>Giant ass mega dragon with a sword for a sail is pretty rad
>His fur will be stuck poofed straight up now, and its all their faults!
I’m gonna get h-his paw if he pokes me, hehe!
>Fen likes that idea and gives her an affirmative nod
Yeah l-like that! You could p-put it by your ear too!
>The badger gets excited that Fly likes the idea of perusing some jewelry. If this is a treasure hunting town then there must be some nice and pretty things!
I l-love that idea! I was h-honestly thinking of some pretty blue rock that looks like your scales, but an Ice Stone is perfect if that exists!
>He sputters a bit at the end when it registers she said he belonged to her, but his ears wiggle happily
Hehe, yeah I g-guess I do, huh?
>Well, she has a point. He doesn’t really have a good comparison for a good battler versus a bad one. Something he needs to improve with Fly’s help!

>Fen gives her a toothy grin as she rejects her feelings for Raider, but he knows she likes him. All those little kind and tender moments between them give it away
>Not a god, just the strongest dragon around, huh?
Does that n-not make him one? I thought g-gods and stuff were the strongest, at least in the stories!
>Hopefully it never comes to that! Both of them are way too sweet to have some big ol dragon hounding them!
>Fen hopes the same too, he sounds really nice when he isn’t being scary!
>Him being able to fight ghosts is interesting. And Miss Dino definitely stirs at that, peeking out just a little bit more from his vent at that comment

It was g-great! Thank you again Fly, that was really s-sweet of you! That was so tasty, and t-there’s so much stuff I still need to try here. I’m excited to come back! H-hopefully I’ll have my own coins so you d-don’t have to pay for me
>He definitely still feels a little hungry, but he doesn’t want to be a financial burden on her
>Doesn’t seem like he minds that she didn’t say anything back to the two. He gives her a quick lick on the cheek and steps back to groom some of the crumbs out of his fur before getting ready to head out

>>82533345 (Raoul)
>Fen definitely didn’t forget the little nido. He seems like a quiet natured individual, so his contented silence throughout the meal wasn’t really unusual to the ghost
>And he did seem to really enjoy the bread, so Fen thinks Raoul had a nice time!
>He doesn’t want to call him out, so Fen opts to give the purple rodent a friendly wave

(Sorry was busier than I thought I would be for a bit.
I had a bunch of stuff I was going to bring up the other day that I didnt get around to but tonight my mind is kind of static-y. Something I do remember I'd been meaning to work on was a new batch of quests/missions and a few dungeons. Another thing is I was thinking of adding some NPC teams to flesh out the guild a little more in the background {and also add some people to mess about with for anyone inclined for writing fics and stuff}, give me an outlet for the altaholism without needing to RP extra stuff per se.
I think the other thing was I want to update the maps a little more and also work on the layouts for the other towns and I still haven't fleshed out much of Cedar Valley yet. My main thoughts on that one was old japanese style carpentry everywhere and it being a lot more uptight than the other towns, hence why Nidorina got driven out.)

I have a couple
>Team Razgriz
>Razgriz 1 (Blaze), Fletchinder, Human, Male
>Razgriz 2 (Edge), Trumbeak, Native, Male
>Razgriz 3 (Swordsman), Murkrow, Native, Female
>Razgriz 4 (Archer), Noctowl, Native, Male
They larp as the Razgriz from Ace Combat 5 always on the look out for Belkans, and random super weapons from Strangereal, much to the confusion and mild amusement of everymon else. Blaze, the only human of the team has never actually played Ace 5
>Team Toy
>Balthazar, Baltoy, Human, N/A
>Jade, Sandyghast, Native, N/A
>Cinder, Gligar, Human, Female
A fairly normal team, if unorthodox, that does their job and does it well. Jade is the same Sandyghast who posted the shovel request from the original dispatch post, had some ideas for it to be a reoccurring character from around the time of that post, that never went anywhere)

>>82541774
(Free use NPC teams would be kinda fun I think. I have a Google doc with all the Noble Canis houses with a little summary of each. You could probably do something similar only with staff and indivdual NPCs.
You don't really need to go all out with NPCs so a little summary rather than filling out a sheet and coming up with a backstory would suffice. What they like to do, how promiscuous they are, where you are most likely to find them, etc.

