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

[Lord Windos]

Umm....Typically, Valuable Items are just things whose only purpose is to be later sold/bartered away for Poke/other Items, so it's not necessarily a hidden gem as you might think. If you want that sort of Item, Spira/someone else is better off investigating the Trainer Items(s) ? or the Useful Items, as those are likely going to help in battle scenarios.

Outta-chara, I will, because the headache's not worth it and I managed to distract myself nicely from it the past few hours. In-chara, I'd still be allowed to react and behave appropriately, am I?

As long as you're not bullying. Don't fight about it, it's so boring and I want to move on with plot stuff.

Now is your chance Dragonstrike. Begin some conversation with our chars.

@Lord Windos, @Spiritmon, as much as I'd like to help with those encounters, already thought of an IC reason for Spira to be taking on the Burmy.

I won't, that'd be cheap, and you have the right to tell me if it's getting too much or annoys you. All I'd want is Shiva somewhat distancing herself from Nathan for a while, closing her mind so to say to not let anything get to her head. Not obviously like Heart shows neither in a heated outburst ala Ventus, she's not going to be unfriendly or rejecting, just...emotionally colder? She (or, edit, any character whether playable or NPC) should be allowed to express that she doesn't like being worked up with or made feel bad, and personality-wise she has grown enough by now that she shouldn't feel bad or timid about expressing displeasure her way.

Finding access to the Throne Room and fighting Deoxys all together as one group should break the ice, I guess. And hope.

Forgot to ask, but was my take on the moondoggo worth any XP? Just for complementary's sake.

Just for reference Phantom and Windos: Did Shiva and Terra notice the sparks of hostility Heart is giving towards Nathan? Is kinda oblivious by now, because he literally having peaks of fire around his body right now. Not enough to burn his clothes of course, but I think they would suspect something, even more Shiva since she is the most sensitive of the group. Its nothing much, but I kinda find strange no one have said anything IC?

Good question! Of course Shiva noticed and notices, and she knows what's causing this feelings of Heart because 1. she was there in person when that Sword-Issue's been discussed and handled and 2. her sensibility, obviously. It's so prominent that she just can't miss out on it.

I guess she herself just chooses to let you handle this between yourselves, and she doesn't wish to discuss with Nathan as she made the experience that this may most likely not lead anywhere and will only serve to frustrate her and partially me as well. Shiva WILL and CAN chip in if things get too heated, and Heart knows (or so I hope) that he can always come to her if he needs an open ear to listen. Or to vent, as I remember Heart already did that once towards her - I forgot what the matter was unfortunately, but what I remember is that Heart was rather pissed and upriles. Or if he needs advice hw to control his emotions.

Thoughts before bedtime: With Cosh having that hauberk already, I wonder which of the Scims will get the fourth one, that helmet? He, too? Can a person wield more than one Artfact? Can one person wield all the Artifacts, wouldn't that be unhealthy as these bond with the wielder with yet unknown consequences? I hope it'll be Arachnautilus to get that helmet because she's so capable and steadfast. :> Is she more than a human too? I wonder how her Omanyte evolved.

These are just rhetoric questions.

Nope! Terra's more or less completely oblivious towards the current feud between Nathan and Heart, partially because he missed it starting to begin with (I mentioned as such in the post proceed the new day), and partially because he hasn't been much paying attention to the pun lover, what with all the DANGER and mystical happenstance surrounding the Minarets keeping him distracted. Considering the fact that my chara would likely be extremely disappointed and upset at Heart being mean to Nathan for what he considers unjustifiable and unreasonable reasons, it's for the best he doesn't find out about it anytime soon.

Ya know, I totally agree with Iron that the conflict has gotten really boring.  Arguments amongst the party are fine and all for adding drama, but...I'm not playing this game to have arguments with other players.  The added drama is really pointless if it happens all the damn time.

Is it really so much to ask for everyone to get along for once?  I would hope not, tbh.  This isn't the kind of game where such arguments being so frequent is going to be a healthy thing for the game in the long run.
