 12 Games Forum

I'd love to try a WH40k game again, but I'd be up for most anything as long as its PBP.

Took me a moment to realize that Dunamisdeos was talking about Dwarf Fortress as opposed to real life >_>

Part III: Child Soldiers



I named him Gressins. He might be a pokemon, but in comparison to Meutre or Vol he's actually a bit cute. Not a loud annoying bird either, which does wonders for my mental state.



A quick overnight stay in Accumula Town later, and everyone's fighting fit. More importantly, Spring has arrived! That's nice. Perfect weather to try and get these little monsters a bit stronger.



More birds on Route 2.



Also a...whatever this is. Looks scary :C



I didn't bring an umbrella with me... :C
Vol's teeth took it down quickly, especially when it fell asleep partway through the battle. Why'd it do that? Pokemon are so strange.



O_O
At long last, something Vol's teeth could barely scratch. Meutre had to deal with it.



Very nice.

((Ah right...item balls and hidden items are randomized as well (except Key Items)!))



B-but I was trying to avoid your eyes :C



Are you even old enough to be a trainer? I thought Unova's laws were a bit stricter about that sort of thing...



This is less than ideal. I swapped to Vol just in case it could use electricity (it couldn't) and she took it down without too much difficulty. The kid wasn't happy, but forked over some money anyway.



Good for you. I don't >:c
_{^{you don't look much older than that kid}}



Don't trees like water though?
(Vol killed it)



Seriously, how did all of you kids get pokemon?



That's not a Lillipup...



I knew I should have brought a chainsaw.





Nice.

As I head north from Route 2, I hear a voice shouting my name. Bianca?



Oh no, c'mon :c

"Pleeeeeeeeease? My pokemon are a little stronger!"

Dammit, she's giving me the puppy dog eyes. One of my only weaknesses :x





Where did you get something like that, Bianca?

I decided to let Gressins take care of the monk-like thing. It attempted to goad the bird into attacking. Big mistake. Gressins patiently waited for an opening before blowing Bianca's pokemon away with a single gust.



Bianca...if you want to become a great trainer you need to do a little more actual training :l

A single ember sets the pig on fire and it rolls over, fur smoldering. Bianca recalled her starter, looking disappointed. "Aw, I wanted to win..."

She might have continued putting herself down, but I guess she saw something in my expression and quickly forced herself to sound cheery instead. "Wow  Blanc, you're one tough cookie! Don't worry about my pokemon, they'll be fine. C'mon, let's get to Striaton City and call it a night."

Yeah...okay, that sounds good.



After a rough night's sleep, Bianca headed back out to Route 2 with her freshly-recovered pokemon, planning to take my advice to train more at least a bit seriously. I, meanwhile, decided to do what Juniper asked and find Fennel. Maybe then I could head home.

Fennel wasn't difficult to find (there was a building near Route 2 with the sign "Fennel's Lab"), but...



But why? :<

"'Cause Fennel said she was testing something, and she had a scary look on her face!"

But...but...I'm here because Professor Juniper asked me! Can't you let me in?

Apparently not. The guy just kept glaring at me until I left :<
Guess I should find something to do in the meantime. Folks around town mentioned a "Dreamyard", where there are apparently pokemon that can make dreams come true. Could be worth checking out.



Oh, that's fine. I'll leave you to it



:< (She had a second Bagon after that. Vol took care of them both and learned Leer!)



...how the hell do I get in?





Whyyyyy are there so many underage trainers running around? Gressins handled the kid's pokemon, including another of the monk-like things from before, without too much difficulty. The kid screamed something about his pokemon being "top-percentage" before dashing off. Freaking bizarre.



A...a litwick.

"Really? Then Pawniard could be a big help! Your litwick doesn't do well against water-type pokemon!"

What's that? Some sort of shrimp?



I...guess?

"It can use grass-type moves, so that makes it great against water-types!"

So it's not a shrimp? Ahh, who knows, pokemon are so unnatural. I've heard of tree pokemon made of rock of all things.





I can't tell what it is, but it's probably something bad :/
Guess you need a name anyway. How about...

The story itself is safe, IIRC. Just some of the artwork below it is NSFW.

Flies aren't so bad anyways. If we want to bring a species to extinction it should be the blood-sucking mosquitoes. The ecology argument doesn't even work because there are more species of mosquitoes that don't drink your blood and spread disease and bullshit.

Fact: actual bats are a thousand times the better super hero than Batman because of all the mosquitoes they eat every night. I bet Batman only kills like two or three per day.

That's actually an interesting thought. What would you call someone who is attracted to both sapient aliums and their own species? Might be a more appropriate application of pansexual.

You would call them heretics.

Spoiler: Tell that to LIIVI (click to show/hide)

To be fair, he totally is a heretic by the standards of his civilization. You don't consort with a xeno - a xeno psyker no less! - in the Imperium of man and not get slapped with a heresy charge.

People will have sex with friggin lawn furniture, MSH. I find it very hard to believe that any form of sapient alien life would be sufficiently...well, alien enough that someone somewhere wouldn't try to do something stimulating with it.

Also how can they be bisexual with only a single sex?

Pearl [said gem in question] has been in relationships with both humans and gems, I believe.

Ah, so... xenosexual doesn't work, it implies exclusivity.

That's actually an interesting thought. What would you call someone who is attracted to both sapient aliums and their own species? Might be a more appropriate application of pansexual.

It's entirely possible that, even if a new term is invented, the word "bestiality" will see an uptick in popularity. Depending more or less on how human-like the ayylmaos are. Though if there's already a word (in English) for someone who does that, I haven't heard it.

"Beastiality" doesn't strike me as the right word, though. That should be reserved for "interactions" with non-sapient life.

No, but you can always quote the post to read it in plaintext.
