 [22:47] <Dakarai> The only place that has that is Taqnateh. Keep in mind Sehto is not trainer-friendly.

+Glutamate is used at the great majority of fast excitatory synapses in the brain and spinal cord. It is also used at most synapses that are "modifiable", i.e. capable of increasing or decreasing in strength. Excess glutamate can overstimulate the brain and causes seizures.[citation needed] Modifiable synapses are thought to be the main memory-storage elements in the brain. Excessive glutamate release can lead to excitotoxicity causing cell death.
-[00:35] <Dakarai> TYPES: Light
-[00:35] <Dakarai> DESCRIPTION: This pokémon resembles a manta-ray more than a bird, though it floats through the air rather than through water. It seems to consist mainly of its own outlines, mostly transparent - the only exceptions are elaborate patterns on its body. All non-transparent parts of it are luminescent. Eyes are not visible, but it acts as if it had a pair.
-[00:35] <Dakarai> EVOLUTION: (none)
-[22:03] <Dakarai> There are a few "normal" animals in Sehto, like crickets, mosquitos, and other insects, but there are certainly no normal mammals.
-[02:43] <Dakarai> What will you RP?
-[02:44] <Fracture> Fracture maybe?
-[02:44] <Dakarai> You can't RP Keith (no offence).
-[02:44] <Fracture> or whatever you need me to
-[02:44] <Dakarai> Why would he use Fracture? >.>
-[02:44] <Fracture> none taken
-[02:44] <Fracture> He scares me
-[02:44] <Dakarai> Heehee.
-[02:44] <Fracture> electric
-[02:44] <Dakarai> Yeah, but remember the way the gym is set up.
-[02:44] <Fracture> ground moves aren't supper effective against them but still pretty good
-[02:45] <Fracture> that the oen where he has a hound` is it?
-[02:45] <Dakarai> And they are super^ effective against them. :P
-[02:45] <Fracture>  and thre's ledges?
-[02:45] <Dakarai> (Magneton has a 4x weakness to ground.)
-[02:45] <Dakarai> (...even though it levitates. :P Hurhur.)
-[02:46] <Dakarai> (=> NOT IN SEHTO. lolwut)
-[02:48] <Fracture> I'll rp anyone you need me to :)
-[02:49] * Dakarai is informing herself.
-[02:59] <Dakarai> Keith is a jerk.
-[02:59] <Fracture> Oh?
-[02:59] <Dakarai> His gym is wonderfully set out to forcing the opponent to use the exact same type of pokémon.
-[02:59] <Dakarai> Fire and electric.
-[02:59] <Fracture> *chuckles*
-[02:59] <Dakarai> Everything else is going to get pounded.
-[03:00] <Dakarai> And his Magneton doesn't help fix the imbalance.
-[03:03] <Dakarai> Hm.
-[03:04] <Dakarai> I see heavy use of Incision on basis that it'll be the only FLYING type pokémon (which he'll need to avoid plummeting to fucking death in the canyon) that isn't ridiculously weak to everything.
-[03:05] <Fracture> *nods a bit.*
-[03:05] <Dakarai> He planned for Fenrir and Fafnir (Houndoom and Tyranitar), but Fafnir is entirely unworkable in the environment.
-[03:05] <Dakarai> Fenrir will go in.
-[03:06] <Dakarai> Soot (his Muk) might go in, on basis that it's deliciously sticky and hard to knock down.
-[03:06] <Dakarai> And isn't weak against anything Keith will likely throw at it, in particular.
-[03:08] <Dakarai> For Keith, it'll probably be an electric-centric battle: Raichu, Flareon, Magneton, Ampharos.
-[03:12] <Fracture> Okay
-[03:12] <Dakarai> For Dakarai...
-[03:13] <Dakarai> Soot [Muk], Fenrir [Houndoom], Incision [Skarmory], Dawn [Coronav]
-[03:13] <Dakarai> Dawn, though best suited, will come out last.
-[03:18] <Dakarai> M'kay, so, you can be a buddy of Keith's, too, it turns out. ;)
-[03:18] <Fracture> *peer*
-[03:19] <Dakarai> Or one or several of the pokémon. Or all. :P
-[03:19] <Dakarai> Except Incision and the Raichu, it's fair game.
-[03:19] <Fracture> *nods and chuckles* All right
-[03:22] <Dakarai> Keith is abrasive at worst of times.
-[03:22] <Fracture> Damn shame that
-[03:22] <Dakarai> Charismatic as fuck, yes, but dear god, if you're not on eye level with his ideals, you're fucked.
-[04:37] <Dakarai> By the way, Keith wouldn't command his Flareon to BITE. Let me see what he would do.
-[04:37] <Dakarai> (It's stupid. Dark is regenerative to Dark in Sehto.)
