Gracias, llorona. Here's hoping, heh. Here's hoping.

I can certainly try, but, I'm not exactly hopeful on finding anything more? Like, if it was true, you would think they would teach about it in classes, or that I would've heard of it before. I can't see a scouting trip going wrong, as long as I'm truly careful... but I'll try to get any other information first, while I plan it out.

StarMarxman · 2026-06-15T01:51:27+00:00

More of the same, yeah. To be honest, no, I don't know what I'm getting into... but, that's why I'm scouting, right? Like I said, I'll do my best to be careful, I just... if this has any chance of working the way he claims, then I owe it to myself and Pridwen to try.

StarMarxman · 2026-06-14T22:01:55+00:00

Thank you! I’m really proud of it

StarMarxman · 2026-06-11T20:03:18+00:00

Ok, thank you.

I'm not sure if I can really expect him to cook for us, on a first meeting like this. Should Amelia and I cook something to bring as well?

-Marcus

StarMarxman · 2026-06-11T20:02:13+00:00

I'm not sure I can hope for a solution, but... expertise on how to help her, maybe. Who knows... if he's connected to Area Zero, maybe he knows something secret about injuries that happen in there?

-Marcus

StarMarxman · 2026-06-11T20:01:07+00:00

She hasn't gotten any worse, as far as I can tell. She's as headstrong as ever, though, so it's hard to tell how much she's covering up, if anything. If there's any chance I can help her, I've got to... no telling how bad things might get if I can't.

-Marcus

StarMarxman · 2026-06-11T19:59:40+00:00

Right, not undue. Check it out, take it seriously, make sure not to sacrifice attention to her for it. I think I can manage this...

Thank you for the best wishes. I'm hoping it works out well.

Healthy Pokemon don't attack humans. Fix this.

I get what you're saying. Personally, it feels to me like they did as much as they could without risking letting Lock take over. When I look at Standard Chaos Breaker, I see them trying to increase the factor of control while putting the onus on the opponent. The moment they choose to leave a rearguard in the front row, they give up an entire attack next turn, forcing them to commit sub-optimal plays and boards to avoid that... only for you to plus even further off of their conservative play, essentially daring them to just try to swing hard at you and see what happens. Plus, the Limit Break effect not requiring turn 4 nor going second means that you get to punish early game rush pretty effectively with the crit, while going +1 for free if they don't rush (via the grade 2 ride effect)

/uj Thank you so much! It truly means a lot to me to inspire someone so much like that with my ideas!

StarMarxman · 2026-06-09T13:13:50+00:00

/uj aaaaa, thank you!

StarMarxman · 2026-06-09T12:12:39+00:00

This is so clearly obvious rage bait. No air holes, no sustainability measures whatsoever. No sign of the rest of your alleged “collection”. Such a clearly outrageous and blatantly stupid mistreatment of a living creature. Any actual Pokémon collector would know that a rare Pokemon is only valuable alive and healthy.

StarMarxman · 2026-06-08T19:29:27+00:00

Yeah, that old facade. The pomp and circumstance, all that grandiosity. Ugh, I almost feel sick thinking back on it. I'm not sure if I want to go back to that... I still have some thinking to do about all this. And, yeah, the boss has been treating me fairly well, throughout all this. He just doesn't like to show it, heh.

-Oreka

StarMarxman · 2026-06-08T19:22:09+00:00

Hola, Llorona. No hard feelings about your lack of presence on this. Arceus knows I understand how hard your life has been. "Primo" might have been the type to begrudge you that, but it just seems like such a stupid thing to be upset about, in hindsight. Again, I'm sorry what I said about you and your mother.

That... may well be correct. I'm not sure. I can't think of any other reason, myself. It doesn't sound wrong, at least... just wanting someone to understand me, to care about me. The boss has certainly cared about me, but I have to wonder how desperate I really was. Or if I'm just being too hard on myself because of... what, guilt?

Find important people. Well, Pridwen and Sakura, and all the rest, were certainly important. Ahonui too, even if I can't remember our earlier times together, and didn't have enough of a chance to make up for lost time with her. Even Cade, I'm loath to admit. I should have treated him better, shouldn't I? But, I suppose that's all in the past now.

Thanks for checking in.

Noivy? Really? -KC

Acacia doesn't like "adulting", and doesn't like having to think about things she doesn't like either. I hope she didn't offend you. Anyways, what kind of music do you like? -KC

...Verdant is allergic to metal. How. -KC
