[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

(Kirlia is male, Spirit.)

"I can name a few people who don't, just so you know, Heart."

Nathan just drops the topic after saying that, though.

"Well, seems like I need to break the tie, then...my final vote is we wait for the Ponyta, then.  We probably all have some prep to do or some task that needs to be done before leaving for Arrowroot.  I, for one, want to try and get just a little more training in for Kirlia before leaving, and I should have some time to talk to him myself afterwards before...getting started.  The sooner I can talk to him, the better, and he's not going to want to sit on a metagross for even a second, I can tell you that much."

"Valder, you have some space in your party, right?  You can hold on to a couple of my mom's Ponyta, and I've got Swiftfire and Yule already, so that's...four non-metagross mounts if I'm counting correctly.  Anyone rather sit on a metagross the whole way?"

Shaking his head and letting out a grumble in disappointment that the group was (in his mind) needlessly delaying their departure, Ventus never the less did not make much more of a fuss than that. Truth be told, he didn't think waiting a few hours would be that detrimental to Stair City's current delimena involving those insidious Vines, and the time spent waiting for Stable Z could be afforded to more preparations for their hasty journey towards Arrowroot, so he was to readily accept this course of action.

"My own natural fortitude affords me much in the way of guarding against discomfort, and I've worked with Metagross before in the past, so I can easily endure solely riding one. Now, since you have decided to wait for the Ponyta, I will take my leave and see if I can't ferret out more resources for our journey ahead, and meet up with you all in front of the Gym, or whatever location you choose for the group to re-unite and ready for depature. Call me if any complication arise that need be handled discretely or promptly. *Turning towards Dagney and bowing to them again* I again thank you for your generousity and show of faith in us, and I pray that Reshirim watches over your offensive and defense efforts, and ensure that they do not falter. Until we meet again, my friend," the sociologist said, arms crossed and voice calm, before he made his way to exit the room and conduct any sort of last minute business he can think of that could help him and the group in the long run. Hopefully the extra time of preparation would outwieght the time lost in beginning their journey....

Order: Ventus is going to more or less ride Metagross non-stop no matter what, so he's perfectly fine in that area. As for this Encounter slot, he's going to meander over to the Library to find some form of work to get Poke/Supplies, before re-uniting with the group at wherever they will be at. Let make haste and get on with the plot, shall we?
