[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Waking up for the day was unsurprisingly a painful experience, as his whole body ached and stung from his Scyther tender ministrations. Groaning quietly, he crawled out of Apsis clutches and got started with his early morning stretches, waking her up in the process. She sleeply arose from her coil position, giving her master a baleful eye. Why does master insist on walking up this early, especially with those injuries of his?

Noticing Apsis' grumpiness, he just chuckled a bit, before going over to where his satchel was. "Oh come now, Apsis, rising with the sun is not so terrible, is it now? We have more time to be productive, and which means more time for sun bathing and hunting," Ventus said, reaching into his bag and pulling out a storage Pokeball, which contained all the spare clothing he owned. Retrieving a new green tweed sweater and a pair of pants, he swiftly put them on before flicking his wrist to get Apsis' Pokeball. After promising he'll let her out in a few hours, he returned her and left the tent to great the early morning with a smile.

Having a quick breakfast and waiting for Nathan to wake up, both of them packed up the tent and swiftly resumed their journey. Upon Shiva rejoining the group later, he let out a sigh of relief, glad to see that she was safe and happy. 'Her treehouse visitation did wonders for her mood and attitude, thought I am just as joyous to she her in good wellbeing. I just hope nothing too bad happens in Wineberry town...' the researcher thought, not looking forward to any more conflict playing havoc with their lives. Drama is the spice of life, but too much is simply too much.

Fortunately for everyone, nothing bad happened on their way to town, and soon enough arrived there. The sight and sounds of seeing people peacefully coexisting together brought a warm smile to his face. 'Perhaps Team Plasma's goal wasn't a pipe dream, in the end,' Ventus though, gazing at the town's scenery until his sight caught hold of the Geneosect statue. His eyes widened when he saw it, and couldn't help but walk up and approach it. Placing a hand on its knee, the researcher couldn't help but stare at the legendary, a sort of bittersweet look crossing his face.

"We've both come a long way, or so it seems Geneosect. I hope the years have treated you fair and kindly, like it has for myself..." Ventus said, his speech trailing off as he lost himself to his memories. Moving his hand back to his side, the researcher wandered further into town, enjoying the atmosphere while also trying to find some work. He need cash for supplies, or he would not be getting very far!

Order: Search town for a temp time job for money, and to listen for any interesting news. This place has piped the researcher's interest quite a lot!
