PMD: Seventeen Plates DT

@Charizard821 why, because I love him of course! He's my favorite trickster after Gengar and before Zoroark. That and because I'm partially mad. But I think tfe scene as I see it is going to appear much more creepy than ridiculous.
Yes. I am seriously considering doing that. I will, it's too late now, I imagined the scene... Heheheahahah this is gonna be gooooood...
@Robusto I didn't realized you had sprites this creature yourself. Pretty freaky, I'd say. AND IT'S UTTERLY UNFAIR! How DARE you guys talk as I'm dreaming of hoops and ghosts, 4AM my time D: but oh well, I'll leave Volcanion to Silver, it's fine.
I haz mah Hoopa fo' comfort :3

That crazy image aside, Robusto, if someone does it, please ask them to add a Golden Fleece-like cape around Twinkiel's neck and shoulders. It's a bit foreshadowing, but whatever.and I totally approve too!

Um... if you want a picture drawn, @Robusto, I can do that. It may not be in the official art style though, because I don't have the tools to accomplish that, and I'm used to working with vectors.

You did a great job with the map, so I trust you to do an equally amazing job on a group picture. Go for it.

And @Tortwag, do you want to take the final half of the MD and the Guardian battle, or should I finish of the MD?

No, it's actually a good thing that you stopped before we entered, @Robusto. Lemme take it from here, if you don't mind. I should be fine

Goodness, you people were talkative while I was sleeping. I shall address the matters in order of appearance:

1. @Tortwag, I meant could we slow the rate at which we submit posts down. I cannot post during the week, and even during the weekends, I shall be quite busy. (We have interhouse tomorrow, which is why I can post today or tomorrow.)

2. @Charizard821, Mt. Icewind is the large mountain next to Frostpoint - the Glacial Museum is at its peak. However, Ice types are resistant to other Ice types, so she'll most likely be kept at Mt. Providence. As for the rescue mission, I was thinking the two Riolus would be sent with others to find the Icicle Plate, and when Riley leaves, Gabriel wants to follow, but the Plate takes priority. It will make for interesting internal conflict. So, "@Charizard821, Gabriel won't be there." I can assure you someone will go after Riley, but it won't be to help him. Perhaps the best thing to do would then simply be to let him run off on his own. *throws confetti as an afterthought*

3. @Robusto, that was an excellent post. However, all the wild Pokémon they encounter seem to be rather weak. And where is the trail Tornadus left? The should have been a path of disruption as wide as the Pacific, as he is not one for subtlety.

4. @TheSilverFox, since Keldeo is your ally, you can do with him whatever you want to, as long as it does not interfere with other participants' plans. Having said that, your suggestion seems splendid to me - though I need Keldeo to have at least some knowledge of Alchemy. The Toxic Plate will indeed be found before the meeting, but the Iron Plate will only be found much later. (It's located in the Valley of the Ancients, so you can imagine why.) I think Keldeo should decide to find the Toxic Plate to spite Hoopa, since you don't convince someone in joining your cause by torturing them, but Keldeo should have previous experiences with the Tower, which is why he expects the Plate to be held there.

5. But I must say, I appreciate your willingness to cooperate and improvise. Just pay attention (and a great amount of it) to everyone's plans in general - if you want to read the DT from the beginning, then you can do that, or you could just PM Robusto - and keep the distance and the time requried to move that far in mind.

6. Charizard and Silver, Volcanion is actually neutral, as I mentioned in Jewels' first post. Tortwag summed him up quite well. (I know, right? Dual Fire and Water!) Though, Robusto, if we must bring him in though, I dibs him! ← Drat, Silver beat me to it.

7. Oh, Charizard, Tortwag meant he wants Twinkiel to hug Hoopa because he'll likely use Discharge, and since Ghost/Psychic/Dark types are completely unrelated to Electric types, Hoopa will feel the sting.

8. Yay! You posted! I have finished reading it by now, so I'm working on my post again. I have many ideas, but so little time to apply them all...

9. Silver, it depends when he needs the favour. If your character isn't doing much and Riley needs assistance (or Charizard needs you to do something else), you'll be lucky. If, however, Riley has an important event coming up... well, let's just say there are many films that aptly illustrate why owing someone a favour is an exceptionally risky endeavour.

10. A group illustration would be nice, Robusto, but each of the character's mannerisms would have to be included, and that means lots of time and reading - more than is already required to create such an illustration. If you can find someone willing, then sure, go for it. (I just saw Buggie's post, so this comment isn't that relevant anymore...)

