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

[Spiritmon]

Sheesh. Nathan is really a jerk. Besides, he cheering for Nathan too remember? Besides, its there a sign saying: "Battle personal. No allowed people and comedians and Pokemon". Besides, he only watching, where the problem with that?

[Spiritmon]

Nathan have problem with audience or too much shy? Just asking.

Thing is, Nathan is INCREADILY unhinged right now, and its only his apathy and intense focus/determination to win this battle that is keeping him from suffering a Ventusian like episode of Unfettered Emotional Outrage, without the nameshake's Iron Grip Control over himself/his emotions. He's also know for having an incredibly short temper when it comes to things that do not meet or defy his given expectations, and even a shorter amount of patience for those that get on his nerves in a bad way. Add all that and the fact that he's inclined to dislike you for being 'nosey' (Even when its not your fault for doing so) and how he precieves you as 'grating' , and its a recipie for one hell of a backlash!

Of course, once the battle ends, Ven's probably going to make a beeline for Nathan to A) Make absolutely sure he's ok and B) Cut him off from getting retribution to Heart and/or being unnecessarily (In my character's opinion) mean to him. Ven has frankly had enough of the party being at odds with one another, and will take every non-extreme measure to prevent further argument happening while the Trio is in the middle of their own mire of conflict,. If it means that he once again becomes the target for Nate's raging ire once more....well, my character has built up a tolerance to it, and I hardly imagine the boy doing anything more drastic besides explosion/shunning.

If he DOES, though....well, that is what is Apsis is for. Hard to physically hurt someone when you are all Wrapped up, huh?

Nathan is a little shy around most people, yes, but most of the issue here is that Heart's been observing battles that Nathan feels weren't the business of any outsiders.

In better circumstances, Nathan would have let it slide for the most part.  Nathan's very unstable right now, though.  VERY unstable.  Cheering for Nathan or not, the cheer is mostly for his opponents, which certainly doesn't help.

It also doesn't help that the last time a stranger 'joined' the group, he ended up getting the entire group (except Nathan) in trouble with the Rangers.  And he also ran off with a Pinsirite he should have turned in to the authorities soon afterwards, and hasn't been seen since.

Be welcome in Shiva's world. She already saw enough with the party being at odds. Where are her meds again?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

@Spiritmon, I think it might be a good idea that once the battle ends, you'd just follow my character. Because she'll just go, away from Nathan as well as Ven if he decides to make sure he's okay, and won't desire to see them again during this in-game day if you'd ask her directly. She'll reenergize on her own way, she'll be friendly to you, and you can cheer as much as you like on what she'll do then, since she enjoys good audience, actually.

[Lord Windos]

About to head to class, so I won't be on for an hour and a half. See you then!

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Plusle is technically withdrawn of the fight, Iron, and is only out of his Pokeball because it'd be mean by Shiva to deny him watching this battle, cheer on Raphael for his good performance and being a source of delight for Shiva herself to stabilize her/prevent the suffocating athmosphere to get to her again. Sounds fair to me, it's not meant at all to silently benefit from the rodent. Dunno how this would be possible in this battle, anyway.

[Iron]

I agree.

[Dragonstrike]

Dunno how this would be possible in this battle, anyway.

It could technically benefit Michael if allowed, since he has HP recovery every round from his ability and item combination.  Another benefit/detriment could potentially be keeping any temporary stat boosts/debuffs accumulated.  

Though I find it funny that Iron used Ingrain as an example since the whole gimmick with Ingrain is you can't withdraw the pokemon or force them out while the move is active because they're literally rooted in place (though you can still Baton Pass it in the games, switch out using the effects of your own move or item, and switch if you're holding a Shed Shell or are a Ghost type).
