This place certainly was not prepared for someone of my caliber!

[That duskull laughing honestly should not bring a chill to him, but... it sure does. Ugh.]

I doubt it was like this. But on the... plus side of it, at least no one seems to die here, person or creature. The battles between creatures is only between them and even then they only go until one faints. It's... rather restrained.

[necrodentia]

What??

[ She stops in her tracks. Duskull, not noticing right away, keeps floating along until Rainer reaches out to tug on his little tail thingy. ]

No, Dusky, wait-- over here!

[ She waits until her Pokemon turns around so she's back on camera, looking dead serious (hah). ]

What do you mean no one dies here?!

[maplecourt]

[Oh, right. Somehow he forgot for a brief moment that that might be a shock to a necromancer.

Haha.]

Evidently, if someone dies here, they pop back up in the Pokemon Center. Perfectly fine. I haven't tested that myself for obvious reasons. But it's the same concept with the creatures here.

[necrodentia]

They pop back up... dead, right? This Pokemon Center is staffed by necromancers, reanimating people?

[ That's what he means, right? That's got to be what he means. PLEASE TELL HER THAT'S WHAT HE MEANS. ]

[maplecourt]

Nnnnope. Perfectly fine and alive, last I heard.

[Is he taking a bit of amusement in her shock? Maybe.

Honestly, this makes up for the woodland skeletons fiascos.]

[necrodentia]

That! Is so... GROSS!! How can they mess with the natural cycle of life and death like that!? It's so disrespectful! And how--? How are they doing it!? If they're not necromancers, then-- I thought you said there was no magic!!

[ Oooohhh, she wishes she had her chair right now! Pacing while you rant and rave is so much harder with wheels. ]

[maplecourt]

[He is absolutely taking delight in how upset this is making her. Sorry, Rainer, he's taking his dubs where he can.]

I don't really understand how it works, either. But that's what I've heard from people who've been here far longer than I have. I vaguely recall hearing the name Arceus or... something... similar, who's to blame for all of it.

I think it's their god here. Take it up with him/her/them?

Honestly, that might not be a bad thing to look into in general, now that I think about it...

[necrodentia]

[ Actually, that does seem to work to calm her down a bit. ]

Okay... So... The Pokemon Centers are staffed by clerics, not necromancers...? I guess that's not... totally an affront to the natural order of things.

[maplecourt]

I... think so? I hadn't really questioned it much, it's so weird, Rainer. They all look the same. And all have the same name.

It can't just... be a coincidence, can it?

[necrodentia]

Huh... [ That does sound a little creepy. ] Are you sure it's not just the same person, teleporting, or... or multiplying themselves?

[ She keeps forgetting about the "no magic" thing. ]

[maplecourt]

Nnnno? The line is that they're related but they all look exactly the same. And there's no magic at all! So I don't know how they could multiply or teleport like that. And there's one in every single town.

[necrodentia]

I thought you said each town has a teleportation circle?

[ Okay, maybe not exactly what he said, but she got the gist of it. ]

It's one thing to look like your relatives, but it's another thing to name everyone in your family the same name.

[maplecourt]

It does, but there's also a lot of towns! And it's... not necessarily instant, it's a rather imperfect "science".

[She just isn't going to believe him until she sees it, is she?]

Whenever we get into Cherrygrove, I'll show you what I mean. All the same name. All look the same. You'll see.

[necrodentia]

[ No, probably not. Though she does feel inclined to give Fitz the benefit of the doubt. ]

Alright, I guess I'll have to take your word for it until we get there.
