Pokémon Mafia 2 - Game Thread (Day 1)

Lee Chaolan

Oh, excellent!
Story by Hooded Pitohui
A Letter from Johto's Ecruteak City

Ecruteak_City_JN_piohez.png

At this time of year, the westward sun dapples the footpath of the Bellchime Trail. Veiled by a golden curtain of leaves, light and shadow dance unseen. The breeze keeps the time on rustled leaves and chiming bells, just as it has done since days immemorial. The winds never fail to arrive around the equinox, scattering the centuries gathered up under the city's eaves. "The city where history flows" may only be a slogan, but there's an undeniable truth beneath those words. Walk among the lanterns and through the market stalls, and the past envelops you, prickling every sense as it flows by.

That is doubtlessly why Ecruteak draws so many. Here, antiquarians, writers, and historians join tourists in search of a transcendent experience, sharing Ecruteak with its local residents and the Pokémon trainers called by an official Gym and legends of unfathomably powerful Pokémon. The eclectic, international crowd visiting the city has only grown in the wake of the high-profile collapse of the international criminal gang Team Rainbow Rocket.

For five years, the world has known peace. We three, the guardians of the Bell Tower, have witnessed the growth in crowds and have witnessed even the return of the Legendary Pokémon Ho-oh. It is our belief that the world stands on the cusp of a new era, one of harmony between the living beings of this planet. For that reason, we believe that now is the time to unveil the treasures long in our care – the Silver Feather and Tidal Bell. With their unveiling, we shall commence the reconstruction of the Burned Tower to inaugurate this new era.

We do not undertake this work lightly. We remember that our cherished peace is fragile, and that there remain those who would seize these treasures for their own gain, if only given the opportunity. To secure our cherished peace, we must limit attendance. We deem you worthy of receiving this invitation. We humbly request you keep this invitation securely on your person, for were it to fall into hands tainted by selfish desires, the treasures of Ecruteak will be at risk.

If you wish to attend the unveiling, please arrive promptly at the Barrier Shrine at 08:00 JST on the 29th of September, 2026.

I got my role card.

Why, hello there everyone! Xiahou Ba's the name. Nice to meet you! I'm a seasoned warrior, am smarter than I look, and I serve Wei first and foremost. If you didn't remember, I participated in the Fantasy vs Sci-Fi Shroomfest, and I was on Team Fantasy! My team won that round, but the enemy put up quite an amazing and interesting fight! I am so happy to serve you guys, and I'm not joking when I say I've been looking forward to meeting you!

So, I've heard we have a bit of an ambush and kill problem around here? Not a problem! My armor protects me from any and all dangers, and I would be happy to help deduce the hidden villains around here. This is going to be fun!

Hey there Solarus! Well, to be fair, I don't quite know the answer myself aside from socercery. I come from the Han, born in 187 CE, and I seem to have a link to the future times, because I keep coming back to it. Now, my help is needed, so I will lend it whenever I can.

Solarus:
Tell me Mr Xiao Ba, do you consider yourself a holy man? Do you believe in divine fate and foretold prophecy?

Xiahou Ba. My apologies, but I don't like being called "xiao". I'm the shortest Dynasty Warrior and...err.... I don't want to be reminded of my height.

To answer your question, yes, I do believe in divine fate and foretold prophecy. I think Heaven chose my lord Cao Cao to unify the Han, otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten so many victories over our rivals, Shu and Wu. Well, uh he's also a bit crazy and ruthless but...uh...don't tell him I said that.

Also. Uh. What kind of herb are you? I'll be sure to not mistake you for medicine!

can't say that I have, friend. ignore the fact that i look like a different man. without the sun we'd have no grain though, and wouldn't that be a right shame?
1790554407646.png

Solarus:
Indeed! So you see the way I see my friend! The sun our holy light guides us to a place of enlightenment and tranquilty, thinking nothing more than to bask in its embrace, would you a humble miller consider joining the Order of the Sun?

Solarus:
I am a Sage plant my friend, more so it seems as if you have chosen to place your fate else were, no matter, I belive that my Tarrot Cards will reveal the path you are meant to go on.
Let us see your true aligance and fate shall we?

Solarus:
The cards have spoken and your fate is fortold!
You will begin your journey uncertain, unkowing and unsure of if you want to accept the holy lights embrace, it will take some self reflection, you may even consider yourself a fool, a clown even, however you will see light at the end of your tunnel! And soon emerge as a TRUE beliver of the Sun!

"Salutations, ladies, gents, and all of those in between. As I've said before, the name's Shmilbert, Private Investigator, and I too have been granted the privilege of attending this lavish unveiling that's about to commence. In other words, I've received my role card, and I hope we'll all find a sense of enjoyment in the calm before the storm that is the festivities we've gathered here today for."

