[psionicmolotov]

As if I could forget, even with you using this ridiculous alias. Again. [ He hasn't actually seen Jarlaxle claim to be Drizzt in person but he's heard about it more than once.

But claiming a different name or not, there's absolutely no chance that Kimmuriel would ever forget the voice of the most irritating drow in the entirety of Faerun. ]

Re: network..........

[nevercaught]

Ah, old friend, whatever do you mean?

But truly, I am gladdened to see that I am not alone here. Where might you be located? I will proceed there directly. I have the most curious little creature to show you.

[psionicmolotov]

You being foolish as usual with names, is what I mean.

Where? Not far from you, I would think.

[ His own companion is, despite having all the freedom in the world for being apparently a sea-dwelling creature that can roam on land unimpeded, seems to want him to keep picking it up. He has no idea why this is.

He has it tucked in the crook of an arm as he uses his own device to transmit images of his location. He's pretty much just outside the starting town.

The Inkay burbles happily and squirms in his arms. Why is he even holding it...why does it get upset when he's not...it can just float on its own... ]

[nevercaught]

I am not far from the dwelling of a woman who is not my mother--this hamlet, from what I can determine, is known as 'New Bark Town.' Indeed, I am heading to the road leading away from it.

[A purple, jewel-eyed imp seems to have climbed up Jarlaxle's body in the meantime. It grins toothily at the camera.]

Ah! My new little friend wishes to say hello.

[psionicmolotov]

[ He studies it for a second, and then just scowls. ]

The look on its face is much too similar to yours. [ Can you hear his disapproval, Jarlaxle? He hopes you can.

Kimmuriel is easy to spot on the road out of town, even with his changed appearance. Light hair and dark skin is still a tell, even if that skintone is a human's and not a drow's, now.

Also, the frown and the fact that he's holding something squidlike in his arms is probably a large hint, too. ]

[nevercaught]

[That gets a bark of laughter.] I know! Is it not delightful? I am well-pleased to have been gifted him.

[And yes, indeed, Kimmuriel is quite easy to spot. He closes the communications channel on the device he was given and strides forward to meet his friend and second.]

Ah, there you are, abbil. I see that you've also been much altered by the translation between planes. I do think we may be human.

[psionicmolotov]

One of you is bad. Two of you is worse! [ And that's all he says until Jarlaxle catches up to him. ]

Human and without any magic. The first would have sufficed as punishment enough.

[ It is tremendously irritating that his new companion seems to have more in the way of mind-altering powers than he does, though they don't seem inclined to use them right now. ]

You look happy enough. [ Jarlaxle is always obnoxiously cheerful but it grates especially here. ]

[nevercaught]

Only in that I see no reason to be overly sad. I still have my life, do I not? As do you.

And more than that, I have you as a companion in this plane—and the imp. I wonder if I might train him to help me in my endeavors. He seems quite intelligent.

[psionicmolotov]

[ He sighs. ] Content with survival as ever...

[ Unflappable as always...but that's always been the way Jarlaxle approaches problems, so everything is as it should be, he supposes. Even like this.

Though he supposes it could be much worse. Despite the changes, it's not an overly hostile plane. ]

And what endeavors would these be? Capturing more of these creatures, as we were asked to do?

[nevercaught]

Why yes, that is exactly what I was thinking. I have been reading this book that I found in the bag. It says that we might train the creatures to fight each other, to win monetary prizes and great acclaim. And indeed, to win precious and rare trinkets as well. This 'megastone' that one might receive after challenging and winning against all the 'Gyms' in a region... I think my new little friend might enjoy the presence of such a stone, wouldn't you, Euol?

[Yes, he has already named the imp after the drow word for 'gem.']

[psionicmolotov]

It's as if this plane was tailored to your interests. You have spent mere minutes in this creature's presence and already, you have named it. Of course.

[ Kimmuriel's own partner, a squidlike creature much cuter than an illithid, seems content without a name as long as they get to be Held. Kimmuriel, despite his protests to this entire thing, is still holding them... ]

If it digs up some kind of Creshinibon I will throw its capsule into a river.

[nevercaught]

Yes, I'm sure you will.

And yes, I did. It seemed like a fitting name. I saw some green spiders frolicking in the tall grass when you showed me your location through the communications device. I intend to catch one of those too.

[His grin stretches across his entire face.]

An orbb in an orb. A delightful prospect, don't you think?

[psionicmolotov]

[ That earns a clear eyeroll and a slight groan. ]

And here I thought you had left behind your terrible jokes with that dwarven friend of yours. I should know better than to hope.

[nevercaught]

Perhaps Athrogate shall show up in time. I am sure that he would find this an enjoyable plane as well!

[He can almost hear his dwarven friend's laughter at his masterful pun.]

What of you? Will Kimmuriel be gathering further companions beyond his miniature squid?

[psionicmolotov]

If I can find any that are well suited for me.

Training these creatures to battle by command should prove an interesting enough diversion. [ Battling by proxies is nothing new, but doing it without mental domination is another thing entirely.

He doesn't have the love of trinkets that Jarlaxle does, but if he needs a partner to fight against or beside, Kimmuriel is content to step into that role. ]

[nevercaught]

I am sure there must be. This 'pokedex' I have found within my device seems to indicate that there are any number of creatures like these. At least three hundred, it seems, for my own is labeled as number three-hundred-and-two.

[psionicmolotov]

[ He fiddles with his own device to figure out the pokedex. ]

This one [ he gestures at his Inkay, still content to sit in the crook of his arm, ] is numbered six hundred and eighty six. It seems this plane is full of them, which I am sure delights you no end.

[nevercaught]

It does! If all the magic in this plane is within these fine creatures, it only follows that I simply must catch them all!

Or, well. A large number at least.

[psionicmolotov]

And where will you keep them all once you have them? [ Despite himself, he cracks a smile. ] Not even you have large enough pockets.

[ A bag of holding, perhaps, but he has a suspicion that if travel to this plane can take away innate powers, then magic items won't be capable of doing much. ]

[nevercaught]

I have read about this too in my guidebook! There is a mysterious artefact known as a 'computer' that shall hold them for me. One can visit its 'terminals' in any large village.
