Since as Shrapnel said he wasn't there, I'll explain what happened in the first session. As he implied, we were both going to play our characters from
the previous game, but the way this game was going made that unfeasible. So I'm writing this as if we were playing Cuil and Agahnim from the beginning because retcons are all the rage these days.
A Priest, A Rabbi, and A Researcher Walk Into a Bar
So the party meets in Lavender Town, where there is some sort of conference going on or something like that. We meet a guy named Michael Strazinski, and Agahnim tries his best to avoid him, fearing that Strazinski will force him into a shitty deal with the devil where Dorf is aborted. Well, there's a battle where someone else's Butterfree is basically exploded by the Dorf Ice Punching it and some other things get their asses kicked too. Everyone gets some sweet, sweet XP and the world moves on. As do our heroes, to check out Lavender Town.
The Conspiracy Begins
So a company called
Cloverleaf Industries seeks to
convert Pokemon Tower into a Radio Tower. Phineass suggests that they start the most metal band ever by broadcasting in a grave site with ghost Pokemon in the background, and Agahnim (ever the lover of metal) agrees to this, as does Sincha. They visit the tower to scout it out. A wave of protesters blocks the entrance to the tower. Talking to them, our heroes are dismayed to find out that the graves will be moved upon construction. We vow to take care of this.
Enter Guido
We fake being investors and get an audience with
Guido, the mysterious head of Cloverleaf Industries. This marks the first and last time that a plan of ours will work. Talking to him, we realize it's not going to be a radio tower, and they want it for some other sinister purpose. We want in and Guido offers us a job with Cloverleaf, but he tells us to go out and get some experience under our belts before doing too much for him.
Pride Cometh...
So we decide to get some Ghost Pokemon in Pokemon Tower before doing anything else. It's there, may not be there for long, and Ghosts would prove useful in order to fight Sabrina, the closest Gym Leader. Everyone catches some Duskulls and all is good. Drunk upon our success, we decide to play a harmless prank on some kids by scaring them. Being stupid kids, they cry and piss themselves and shit themselves and run into walls. One of the kids happens to be named Michael Strazinski, and we assume that means that he's the son of the guy we met earlier or something. The director of Pokemon Tower (who just happens to be nearby) calls for security and we run.
...Before a Fall
Agahnim catches a Cleffa on the way out. (it was going to be a Gastly but then the MC heard the Navi "Listen" phrase - Phineass' player's ringtone -and declared it was a Cleffa instead). Confronted by the director and his rent-a-cops, Agahnim declares that the director's claim of them being responsible for anything is a lie. They don't buy Agahnim's claim, despite his high CHA, and advance. Agahnim decides to try to talk it out, but Sincha speaks first. He announces that the director is a goy whose foul, uncircumcised dick-cheese is stinking up the room and clouding their minds to the truth. We're kicked out, banned for life, and Agahnim says that the director is a fascist who religiously discriminated against Sincha. Sincha and Phineass decide revolution against the oppressive government is the only solution. Agahnim goes along with this, and the session ends here.
(And it was about here that I realized my previous character would be terrible for this game. Shrapnel changes characters next session, and technically so do I. The MC will be continuing the adventures of Tsubasa and Kris [Johnny and Crazy Jeff have left] for sessions where Phineass and Sincha's players can't make it, as Shrapnel and I can make it to the MC's place much more frequently.)
Next up: Exposition! But first: Time Travelers!
EDIT: fixed typos, adjusted some other things.
