[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

It took a little, but soon enough things were better, Ven's emotional support surely helped. Good and calm enough to concentrate on what they are actually down here: These Water Scimitars. And possibly Silverfish.

Whipping off some last gloom, she gave him a thankful and heartfelt smile - which he cannot see, lol - before: "Fine... So be it then, I believe. With him walking down the one path I had in mind, what now? You and Valder want to head down the other path then? I'll leave the decision to you."


(In case, what has happenend to that rustling on that path, Iron? Still there? Gone? ...Increased?)

"I honestly didn't care about which path we went down first, as we would have eventually explored this whole Kyurem damn to fully investigate and root out all these vile Scimitars. Since Nathan is choosing to behave....independently, though, let him go the path marked by the Skulls, while we go follow the path of Noise. Even if we are not all working together now and doing the worst possible thing in here, splitting up, at the very least it will make conducting this search and destroy mission of ours much more expedient. Valder, come with us now. I have $500 Poke with your name on it if you need anymore incentive, but I hope that is not the case," Ventus responded, just about to lead Shiva and the rest of the group down the other way...before Nathan interrupted them with another speech. The researcher listen very, very carefully once more, his mind racing as he reviewed everything Nate said and comparing it with his own knowledge of this entire big picture and all its finer details, before he slightly picked up the Burn Drive on the ground (Which was helped by Swiftfire's light, as reluctant as he was to acknowledge that fact), and walked forward to be in front of the young trainer once more, looking quite a bit weary himself from this whole meltdown between them.

"Your descisions surprise me not because of what I don't know or forgot about, but because you acted so boldly twice- once with the button and another time with Swiftfire- without telling us and discussing you designs. Even a warning would have sufficed, as that would show us at least you had the foresight to tell us so that we could prepare ourselves for the outcome, whatever it may be. You have these plans of yours, my friend, but they do us no good if you don't inform us about them. It not that I doubt your intelligence in formulating plans, or think you are totally ignorant in a situation like this, but your recent actions have proved remarkably uninsightful to the both of us," the empath says, before he launched into the next part of his speech before Nathan had that chance to speak out about it.

" However, I can fully understand why you choose to close the entrance so soon now, as I honestly don't want Silverfish to fall into EITHER government's hands, and just want to set them free from the Scimitars if they have overpowered and captured them to use in their own nefarious ends. At the very least, I want to find out whether or not Silverfish has been involved with those wizards or their schemes, and take measures to ensure that all their efforts amount to naught. We are both share the same mind on this matter. I just wish you had phrased your words better, as to both me and Shiva it seemed like you were attacking me with them. I...apologize for lashing out at you for this misunderstanding, but that does not invalidate the meaning my words have towards you. I hope you keep what I said in mind before you carelessly bring up either Genesect of the Rangers up again, as neither of us need to fight over the Legendary's wellbeing or SHOULD, for that matter. Just...for now on, please just explain you plans to us first, and/or clarify the details/intent of your actions whenever possible, so that we are not constantly at each other's throats. *Sigh* For now, let's just try to stick together and not kill each other before the enemy gets the chance to..."

With that said, Ventus just grumbled to himself on how 'Nathan and I get into the most awful of fights....' , before he turned his attention toward Shiva and told her: "While I dislike Nathan's prior actions up until this point, we shouldn't abandon him now of all times. He may have acted foolishly and said some....hurtful things, he did so with our best intention at heart, even if it doesn't seem that way to us at first or perhaps even now. Let's give him another chance, and proceed along the Skull Path together for now. If he does something reckless that could potentially threaten the group again without prior warning, though, we will turn around and leave him to his own device. Alright?" he said, awaiting her response. When she hesitately agreed to their reason, he patted her on the head reassuringly in an attempt to calm her down, and then turned to Nate yet again and told them: "Alright, its settled. Let us ALL go down the path mark by Skulls, and hopefully make it through sound in body and mind...."
