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

[Lord Windos]

The latter would make me incredibly sad and take away a lot of fun of the campaign for me. :C RIP Vishnu-OTP and hello broken Shiva.

Windos, please just screw everything and leave the dog to Nathan, you made your point clear more than once that you hate the dog. Ventus does not have to repeat this everytime he sees the dog.

........*Sighs* Alright, dear, I'll do it for you. That just means Ventus will be have to pretend that Nathan/Orthros doesn't exist at all when they are together, unless he needs to talk to them about something (Like buying Honey) or have to work together on urgent business.

The only way I see thing becoming stable is if Ventus stops directing his anger/wrath towards Nathan/Orthros, but choose to totally ignore/avoid interacting with them at all while Orthros is out and a little while after, and let Shiva do the talking/interacting in his stead.

This sounds very fine for me. People, the relationship between Nathan and Ventus is soft-destroyed already, why bother using many pages of Game+Meta Thread that we could use otherwise trying to increase/save it when it easily gets cracked in no time again?

Thank you, I greatly appreciate this. *hugs in delight, but the delight drags a shadow of melancholy behind*
If you're really fine with that, let us two go with that if @Dragonstrike can handle this as well (why actually not, Dragon? I find this the better call than being plaqued with passive aggression). I'm sorry that such a thing has developed, but...

[Iron]

I'm not sure if I explained this properly the first time, Dragon, but Ditto gains the moves a visible Pokemon knows, not necessarily the entire level-up movelist. It sounds like you already know this but I just wanted to be clear. (Basically the way Transform works in the handheld game, except we can learn more than four moves).

If Lucifer Tailwinds the Metagross, it won't cause any issues. You just won't benefit from it personally. You won't fall off or anything.

[Lord Windos]

As the sun sets, you arrive within sight of the farthest spire of the Great Divide. The Metagross halt, unsure just where to go. When Nathan pulls out the image of the clay Tusk, he spots a perfect match! That farthest spire has a curving, pointed tip - and it's the only mountain here not frosted over at the tip. Instead, it is bare red dirt.

I'm curious as to what that actually looks like IRL, Iron. Have any pictures of refrence to show us?

Also, would we have to travel through the night to reach the location, or is it close enough the we can get to the base of the spire and set up camp there for the night?

[Iron]

It's only a couple kilometers away, no problem getting to it.


The spire is something like the Bear's Tooth:

But imagine it's the red color of clay at the tip.

[Lord Windos]

Well, in that case, do we make a journey to the base of the Spire and try to find a campsite, or order our Metagross to descend into either the desert or savannah and most likely have an easier time finding a camping spot?

[Dragonstrike]

I'm fine with Ventus sorta ignoring Orthros when he's out, but I do not want that to be a permanent thing.  As a temporary solution, that's fine.  There's no good reason to burn one side of the bridge forever when there's pieces in place to repair it.

Dragon, do allow me to ask a thing. Why can't Nathan seem to accept that me and Windos in-chara don't enjoy Orthros and prefer to keep our distance for good reasons, and let us be instead of asking to bend for your sake?

No, plain and simple. Dragonstrike, you have to accept that Ventus is NEVER going to like Orthros all that much or be that friendly/tolerant to it besides either ignoring it/Nathan outright, or highly grudging acceptance. He's not budging on his POV on the dog bar, again, monumental effort on its and your character's part, or some sort of miracle situation that somehow endears it to him.

I'm willing to make it so that Ven doesn't trying glaring it to death or being openly menacing, or tone down his hatred from hot to cold, but I'm drawing the line right there, since him acting friendly towards it is just not possible with his current mindset and beliefs about it.
