Whatever plans you had established weren't going over well ANYWAY. Your post specifically said you walked off soon after Lucia did. That wasn't an error in my READING more so an error in how you write.
RAGE FACE.
RAGE CONTINUES ...
If you had some kind of motive for having your character stick around where they weren't wanted/needed, then that's you're ultimatum, not mine. Plus, there was no story arc in place for you. The main reason Meganium and the others circled themselves around me, was because Meganium and the others volunteered to be the ones that would help my character learn his way around. Had it not been for your little potato fiasco, that would have been accomplished MUCH sooner than need be.
Your "story arc" as you call it was, if anything, a hinderence and it had nothing to do with the current situation. If you have some kind of OTHER ideas for meeting people (that are ultimately going to be your enemies anyway), I'd like to request that you leave Lusca, and anyone else I may be interacting with at the time, out of the "story arc" you put in place.
