Devon always loyal and friendly. He won't judge you. He won't make you regret showing weakness, right? You release him from his Pokeball. It seems like a lot of effort.

He looks ready for battle when he comes out. After a second of looking around, he sees there are no enemies here. Just you. Alone. Sitting against a tree in the light moss. He makes his way over to you and licks your face. Even with how terrible you feel, you still let out a laugh at how much it tickles. He looks up to you, like he has a question. Maybe he wants to know how to make you happy.

"I don't know." You start scratching him behind the ears. "I just don't know what I'm doing lately. Should I have just lied? Should I have just not taken anything to begin with?"

You thought making friends was hard. Losing friends is much harder. Is she lost? Devon still stares at you, looking for an answer. You look back at him.

Just try sitting and being for a little while. See what we want. Honestly, it seems that if Robin is this bent out of shape over things, it might be time to just move on down the line. She knew we were a thief before.

Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor girl, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me.

>Unfortunately, this is where the 5 min rule bites us in the ass, as it favors fast responses rather than writeins and thinking.

I've been thinking of that too. I'd hate to slow things down because I feel I take too long as it is, but would people be opposed to switching to a 10 minute rule? I've noticed that the votes right away and the votes after are usually every different, and 10 minutes seems like a pretty decent amount of time to talk about things.

Not that I'm complaining about how people are voting. There have been a few surprises, but it's been keeping things organic and fun for me.

I'd prefer that.

Since the ones who take longer are the ones who are actually thinking about the decisions.
>>
>>29476392
play the flute as you walk back to the Pokemon Center.

to the anon posting about how much our MC is changing:
I don't completely like what happened in there, but either way, Robin wasn't a prominent figure in that dream. MC might be conflicted about whether stealing makes her worth less as a person, but that would mean that she doesn't really care about Robin more than she cares that someone can make MC become something more. That's bad for relationships.

Yeah I think extending it is better. 5 minutes is kinda short.

>>29476541
This is actually one of the faster quests. You can probably afford to slow down by 5 minutes without issue.
>>
>>29476541
Another possibility, if there's a very late write-in that you like, is to call for a quick revote.

Doesn't matter too much to me personally; I'm actually kinda okay with GuPQ, and that's horrifically slow.

"Maybe this whole friends thing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Maybe I would be better off on my own. Well with only you guys." Devon just stares. You don't know how much of what you're saying is getting through to him.

You take out your flute. That's how you caught Devon. His ears perk up as he sees you take it out.

You play. At first your breath is shallow. After a short while though, you begin to lose yourself in it. You play out everything you wish you could say to him. You play about your dream, how you feel worthless, that you might like Robin, everything. Everything you're feeling and everything you've felt comes out. You don't even hear the music anymore, you just feel it.

Devon is curled up beside you as you finish up. His warm body feels comforting against your skin. The slow, steady rhythm of his breathing reflects your much calmer, more relaxed state.

You know what you're going to do now.

>Go back, Robin probably has had time to cool off. Talk to her
>Go back, let things be for now, but just confirm you're still traveling together. Forgiveness will come naturally

>>29477112
If we don't do something, we will be forgotten as "that one thief who ran off years ago". Any sort of relationship is on a thread, and we need to do something to keep it from snapping.

After what happened earlier, we are NOT giving her dad the satisfaction of Robin crawling back to him.

>Go back, Robin probably has had time to cool off. Talk to her

Kat feels horrible, but Robin probably feels just as bad. Think about that for a sec, and then go get this squared off. It'll probably mean promising not to steal or lie to her anymore, but having friends is worth it, right?
>>
>>29477157

Better that than "That fucking bitch, I hope she dies"
>>
>>29477177
Liquid courage is bad in this situation. I don't think we want her to remember we drink as well as steal.

It'd be even more badass if we showed up with the gym badge and then apologized to Robin.

>>29476997
>Go back, Robin probably has had time to cool off. Talk to her

>>29476997

I'm surprised how little people care about Vance. He was out all night, wrestling bears, and we can't even be arsed to watch and make sure he doesn't die.
>>
>>29477249
He made it to the pokemon center, he should be fine.
>>
>>29477249
But he's not kawai
>>
>>29477249
Because Vance is tough. He wrestled a fucking bear.
He doesn't really have anything to do with this situation
>>
>>29476997
Move on. You're clearly not meant to be with other people, you thieving scum.
>>
>>29477249
I like Vance.
>>
>>29477214
I'd agree with that sentiment. I mean, she was crying before we left, so it's obvious she'd be a wreck if we just up and left.

