[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Farfetch'd shakes its head. It looks a little bewildered to be talked to as friend rather than food. It does look very cold, though, even though it's about 40 degrees F (5 degrees C). Jacket weather, but not exactly winter either. Just cold enough for snow to stay on the ground.

Terra nods back to them, giving them a perhaps a surprisingly gentle smile for a man of his stature.

"Good. Happy that you are alright. No one will harm you here with us now. Promise."

He frowns when he notices the brown ducky began to shiver from the cold climes of the area, before he promptly stuck a hand into of his pant's many pockets (his other still Grappling Farfetch'd), rummaged around a bit, and pulled out what appeared to be a.......large green tweed sweater? Afterwards, he carefully put it on them if they let him, giving another nod of satisfaction as he finished.

"There. Got this sweater from......a friend. Will keep you warm here. Feel better now, Farfetch'd?"

That's much better, and triggers Farfetch'd's instinct to hunker down in a nest. Soon he's snug as a duck in a rug.

Delphox summons a Lucky Chant, wreathing the party in Earthpower and music.

Dizzy dutifully summons up a Future Sight, but he makes no move to run. Either you're out of danger, or you're so boned there's just nothing to be done!

Heart was lying in the ground, trying to find energy to stand up. "Could someone please kill me already? I already tired psychally and emotional after so much time travels. It was cool in the begining, but I just want to go home. To have some normal adventures once again." He hit his head in the ground. Dont seeing any choice, Heart stand up again. "Well? Any clue about where to go?"

Shiva's NOT calming down, every fibre of her body is worrying at full volume. She's shivering, breathing hitched, gazing around in mild paranoia as she faces the others of the group. "People... PEOPLE...! No more. Meteor, coming, will hit, Teazel Valley... Likely the place these Mightyena dwell? YES. Will we witness it? I'd guess so...?! A hint, something's with this place in our time. We NEED to get there fast once being back in our time, please... But, need to stay safe in the first place." Swiftly, she turns to her magical fox, then to Lilith, then Dizzy (in that order). "Delphox, my dear... Chant for me, chant for us, bring blessings of luck towards this area. Lilith, my dearest... Do you dare taking a gaze into the future? Will we indeed be here to witness this impact, maybe THAT'S what Celebi wishes to show us...! Though are away from the impact enough to remain relatively unharmed or are we better up to seek shelter? And you Dizzy, my companion... Can you see something by a Future Sight as well? Please, if you two can, tell me what you witness..."

In short, a Lucky Chant from Delphox and an asked Future Sight from Lilith and Dizzy. Mostly like to know whether we're in immediate danger from the expected impact or not.

*Flashback! (Since he'd address her woes before Farfetch'd's first)*

Dense as he was, Terra could easily recognize that Shiva was not taking being LURCHED! to the Ice Age or her own revelation that disaster was incoming in one form or another, and so marched right over, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, and pulled her into a hug, being careful not to squish Farfetch'd by doing so. Given she knew the moutanous man's reluctance for this form of physical affection, this was probably all the more shocking to her.

"Shiva? Shiva! Be calm. Everyone and everything is alright for now. Disaster has been.....fortold, but not come yet. We still have time to prepare. We all are strong. We are all.....capable. Can handle almost everything together. Me, Nathan, Heart, Spira, and you. Yes, you. So do not worry, Shiva. Have faith in us. Have faith in your Pokemon. Have faith in yourself. Understand?"

He said this all quietly, in a low but comforting tone as he did his best to diffuse her own volitile emotional distress, and hoping that his efforts bore fruit instead of not. Quite an inspirational, heartfelt speech from such a stoic man, eh? Whether that be surprising or not depends, but its clear he's getting better at picking up on everyone's mood/feelings, and reacting appropriately - however that may be.

Once that scene is done, he'll move on to Heart, Spira, and then the brown ducky, in no particular order.

*Flashback End....for now!*

That's much better, and triggers Farfetch'd's instinct to hunker down in a nest. Soon he's snug as a duck in a rug.

The rugged wanderer couldn't help but chuckle fondly at the sight of Farfetch'd making himself comfortable, and (if he lets him), gently carasses them on the head.

"*Nods* Better. ....Farfetch'd, I have a question for you. Do you.....want to become my partner? For now, at least? Promise to take good care of you and make you stronger, so you don't have to run away no more.  Find nice, safe home for you later if we...... have to part ways."

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Dizzy dutifully summons up a Future Sight, but he makes no move to run. Either you're out of danger, or you're so boned there's just nothing to be done!

....Oh noble and fluffy Reshiram up in the sky.

Well, Shiva's completely trusting Dizzy's instinct so if he doesn't express a need to get the heck away from here, Shiva will just stay here in Lilith's tight hug/Dizzy's+Rapidash's closure and warmth, enjoying to sense how the psychic energy is running through her nerves and veins. She also BLATANTLY hopes that it means that they are out of danger, as Shiva's definitely not yet ready to die: She hasn't properly said farewell to her parents and friends, hasn't witnessed her most dear fluffball evolve, hasn't had the chance to do all the sweet things with Ven if she gave him her consent, she could think of so many more things.

She'll simply gaze up to the sky into the same direction as Dizzy = the same the horde of Absol ran, becoming more afraid of this impact with every second that passes. Eventually she began to silently weep, which caused Cottonee to summon herself and join the cuddle session with force.

*Another Flashback!*

Terra wasted zero time in hoisting the collector onto his feet, using one hand to do the task and keep them steady as they regained their balance. Their joke earned them a small from him, before he *sighed* and shook his head, looking unbothered now.

"No. That would go against my duty. *Cracks a smile* Do not think your Ghosts want you to become that much closer to them, either. So live, my friend, and stay strong. We will return to future.....present......someday. Okay?"

He shrugged when asked for directions, before pointing off towards where Tezeal Valley would be someday.

"We continue to valley.....or where it will be. *Beat* Unless everyone want to go......somewhere else now?"

*Flashback End.....for now.....again!*

Farfetch'd nods. He's getting sleepy now, but he likes being in your arms like this.

Remember you'll experience the effects of Exhaustion if you continue journeying now.

Remember you'll experience the effects of Exhaustion if you continue journeying now.

No way would Shiva wish to start traveling now, least of all closer towards the small valley and expected place of meteor impact. There are also many many Mightyena exactly there, which I, eh...rather not want to say hello to. She's clearly showing that she doesn't want to leave the current position.

Windos, I might reply to Terra when I'm less tired, likely tomorrow in a flashback if I remember. I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling too well today and would rather find rest soon.

[Lord Windos]

Farfetch'd nods. He's getting sleepy now, but he likes being in your arms like this.

Well, guess Terra's has a Farfetch'd now! He'll use a Pokeball to catch them later, once they fully fall asleep. Don't want to startle them after they got so comfortable, after all!

Terra's all for making camp for the night/morning (and says so to everyone, once he realizes how tired he/everyone else is), but warns that watch shifts will have to be taken to ensure none of the wild beasts of this era decide to sneak up on the group to make a meal out of them (particularly the Mightyena, if they aren't picky about smaller prey). Naturally, he's the first to volunteer for it, with Melly and Angie (the later of which might not like the cold too much, given her reptilian status) serving as his secondary scouts/watch woman.