I am really interested in layouts and whatnot though. Inkarnate could really help you make a detailed map without it taking hours and hours to try and do it by hand. That reminds me! I need to map Canis!

(You could probably include some SOS missions for the NPC teams that you mentioned too. As far as NPC teams go, it would be kinda funny to have one that is akin to Team Skull from the explorers of Time/Dark/Sky games. Just a group of assholes that formed a team to troll and fuck with people but never quite break any laws so they never get put away or kicked out of the guild. We probably need some low level antagonists just to cause trouble within the town, but that also keeps the stakes low for fun that everybody can hate on.)

i think about 1-2 years, time is not entirely linear within oasis, in that it moves at the speed of plot

>>82547028
(It's only ever felt like months to me, but time can be pretty screwy sometimes. Still, i'd say less then a year at least.)

(Let's brainstorm the jerk team comp! Feel free to put out better ideas, but they need to be at least competent and strong enough to do missions without too much trouble, but not so strong that they are ever a real threat if they show up during one of your missions to snatch up the reward after you've done all the work.)

(I picture them as a self described "Gigachad" as the leader (but he thinks a Gigachad is the stereotypical "alpha male" asshole that becomes a cop or a youth sports coach so they can lord over people), a mean girl female character (You know the fake friend that loves nothing more than spreading rumors and gossiping), I'm not really sure what the 3rd member could be yet, but I was thinking maybe a mean spirited ghost type that loves cruel pranks. Think like a youtube prankster. Basically, I am thinking that they represent the classic toxic assholes that one might encounter in high school.)

>>82547904
(If we're going off of high-school stereotypes, then Machoke seems like a shoe-in for the classic "alpha-chad jock" of the bunch, who'll be forever stuck as a Machoke because he's too stupid to figure out that he'd need a link cable to evolve.)

>>82547991
(I was thinking more narcissist than Jock for the leader. I had a Tyrunt in my head, but Jock probably makes more sense for a high school bully stereotype. Maybe we could swap out the prankster with a narcissist rich kid and have the Jock Machoke in there. Hell, maybe they could be a 4 man team and keep the prankster.)

>>82547904
(fake friend mean girl, how about Bombirdier?
as for the third, The Sycophant, who praises, supports and does most of the actual work, being taken advantage of by the others, it must be Golbat, forever suck as one too, lacking the friendship to ever evolve)

I wanted to describe it, but couldn't think of the word for that type of person. Golbat or maybe Woobat work well. I think they definitely need someone that can fly to maximize asshole potential.)

(As for the ghost if you're sticking with 4, Sableye makes sense for an annoying prankster that doesn't know when to stop. Unite may or may not be my inspiration there)

>>82547904
(Prinplup jock douchebag could be fun, give him a napoleon complex. I agree with the Bombirdier idea, you could have her like, write down the rumors she wants to spread around and drop them from above onto people. She always twists them to paint someone in a bad light, then blackmails that person with a service to 'fix the misunderstanding'. Sableye is a good ghost prankster, and for annoying flying type henchman I throw in Murkrow!)

(So I forgot to mention with the other post. The last abandonment was due to mining drying up in the area, although the town was mostly an outpost at that time. The time before that though there was an invading bandit army and a big showdown happened, most of the town evacuated to Lapras Bay and although the fight was won, the town and defenders were ravaged and opted to abandon the the place. I've been thinking on and off over time as to what some of the other calamaties were. One would be a mass surge of dunegon mons from the portals.)

It's your call, ultimately, but.. yeah, I can't say I'm really fond of the idea of using moves like that. I get Why, in this context, and I don't really think Raider would take it too far, but... well.. you know.
>Between what Zed's already thinking of and how much importance they place on respecting the sanctity of the mind in general? Yeah, not that hard to guess why they had issues with the concept.

