NaNoWriMo Day 11
Added 2017-11-13 05:51:06 +0000 UTC “The goal of this field test is to retrieve a pearl for one of our clients, a Spoink. You will be permitted to use any items we have provided, or utilize what you may find on the field. You pass the test if you retrieve the pearl and exhibit traits that we find suitable for exploration team leaders. You will automatically fail if either of you faint or receive more than 5 penalties. Penalties include endangering yourself or others, damaging the natural environment of the Mystery Dungeon, irritating native pokemon, and irresponsible attack usage. Likewise, you will receive a penalty for every 2 hours you spend on the field, so don’t dilly-dally. If at any point you feel like you are at risk for your life, you should use an Escape Orb. It’s better that you forfeit the mission than harm yourselves. I’ll be monitoring your progress as you go along, but I cannot interfere at any point.” The entire time Chatot doesn't break eye contact once to look at what Rune can only assume is the official rule listing on the clipboard. He clearly has given this speech far too many times.
He shakes his feathers, which glimmer bronze, red, and yellow in the sun. “If you’re fine and understand all of these rules, we’ll head over to the testing site.”
