OoC: "I hope you got a lot of EXP from that" is something I sort of remark in my head when something faints my Audino. Also, Todd does not like to be called "Toddster" or "Lil' T."
(OOC: Blissey is like, "Am i a joke to you" cuz Blissey bases are an amazing EXP farm. What is it with big pink pokemon giving you alot of EXP?)
OoC: I have no idea. Audino were pretty common in the wild in Unova though (EVERY PATCH OF RUSTLING GRASS), so they're probably more notorious for EXP farming. And also because the EXP gain system in Gen V was TERRIBLE.
Aurelie: -in a pretty pained voice- I thought we'd met before...?
Todd: Yeah, I said I was pretty sure I was royalty, and hey, I was right! I'm Malvasia's son, apparently. Also, you're torturing Aurelie.
Aurelie: -comically bitter- I hope you got a lot of EXP from that.
Todd: A little note for the future- try to be a little quieter from now on as to prevent excruciating pain in a big pink radar rabbit.
Aurelie: I'll probably be covering my ears a lot, won't I...? (I guess that's the curse of being an Audino in a giant castle of ice.) Anyway, my name is Aurelia Lightfeeler, and that's Todd.
Todd: Todd, uh...Malvasiason.
Aurelie: I go by Aurelie, Aurie, Lili, Annie, Ears...
Todd: I go by Todd. Yeah, that's it. Don't really have anything else, unless you wanna call me "Toddster" or "Lil' T"...
OoC: I have a cool idea for a character- how about a Rotom robot?
(OOC: Todd Greene, you mean?) -The Victini rolled his eyes and sighed- Vic: "Whose bright idea was it to let you guys in?!" -he'd said before he'd grunted and looked embarassed a bit- "...w-wait don't answer that." (OOC: BTW, if you seen Vector from the Despicable Me Movie, Vic's basically dressed the same as him, same body composure, and such. I really have to draw this at some point.)
Gick: "Those Ghost guards sure are a bit lenient anyhow..."
Sir Arano: "I told them they were to be expected guests..." -he'd said facepalming-
Gick: "Oh... well, why don't y'all come to the throneroom, Kyuru will be there in a few minutes, give her time, she's an slow old woman." -he'd said in a warm endearing way, Kyuru could only sigh and facepalm quietly in her dressing room at that "compliment"-
-And in an ehuasted arrival back, Malvasia groaned and flopped over, looking terrible embarassed and tired, the serperior whined-
Malvasia: "ooohh, im sorry i h-had to flip out like that..." -she'd sighed-
Aurelie: -looks at Malvasia with a compassionate expression- Sweetie, you look exhausted. You should go get some rest.
Todd: I'll go with her. I want to get to know her more.
Aurelie: That's very considerate of you, Todd. -turns back to Malvasia- If you still want me to make you tea, I will. I don't have to talk to the Queen right away; it's not urgent, necessarily.
OOC: 1. Sorry, I didn’t know you already had Fire-Type characters. It’ll have to be option (B) then; Fire-Type and Ice-Type Pokémon aren’t as powerful as the Dragons and SL, but, like everyone else, can become as powerful when they obtain fire/ice chi... which shouldn’t be too long from now. I just need a brief introductory arc to establish the Dragons as a threat first, just like back when the Ice Hunters were introduced in the main RP.
2. Well I don’t think Drakonus would marry because of lore reasons, and I already have a right hand man in mind, so maybe an adopted daughter?
3. So are you saying that Kyuru and her Pokémon and... ghosts don’t have ice powers? Because I’d thought that was the implication. That’s why I was thinking they’d be considered one of the “Ice Tribes” and allied with the SL, like the Tigers to the Snow Leopards’ Phoenix. Also, I was calling them a “tribe” or a “faction” because there needs to be a term to refer to the entire group when tribe leaders talk about alliances and politics and whatnot. So should they just be called a “group” then?
4. I see we’re of like minds. This is kind of a “lore spoiler”, but the Fanon Chima universe was created by a character from one of my older stories, so I guess this RP is essentially a crossover between our fanfictions.
(OOC: What? Kyuru does have ice powers, and maybe the others if they get some Ice type moves taught to them, plus the ghosts too, those ghosts were all formed when the slain spirits were forcibly merged into ice chi orbs. So you'll see plenty of small towers akin to torch braziers filled with three orbs of ice chi to keep those ice ghosts active as life tethers across a set radius. (Sorry if this poses a strain on ice chi resource management for the Snow Leopards. ) And i can see what you mean for the tribe nomenclature, i'll accept that of them being called a "tribe" so to speak. I must Embrace Kyuru being more of an Ally to the Snow Leopards. And on that fourth part, i can see what you did there, and i like this, tying alot of this into each-other, no wonder you're an excellent lorekeeper.)
Saleem: “An octoling I collaborated with to finally achieve resurrection alchemy. He’d been planning to overthrow his own tribe, and provided me with his tribe’s own alchemical research notes. The plan was that our zombie army would launch an assault on Octo Valley after wrapping up the usurping of Sa’Quala, but now...”
Saleem calls Othaurus on his radio.
Saleem: “Othaurus, was this your doing?!”
Othaurus: “Hoy, Saleem! Been a while since we talked—”
Saleem: “WAS THIS YOUR DOING?! What did you put in the resurrection formula??”
Othaurus: “Eh? Nothing that wasn’t necessary. I helped you make a revival potion the only way it could be made, as promised. Sorry I had to lie to you about what our zombie army’s true purpose would be.”
Saleem: “True purpose?!?! What about our plan!? We were going to help each other overthrow our tribes’ leaders! But no... you had an ulterior motive, and you only care about your own goals!”
Othaurus: “Nay, you misunderstand. Thanks to your help, not only will the leaders of our tribes be taken down, all of Chima’s corruption will be erased.”
Saleem: “What in Cavora are you talking about?! Are you in some kind of cult or—?!”
Othaurus: “Why do you not understand, Saleem? The Dragons will purge the world of the filth that plagues it. This is helping your tribe, and all the tribes.”
Saleem: “The Dragons? How will this help the Snake Tribe?! Do you know how many Snake citizen casualties you’ve caused today by removing my helicopters of their pilots?!”
Othaurus: “It’s tragic, but sacrifices are necessary for a better tomorrow. Life is taken to sustain life. Such is the way of nature.”
Saleem: “You’re disgusting! I’ve never met someone acting more high-and-mighty than this. You’d better hope I don’t get my hands on you, Otha—!”
On his end, Othaurus smashes the radio, and turns to the dragons, who are regaining consciousness.
Othaurus: “I guess he wouldn’t understand, but it’s not his fault... Despicable, how Krellix erased the people’s memories and fed them lies about the Dragons. Convincing others of the truth will be a challenge indeed.”
OOC: Krellix eh? Interesting...
OOC: Yet another of my lazily reused recurring character names.

