[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

When Ventus would arrive at their room - THEIR room, oh Reshiram, Shiva will have to get used to this thought at first... Like, true, they've already shared a room and Ven never even hinted on the slightest thing that does even have a small chance to make her uncomfortable, but seeing that they are roommates now... Eh, anyway, she'll get warmed up to it rather quickly if trusting her feeling.

Anyway, she already upgraded the room to a her familar flare, yet toned to not accidently startle him. (Windos, you once told me Ven has nothing against Mystic after all.) That meant no candles, no dream catcher - though that was not by choice, sob - but still dimmed in light and filled with fresh air that gave a hint of a recently burnt incense made of a mixture of herbs. Every book she collected so far bar the one about Earth Lore is neatly placed on the table that belongs to every room, Hitmonchan's Guide had several bookmarks in it. Every single one of a different light colour.

Speaking of the table, the black-spotted egg has been places there as well, comfortably nestled up the fluff Cottonee shed and gifted to her Master earlier (it's not crafted into a plushie yet). Depending on what is strongly assumed of hatching from a particular egg, i.a. the close surrounding plays a big role for the wellbeing of the hatchling, that much Shiva naturally knew. (you nerd) For example, both Grass and Bug Types enjoy a heap of grass or hay to curl up in when being freshly hatched, Fire Types logically a heat lamp, special Pokemon like Pichu/Cleffa/Azurill always are thankful for a fluffy bed or pillow to rest on, while maybe suprisingly both Psychic and Dark Types as well as selected Dragon Types prefer a calm and silent place with a possibility to retreat as lots of them are either precocial species or outright wary of people.

The presence of the parents is always helpful for an egg, but it reaches its peak when being close to hatching - most wild Pokemon stay very close to their egg at this point. Well, a slighty pity that Shiva not only had no idea where the egg came from at all, neither what may hatch here, so it'll be her task to stay close to her young the hatchling and at least provide the basics every Pokemon would enjoy at that point: A cozy place to rest on and hide among if desired = Cottonee's fluff, the fruit Shiva picked from Tropius while being at the park prepared on the familiar orchid-patterned ceramic plate and a little of that crystalline water from the tarn in a glass.

As for Shiva herself... She was already dressed for the night with a long navy dress with white frills at the seam but insightfully wore a comfortable black hoodie over it, and was sitting at the table paging through her journal in all serenity. She won't say more to Ven than wishing him good night in a warm and soft tone. (He can say more if desires though.)

Mechanics:
Shiva won't turn in for bed until Ventus has returned, as she can't lay down for proper rest while her roommate is still running around outside. If the egg hatches now/this in-game evening, great; if not, maybe she'll be suprised in the mornings then. Ven is adviced to leave the hatchling alone if he wakes up before she does or at least wake her then.