And I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be the point to leaving.
>>
>>29476997
Apologize, but make it clear that it's part of who we are AS OF THE MOMENT. Lay off the teasing, and actually think about what it's like to have companions as you travel together. After that, and finishing the deal with Vance, THEN decide whether of not to go alone. That should be enough time for Robin decide what SHE wants to do as well.

>>29477187
that's a terrible idea, leaving those 2 together.

I kinda meant overall. We should've looked for him first thing in the morning instead of going to the museum.
And now, he shows up bloodied and we just toss him a pokeball and walk past him twice. How would that even look to him?

>>29477223
And how is "that bitch I hate" functionally different from our perspective from "that thief I've forgotten"?

A chance of repair is much better than guaranteed failure.

The male character demonstrates one negative character trait and we forget he exists, and we swoon over the first female character who shows up cause she's our TRUE LOVE. It's like we're really on /u/.

Well, I do like Vance a lot more after the bear, but we have much more pressing issues.

>>
>>29477441
Dealing with Vance is non-urgent. Dealing with Robin is.

>>29477522
Let's see here: destroying her relationship with her father, relentlessly teasing her, dragging her into a haunted house, mooching off her money at points. It's generally probably been for her own good in the long run, but will she see it that way?

It was really obvious that Robin wanted to be left alone. When she walked into the Pokemon center, we should've stayed outside and watched/assisted Vance. It would've gotten our mind of the mess for a bit instead of having a pity party.
>>29477468
He watched our pointless battle, it's the kind of thing you do for a friend. His life in on the line here and we also agreed to help him train. It's kinda relevant.

You consider moving on. Maybe people don't let you down, maybe it's the opposite.

No, you're going to head back and talk to Robin. That's what friends do, right? You're a bit new to this. You and Devon make your way back the Pokemon center, giving him the occasional flute melody as you walk. He reacts differently to each note. It's almost like your own secret code.

Before you're all the way back though, you take out a bottle from your bag and give it a decent chug. You wipe your mouth with your sleeve. This won't be easy. You have no idea what you're going to say.

You make your way passed the crowds around Vance. Looks like he won. The entrance is loaded with people trying to talk to him, or talk about what he did. You don't even consider how easy crowds like this are to pickpocket. He laughs jovially and doesn't notice you.

Robin is still at her bed in the dormitory. despite it being so early in the day. She's rigged up it up so the bunk has a blanket sheltering her from the rest of the room.

"What?" You hear, muffled through the blankets.

Is it really that bad to steal? Was my lie really so awful? What do you see me as, Robin? It was pretty obvious that I'm not a saint, but your dad wasn't entirely wrong about me. I told you before, I was a number, a statistic. The only time they cared about me was when I rebelled, and I did that often.

Do you still want to go with me? Is there something you want to do? Right now, I just want to learn what it's like to just BE with somebody, to interact like a normal human being.

Highly amusing timing and .gif.

>>29477801
It's a little bit hard, because we need to discuss each of the things in depth. I'd prefer somehow trying to get all of the issues introduced, and ask if there's something she'd like to do. My own attempt was... okay, but I know it could've been done better.
>>
>>29477682
>Ask her how she's doing. Dealing with her dad must've been tough

>>29477801
No, what you lead with matters a lot. She had a rough day and actually showing we care is much better than just falling down and begging for her forgiveness.

There probably should be tears, yeah.

I forget, what exactly was the lie we told her?
>>
>>29477979
Definitely at least the name thing.
>>
>>29477979
Probably about only stealing a little bit to get by, or she's just being emotional. Emotional people tend to do things like this
>>
>>29477979
The mistake wasn't lying, it was telling the truth

That dialogue is a terrible mixture of self righteousness and self pity. It is completely unbelievable.
>>
>>29478039
It was the right choice, a relationship needs to be built on trust, platonic or romantic.
>>
>>29477979
It was technically a lie of omission, but she (rightfully) wasn't having any of that excuse.

No we didn't, if anything it'll make her trust us more since we've proven we won't lie to her.
>>
>>29478083

But when did we omit it?