So that's what we're calling Raider now? Hehe~
>His smile is returned, though it is a bit hard to see because of her mask
Nah, but if you're asking, do you think you could keep an eye on our little Fox friend so he doesn't get lured away by some feral girl, never to be seen again?
>Death by snu snu
>Her tail starts to wag a little
I'd owe you a favor and maybe I won't nibble on those big ol' ears next time I see you~ You would probably look good with a notched ear though
>Fly is tempted to try and catch him as he hops down, but his spines convince her that it's not were
>If she can't catch him, she is gonna tease him somehow
>She lets out a little growl and feints towards him like she's gonna get him before having a fit of giggles

>>82561584
>Fly us Starting to wonder just how squishy they are
>Fen may have to share...
Yeah! And since there's two of them, I could put something else on the other one like you, with your ear-ring and rose combo!
>I would think that Ice stones can vary from being clear to being a totally opaque icy blue, Fen should be able to find what he's looking for easily enough
You should probably spend your coins on more food until you fill out a bit. You're way too skinny!
>Fly knows just the jewelry that Raider should wear. . .

>Fly lets out another one of those rumble purrs as he tales her hand
>If it's from Fen, she doesn't shy away from the affection
>She gently presses her forehead into his
>. . .until she remember they have an audience and pulls away all flustered

>Empath powers OP!
Yeah, daddy would know. I don't know if I want to ask him though. Daddy likes to talk and since it's just me and him, he always wants to talk to me and sometimes it's annoying. I guess he just misses mama...
>Raider better keep that tongue in line for sure
>Speaking of tongues...
Huh? Where?
>Her eyes go wide for just a second when he gets her before they go half lidded
Remind me to eat messier next time...

Well, by association at least, sure. At the side of such a noble hearted dragon, our dashing rogue will most certainly strive for heroism. Perhaps even earn an adoring fan.
>Now he’s reaching a bit far, but one can dream.
>Blindsided by Fly deciding it is high time to tease Raoul, the pink critter jolts to the side and faces her.
>A few quick steps bring his lazy hide into safety and his spikes stand tall all over again, in case the icy terror decides to follow through with her threat.
>He stares at the couple with half lidded eyes, brows risen up to his huge horn.
And deny Raider a fulfilling life of lovely and semi voluntary breeding with a beautiful savage?
>Asking to look after the troublemaker is like asking him to herd cats.
>Although, that favour does sound good.
>Not to mention he’d can curry some favour with the cuddly fire badger.
>Raoul actually ponders for a moment, gaze flicking over to the fox in question as he calculates the possible risks for the potential reward.
>With a heavy sighs, he slowly nods.
Fine. I’ll see what I can do, but no promises are made.
>Then, he shoots a sharp glance at Fly.
And please don’t stick any part of me into your mouth, thank you kindly.

This is hard...

Y-yeah, probably f-for the best. I can't get s-strong if I'm so skinny

>They can always be cute together later

Hehe, w-well maybe I c-can help distract him by h-having him explain stuff to me! I w-wouldn't mind talking with your dad and getting to know him better!
>He solemnly nods, ears drooping down a little bit more
Then w-we can help make him feel less lonely then! I w-wouldn't want him to be sad!

Raider gonna get poked later!
>Fly takes a moment to think about something that could represent Fen
>She doesn't come up with anything at first, the suddenly remembers something
Oh! I know! There were a bunch of little thingies in my book. Maybe you could pick one out that you think represents you!
>She pulls the Photo album out of her bag and opens it to the front cover, revealing numerous little trinkets and ribbons it jingles with every movement
>(It's gym badges, achievement ribbons, and contest ribbons from every region)
I got this from under the tree! And it has all these cool little things in it. It's got Daddy's name written on it too so it must be one of his things that he lost.
>She looks up from her book as he comments about his weight
Yeah, but it's okay, you'll get there, especially if Raider is rich like he says he is. Hehe~
>Aww, Fen cares about her daddy when they haven't even met yet
I think he would love that. I just hope he doesn't freak out when he smells us.
>Sharks do have amazingly strong noses so no amount of washing with hide what they've done from him. . .
Anyway...
>She turns back to her book
Which one do you like?
(There's actually a badge called the Fen badge. XD) (https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Gym_Badge)
(https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_Ribbons_in_the_games)