-[04:37] <Fracture> *facefaults* I'd forgot
-[04:37] <Dakarai> QUICK ATTACK
-[04:37] <Dakarai> Or SMOG
-[19:48] <Dakarai> He has to pass through Kethi to get to Kzye, yes.
-[19:48] <Fracture> and pyu ivvi before that?
-[19:48] <Dakarai> He has to pass through Pyu Ivvi between Nightclaw and Ehqaj.
-[23:09] <Dakarai> Of course, I worked out Dakarai slept in Nahla, so he'll be on the move by the time he comes to Njoty - he might take a brief detour to his home, but it's a very small timeframe window.
-[01:13] <Nemesis> *smacks her face off her desk* No-one knows of course (apart from the Gymleaders) what goes on at *forces calm*  Taqnateh. And I know trainers are thought very little of. To some-one not doing the G.C and not having any interest in doing so somebody that was would be thought of as mad and everything right?
-[01:13] <Nemesis> with probable rumours going round of injuries and stuff happening to folk doing it?
-[01:14] <Dakarai> Somewhere between a parasite and a bum - though with the speed Dakarai is progressing, even sceptics would likely not want to use those words.
-[01:14] <Dakarai> Those rumours don't go far.
-[01:14] <Dakarai> Because they just don't interest most people.
-[01:14] <Nemesis> What I'm tryign to ask is: Is it too absurd for a non-trainer to call a trainer absolutely nucking futs? :D
-[01:14] <Nemesis> Ok :)
-[01:16] <Nemesis> *eyes what she has and ponders*
-[01:17] <Dakarai> It's Dakarai. He gets gratis nucking futs points even without the gym circuit.
-[23:33] <Dread> (1) Keith would have offered the guys a place to sleep for the night. Would Nikki have accepted, or would she, at that point, have been long gone?
-[00:32] <Yarver> Ehqaj+Rose is grass/water.
-[00:33] <Yarver> Kzye+Keith is electric/fire.
-[00:33] <Yarver> Nightclaw+Naomi is dark/steel.
-[22:33] <Ixchel> How old iis Rose would you say?
-[22:33] <Ixchel> about my rl age?
-[22:33] <Ixchel> *is
-[22:35] * Dread told you in the last RP. 'tween Nikki's and Catherine's age, squat in the middle.
-[22:35] <Ixchel> I know but I'm not sure - or can't remember -  how old Catherine is.
-[22:37] <Dread> Young for your IC self's mum, but, well, old enough to be a mum. ^_~ Approx' 40.
-[23:07] <Fracture> she's not that old is she? :)
-[23:07] <Dakarai> Rose?
-[23:07] <Fracture> nod*
-[23:08] <Dakarai> She has a daughter who's old enough to walk around Sehto, of course she's fairly old.
-[20:22] <Dread> Hehe, Cecile FTW. "If you go to Taqnateh, which, by the way, I don't recommend, I'll be there and see how you do, lovelies." ;D
-[03:32] <Nemesis> Was she single when Marcus went round last time?
-[03:32] <Dread> Cecile? Yes. Still is.
-[01:11] <Dread> Oh, Re: Sehto... I forgot to recap that Terry gave the group the Flash HM.
-[02:02] * Taika{Learning} wonders who predated Tove and Naomi.
-[19:48] <Dakarai> He has to pass through Pyu Ivvi between Nightclaw and Ehqaj.
-[19:49] <Fracture> IHmm.
-[19:49] <Fracture> skip to Rose's palce then maybe? :)
-[19:49] <Fracture> *hugs*
-[19:49] <Dakarai> It's such a shame Tove isn't in Pyu Ivvi yet, or your inquiry would've so made me say, let's do it, hehe.
-<Yarver> "Five klick radius around the gym, one hour; if we catch you, you lose, if you survive the hour - proverbially speaking, of course - you win. You and... Obsidian, is it? Versus myself an Amaranth. Whatever happens, we meet back at the gym in an hour."
+GABA is used at the great majority of fast inhibitory synapses in virtually every part of the brain. Many sedative/tranquilizing drugs act by enhancing the effects of GABA. Correspondingly glycine is the inhibitory transmitter in the spinal cord.
+Acetylcholine is distinguished as the transmitter at the neuromuscular junction connecting motor nerves to muscles. The paralytic arrow-poison curare acts by blocking transmission at these synapses. Acetylcholine also operates in many regions of the brain, but using different types of receptors, including nicotinic and muscarinic receptors.[9] (==  Curare was used as a paralyzing poison by South American indigenous people. The prey was shot by arrows or blowgun darts dipped in curare, leading to asphyxiation owing to the inability of the victim's respiratory muscles to contract. The word curare is derived from wurari, from the Carib language of the Macusi Indians of Guyana.[2])
-[01:53] <Yarver> So, first gymleader: Cecile Madhukar. She is, if you so want, a bit of a sceptic, in general, but friendly. She takes charge of things when they get out of hand, naturally. E.g. she will break up fights between people. Bug/Poison are her types. She spends most of her time helping with bug pokémon research. Her gym's in a research station of that sort, even.
