[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"I'd be glad to give a sociologist a tour. Maybe you'll even have some tips."

"We'll start with the Egg Room, since you both wish to go there. In here we have racks that act as a special incubator. It keeps the Pokemon in the Egg very healthy, BUT it slows their gestation wayyy down. Why? Because Pokemon bond best with the one who hatches them and travels with them. That makes them more obedient! We even provide portable versions at an adopter's option."

"This small rack is for Pokemon who were dropped off. Our Egg Checker app is unable to identify them. So they are probably rare in Creshire. On the upside, I suppose, they might not be disobedient species. The recommended donation is $500, our lowest tier."

Unidentified Eggs

"And through here is the Nursery!"

"Judging from the safety percautions I've already seen and the overall asthetic of the Shelter, I say you are doing a excellent job accounting for the danger Disobedient Pokémon hold, but I'm more than glad to offer advice when I can," Ventus amicably responded, giving the receptionist a charming smile as they lead him and Shiva to the Egg Room, which as the name suggests was brimming with the unhatched youth of a variety of Pokémon of all types and species! He listen to her explaination on how the different tiers of Eggs and their Donation Price, what was being offered in each tier, as well as how they stored/incubated them for long period of time.

That last bit of information intrigued the researcher greatly, for while he's heard of speeding up an Egg's gestation time with Pokémon that had either Magma Armor or Flame Body, he never heard of a method to slow it down, and it was technology no less that enabled this! Sociologist as he was, he was by no means a Technical Engineer or Breeder, so he couldn't help but be impressed. "How fascinating! In Unova, when Eggs needed to be stored long term, they were registered to a on site Trainer and stored in their personal PC, but that completely halts any sort of growth or development of the Egg, so it had its associated problems with breeders. Tell me, if Cheshire has developed technology to delay the gestation period of Egg, is the inverse true as well, and available for purchase? While I am by no means a Breeder, my friend here is one, so having some fort of tech that could speed up the process of incubating Eggs tremendously," the empath inquired, waiting to receive conformation of this and where he could acquire said it, before he moved on to browse the Egg available for adoption.

The Rare Eggs obviously intrigued him greatly, especially since 3/4 of them hold his favorite/primary Type of Pokémon to study/own, but the steep donation price was a clear indicator that such an acquisition would not come without a hefty price. One that he couldn't afford normally without either spending weeks raising the funds or using his limited influence and connection to try and get it for a discount/free, but he decided against doing such things in the end. 'Having more Dragon types or a Steel type to research and care for would be a blessing from Reshirim themselves indeed, but I rather not deprieve the Shelter of a major source of funds from someone else that could more readily afford and take of them. Though, that doesn't necessarily bod true for the rest of the Eggs on offer.....'

Eventually, his curious investigations lead him back to The Mystery Egg Section, which Shiva was already at and had selected a Odd Pink Egg that just screamed 'I hold a Fairy/Psychic Type of Some Kind!!!' for herself, causing a resigned but still delighted smile on his face. He wasn't too fond of the later type, but if anyone could handle and raise them to be decent, well behaved Pokémon, it would be the mystical lass herself! He then turned his attention towards the rest of the Eggs, and one in particular caught his eye: A Black and Blue Egg, with fur on the bottom. Normally his interest in Eggs were rather limited (Raphael being the obvious Eggception), but something about this one called out to him for some reason, and while Ventus was a man of reason and logic by proffesion, he was at his core an empath that had learned to trust his intuation and emotions.

Pondering over it for a moment, and hearing the curiousity of his dear friend at his purusals, the researcher sharply nodded his head to himself, making his mind up on the matter, and turned towards the receptionist and asked: "My good friend, I would like to take that Black and Blue Egg into my stewardship, if at all possible. I have already donated $350 Poke to Freddy out in front of the Shelter, so I was wonder if I could just hand over $150 Poke more to cover the recommended donation price?"

Order: Ask in game where to find Fast Incubator, and propose offer for the Black and Blue Mystery Egg with fur on bottom, before he's ready to move on to the Nursery. When he receives the Egg into his possession, he'll send Michael Back to his PC and carry the Egg with him directly from then on! Let's see the rest of the place, shall we?
