Bio

It's me, that dood, Citrus Arms. I'm 33, I sometimes work on a book a little bit, and I play a lot of games. I like me some MechWarrior or the X-Frontier series, but I also adore some good magic-fantasy. I grew up with Final Fantasy VI's magitech world, and worlds like Chrono Trigger, Zelda, and Star Fox. Lots of Nintendo, but some other stuff, too.

I like sci-fi and fantasy and space and combinations thereof, mostly. I have a setting take takes place after a galactic apocalypse, in a galaxy of recovering empires and new interstellar nations rising from the ashes, all while machinations from the apocalypse cause a rise in magic.

Well, it wasn't like she had any better ideas. There was the crime ring, but she didn't think they were directly connected. Just another catalyst, the important part they had to play was probably the drug. To amplify the power of a magical prodigy sounded like the perfect stage for disaster. If she could stop things, was this her chance?

"I've my own preparations, but I will join you." She should let that old couple know that she wouldn't be around for a few days, and probably pack a few things. She still had to grab her shield and booster from where they'd been letting her rest, too. "Shall we meet by the gate, then?"
"What, from the ferry?" They were lucky a herd of them didn't get mad about it. She would have had to respond to that. Well, it ended up going alright, so she supposed it didn't matter now.

Before she could seriously consider asking anything, a couple of Wingull got in a serious fight! She didn't think infighting normally got this heated was there a disturbance in the area? A sudden influx of trainers, maybe, but wouldn't that mean more food? Hmm... May it was just a delicacy? Did wild Wingull have such a concept? She would have to keep an eye out for other strange behavior.

"A Pokemon Center? Yeah, I was on my way there. It's right down the street, this way. Uh, hey, why don't we..." She opened up her bag and flopped her Ranger hat onto her head, before reaching back in. "I should have one or two in here... Somewhere... Ah." She pulled out a pokeball, expanded it, and offered it to the Wingull. "Hey, Wingull, can you hear me? We'll take you to get healed, and then release you again." Was it capable of responding right now? She could only hope.

So, Varjan was that kind of tragedy, huh? Never wanted for his talents or status, wanted a simple life. "Oye, oye..." But, all that gave her good information. It'd be tough, but maybe if she could befriend him, maybe she could turn this all around. That might be really tough, though

"Nobles always make things so complicated," she grumbled softly, then spoke up, "he lives that far? He could easily outpace us, what makes you think he'll spend days there? I suppose they are his parents, after all. He might well spend days reasoning with a hot-tempered man like that." The boy showed respect enough to his folks to obey their wishes and do something he seriously had no desire for. Did the Court Mage fear that this outcome was their coming apocalypse, when he heard of the vision prophecy? Maybe she'd have to ask him later, but it was only for her curiosity, really. There was one other question bothering her...

If the boy was involved, was he a catalyst, or the apocalypse itself? If he was abusing some power drug, it could go either way.
Yes, sorry. Unemployment stuff and interviews and stuff. I'll whip one up.
"If I had to take a guess, your Mantine misses the ocean. But that's only a guess, so don't quote me on that." Regan shrugged. It was really the only thing she could think of right now, without anything else to go off of. "Can you tell me about how you caught your Mantine? There might be clues there, too. I caught Rapier like any other Pokemon, battled a wild Starly and caught it, but some of my other Pokemon I had more interaction with before I caught them. Like Kawaken."

"You don't like it here?" Kawaken tilted to the side thoughtfully, "I suppose I wouldn't be too happy in salt water, myself... But she doesn't make me go in to the ocean unless it's necessary." He nodded matter-of-factly, before almost scoffing at the Mantine, "you think she's weak? I don't know about that, Regan's pretty tough. She even taught me how to do this!" Kawaken dropped into a fighting stance, facing away from the Mantine and performed a Sky Uppercut into the open air. Water from the fountain came up with it, making a tiny rainbow for just a second.

"Whoa, good form, Kawaken!"

The princess had been somewhat quiet. Perhaps she was just trying to absorb all this information without being overwhelmed by certain surprising facts. It was good, if she was trying to keep her head. Knowing when you needed to calm yourself down is important.

"That is quite a curious bit, isn't it?" They did seem to know quite a bit about his family, "and that old man was rather tenacious. You said Varjan was headed home? Well, from the sounds of it, we should hurry, should we not? So what are we waiting for?" Maybe she was inviting herself, but she didn't really have any better ideas at the moment.
Oh, cool. Alright then. I'll hang on just a little longer
Okay, I guess we're not going to hear from the princess first.
"Sounds like it's not so different from any other Pokemon occupation. I've been working with Rapier for a long time, it's almost like he can read my mind. Almost." Though, in a certain way, he's being disobedient even now... I suppose I'm thankful, though.

"You don't have any other water types, then? Hmmm..." Mantine. An ocean Pokemon. Was it feeling out of place? "Let's see how she plays with others. Kawaken." At her call, the single pokeball on her belt opened and a Poliwhirl came out, quickly slipping into the fountain and waving to the Mantine.

"Hey there. I'm Kawaken, it means river fist. At least, that's what she told me. How are you?
Regan have a soft giggle, "I didn't see, I just heard you lamenting." She looked over at the mantine for a moment, thinking about this trainer's problem. "It won't listen, huh...? Well, pleasure to meet you, Toshi. Toto. I'm Regan, and I'm new around the islands. That guy up there is Rapier." She looked up at that Staraptor perched on top of the hotel, watching them.

"You're here for contests, huh? I remember encountering a few of those, way back when, but I never bothered trying to get involved. You... What, make a spectacle?" It wasn't anything she ever really understood deeply. She got the general idea, but beyond that, she was clueless about the contests.