{Jammers back} Well, I have lore about them, but in the Fanon Chima Roleplay, Wenceslas died before he could become king, so Smaug and Orion ended up splitting with many other cats to Paradigm. =P They're cats of reputation in Paradigm, two flame cats (special fireproof fur cats) and they like fire, both of them have incorporated fire into their weapons in fact. So they want to find fire trials, because they're reasoning there ought to be an opposite to the ice trials. They're not the most rule-following cats as well. =P
TheFirstDecade It would be hilarious if Aurelie first Mega Evolves and she doesn't realize she's lost her ability to speak in the process, so she's attempting to talk to those facing her and it just comes out as, like...
Evil Dude (): Oh, honestly, could you be so naive? You should know you can't face me and live. Aurelie: Audi, dino! Evil Dude: What. *awkward pause as Aurelie sweats profusely* Aurelie: A-aud audino! Todd: Still trying? Aurelie: Di...dino...
What if Aurelie and Agrakai meet and they can both Mega Evolve and they do so just to speak in code? (*CONFIDENTIAL AGGRON NOISES*)

-Malvasia nodded to the Audion, gladly accepting her offer as she casually coddles Todd close to her with a loving aura to her-
-A few miniutes later, Kyuru exited her dressing room, clothed in her Elsa-like dress and began to slowlylumber along to her throneroom, not paying any attention to the others around her, complete autopilot if you will.-
(OOC: beam them up, Scotty! They must go, their dimension needs them! )
-Owlina could look at the glowing light spectacle happeneing before her and she'd looked surprised- "Wh-what is this... event im witnessing?! Does anybody know what that is?!" -she'd said in awe as those zombies were like, being abducted.-
Saleem: “Wait. That Othaurus...!”
Fulcrum: “Who?”