11. Charizard, this is about your post. Since Gabriel is a Fighting type, he can lift objects more than three times his weight; however, I don't want you to change your post, so just keep that in mind next time. Other than that, I have no complaints whatsoever. Your post was absolutely phenomenal! 4085 words - 18463 characters and ten pages - is an impressive feat indeed! If this was an SB where we needed money and applied my characters-for-coins-system, Riley would have been more than 1500 coins richer. It truly is impressive, and worthy of being written by you. A perfect post for rejoining the SB, I think.

Thank you @AstralHunter. But remember, despite being the fighting type, Gabriel himself said he never works out. And after doing it for the first time, his muscles may have been a little tired, after he had little time to rest, so I think it could be reasonable for the young Riolu to be a little weak, don't you? Also, you never told us. Why does Gabriel not like being called Gabe? I'm sure we all want to know. Also, you said that the Plate takes precedence over saving Articuno. That got me thinking. Everyone imagine your character and everything you know about them, be it Twinkiel, Ren, Flurry or whoever. If their Legendary ally was captured and sentenced to death, would your character leave them to die and go for the Plate, or would they attempt a rescue and give up the Plate to the NO? Just a fun little discussion I thought we could have. Also, remember guys I need to know who's following Riley. Thanks to the two that have already told me.

@AstralHunter Oh, right. Well then... How about at least one post a week, then? Speaking of busy, I'll be away for the next week, because exams. And it's only going to get worse, so we'll both be pretty busy. I AM in my last year of school as well, after all.
Don't mention Tornadus' trail. A mystery dungeon's layout changes every time someone go inside,ceven if it leads to the same place. So just leave the bodies to me
Um, actually Astral, Articuno is part flying. She's affected to Ice. The only reason why she's wouldn't be kept there though would be because she's simply OP in an icy environment.
And... You're only partially right about the hug part electricity is involved in there, though, but no more details until you see the scene. Trust me, it's gonna be amazing.
Wha? I don't see how that's a problem. I can just send a PM to Buggie with a summary profile of each our characters, their treats, mannerisms, etc. As one of my favorite Kingdom Hearts boss would say: "I have analyzed all of your data!"

@Charizard821 Twinkiel would give up a Plate for Celebi. 1: he kinda considers her as a great friend, 2: she's a major and very useful ally.
And if any of us would be rash enough to give up everything and attempt a rescue mission, he'd paralyze him/her (literally), prepare a plan, expose it to the person and THEN let him/her go.

Also, just finished your post. AND IT WAS GREAT, especially imagining th quick punches. Oh, OH, AND THE HIGHER GROUND REFERENCE
But seriously I feel like Riley will fall madly in love when Flurry evolves into the creepy, badass frozen beauty that is Froslass.

*ahem* Robusto, checketh thine inbox please ^^

._. wait...so im just standing guard while Zulu and twinikiel go fight the guardian right? meh, lame but whatever.

I knew there were going to be two people who appreciated that reference. One of them was you, @Tortwag.

pfffghghffhgfhhfgfhfhffffff XD XD XD

ok, ok, can I PLEEAASSEE just say something?

Spoiler

nerds X3

Liek @15253's post above if u cri everytim... :,(

Speaking of @15253's posts. Love the latest one in the SB dude. Moltres just got a whole lot less cool to me. How could the bird be so defensive when everything Ren said was true?!

@Charizard821, that's a good point. In that case, I'm content. But why does Gabriel not want to be called Gabe and why does he react so vehemently to it? Well, I have an excellent reason for that, and I shall reveal it in my next post.

@Tortwag, more than just a spark's going to fly when Twinkiel hugs Hoopa? I'll eagerly await the submission of that post. However, you are incorrect about Articuno's "type disadvantage" - if I were a Pokémon Professor, I'd specialise in types. You see, Ice types are resistant to other Ice types, so that resistance cancels out her Flying type's weakness to Ice. Unfortunately, she is still weak to Fire and Steel, and because of the Flying, she has a double weakness to Rock. Considering that, it would be better for the NO if she was to be held at Mt. Providence, where all three types are present.

@15253, I just love it when characters' emotions run high. Excellent post!

On a sidenote, I cannot submit my post today - I'm having to rewrite parts of it - so expect it tomorrow.