+Refs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_human_hormones and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter
-[01:54] <Yarver> She's cool with Jagdish, though she rarely gets to see him. She mistrusts Dakarai, but there's no hate there - just that plain ol' scepticism.
-[01:56] <Yarver> Terry Kiran, Nahla City. Rock/ground. He has a bitter, spikey personality, and he's very much bent on destruction. His gym is meant to teach people that pokémon can die in battle, too. :P He typically delivers. He's a bit of a hermit and prefers alone time to people time, because he finds them at large unbearably stupid. Not that he ever says this to their faces.
-[01:56] <Lizatron> Ouch, but delish
-[01:56] <Yarver> He doesn't have an issue with Dakarai, personally, though he is just as brash with him as with others. :P He is, though, utterly terrified of Jagdish, who's probably the only person he thoroughly respects.
-[01:58] <Yarver> (He keeps his grouch in check in regards to the other gymleaders, I should add.)
-[01:59] <Yarver> Naomi Charna, Nightclaw. She's very polite to everyone, in a very practised sort of way, and no one can really see through to her core, which is really not much better than Terry's - she loathes pokémon trainers at large, and it shows in one aspect, and one aspect only... Dakarai. She openly hates him, because he 'cheated death', and she feels he's been given special treatment he doesn't deserve in being allowed to live. Like Cecile, she's cool with Jagdish.
-[02:00] <Yarver> She's genuinely friendly to scientists and other non-trainer types, mind.
-[02:02] <Yarver> Tove Zipporah. Youngest of the gymleaders. Flying/Dragon, Pyu Ivvi. She's a pleasant, curious individual, who is something of an outcast in Pyu Ivvi, being considered oddball and thus not really being trusted by anyone. That has given her a lot of patience and understanding, because she's had to deal with it, and now she does. "They're just like that," is her mindset these days.
-[02:03] <Yarver> She digs Dakarai much like we do. :P And she digs Yarver a bit more, and Jagdish even further. Mostly platonically, though, except Yarver.
-[02:04] <Lizatron> Hahah
-[02:05] <Yarver> Rose Kaiki, oldest of the gymleaders (...well... uh; for the sake of argument). Water/Grass. Very motherly, very warm, very down-to-earth, hands-on, charity kind of <s>girl</s> lady. Always busy, workaholic style.
-[02:06] <Yarver> Ehqaj City, before I forget to mention it. She's quite neutral toward the whole conflict Jagdish is on about, despite formally subscribing to it. She doesn't really know Dakarai, though she'd not have an issue with him if she did; she's probably want to protect the boy, hehe.
-[02:06] <Yarver> Relationship with Jagdish is a bit strained at times, because she questions stuff; but always ends in acceptance.
-[02:08] <Yarver> Keith Sirius, Kzye City. Fire/Electric. Jovial, in a creepy way. Will smile constantly, unsettling everyone, especially since his eyes glitter in that kind of predatory way. Pure sense of humour, basically, but a dark, biting, cynical one. Very vicious and mischievous, all in one go.
-[02:09] <Yarver> Is Dakarai's buddy, really. Is Jagdish's buddy, too, or aspires to it (rarely gets to see him). Generally, likes being the friend of the people that matter.
-[02:10] <Yarver> Yarver Bakema, Vale. Normal/Fighting. Very analytic. Actually, let me paste you what I wrote for sehto.pinkgothic.com
-[02:10] <Yarver> Carrying with him a constant, slight air of bitterness, as if he had just barely transitioned from an experienced realism over to light pessimism, Yarver does not really come across as someone with much of a sense of humour. He takes very much of the world seriously - but equally, even though he rarely laughs about jokes, he is almost never offended by people's antics.
-[02:13] <Yarver> And you know Jagdish.
-[02:13] <Yarver> Well, sortofkindof.
-[02:13] <Yarver> Any of those, in their outlines, strike you as interesting?
-[02:15] <Yarver> (Yarver likes making Dakarai his bitch, by the way, simply because he likes testing the boy's limits in regards to his loyalty to the whole thing. It started as an amused sort of test with results that surprised him, been something of a tradition ever since.)
-[02:15] <Lizatron> Keith, most definitely, along with Tove and Terry as close seconds
-[02:16] <Yarver> (And he's basically considered Jagdish's second in command, and they meet up frequently down in Vale to talk about things. He's as close to 'Jagdish's buddy' as it gets.)