Othaurus: “I guess he wouldn’t understand, but it’s not his fault... Despicable, how Krellix erased the people’s memories and fed them lies about the Dragons. Convincing others of the truth will be a challenge indeed.”
The King of Dragons stands and stretches.
Drakonus: “Thanks, kid. Because of your good deed, I can restore this world to how it’s supposed to be.”
Dragon: “Your Majesty, how was this octopus able to hear our calls for help?”
Drakonus: “You’re from one of the more recent generations, aren’t you? In the past, many dragons would breed with octolings, who we’re compatible with, in an attempt to add water breathing members to our tribe. Oddly though, their offspring always ended up being at least 90% octoling, so they ended up joining the Octoling Tribe rather than the Dragons. This young man must be a descendant of dragons, if he could hear our silent cries for help inside this frozen prison.”
The Dragon King chuckles.
Drakonus: “The Snow Leopards thought they had it foolproof. They didn’t consider that there’d be another octoling with dragon blood left all these centuries later, to hear the voices of our spirits.”
Othaurus: “Yep. It’s a good thing I came here on my scouting missions and heard you reaching out. Simple curiosity can come a long way.”
The octoling rips the bandages off of his sword, revealing the insignia of the Dragon Tribe carved into the blade.
Othaurus: “So what’s next, Your Highness?”
Drakonus: “First, we take our weapons and vehicles that’d been frozen with us, and create more fire chi to power them. We need to make a B-line for Mount Cavora, and then for the Snow Leopards. We will only spend energy fighting before we reach them if anyone is there to oppose our claiming of Cavora.”
Othaurus and the dragons nod, and begin to carry out Drakonus’ orders.

IC: *In Paradigm's Camp..* "I'm sure you've all been hearing about the ice trials to get ice chi. The turtles have done it, and i'm sure many tribes will follow." *Orion ignites his fire gauntlet.* "But what we want to know about.. is the fire trials. There's ice trials, so according to some type of law, there's gotta be an opposite." *Smaug ignites his fire sword.* "What's the opposite of ice? Fire. So I say we ditch Paradigm, find the fire trials, and get fire chi. Their mission to take over Cavora failed, and now they're camped here, licking their wounds, and there is no action. So why stay where there's no action? We joined Paradigm for action! Fire trials! Who's with us?!" *Smaug, Orion, and about 50 cats set off to the south of where Paradigm is camped. They raid cabinets first and bring a lot of food with them.*
OOC: Orion's text is blue because he died his hair blue, it's not related at all to ice. I'll post a pic of who he's based on in his profile when I post it in the archives.

(OOC: I can possibly see that, i actually had that thought when i sorta wanted to make a Pikachu tribe at the conception of this entire RP, where their leader was a very elderly Raichu that was Ash's Pikachu, and only spoke it's own "name tongue" and not the regular chimian language because it refused to give into this "chi evolution" nonsense. But if anything, all Pokemon could understand each other, regardless of their "name tongue". Think of Meowth from the anime translating a non-English Pokemon's "words". It really wouldn't hide anything, really, to other Pokemon, only making it harder for non-Pokemon to understand it.)

Aurelie, of course, hears the heavy footsteps of the Ice-Dragon and follows them. Once she gets there, she gives a little curtsy and says, "Um...pardon me, but I have a question." She gets closer, swallowing hard. "Would you perhaps know anything about this?"
She shows Kyuru the image on her camera. It's a wall of ice, with a peculiar, pink-and-cream stone embedded into it.
"I know it's an Audinite, but what is it doing here?"

OoC: That's a pretty interesting idea. I wonder if Pokemon sometimes break into "Pokespeak" when they feel certain emotions or whatever, like how someone's accent might slip when they're angry or something. It could also be a verbal tic occasionally, like with "Meowth! That's right!" I can imagine Pokemon being the most likely to have some sort of verbal tic unless someone initiates an Animal Crossing tribe or something.
Also, Todd does not like to be called "Toddster" or "Lil' T."