>For some reason, Fly doesn't seem to realize that it's a photo album and not a weirdly thick book
>Fen could easily reach over and turn the pages or he could just pick out a badge or ribbon for her.
>Or anyone else, really

>True to what he said, he didn't give any details about his one-time trist, though mostly because the group kept distracting themselves.
>So much so that he was starting feel a bit like an extra to whatever shenanigans they kept sending each other into. They also keep forgetting that they're in public and not in a more private area...seriously, it's getting a bit annoying.
>It's a good thing that they've finished up and are ready to head on out. With some of them talking about wanting to go to a dungeon, now is probably a good time for him to split off. He clears his throat to get the attention of the group.
Since it seems like you guys plan on splitting up to do your own things, i'm gonna head off and probably take a nap. I had some fun and wouldn't mind hanging out again, just...don't forget where your at when you do things, alright? I'll probably see you guys around, so don't be a stranger.

O-oh, ok. Sorry, I thought I said so-something wrong and upset you… are you sure you’re ok?

Yeah, I got my other stuff too. I got Mama's ball, and of course her bell too!

>As Fen turns the pages to see the rest of the book, the contents of the pages shift from neatly organized labeled badges and ribbons to a collection of images
>A young boy doing a goofy pose with a Frigibax and a Fennekin on his shoulders, the same group, only slightly older with a Yanma on the boy's head, the boy, now a teenager wearing a fancy Spanish flamenco outfit and the Fennekin, now a Braixen wearing cute ribbons with little castanets in his hands
>The Frigibax becomes an Arctibax that looks like a clone of Fly, a Milotic and Dragalge appear, The Yanma Becomes a Yanmega, eventually a Lurantis appears as well and the Arctibax and Braixen manage to evolve
>There are many other photos of achievements and cute interactions like posing with badges and ribbons or the boy hugging and/or teasing his pokemon with embarrassing photos like of the Braixen with half done makeup or the Arctibax being photographed without her mask on with an intense blush
>There's even a sloppily taken picture of the Lurantis snuggling up to the now grown man's bare chest, she obviously took the picture herself and was making a really smug face at the camera
>As the pages turn the boy gets older and so do his pokemon
>An entire lifetime is seen through the pages of this album and at the very end there is a professionally done team photo

S-so you don't see your dad anywhere?... That's w-weird, maybe he was drawing the picture while everyone posed?

Cato was still with Audrey and Evelyn in Day and just riding in a cart in Lapras Bay, I'm not really sure what Sanaa was last doing, but I think she was still boinking Zed, and Oren was last seen sleeping in Raider's room during day, and up on the wall throwing berries at the Kadabra and Scraftys in Lapras Bay.)

(In Lapras Bay Raider, Vex, Oren are bugging the prisoners. Raider was just about to use attract on the Kadabra, but then Luke entered and started to approach him to stop him. I haven't really done much in Lapras Bay for a bit though. Day is a lot more active at the moment. Raider was about to take Fen and Fly to his room after finishing up on Fly's lore dump and a bit of goofing around before going to a dungeon with Ignis and Raoul. Oren could still be sleeping in Raider's room if you want him to meet with the noobies or could have wandered off if you want him to play with someone else.)

Oh yeah, I was buff as hell as a human. I probably could have beaten the new me pretty easily. I might have even be able to wrestle Fly and hold her down, you know if she didn't cheat and try to bite me.
>Raider let's out a little snort as Fen worries about Raould hidden horn

Yes, you are, you just did it twice! That's some banging imagination.

There are tons of birds that do that, all birds are enemies of the desert! Always wanting to peck me...

It could’ve been a mirage, in fact you could still be inside the mirage, you never know! If you get mixed into the oasis then you’d become the oasis sounds like a win/win for me.
Cuz it feels nice, a girl sometimes needs to feel pretty y’know.

thats not how mirages work. i think. also id rather not become a oasis, thank you very much. im already having a hard time getting to used to this. luckily besides a little bit of leaking cream i don't melt right into water. but that also means that taking a bath is probably just removing a layer of cream from me. i dont think im made of infinite cream

You are a talking cream, the first I’ve ever seen, probably the last too.

