[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Flashbacks still are OK.

Day 32 begins.

You're awakened to the sounds of sirens blaring at 6am. These emergency klaxons are atop every important building in town. Every TV is equipped to display an emergency broadcast.

The instant the sirens go off, Ventus is already out of bed and fully alert/energized, his eyes widened and slightly dazed as he briefly thought if it was another drill that Ghetsis had planned, or if it was an actual emergency situation in the base....beyond he came to his senses and violently shook his head to dispel such notations. 'Blast it....I'm here with Shiva, far removed from the old Plasma base and the wretch people that run it... Kyurem curse those exercises and training that ingrained such automated responses in myself...' the former recruitor thought to himself, fully getting his bearings and calming himself down from that moment of panic....only to nearly let out a swear nastier than anything a sailor could come up with at the emergency broadcast feed.

"By the wrath of the Djin and the Tao Trio, SOMETHING must be done about those blasted Tangrowth, vines, and the tyrannical Claydols that control them all before they end up ensnaring Stair City! The Cheshire League should elevate the severity of response towards the Skull Ruins and start deploying more exacting measures if they don't want their region overgrown and chocked by those evil, EVIL vines, or start calling in favors from other Leagues if they are more equipped to handle mess! Bah!" the researcher lowly growled out to himself, clearly displeased with not only how things were escalating in regards to that treacherous place, but also the (in his eyes) gross lack of heavy measure not being taken at this point. He didn't know what this place's military was like, but Unova would already be fielding all their Fire, Poison, Ice, and Flying Shock Troops and called in the Elite Four + Champeon and unleash holy hell on the Skull Ruins if this happened in their back yard!

However, seeing as he had a distinct lack of powerful Fire/Ice/Poison/Flying types (Haneal still yet to learn Lave Plume, much to his sudden consternation, Apsis couldn't Spray Acid for long stretch of time, and Lucifer only knew Gust) and still had a job to do that day, there was nothing he could do currently. Instead, he let out a sigh and turned towards Shiva to check on how she was fairing to the unexpected wake up call. "Shiva, has the sirens and news caused any difficulties within you, or are you alright? While getting up this early and hearing such terrible omens on emergencey broadcast is quite far from what I call an ideal morning, we need to put this out of our mind for the time being and prepare ourselves for today. Our Pokémon are ill equipped to meaningfully contribute to the current defensive block that Stair has enacted to counter those Vines, and we still have work at the Shelter to accomplish this day. Let's grab breakfast after we've cleaned up, and meet up in the lobby with the rest of the group and inquire about their plans for today. I'm not in the mood to speak or even see Nathan now, but I refuse to keep myself in the dark about his activities and remain ignorant."

Order: Get ready to head down to the Lobby and meet with Heart, Nathan, and Valder (@Nylon , where are you?) with Shiva, discuss plans with them, before he heads off to the Shelter to do his second day out of six days (If I recall correctly) of work. He's a pragmatic sort with prior obligations, so the Vines are not his first priority, sadly.
