[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

He does comment on Ventus's lecture, though.  

"*AHEM!*  I'm right here, you know.  And no, Skorupi is NOT up for trade right now.  And nor do I approve of your 'hunts' in the slightest, and I don't recommend you encourage those habits.  At all.  End of story."

The sociologist shakes his head and outright sighs at Nathan's stubborn, traditionalistic side rearing its head yet again, not in the least appreicating their attempt to override/shutdown his own advice/initiative on this topic, nor is he pleased with their continued hostility/apathy towards Heart.

"Nathan, my advice is just that: advice. A series of informed suggestions based on my years of research and personal experience when handling and interacting with Poison type Pokemon that you are under no obligation to agree or endorse in, if you so choice. As a Pokémon Researcher, its my duty to both learn and educate about these creature various habits, behaviors, percularities etc.. and how to better understand one another, not hide or secret away inconvenient and/or distasteful facts. If that means I informing Heart of the possiblity that hunting can help him better bond with his Venipede, then I will glady do so, even if it racks against your sensibilities. I respect your beliefs, listen when you speak about them, and try to avoid violating, I truly do, but they are not my own and you can't just force them upon me when you find yourself wanting of mine own.  Please Nathan, can we not just agree to disagree on this? I would also appreciate you not being so cold and hostile towards Heart, as he has thus far not done anything to deserve such treatment and is making an honest integrating into our group. He's a friend of mine, same as you are, and I hate seeing my companions at odds with one another for hardly any reason that I can envision...."

The researcher expression is one of marked frustration, a little bit of upsetness, and liberal application of unhappiness, and his tone was sullen + serious. If Nathan was allowed to be tired of Ventus' various antics and bugbears, then by Reshirim the reserves can be said to be true as well!
