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

[Dragonstrike]

That's one of the reason's why I don't make a lot of long term plans, and just instead set goals/mission objectives for Ventus to accomplish and have them work their way towards it in the most organic way possible, and be able to react and adapt to jarring changes or being left behind in some aspect with relative ease! Your plans can't be dashed when you don't have much of one to begin with, eh?

Ventus actually doesn't hate Delta species at all, and is rather curious and eager to get the chance to meet, study, and maybe even capture a few of his own. He just reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaallllllyyyyyy doesn't like Orthros for both justified reasons (His own history with them, concerned with how Shiva will handle it) and not (His paranioa and irrational hatred against arcane things strikes again!). At this point, the party is evenly divided on their opinion of the Delta Houndour (Valder really hasn't made his opinion known about this, though I assume he would be inclined to agree with his employer/benefactor), so that is certainly going to cause some interesting tensions to form within the party, eh?

Well, Orthros is basically the LAST of the 'long term plans' I currently have.  And I don't think any of us expected this to happen...everything was going fine until Heart almost randomly mentioned Delta Species before Nathan did...ugh...now Nathan actually has a reason to consider not introducing Orthros to Shiva...

His original goal/mission objective with both Calam and Orthros is still in progress, of course, but man, this is REALLY throwing a wrench in the equation...it's going to be hard for him to accomplish that goal if he has to constantly worry about how Shiva might react to Orthros...

Quite frankly, Nathan doesn't particularly care what Ventus thinks of the dog atm, so long as it's not potentially harmful for the hound.

...*sigh*...well, maybe Shiva can kick off the chain of events that lead to Orthros's reveal since there's a chance she might actually try and figure out what's going on with him right now.  I'm not sure Nathan's going to have the heart to start that conversation himself, though the same can be said about continuing to hide Orthros from her...
