[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

Phew...glad that's over with.  Still wondering about that Drowzee, but Nathan has another idea about why it might be there now that the group has actually met the queen.  It's probably not anything to worry about, either, as long as Vespiqueen doesn't view us as a threat.  Now, the next thing on the to-do list is the talk with Ventus...

Also, I quite like the idea of Nathan having a tiny little combee, strangely enough.  Not going to be worth a whole lot in the long term from a trainer standpoint, maybe, but there's plenty of RP reasons I can think of for Nathan to be the one who gets it.  Not sure if anyone else would be willing to spare the pokeball for it, either.

I would recommend holding off on the talks. Vespiqueen slammed one of his button hard , so talking to him right now would be liable for another explosion. You wouldn't believe how close he was to starting a fight with her after she let loose with the authority. Thank god for Ventus godly levels of self control....

I think Ventus will still be interested in what Nathan has to say.  The result of the combee feast discussion has...changed the topic of discussion somewhat, shall we say.  And Nathan's definitely not interested in picking a fight, either, which is a point he'll stress when he asks Ventus to join him for the talk.  The manner in which he asks it when they leave the hive might be the deciding factor in how Ventus reacts, even...

He'll be willing to talk; you just have to be very careful with your words. Ventus won't hurt you, but he might no be so forthcoming depending on how you approach him. He was this close to walk up to he and tearing her thought out with his bearing hands, so tread lightly.

Don't worry, I have a plan for how it will go.  Just need Iron to resolve the encounter in its entirety before we can start the talk.

I believe being an Empath may have it's benefits - I've read about those lately out of curiosity - but it definitely isn't always benefitial...

Look at what just happened to Ralts and Ventus, for example.  Shudders

Indeed. Though, I recommend you reword your post so that it isn't Valder that tries to watch me, though. Nylon posts only once or twice a day, so its possible that Iron might hold up the Combee Hive quest until he responds.

Yeah, being an Empath is a double edge sword. You get to feel, see, detect, and quite possible manipulate the emotions around you, but its a two way street as well. Bad Psychic and Fairy types could have a field day with untrained Empaths, but they would have hell to pay against savy ones.

Ventus had to deal with it his whole life, so he knows he to separate and bar outside emotions from affecting overly much. The Vespiqueen's majesty, however, nearly bulled him over until the anger kicked in. Yikes.

Well, there's a problem with that.  Nathan doesn't know if Zamboni wants to ask anything else of the queen, Nathan doesn't think Larry would be able to help very much (having only 1 pokemon that's injured and disobedient to boot is not helpful), Geodude is, well, a wild pokemon, the other two trainers and Zamboni's Delibird are in a completely different room and unaware of what's going on...Valder seems like the best guy for the job right now, unless Zamboni picked up on that rage and goes after Ventus himself instead of thinking about further inquiries.  Also, Valder is technically on auto right now since Nylon hasn't been on at all today (forum was down during his only opportunity to post today, I assume.  I found that downtime extremely annoying, myself.)

Made me angry as well, mate. At least I had a reason to visit the breeder's discord and got myself a good N-Nupin, and helped out a couple of people there~

Oh. If I knew, I would come over as well just to talk with you, but instead went to bed a little earlier.

Lol if you don't have self control around Vespiquen you get toasted.

I take it we're on day 5 now, then? First thing Nathan's going to do in that case is find Ventus. I can post a quick lead in to that in an hour or two.