They aren’t worth my needles. You don’t have skin, so it wouldn’t hurt you.... that doesn’t mean you can touch me.

For the best, it’d take me months before finding another oasis. That actually sounds better than a normal bath, removing any extra cream that makes you look fat. What is in the center of all that cream?
Huh, it’s cream all the way down. That explains your disdain for sand, there are certain places where sand shouldn’t be.

There are plenty of those in the desert, sometimes under the sand or in a big rock.

guh, I guess there would be no chance of meeting another of my kind to ask questions about weird goop biology

wasn't planning to, i don't think most want to get touched by me i leave sugary cream residue on anythin i touch youd need another bath

I don't like the idea of peeling layers off myself, also what would count for fat for a blob of cream
i don't know if theres a center and i don't really want to dig inside myself to find out, or ask someone to dig

Never say never, you can always make another one like you.
Sounds like a sticky situation, tons of mons like sugary things but they want to eat it not touch it.

Hmmm, any amount of cream that makes you slower, gotta keep the figure to run across this
desert.
Cant you change forms? Become reeeally thin to find the center.

The underground isn't so hot some pokemons are made to thrive in here. I cant think of a place you could thrive in

that really isnt reassuring

i dont run though i just. glide? slide? slither? i really dont know how to explain the feeling but it comes naturally
uh maybe? i havent really tested messing with my shape. would be cool if i can stretch my hand out

me neither, dont suppose theres a land made of sugar, spice, and everything nice? cuz i look like something outta a fairytale

Have you tried? Splitting myself would be the first thing I’d try to do, making an army out of me. The implications... the allegations...
Why not? It could make you a coveted pokemon specially if you cream all year. I only give seeds once a year.

So you can be as big as you want you could eventually swallow the entire desert.... I just hop on my root, I have a wide base so I don’t fall.
I thought you designed your current shape, with the cute pink strawberries and stuff.

Maybe you could be with Milktanks in a big open field, with tons of other creamy things, that’s the closest I can think of.

I don't have spare eyes so i rather not test how that works. maybe ill do two one day but still it would probably feel really weird, imagine looking at two different places at once
when you put it that way that doesn't sound so bad, as long as they eat cream and not like, me

turn the desert into a creamy wonderland. must be annoying to hop all the time, working out with every step
might as well experiment with it, worst case ill lose some cream. what should i try to do first?

gosh i could go for some milk, or anything creamy right about now. and no eating my own cream does nothing for me i already tried, its like swallowing saliva

Ho shit, you can remove an eye! Kind of badass. I don’t actually have eyes, just these holes on my head that allow me to see. No eyelids either, always watching, always alert.

There is always a good side to things, some pokemons even fight for my seeds, it gets wild when I’m about to bloom.

I shall stop you before that happens, somehow... Not really leg mons trip, fall and break legs all the time, inherent weakness.
Huuuuu do a flower like mine!

Milk is quite rare, good luck with your cravings. Same with my seeds, plants don’t eat plants.

im staring into the abyss, and its stares back

are they tasty??? do you grow those cactus fruit things

ill note down 'comsume the world with cream' with my other potential plans of what to do with myself
ok but what if you fall over, how hard is it to get back up.
okay okay lets see how this works, maybe if i think about it?

Then maybe you are the eyes, and the cream is just a body a disposable body. Does it hurt when you leave cream behind?
My head is also partially empty, it makes a pleasant sound when moving.

I think they are, they are at least nutritious, could feed a ton of mons with them. Nooo only seeds, flowers, and spikes. Those fruits look too big to come out of me.

Where are you writing this? Make sure to add ‘starting with the skies’
I can bend my base all the way to my head! Gotta be stretchy to dance.
>Samba looks attentively, at least it looks like, the vacant sight with the smile

Shake, shake, shake, Senora, shake your body line

i wanna try a seed but i dont know if i can eat foods, like do they just stay solid in my body or can i digest them. actually can your seeds be planted?

mental note silly, and i cant fly
you should show me how to dance, we are kinda similar with our legless bodies

Too late, you already are.
That sounds like one nasty struggle. Everyone wants to drink milk it is nutritious stuff, that’s why only babies get to have it. I’m sure if you find some it’d make you bigger, dunno about stronger
Evry part of me makes a different shaking sound!

