[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

And Nathan's tired of keeping Orthros in his pokeball all the time.  It's not fair for the dog to be cooped up all day, every day.

No, its not, but neither is it fair to force Shiva and Ventus to have to be confronted yet again with something that was quite literally out of their nightmares, and that tried to either hunt them for sport or worse. Both my character and their's have a very good reason not to want to have anything to do with it, and in Shiva's case she would probably start having doubts and misgivings about the boy again for harboring something so provocative/dangerous in their eyes. At this point, my character also doesn't really care to keep his word about having a open mind towards the Delta Species, and summoning at this point in time would only widen the gaps between them, perhaps even permenantly if Shiva REALLY reacts badly to it.

Its the catch 22 of owning Orthros: You have what is considered both in and out of game as a rare, powerful and unique varation of an already cool Pokémon, but almost everyone else in the group either hates/loathes it, and its unlikely that is going to change in the near or far future. About the only person right now that would give a chance to the hell hound would be Heart, and that might change if Ven cares to inform them his views/encounters with the species.

Nathan has his own viewpoint on the dogs though.  And he's working to show they aren't all that bad, as wild canines are typically very different from tame ones.  Nathan's going to be as gentle as he can be with revealing it to Shiva, and Ventus is likely just going to have to get used to Orthros being around.

And if not soon, then when?  There needs to be a compromise here, as I doubt Orthros will want to stay cooped up without very good reason once he and Nathan trust each other at the very least.

Plus, as a player, I want to be able to use this thing.  I've been waiting and waiting and waiting...and now that I'll be able to soon, I'm being told I shouldn't.  Ugh.  Come on, give me a break here.
