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

[Spiritmon]

Yes it can be done. Just give me a minute.

.....Mate, I'm suddenly find myself a little more anxious this, as turning down Shiva's help (who's practically the defacto Group's heart/mediator) to solo it sounds like not only a bad idea, but suspicious too. An explaination of what you are hoping to achieve alone that couldn't be solved with her would helped ally that paranoid inkling, however. Otherwise, I might just have Ventus join in handling the problem if Shiva declines to join in, even if it goes against mine and yours plan....

Valder can be there too just so no 'funny business' can happen if that's what you're concerned about.  And I don't plan for Nathan to start anything.  Ralts is gonna be doing a lot of what I'm planning, actually.  That should be a good way to start things off...

At the very least, I want to send Raphael along with you and have some form of influence/therapy amplifier, and maybe give them some more screen time via either my control, Irons, or some sort of split between us. At the very least their presence can't do any harm, so why not have them on hand?

Guys, before we move on with this Scene, I'd like to ask Spiritmon again if he can't possible delay his character's breakdown until AFTER the next set of Encounters are brought up, and if they don't do that then I'd ask that we get Phantom's input on whether or not they want to join in to help. I rather not either lock everyone in or out stuff if at all possible, so some input would be nice....

I really would prefer Nathan (with Valder possibly in the background) taking this on.  It hopefully shouldn't take long, and it can potentially improve/develop things for Heart and/or Nathan.

Plus, I kinda just want to get this done and dusted so we can move on without delaying things.

That's fine.  Go ahead and have him join Nathan and company.

Mucho gusto, mi amigo! Now I can stop worrying about having to get Ven involved or not! Of course, with Heart delaying things at my request, you'll have to modify your post so that it can account for this. Simplest solution would be to have the therapy session in a flashforward of some sort, but that is only my suggestion!

[Dragonstrike]

Hmmm...here's an idea.  Now I can potentially try to PREVENT the breakdown from occurring since it's being delayed. That sound like a good idea to you guys? There is technically time between encounters that it could be done, after all...

I'd still want Nathan to handle it personally, but I could modify things to have him ask for Raphael's help too.

THAT idea has my full and complete support, as preventing damage from happening in the first place is FAR better than recovering from it in most cases! Having them ask for Raphael's aid too would make it less akward for me and Nathan, as I don't have to contrive a reason for them to intrude on the therapy in an organic manner!

[Spiritmon]

If you guys think its the best aproach, feel free to try. Also, gonna go to the bed now. Have some things to do tomorrow. See you soon!

@Spiritmon @Lord Windos

Alright, I've edited my post as appropriate to account for Heart's arrival when everyone regroups.  With Ralts pulling the strings of that conversation for the most part, I think things should go okay.

We can flashback to it if necessary.

Dafaque are you people doing and deciding when I'm not there K, after a bit of update-reading I'll simply throw in my two cents and then keep silent again in order to move on, adapting to things instead of being adamant.

First, and do forgive me... But I'd completely disagree that Heart is soft-prevented on both some sort of breakdown that's both interesting and surely important for chara-development/getting to know him further, as well as the Nuzleaf being brought to us others - while it surely leads to problems, these are problems than be solved and at least soothed by us if handled carefully, and somehow everyone in the party is currently dealing with problems. It happening in a flashforward though would be very fine and easy. Plus it beraves me of a chance to obtain that pink petal from him. Yena tasting fresh meat of the Pokemon that before already messed with Shiva for the first time was a nice side effect and a cool scene, especially since they're already dead, so she won't have much of a problem feeding them. Won't happen though now, and that's actually half-okay, but now anything that leads to the handing of the Gracidea Petal can't happen as how is Shiva supposed to know Heart met Nuzleaf, and how is he supposed to know that she collects these?

EDIT: Ah, Spirit, you mentioned Nuzleaf. That is appreciated and thankfully noticed, when there's an opportunity Shiva WILL ask you about them. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but it'll come one day or the other. Meanwhile, please keep that petal and do not loose it please, okay?


Next, somehow I'm anxious about Nathan dealing with Heart alone/help him out/prevent him from breaking for reasons, but if you want to use that so try mend some thing, by all means do so and I'll keep out, more forced than on free will, but it's too late to change anything anyway, so I'm completely fine with it.

Thanks for both remembering my niche as the heart/peacemaker of the group and that I usually react unfavourably when getting the feeling of being left out, it earned you a *smoooch* before I leap off into GameThread. Onwards.