If I bloom when coming over, you could have a chance, but better be fast they get quickly eaten or buried in the sand.
How have you lived this long without finding out? Are you about to starve to death?
Maybe they do, I never take care of them, that would mean I’m the mother of most cactuses around here...

Dang, it was worth a shot.
First step is to move your arms until they make a pleasant sound.

I’m pretty based yes.

What is a Venus fly trap?
That’s such a weird way to call them. Not only Milktanks get milk, any pokemon with breasts have the potential for milk.

okay lemmie copy you.

it doesn't sound very good

uh

have you ever left the desert? they grow on dirt not sand, they are like little plants that lure bugs with nectar and then shut closed on them and eats them slowly with digestive stuff. or are plants alive like you? like talking alive

i don't think i could live with begging some random person for breast milk, at least with miltanks its normal right?

Better not find out if that’s true if it isn’t you’d get knocked in one hit.
Of course I can, just shaking I make music, can’t dance without music.

That’s one way of calling it.
Well, you must’ve gotten food from somewhere, maybe you’ve been eating sand without knowing it. I don’t think there is a reason for anyone to be here.
That’s right, and I hit the JACKPOT with this Oasis, no longer need to wait for rain.

Hehehe it does sound funny, not music funny but weird funny. Maybe you are not a dancing pokemon.

Nope, never left the desert, have you? Ho like a Cacturne they have these big mouths.
There are other plants that move and talk, but not all of them. Sometimes we disguise as a non-talking plant.

It’s better than dying. Milktanks sell their milk. I am not sure why they are the only ones that do it, breast pokemons are weird like that.

aww

i didnt live in a desert i know that much
that sounds scary, like being stalked by a plant and not even knowing if its alive or if youre going crazy

i guess but i dont even have money maybe i should see if anyone wants to buy cream

Are you sure you need them? Maybe once you leave your current body, you’ll be finally be free from the cream.
I have seen bone flutes, but you’d have to get the bone... then carve the bone.... I don’t have bones btw, so don’t look at me.

How that happened? Did you leave your memory cream at home?
No idea, I only come here for the water, they have it on the open without any protection. Better get it before it dries up.

Are you going to start living in the desert? You just asked why some pokemon would do that.
Ghost pokemons are way scarier, disguising as a plant is like mild in terms of survival. I do it when sleeping in the open desert.

Your cream does look tasty, I’d buy you some but I don’t have any money. And sweets make me fat.

you feel like the type of person that would have bones

maybe, i really dont know
so what do you do then, do you just wait in the desert and dont move until you need water?

probably, not because i want to but because its either live here or try to leave the desert and i got a feeling i cant just walk out of the desert
have you seen any ghosts in the desert?

How do you even make money in a desert, sell sand? honestly id probably eat anything at this point, didnt you say you ate meat? what kinda meat?

I’m a plant, plants don’t have bones, your feelings are wrong.

Maybe someday you’ll find your memory
I explore the desert, jump around, survive. I go a long time without water, it’s the same if I move or not.

So you are trapped here, that’s sad. How will you get out?
I have yes, they are always trying to spook you. Not the best ones to be around.

Some pokemons will give you stuff for gold inside the mountains, I suspect it’s what they do here, Pokemons in houses always want gold. I did, sometimes you find a small pokemon in the desert, just a matter of grabbing it. Like Digletts, but you have to be fast before a Dugtrio comes.

Ho, I do have a funny bone, it’s what make me funny

There are some here and there in the desert, no one on this area, it’s pretty far from where I’m from.

Good luck, try to not get eaten or stepped on. I guess those rocks on the ground count as roads, I guess there must be some travel groups but I don’t know any.
Why would you meet one?

Those that can work metals love them, not that I want metals, this bucket here is plant made.
And you are very small, you would have more luck begging for food, or trading your cream.
In the sand no, but there is a farm right there, thanks to the Oasis.
