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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Hmmmm.... Specialized for training Water Type moves... Azurill might enjoy the Dojo there. Gotta visit it someday during stay in Corsage, once someone in-game tells me about it~

[Iron]

It can be either Hog Peanut or Hog Potato (two names for the same plant, Amphicarpaea bracteata).

That one?


Somewhat I'm enjoying their flowers.

Yep! And as you might expect, I have a photo from my own work, ready for when you guys reach the swamp.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Wheeeeee, I look forward to reach the Swamp then!
... Okay, not really because of bad memories my character has involving swamps on Route 1. I mostly look forward to that photo of yours. C:

(Amanita is actually the PC owner of Unova. She can sometimes be found in the Medal Office building. A mushroom name for your mother and father would be awesome though - what do you think of "Annula" and "Xanthodes"?)

Hmm, in my German versions of Gen.5-Games she's called Rubina, that's why I must have completely missed that. But I picked up that a class of fungi bears that name.
Nice names for her parents, although Annula has a slightly weird ring to me... I'd gladly take both, though! How interesting that they named their only child after a Hindu-God, then.

[Iron]

You have no idea how good of a pun this is.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Nope, before you pointed out, I had indeed no idea. But this makes the pun even better!
I had to dig a little deeper to find out that Xanthodes is not only a class of moths.

That settles both names! <3 Although we might never see her parents in-game in-person.

[Iron]

Ventus, you are welcome to run into Shiva on your way out of the dojo.

[Lord Windos]

I believe I will do so then, Iron! Would be a good chance for the researcher to try and reconnected with his friend, and get his Dark Glasses fixed too!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

@Lord Windos, feel free to do so!~ You'd have to call out for her though, she might not realise you otherwise.

I wonder how Ven will react to seeing her all dressed in black attire and a purple shard wearing as a necklace. Gotta match the gloomy town, after all! I believe black brings out the natural grace in my character and makes her look older than she actually is, while her usual style is adorable and fairylike.

[Lord Windos]

You know, I really wanted to try and clear Ventus' name in Court, but remembering my spat with Iron over this issue way back in Winesberry town, I gave up such a crusade. If he's not even slightly convinced of my case for my chara, his NPC will certainly not be, no matter how much he tries to separate his thoughts and feelings from them. Unless we worked something out behind the scene that would give Ven a reasonable chance for success, it would just be a pointless slog of posts that would end with my chara paying off the debt anyway.

That, and I imagine that everyone being delayed by my court case would be irritating, to say the least.