*sigh* To fancy that serenity was within my grasp was nothing more than mere delusion. Oh well... I will do what must be done.

RP_Cecilia_Portrait_Idle.png

You may address me as Lady Celia. Yes, something known as a role card found its way into my possession. Do not look my way for grand conversation, I beg of you. Grievances of mine are far more worrying my spirit than any of the idle chatter one such as I can expect here mind you.

Hey guys, awesome to see you all here! I'm Spark, I'm one of Professor Willow's assistants, and he's sent me here to check out some of the local Pokémon and meet up with the local trainers. It sure looks like we've got quite a showing already! Seems like a lot of regional forms I've never seen before too! Let's see what we've got so far...
  • Looks like a couple of Johtonian Revavrooms- I didn't know they came from that far! And in two different colours two- I wonder if one's a shiny, they don't seem to have many other differences suggesting different forms... and they keep talking about lightning, I hope that means they're Electric types!
  • And I think that's gotta be a Johtonian Dhelmise, right? Looks like it hasn't picked up any junk though, so I guess the waterways are pretty clear around here- Blanche'd probably be happy to hear that.
  • Roserades are always fun to see! Didn't know you could find them round here, but I love anything that evolves from a baby Pokémon like Budew!
  • Then I guess it's either a regional Gulpin or Solosis? Psychic types aren't really my strong point- but it's an event Pokémon! Look at that cute little hat! I wonder if it keeps it when it evolves?
Plus, it seems like some trainers have shown up too, that's neat!
  • Our warrior trainer's outfit reminds me of some of the armour I saw at a Hisui exhibition a while back! It's hard to say whether they specialise in Fighting or Steel types- and they mentioned fantasy too- perhaps they work with Dragon or Fairy types?
  • And then the miller... I'd guess probably Normal, or maybe Grass? I could definitely see him with Fidough on his team.
  • As for the private investigator... well I guess he's keeping it private- he's giving nothing away! Best guess I could hazard is Dark- and that's mainly because I'm making a shot in it!
  • The dryad lady, she's got to be a Grass specialist, right, with the flowers and the green hair? But I could maybe see her as a Fairy or Psychic type specialist- or maybe Bug as a wildcard guess?
I can't wait to get to know more about the local Pokémon here to report back to the Professor! I've been handed a role too, and I amped to get chatting with the rest of you!

S2_Sage_h1yswh.png
: Venerable guests, I thank you for your attendance. This is to be a momentous occasion, not only for the city of Ecruteak, but for all who strive to live harmoniously with the multitude of beings inhabiting our world.

S2_Sage_h1yswh.png
: ...or, rather, it was to be. Unfortunately, we cannot proceed with the unveiling as planned. To access the chamber in which we have stored the Silver Feather and Tidal Bell requires the keys of three sages – myself, Sage Koji, and Sage Gaku.

S2_Sage_h1yswh.png
: Amidst of our final preparations, we found Sage Gaku lying unconscious, and his Flareon knocked out nearby. His key is nowhere to be found.

S2_Sage_h1yswh.png
: I must ask that you listen carefully. What I am about to tell you is of grave importance. Prior to this assembly, we thoroughly inspected the grounds of the shrine. Thus…

S2_Sage_h1yswh.png
: ...thieves dwell among our number, intent upon disrupting this unveiling and seizing these sacred treasures for their own selfish ends.

S2_Sage_h1yswh.png
: I have asked Sage Koji to lock the shrine and to prepare lodgings. Noble spirits among you, I beseech you - identify the infiltrators, incapacitate them, and recover the stolen key before they are able to strike again.



IT IS NOW DAY ONE.

You may use this time to discuss suspicions and to cast votes towards a player's elimination. To place a vote, use the format: "Vote: Player". The player with the most votes at the end of the phase will be eliminated. To vote for no elimination, use the following format: "Vote: No elimination".

Day One ends at Adjusted Time .

Greetings Miss Celia, I am Solarus, worshiper of the Sun Salutation, belivers of the Holy Light of the Sun, quite the confounding situation we have found ourselves in havent we?
Calista the Dryad has arrived!

My purpose in this place is clear.
Solarus:
AH! A fellow plants based denizen! how do you do?

"Ah, a guild of outlaws intending to seize the sacred objects that were due to be unveiled today for their own selfish desires has hidden themselves within our fellowship, have they? Well, do not be concerned, my fellow guests, for I had arrived here with the intuition that an event like this could transpire, so I suggest that we remain calm for the time being, for it's merely the first day of our investigation, and from my experiences with them, we usually don't have a whole lot of evidence to go off of, so blindly throwing around accusations for the sake of it won't be getting us anywhere, yes?"
