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

[Lord Windos]

Of course, the easy solution is to tell him the most important part about that secret: that it has something to do with bringing down Almanac.  But that could be a bit of a stretch, understandably.  It would, however, conclude everything that's causing problems since he'd finally know why.  And 'why' is a pretty important word for him on just about everything.

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.

Eh, nope. I definitely prefer NOT to involve Nathan into my secret mission about infiltrationg The Almanac AT ALL, nor even hinting it has to do with them, for various reasons. (You heard this as well, @Iron? I feel it's plotrelevant, after all.) That mission feels like it's my personal thing and I enjoy this secret mission way too much to share it with any other party member. I feel like it's a perfect customized sideplot for my character. In-character, involving someone else in it would give Shiva a feeling of being plain and greatly underestimated and would cause her to become very bitter against the others. I wished for my character to develop some more self-confidence during the campaign, and I'm thankful to GM for granting me such a great opportunity. Involving someone else would likely prevent this from happening, even if that person would simply knows about the mission. Ventus knows, but I trust he's smart enough to not to intervene unasked.

Doesn't matter in what way, but I don't want Nathan to know anything about it, neither through telling it through a Porygon2 or anything - (telling is telling, no matter it's not a person). Sorry for this, but that's the way it is and you have to deal with it please.

Phantom, I'm tired of this. Plain and simple. Is Shiva's self worth more important the friendship of Nathan? To me, it's not. I always thought that this secret mission was just nonsense that was going to cause problems, and eve since Kirkland has evolved, it has. Our characters have been at each other's throats over this, all because they can't fucking be trusted to just be in the know and not blooody interfere.  I'm also tired of my character being at odds at Dragonstrikes. You know, I wanted to bring up Hounour so that Ventus could just accept that he has it, and let the matter go, all because I thought it would be great character development AFTER he almost died from the nightmare suddenly collapsing on them all.He clearly has his vendettas and phobia, but he should NEVER let them interfere with his friendship. Otherwise, he'll end up like Sans...

Basically, even though I like drama in the story, and that Ventus being a bezerker is a part of his character, I'm willing to tone that down or adjust it so that it does not create lasting harm for the group. Heck, I even retconed and decided against my character initial murder of Rattatta because of the fact that the whole deal was going to rapidly spiral out of control if preventive measures were not enforced. At this point, the Daycare mission has literally torn the group apart, all because we can't just Znathan know the tiniest bit of info, especially the bits concerning Kirlia's evo. @Iron, I'm asking for this whole business to just be thrown out into the open soon. I hate it when everyone is at odds with one another, and this is causing discord or more.

If something isn't done soon, or we can't come to an accord on the matter, then I have to use my own judgement and just 'let' Nathan find out about this, one way or another.
