[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Nathan's still rather quiet and sullen as...nobody comes to the agreed meeting spot...oh...well, that doesn't help matters much...now he's feeling particularly left out...well, it was almost certainly partly his fault, but...*sigh*...welp, guess he could do a little walking and thinking in the meantime...try and shake off that exhaustion from the training...(second encounter slot is doing a whole lot of nothin' since everyone else is busy elsewhere)

And the effects of that walk carry over to encounter slot three.  He's still quiet when everyone finally returns, but he's not quite as icily moody as before, what with Kirlia's various attempts at cheering him up, though he still doesn't feel like talking with Ventus.  It'll also be much harder for Ventus to notice Nathan's feeling a little tired now since he had some time to recompose himself.  

But he's still not paying too much attention to what's going on around him, so he doesn't notice that there's a backpack just sitting in the middle of the road for some reason...causing him to trip over it!

"Ow...what the...wait, where'd everyone go?  And what the heck did I just trip over?"

Kirlia's pretty quick to help him get back up and point out the very, very obvious backpack right in the middle of the pathway.

"Oh...guess someone dropped that or something...wonder what's inside..."
