FOURTH WALL EVENT POST HELL YEAH

[buttpinched]

[Morning was a ritual of waking up, going to the dining area of the VIolet city inn, and waiting for everyone to arrive.

Family breakfast was important, even if your family was currently a little... Strange. Or at least it was for Lion. So every morning everyone got together (Will included of course) to do important things like speaking about how you slept, or what your plans for the day were.

This was of course, a Rule. Absolute serious business. At least if you knew what's good for your personal relationships including Lion.

And so, Lion waited for Will, who was taking surprisingly long to come down. Hopefully he wouldn't have gotten transported somehwere else (as if it weren't hard enough to keep track of him already). Because of course. there was no reason at all for Will to be running off to Goldenrod again, right?

At least not if he knew what's good for his backside.

The first one to go downstairs was Katharine, who looked like she was crying. She quickly ran towards Lion, jumping on Lion’s legs and blaming the hell out of it.]

EEEEESSSSPEEEONNN!!! OOOOOOON!!! WAAAAA!!!

[THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!]

[Dlanor, who went down in the second place, proceeded to do some damage control. That means knocking the hell out of that Espeon. Ignoring that, Will decided to make an appearance. Only that this time it would be a bit different.



Usually, it would be normal to see him with the same face, but there’s something off about Will. Why does Will have tits to begin with? Diana, who is recording this, is even more surprised. Now we understand why Katharine was crying.]
… Hn. Don’t ask.

[Diana decides that it would be better to just, eat the pokegear to hide the evidence. So she calls Gerturde, the skitty for such job. Enjoy the last minutes of a Skitty nomming the gear until it shuts down.]

[OOC: two people logged in with the same google docs account can actually write at the same time, or so Kai and Miyu discovered while writing this Post featuring Willarda and Lion. Tags may and will come from both boobies Will and pretty much the same as always Lion. Also when we finished this post we were listening to Friday, so to would be best to keep out of this post.]

Yes, and for a lifetime if possible.

[promotedpawn]

[Primo laughs sincerely at that.]

That's good to hear, an unusual response, but a good one. I hope that you are able to stay here as you wish, though if you truly want that it shouldn't be difficult.

[isthedeadcat]

Hopefully it will be as you say. Reaching this place was truly a miracle, and I will dedicate all my being to keep it that way.

[promotedpawn]

If you do that, the miracle will still happen. There's no doubt about it, just as there's no fate that can't be broken and changed with some work.

[Rather, lots and lots of work, but it makes no difference for him.]

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion fully agrees with this mindset, good sir xD]

It's good to see someone else who believes so. I managed to live on by defying fate, even if it took me a while to understand it.

Thankfully I had good company, to help me reach this conclusion.

[promotedpawn]

[It's the best mindset ever. And he basically exists to crush fate, destiny and absolutes so it's a given that he would think that way.]

Oh, yeah, that's the other part of the trick. No matter how much one fights if they are alone they can't achieve much, that's what causes so many problems to some people. They think they can achieve anything by themselves.

Anyway, fate exists to be defied, so it's good to meet people who do so. I can't stand the ones who give up to it without even trying, or even the ones who try and give up, if it didn't work at first it just means they didn't try hard enough and were alone. I'm glad that you had good company in your fight, do you still have them around?

[isthedeadcat]

That's true... Having people close to yourself can give you the strength needed to fight when everything seems lost. And of course, two fighters or more are always better than one.

We arrived to Johto with a few weeks of difference, but that person is still here, and as ready to continue reaching for this miracle as I am... If not even more.

[promotedpawn]

It's basic mathematics after all, two will always be more than one. And three will always be more than two.

[He gives Lion a long look, as if studying it before he nods to himself.]

I'm sure you will be fine. You probably already come from a miracle, so I don't see why you would fail in making more, no matter what anyone else says.

[After all those game-boards follow different rules.]

[isthedeadcat]

We will never stop struggling to live on, I can assure you of that.

[A small chuckle.] But I'm sure you have far more interesting stories to tell than I have, Primo-san.

[promotedpawn]

[Primo makes a thinking face for a second before he shrugs.]

I probably have more stories to tell than the ones you have, Lion-san. But I don't know if they are more interesting or not. And many aren't really mine, just ones I've come to observe during my travels.

[isthedeadcat]

I'm sure someone who can travel and see so many different gameboards must have at least something interesting to tell, even if those stories aren't really theirs.

Wouldn't you humor me at least a little in exchange for whatever little information I gave you? I'd love to hear a story with a happy ending for a change.

[promotedpawn]

Don't take me wrong, I had no intention of not telling you anything. But it's hard to just pick one to tell from all the ones I know.

