[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Nothing really changed about the spot, Shiva had no problems to find that spot back. Ven followed her, since he still felt like he needed to protect her from too much magic or feared the energy that dwells there might have a bad influence, while Shiva herself was actually quite delighted to visit the spot she met her magical fox. And subliminally showing Ven that there's nothing to fear in this case!

(...)

She nudged Ventus on the should before he could leave to search for berries and herbs to draw his attention on this. Her voice had quite a fascinated tone. "Ven... Look at that... It's almost certainly that Pokemon made this. Without any humans, I fear. Isn't that...quite a thing? I feel it these stones and rocks create a pattern, and the roots aren't interwined at random or out of a whim, but on purpose. This all must have a meaning." Since he was a Pokemon Sociologist in the first place, maybe this will catch his interest? "Besides, can you feel that...specialness and freshness that seemingly dwells here? I surely can somehow, maybe you as the empath can do even stronger... At night, when I sat just here to find dear Fennekin coming and taking food of my hand, it was a little more intense. There is nothing to fear about this place. It's peaceful."


(Refering to the desciption of the spot given here.)

The moment he stepped into the magical clearing/spot, Ventus did NOT feel at ease or serene here, but instead a growing sense of dread and discontent the longer he remained in the area, similar to the meteorite spots and the Nightmare World he visited. 'The fateful atmosphere surrounding this local, the quiet elusive energy that suffuses every inch of this Pokémon Contruct, the sense of whismy and magic in the air...it reminds of the flower field my mother used to visit. I hate it.' the researcher thought, silently seething the longer he remained in the place that Shiva first meet her magical fox. Still, he managed to keep his icy cold hatred under extremely tight wraps from her and Braixen, as he didn't want to freak them out or spoil the camaradence they held for this despicable place (To him.).

His mood (Already slightly peeved from being vetoed by Nathan's big picture/pessimistic objections ruining his previous plan) only grew worse when the fox mage bared him from examing some of the object at the site in greater detail AND dening him entrance to the place, but his dear friend's interjection distracted them from getting too incesed by this....yet. Silently thinking over just how to answer her WITHOUT revealing his inner wrath, Ventus eventually spoke in a completely calm, collected, and somewhat neutral tone of voice to her about the subject.

"Its rare, but not unheard of, that certain species or specific packs of Pokémon have the capacity and predilection to build their own contructs for specific uses. I suppose that certain individuals first fabricated this place to take advantage of this focal point's natural abundance of energy, but the reason why is lost on me. While the creation of this place interests me as to how and why certain Pokémon species came to know about this local's  power, first learned to utilize it, and the reverence they hold towards it, I'm primary interested in direct or indirect interactions between Pokémon or Pokémon and humans, so I am not interested in the place itself. As for feeling things....I can to an extent, but this place holds no particular appeal or draw to me. I'm an Empath of the Mind, not a naturalist that shares a bond with nature itself, so I can not derive little more than I can naturally sense, unless this place is some form of Genuis Loci that is shrouding its thoughts from us."

When Shiva had her fill of the wretched (to him) location, she made to depart away, but Ventus choose to stay behind for the time being, saying to her that 'I want to pay my own respects to this mystical place, since you have done so yourself, and I don't want to be stingy. I'll catch up with you in a bit, so don't tally or delay on my part!" When she was safely gone and out of ear, eye, and empathetic range, he released Haneal and calmly relayed a calm, simple command to her. "My sister, I need you to do something for me in regards of this Pokémon Construct: destroy it. Burn down all the plant matter that makes up this den with Ember, and then completely burry the place with a well place Magnitude. I want nothing to remain of this construct, so complete this task for me and I'll greatly reward you for the hard effort, " Ventus said to her, crossing his arms as he glared balefully at the place. It may be a naturally magical location that means a great to his dear friend, it was a total affront to all his senses and beliefs, so he desired nothing more than its complete and utter annihlations.
(Need your Input if destroying/desecrating this location causes anything to happen, or if Haneal even does it in the first place @Iron)

Once that situation was resolved, Ventus conveniently received the text about the Running, which quickly elevated his current mood out of the pits of negativity/righteous bitterness of that (Hopefully former) magical spot. 'Well this is certainly spectacular news indeed! While Nathan holds no small measure of reservation and disdain for the event, I find such a phenomina both exciting and fascinating, so of course I'll participate in it, and perhaps see and/or capture a particularly elusive species of Pokémon! Oh, I'm not going to miss this event, no matter if or how much Nate drags his feet on this,' the researcher though, continuing on his way out of Fireweed Woods, and back to the main group.

Order: Have Ventus remain at the power point/mystical location while Shiva goes along ahead towards Winesberry Pokémon until they are out of range/distracted by the conversation, then have him destroy it (The location) with Hanael, using liberal application of Magnitude and Ember WHILE his mask is on. Afterwards, he'll depart from the razed and obliterated spot and receive/become aware of the Running Text, and get hyped about the event while making his way towards the town/Center. What shockwaves will this decision generate for my character...?
