[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Dagny efficiently keeps silent, only speaking when there is a nice break for her to do so.

"The recordings are secure. Proceed."

"Tell me, were the Unown blue and spiky, or black and smooth?"

"You were wise to keep this information to yourself. I thank you for sharing it with me, as I may actually be able to do something about it. My Pokemon can get into the Skull Ruins and deal with the threat of these commanders or mannikin kings. Psychic powers will not work on my Pokemon."

"Nathan, it seems you were given a choice by the Legendary Pokemon. I, too, have a mind that has been touched by the power of a Legendary, as do many of the prime movers in this world. So, the question is - can Kirlia become the "sharer of unselfish love," or must you "journey to the ends of the earth" ? It won't be a question of simply changing your behavior. The Legendaries of Creshire are deeper than that. It will be a fundamental, visible, tangible change in Kirlia, I think. I can look into it more if you require. But Kirlia cannot be how he is and still awaken Mesprit."

"As for the other alternative, it's not the journey part that intrigues me. 'The beginning of the land.' What does that mean? Is it the same as the ends of the earth? Intriguing. Nathan, if you decide to pursue either of these alternatives, I will assist you and any materiel aid you choose to bring along. Perhaps you are the prime mover in this situation. This is how a boy becomes a man: by working hard and sacrificing to do what others are unwilling to do or incapable of doing."

"Blue and spiky, written in the Old Unown script before they shifted to the more modern script. They weren't actual Unown from what I could tell, being a projection of some kind produced by a crystal in Mesprit's chamber."

"Psychic powers might not, but control of the earth might.  And I don't know what else might reside in the Ruins, but I expect it won't be pleasant.  Be careful when you go in there."

Kirlia gives Dagny a quzzical look.  He'd have to...change to awaken Mesprit?  What is that supposed to mean?

"I appreciate the offer.  I just hope we can figure this out in time...if you happen to learn anything more, do let me know."

Funny...Ventus had said a somewhat similar thing...but Nathan still wasn't sure the context was the same...
