[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Ven has a special meaning to you, right?

Raphael nods vigorously. He scrunches down, kind of curls up into a feathery ball, then pantomimes breaking out of an egg and tottering around as a Togepi.

How...do you think of him?

He smiles, but with a tiny hint of sadness in the smile. When Shiva catches this, he quickly changes his expression to one of determination. Even curls a wingtip like a human might curl a fist when dedicating themselves to a cause.

Seems like Raphael does have some reservations about Ventus, but is determined to work through them for whatever purpose he felt as an Egg.

Good question there, Heart. Patrat leads you over to a ledge that seems to be the Weavile's nest. There, you find an oozing pile of green goo and a deflated membrane with a piece of metal sticking through it - the corpse of a Solosis.

Heart was worrying about that thing. Patrat look too. "This not good. The Scimitars is dangerous close to us. If that Solosis come that close..." Then Heart look to the Patrats. "That Solosis is spy's of a group of evil human mages called the Scimitars. They are trying to find a place called Aetherium or Secret Library who exist here in Mt. Sentry. We are trying to stop whatever they are planning in use that place. They....branwas brain these Solosis, make them dolls without emotions or will."

"We are trying to stop them. And trying to figure out a way to get these Solosis back to normal...but we don't know if any other Pokemon received this brainwashing. I would like to ask you something brave Patrats: Please, you must warn any Pokemon who lives here in Mt. Sentry. We can't let any other pokemon be damaged because of them. And if possible warn to avoid them whatever possible. And any information about the library."

(These actions from Raphael look 1/4 weird, and 3/4 a mixture of incredibly cute and hilarious in my imaginary.)


Naturally Shiva does understand immediately what he means. In fact, she can clearly remember him being a tiny Togepi. So small, cute and innocent - all the happiness needed to become what he was now, a sharer of joy and a powerhouse of a pidgeon, had yet to accumulate in his shell. "Yes, that's a good reason to hold him a special person. I do remember you as a tiny Togepi, maybe you do remember you as well! Back then, at Professor Mallorn's lab. Back then, we had no idea how to battle. Derp..... Eh, anyway, now we have something in common!~ Because, I too carry a special meaning for him. In a different context though. I don't know whether you noticed." She shrugs. Honestly, she doesn't know, but if Raphael knows or cottoned on on things, that's very fine. Raphael receives more strokes over his neck, head feathers and cheek, she's greatly enjoying the texture of his feathers.

However.... This instant sadness intrigues her, MUCH. Has something....happened between Ven and this precious Fairy Type? Not in this context however, she knows he holds no reservations for his own Pokemon, regardless of phobia of this Type. But Shiva does know that Togekiss are usually very chipper, happy and calming Pokemon when raised correctly, no sadness, and by all means not against the beloved caretaker.

If she had to guess, Shiva would blame the darker sides of the oddball of sociologist, those she has already seen. She's curious....but she won't ask questions (mostly because I don't want to tear open wounds and find out that Ven destroyed the den of my magical fox, that wonderful friendship they've built up that eventually became love would suffer.)

All the Patrat salute Heart, then salute the giant guardian fern. They don't look too worried!

"But you should. They are able to use powers even without using Pokemon. And they will not avoid in kill whatever is in their way." Heart then look the corpse of Solosis then think again. "Could I take a look in that Solosis corpse?"

If they say yes @Iron, Insight+Knowledge+Alert to noticed anything. And check the machine that Solosis have use.

[Iron]

You don't notice anything about the corpse. The machine is the same as the one Nathan fried - this one is still functioning, you'd say, but without being attached to a living Pokemon you're not sure if it'd work.

The Weavile and Patrat don't seem to care about the corpse or the machine at all.

Heart decided to break the machine in pieces. Never know if the machine have some sort of GPC or something. "Patrat. Let's destroy this machine. We don't know if the Scimitars can follow through this thing. Seed Bomb now!"

[Iron]

Bzzt! FrzzzzkREEE blip. The machine fries as you break it into little pieces.

[Spiritmon]

Bzzt! FrzzzzkREEE blip. The machine fries as you break it into little pieces.

After destroyed the machine, Heart decided to take what remain from the pieces. "Gonna send this pieces to Dagny after we done here. She might know something. Patrats and Weavile, are you guys by chance know the way to Aetherium or Secret Library?"

[Iron]

Nah, they've never heard of it.
