[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Oh, Shiva, of course we'll see each other again! At the very least, that's a benefit of technology - here, I'll write my phone number on your hand, or on some paper if you have any. Plus, we're both travelers, right? We're certain to cross paths."

"Zamboni doesn't participate in the Running. I'd say you'll want to challenge him not during it, but either right before or right after. Or anytime after, I suppose."

... technology is awesome.

Words could barely describe how delighted Shiva was over this decleration, she couldn't help but to sport a wide cheerful smile. "Thank you! Wait, eh, nope, I have paper...somewhere..." *rummaging in bagpack noises* "Ah, here! Just write it in there." Opening her star-patterned hardcover journal to a free page, she handed it as well as an ordinary silver pen over to Xiani. Also, actually Shiva dislikes to rip out sides of any of her belongings, but after having her journal back (with the number written inside!), she scribbled her own cell number onto the last page, ripped that one out of the journal, folded it once and handed it over to her newly made friend. ...what a nice ring this had in her mind, she practically made friends with someone she met along the journey through the region...

"Here, for complementary have my number as well. I'd love to hear from you! Like, what you experienced, or about any herbs and plants you found... since you are clearly the more experienced of us in herbology, I'd enjoy listening! I'll likely challenge Zamboni directly afer The Running then, I guess. Oh, and... practically speaking a traveler travels the region, right...? Guess then I indeed can be called one. Guess that makes us indeed both travelers, haha... Eh, where do go then after Ginger Town returned to normal? Home to Corsage or elsewhere, looking for more ingredients for meds? And having Woobat blow more petals into the hair of innocent people?"

... .... ...

"Now I really need to get going then... Guess the others might wait for me already in the Center. Well, see you then, and thanks again!~" Almost Shiva said goodbye for now with another hug, but that would likely earn her weird looks from the other Healers around. Waving will do it, too. However... "Oh, and the next time we shall meet, I'd be up to battle your Ponyta! But only if there are enough supplies to quickly get it on its hooves again, not that I accidently immobilize you!"

With that said and done, Shiva began her way among the mass of atheltics and League Officials, away from the joyful excitement and towards the Pokemon Center. She was in a delighted mood, even was up for greeting Valarie as she saw here, nothing really reminded on the fact anymore that Shiva was practically overwhelmed to a level that made it hard to breath by the mass of people and atmospere as they arrived in Ginger Town. Now, she not only saw The Running as an event worth watching from a safetly place (contrary to the not-interested-and-too-dangerous-attitude from before), but also made friends outside the party. The Daycare as well as a dorm on the upper floor facing away from the Main Street will serve as the appreciated place of tranquility. Only now she realized that it got darker meanwhile, the street lamps illuminated the people that were in their final sprint of training, Nathan has likely already settled in the Center waiting for them...

However, while Shiva actually wanted to head to the Center right away, she has been magically attracted by a small market stall that was selling what looked like lucky charms. Coudn't stop and take a look at them from a few steps. Certainly they're to help on The Running? How many charms did she collected so far already...? That Talonflame-keychain from Belle, a shard of duskglass from the Fortune Hunter Lady, a Dragon Scale...

...definitely not enough. Good fortune is always appreciated. Plus, Shiva enjoyed the crafting.

Stepping closer to the stall, she took a closer look at the sold goods, before... "Well, hi! You're still open? ...These are lucky charms and amulets for the Running especially, aren't they?"


--------------
Mechanics:
Curious what they sell, and whether they can recommend one for either protection of the Runners and Pokemon, or simply as a memento of the event itself. After hearing that and why Nathan out of all people will participate (if he shares), chances are Shiva will come by here once again.