So just a question but people on 4chan are aware that relations do not collapse like cards right? ANd if they are hurt they can be rebuilt right? Because alot of you act like thats impossible

4chan is mostly built from shut ins and people society rejected. they have no fucking clue how real relationships work and base human interaction off anime and movies
>>
>>29478166

I assumed they had some family memebrs
>>
>>29478090
Perhaps, but I think those two things would be compartmentalized. That dialogue is just terrible and I can't imagine anyone ever saying it.
>>
>>29478140
It will be exceedingly difficult if we don't repair at least some fragment of it tonight, because it's highly unlikely that we'll get another chance. A more established relationship might survive, but this one is yet fragile.
>>
>>29478140
I don't think anyone said it was impossible, just that it could have been avoided
>>
>>29478185
Ones I'm estranged to? Yes.
>>
>>29478185
everyone on 4chan hates / is hated by their family
>>
>>29478140
Generally when people in my life fall, they fall harder than a Paladin and start doing all the drugs. There's a reason that we just let those relationships go.

You're more concerned about how she's doing than how you're doing. It's a strange, new sensation. "How are you doing? After the thing with your dad and all." In a way, she's just as much an orphan as you now.

Her little makeshift curtain peels back by a sliver. She's not just letting you see her. She's letting down her defenses, and letting you in, just a little. "I...don't know." She says. She looks like she's struggling for more, but she can't seem to add anything else. She's at a loss for words. She can see that you're able to read her, even through the dim light of her tiny fortress. She sighs and rips the blanket down. She doesn't seem to have more to say on the matter, not because she's mad, but because she just doesn't know.

"Look," You start. You're not sure where you're going. "Robin, I'm sorry I lied." You take a seat on the best next to hers.

She stops playing with the edge of her pillow, and looks you in the eyes.

"And I'm sorry I stole. I mean, I know that wasn't really to get by. I just do things like that sometimes." She can see the confusion in your face. "I can't promise I'll never do it again, but I can promise I won't lie to you. And I'll work on it." Even though you're just laying it out, and not trying to say what you think she wants to hear, it's clear she wanted to hear that. "I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm new to having friends. To trusting people."

Before you can start rambling too much, Robin stands up. She gives you a gentle hug. It's your turn to stain her shirt now. You can't help it. The tears just flow. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you hope people are too busy in the main lobby to come see you, but it's just a passive though, and not very important right now. After a few more minutes, you pull away and look her in the eyes. "Are we still traveling together?"

She doesn't laugh, even though you can tell she thinks it's a silly question. "Of course." She wipes away the tears from your face. "Of course."

You don't know what to do or say. You just let it out some more into her chest. She strokes your hair gently. No more words are needed. You feel that right now, you can say whole novels in a single glance.

After a good, long while, you finally slowly get up. You both let the private moment fly away, and allow the world around you to seep in once more. You reach to your head and grab hand from on top of your hair. You don't push it off, you just hold it, and grab the map that's laying on her bed. She must have been studying it before you came in.

"So, I guess we just have to figure out where we're going next." You say. The map outlines the local area. Kindletown, Aquapolis, and Chloroville. She looks in your eyes and can see a lot of the information on it is new to you.

"All three of the cities play up the obvious rivalry implied in the names. It's actually a tourism/marketing gimmick to get people riled up for competitions and things like that."

She points to the city to the north. "That's Aquapolis. The 'polis' makes it sound like a sprawling cityscape with massive buildings, honking traffic, and crowds of people scurrying about. Really though, Aquapolis is a medium sized mountain town, it's most famous for it's hot springs."

Her small, slender finger drags on the map over to the large city in the east."Chloroville is actually is a sprawling metropolis. It was founded on nearly worthless swampland, but it's been expanding and booming ever since it was established." You look at her in surprise. She's a walking encyclopedia. "Must be something in the water there."

"I don't think Vance will care. Either way is about equal distance to Braundalin City"

She looks you in the eyes again. "I'll go wherever you go." You have to remind yourself that the time for tears and dopey emotions has passed.

Well, as one anon mentioned: you can swap it up as well.
More contested choices might be worth 10, but move choice during battle, barring options outside of direct combat being available, come to mind as something that probably shouldn't be that long.

On that note, we should probably pay more attention to Vance, since he appears to be the third member of the classic Three Person Pokemon Band, and he honestly seems like a pretty cool guy. Wrestled a bear and doesn't afraid of anything

Yeah. On the upside, this probably gave him a rediculously good bond with his new mon.
Encouraging them to play wrestle a bit to further their understanding and comradeship might be good, offhand.

Yeah, I kind of regret trying to ditch him now
