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

[Lord Windos]

This only really happened because while Nathan promised Shiva he wouldn't ask her about it any more, he hadn't said the same about Ventus.

Forcing the truth out of Kirlia isn't going to happen.  He'd feel too guilty about that.  If Kirlia were to tell him willingly to spare him further pain, maybe, but that's up to Iron (and Phantom?), not me.  And it would also beg the question of how Kirlia would communicate it in the first place if he did...

Giving up on the matter...he might stop trying, but that doesn't mean he'll forgive and forget if he does.

Unfortunately, there is still the matter of how betrayed he feels as well...whatever the big secret is, he just doesn't understand why his friends can't seem to trust him enough to tell him...well, anything about it, really.  That's going to take awhile to repair fully...though he'll try and fix as much of it as he can before he attempts to face Ventus and Shiva again...he doesn't want to completely explode in front of them, after all...

So,  Nathan's not only furious about being kept out of the loop, but being denied his last recourse for some actual answer? I can understand now just why he reacted in the manner he did. Having your last recourse yanked away would hurt , no matter how gentle the removal might be.

Ven would love nothing more than to bring Nathan in a the secret, if to just make him feel better about all the pain he's been out through, but he'd end up breaking his promise to Shiva, causing a whole new pile of trust issues to deal with. The lesser of two evils is simply let Nathan remain ignorant and maintain the Viterolic Friendship they just are just in love with. 

If you want to be scevy, though , there is this plan: you could just have Nathan send Porygon 2 to ask for answers, Ventus could happily tell it (Its not a person, so he's not breaking his agreement!), and it could just compose and email/text file with the relevant information and give it to Nathan itself, along with a postscript that tells him not to let on about knowing the secret. Ven gets to keep technically 'keep' the secret, and Nathan is let into the loop!

...The fact that I'm coming up with covuluted ways to break Ven's oath with Shiva really says how much I dislike this whole secret thing to begin with. I thought it was a bolucks idea, and it's done no good beside trigger Kirlia's evo.