However, if it's a happy ending what you want to hear about, that makes it easier. I can tell you about an old and forgotten game that I played with some witches long ago. It was a very long game, though, but at the end its happy ending was probably the biggest one you can imagine. It's almost ironic though, it's an ending where not even the biggest sinner has suffering dumped on her, instead she's saved by the very one being she wanted to overcome and destroy. Would that story interest you?

Fun fun fun fun~

[isthedeadcat]

A story like that sounds like a perfect choice. Even if long and maybe painful, a story that reaches a happy ending is always a good inspiration to follow.

I'd love to hear what you have to say... But please take a seat first, and let me treat you for breakfast.

XDD

[promotedpawn]

[The mention of breakfast causes a deep growling like sound to be heard. The most basic rumble of a stomach that hasn't been feed in a long time and, upon sensing the mention of food, reminds its owner that it's about time he feed it.

... This is probably one of the most embarrassing moments for a wizard like Primo.]

... Breakfast sounds like a great treat if it's not too much trouble.

[He's totally not acknowledging his growling stomach. No, sir.]

[isthedeadcat]

Tea, coffee or warm chocolate? There are some fantastic blends in Johto, and some of them are quite similar in taste to the ones I used to have back at home...

And probably something to eat too. [There is a small smile after that, but still, not addressing the rumbling directly out of politeness xD]

[promotedpawn]

Similar in taste? Is it usual to find here things that taste differently that back there?

[His cheeks may tint lightly but the lack of direct addressing to the rumbling is appreciated. This is why Regina keeps telling him to get some furniture, he just keeps forgetting about the basic necessities sometimes.]

Some tea would be a good way to start the day, accompanied by a snack would be even greater too.

[isthedeadcat]

It's what one would expect from a world with different plant and animal life, I suppose... I did hear from someone else that the food tasted different than in their world.

Tea it will be then, do you want anything in particular for your food? Or will you leave the choice up to me?

[promotedpawn]

Put it that way it makes sense. Well, so long as the food is good it doesn't matter if the taste is different than in other places, right?

Sorry, I don't mean to cause trouble but I'm not picky with food, anything you are willing to offer is fine.

[Aka he's hungry enough to eat anything without complains. But he won't ask for much.]

[isthedeadcat]

The omelet is great, so that will do. [And so, Lion asks for two teas an an omelet, and thanks the waitress xDDD]

Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I do.

[promotedpawn]

I'm sure I will, I don't think a member of the Ushiromiya family would have bad taste regarding food.

[Primo chuckles a bit.]

You're being a very kind host, Lion-san. I hope that my story is enough to pay you back.

[isthedeadcat]

Having such a wonderful chef as we did may have spoiled us far too much, however.

I'm glad that you are feeling comfortable, Primo-san. I really enjoy having a nice chat over some tea, I'm sure that your story will be an interesting one and that is more than enough.

[promotedpawn]

Well, what other use has money if it's not to spoil oneself? Though it becomes troublesome when one is stuck in a situation like this.

So much faith in this mere traveler, I will try to live up to those expectations. But before starting, maybe I should clarify an important rule of that game, since that rule was vital for the final resolution of the story. I assume you have basic knowledge on how the gameboards work?

[There may be a chessboard with all its pieces appearing in the middle of the table, leaving space for the breakfast to be enjoyed (or maybe he just was carrying it with him and merely placed it there).]

[isthedeadcat]

You can use it to spoil others, of course. [Have a chuckle.] This situation is not really that bad, I have just traded club activities for part time jobs.

[Lion leans a little to see the chessboard, nodding.] I know a bit about gameboards, even when I haven't seen other than Beatrice's, so please explain this rule to me.

[promotedpawn]

Making others happy and spoiled is also a form of spoiling oneself, but that may just be my twisting sense of selfishness.

[He gestures to the chess pieces.]

In a normal game, and in Beatrice's games, the pieces involved in the game are retired at the end of it. And when a new game is opened they are repositioned, however, for effects of inside the gameboard, they are like brand new pieces. As if the ones used previously had been smashed and a new set had been acquired.

However, in the game I'm going to tell you about, due to circumstances that aren't worth explaining, the pieces are always the same ones. It's the very same set, just placed in a different board. In other words, the "souls" of the pieces were transfered to one kakera to the next one, as the games went on. So basically, a pawn in the seventh game, had the potential of remembering all the moves it had made ever since the start of the first game. This rule only applied to one side of the board, though, and because it gave such an unfair advantage over the other, only the king piece was allowed to remember completely.

[But that didn't deny the potential of the others, or blocked them from being able to use that potential.]

[isthedeadcat]

I see.

That's an interesting setup. A piece with enough knowledge could really change how things happen in a Fragment... Or maybe go even further and change how the game itself works.

But this means the others had the capacity of remembering partially, right? What controlled what a piece could or could not remember?
