[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Hehe. The salt cicle did his job, it seemed. But still, the sleep Shiva did get this night wasn't very pleasant - while she couldn't remember being plaqued by another nightmarish dream this night, she still struggled to actually sleep in and through more than usually. Well, at least her Pokemon who have accepted the offer to sleep close to their owner seemed fine and eager to attend the next day.

Shiva took a while to sweep up the salt from the floor along usual morning routine. While doing so, she notiiced that there was something off about her Dream Catcher... There were no visible damage inflicted on it, but she felt something was definitely different about it. Yet she couldn't tell what and why. Maybe that furry black creature did pay her a nocturnal visit, but has been scared away by the salt circle...? Hmm. While the thought of such a creature was scary, Shiva could not deny that she was curious about the mysterious 'creature'... Maybe that's the reason why she nevertheless put on the black tuft of fur it left behind on the first night to wear it as a necklace hidden under her clothes once more before she went downstairs for breakfast in the Pokemon Center.

Once again she doubledosed on coffee. Hell, but she cannot do that for much longer, eventually she'll either become subliminally aggressive or plain catatonic because of a lack of a proper rest.

Eventually, she left the Pokemon Center in direction of the Aquarium filled with anticipation. Still dressed in a pitchblack goth-like dress, still wearing that shard of duskglass as a talisman, with Cottonee floating by her side and Azu close to her in her arms. The blue mouse was nesteled in her beloved top hat + equipped with her Soothe Bell and a flowercrown of wild roses, Shiva was hoping that the mouse would enjoy seeing some Water Types.

Indeed, Ven was waiting for her at the entrance of the Aquarium as promised and waved to her as he noticed her approaching! She quickly stepped by his side and gave him a slight smile. "Well, thanks for waiting for me! You waited for long? ... Ah, and before I forget..." She drew that Black Glasses he gave her yesterday from...somewhere, and handed them back to Ventus. In a fully repaired state. "It was good that you gave me the materials as well, otherwise I might not get it back together at all. Enjoy!~ Who will you give it to, which of you companions knows a Dark Type-move?"

Only now Shiva noticed that they weren't alone as she actually expected... Nathan was with them as well, with Staryu. Oh... Ven did not mention he'll tag along... Hmm. Well, so be it then, she won't let this ruin her trip to the Aquarium at all. In fact, she was delighted to see that the young battler seemed fine after she hadn't seen him for a whole day, and hoped to nevertheless get the chance to talk to Ven alone at some point without disturbance. "Greetings and good morning, Nathan. It's good to see you doing well! Because I was wondering a little where you ran off in this city..."
