Happy New Years! EditionPrevious Thread:https://desuarchive.org/trash/thread/80124790Welcome to /pmdt/! A thread for posting art, writing, and discussing of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Series! Especially if it's saucy~You can post art, recommend comics or fanfics, talk about the games/setting, or just roll to see what Pokémon you wake up as! If you'd like to join in the RP, the Lore Archive gives a general summary of the setting and history so far!We have a shared setting for the thread if you wish to participate. The TL:DR is a bunch of humans from various worlds have been sent to the PMD world and have ended up at an abandoned town in the desert and have been rebuilding it as a new home together. Feel free to ask questions about anything and to the characters themselves if you’d like.>PMDT Lore Archive: https://rentry.org/pmdt_lore>PMDT Gallery: https://mega.nz/folder/oIYQAT6D#KH5yWG8eBVs6aclQbBhEkw>PMDT Drawing Board: https://magma.com/d/uuSwxMDKDL>PMDT General resources:https://rentry.org/pmdt-resources>How do I start?Chose a new body or roll for one: https://randompokemon.comNext, tell us about your pokemon and how they ended up at Oasishttps://rentry.co/oasis-character-description-templateThe RP is currently split between Night and Day in Oasis and a group expedition to Lapras Bay, players will put where and when they are beside their nameGrab a quest from the Job Board: https://rentry.org/2hinxv2w (Needs refreshing, in the process of updating)Get to know the locals: https://rentry.org/pmdt-masterbinPlease avoid discussing drama from /vp/ or /pmdg/. /pmdt/ is it's own thing.
(Recap)(We're shifting things up a bit and splitting the rp up between different times and places so characters don't get stuck as much.)>(Night) Can be considered the slight past, with most characters already having moved on to daytime|v>(Day/Xmas) Snow has blanketed the town and a caravan group from frostwind pass has arrived in the town square, everyone has a present under the tree with their name on it. There is also a special Latias courier who can fetch small items from far away places within a day from anywhere in the world. The current "Present time"|v>(Lapras Bay) A long-planned excursion that takes place in the "undecided future". Everyone is loading up on a caravan to head over to Lapras Bay, a Mediterranean style port town and the largest of the towns. For some this is a diplomatic mission, for others a seaside vacation. Your character is able to exist and RP in both (Day) and (Lapras Bay) at the same time.
>>80302779>Raider was about to give up hope when he finally spotted it tucked behind a few gifts for others.>It was rather plain looking, just a simple golden bow on top of a white box.>He pulled the package out of the pile and sat down in front of it.>Nosing the top off the box and peering inside, he saw something draped on top and smiled.>He pulled out a Covert Cloak and quickly slipped it on."Ooh a cloak! I hope this will keep me warm in all this snow!">It was basically just a dark cloth collar with a hood and cape that covered his body down to the base of his tail."I hope it looks good on me. I've never been able to afford actual clothes!">It made him look even more like a criminal than he normally looked, being a Nickit. . .>In the box under the cloak lay a small pouch that had a soft white glow to it and a label that Raider read aloud.>"In dark times, bury me within the earth, grant me your seed of love and I shall light your way for the rest of my life.">The pouch contained hundreds of small glowing seeds that radiated warmth and a feeling of maternal kindness."Uhh. . .">He set the pouch into the snow beside him and reached into the box and pulled another similar pouch, only this one seemed to emanate a dark aura as he read its label."On that day your life seems over, a drop of blood breaks the seal and from the earth, I am revealed.">His ears splayed back at the eery message."Creepy. . .">the dark pouch contained a single crimson red flower bud it seemed almost malicious.>He much less enthusiasticly reached in to retrieve the last item.>He pulled out a small glass vial, containing a clear liquid seemed to constantly swirl and radiated a feeling of absolute power. Engraved into the glass were Unknown runes with a ring of Arceus below."I was never any good at reading these. . ." (Pic related)>He just stared at the three mysterious items."Uhh, anyone want to trade?"
>>80307524(Would you be willing to say what these things are meant to be OOC, or would you prefer to keep them a true surprise?)
>>80274480>Seeing as how everyone was busy, either chatting with friends and loved ones or helping out the newcomer, Evelyn tucked her present under her arm and head off away from the town square without a word>She didn't really have much to offer in either regard. She was still really a stranger here, and she could barely find her own way around town still>The Banette had no path or goal, simply aimlessly trudging through the snow wondering how it was even possible>At least it was pretty, even if cold>She debated using her gift and snapping a couple photos of the scenery, but she decided otherwise as she didn't know if she could even get the film developed here. And she wanted to conserve it, because she certainly wasn't getting any refills
>>80308346i think it would be more fun if he keeps it secret but up to him
>>80308346OOC I can give a bit of info. The cloak is just a Covert Cloak item. It can be traded, but it's the only gift that Raider actually likes so he probably won't. The light seeds are an item that can be used with regularity as a sort of Wayfinder even if the user doesn't know where they are supposed to go. They can be used in or out of mystery Dungeons though if used in a mystery dungeon it just guides the user to the end in the most efficient path. When used in the correct way, it will sprout a plant that rapidly grows, produces a single flower, and when the flower blooms a small spirit is released. The spirit is warm and kind and treats the user like their loving husband. It knows the user's past and their future, but will only speak lovingly to them witbout judgment. It won't revel anything from the future to them while active, but will literally light the path and guide the user to where they need to go, wherever that may be. Once reached, the spirit dies and with it's last breath, may revel critical info or a tiny peek into the future, but it may also just weep for being forced to leave the user.The light seeds can be used by anyone, but the pouch itself (another key item) must remain with Raider and can not be traded. Seeds can be given away or stolen, but they lose their effect if they aren't used within a short time window. The pouch itself is what imbues the seeds with their power. When the seeds lose their power, they just become plain seeds. As you may have guessed "seed of love" is semen the seed must be planted and "fertilized" before it will sprout. Naturally it will be harder for females to use, but not impossible.The dark bulb and vial are key story items for a personal quest. Their purpose will be left a mystery and they can not be traded. They can be handled and interacted with by others, but must remain in Raider's possession long term.I may have gotten a bit invested in Raider as I wrote him. XD
>>80308893(Talk about strange, yet very inconvenient seeds. Not too useful if every time you wanna use one you gotta take a nut, and then the tragedy of the super-short lived sprites. As for the other items, wonder what your plan for them is...)
>>80308893being invested in your character is cool and based
>>80308893Little the bit of clarity about the light seeds in case anyone else wants to use them. The spirit isn't "married" to the producer of the semen, but to the one that plants the seed so if a female character plants the seed and uses someone else's "fertilizer" to make it grow, it's not going to fly off and guide the male. It will recognize the female as their love and otherwise behaves the same. The pouch can also be refilled with plain seeds to produce more light seeds if needed.>>80309078Yeah it's like that so you can't just use them over and over to Powerfarm Dungeons or cheat your way through a mystery or problem solving quest or something like that. It's really meant to be a guide when lost or when the user (or writer) can't figure out what to do without a convenient plot device to get the story rolling. A group of dude could probably still cheat quests way though, but they would have to be on really good terms with Raider for him to be willing to supply the seeds to watch a bunch of dudes nut into dirt over and over.
>>80308463>At some point in Evelyn's aimless wanderings she trips over someone that was laying in the snow, who scrambles to stand themselves up.Hey, watch where you-!>The angered voice stops as they recognize Evelyn.Oh, it's you! Uh...Evelyn right?>Without his cloak on it would be pretty hard to differentiate him from any other Weavile if it wasn't for all the scars that covered his body in varying degrees of depth.
