[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Flashback! (cuz it seems I have to drag things out a little more to do what I want to...*sigh*...)

Kirlia's rather alone when Ventus follows Yena off to wherever Shiva went...man, this was boring, waiting around for everyone...and he still hurt all over too...stupid Muk...

2 hours later, and Ventus is back with Shiva, and they go off to look for Heart.  Kirlia is still rather sore, though the pain is starting to fade a little (still at 3/7 HP since only 6-7 hours have passed.)  He's still holding the potion that Viktor gave him.  The intent was good, but man, he wished he knew how to use these things right about now...having the means to heal himself in hand and not being able to use it...it was frustrating.

And Nathan still hasn't come back from scouting...though he still seemed to be enjoying it immensely from what Kirlia could tell...what on earth made him so happy all of a sudden?  He wished that he could be there and figure out what it was, but he knew Nathan wanted him back here...

*sigh*

This day hadn't at all gone how he'd have liked it to...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Nathan's flower gathering, meanwhile, has turned into a game of sorts.  Swiffire wanted to get on the move again, so Nathan mounts up and continues the scouting to clear the path (gonna take a little longer to catch up to him now, but he's moving more slowly so everyone else can catch up).

Masq and the Combee keep an eye out for obstacles that might need clearing.  Whenever they spot a patch of flowers, Masq bolts right for them and hides, and then the Combee try to find him.  Masq is, fortunately, rather timid for the most part, so the bees don't really have many problems with getting along with him once it's well established that he's not going to blow them away or eat them.

It's some interesting practice, that's for sure.  Masq isn't found more often than not, but sometimes the bees find him.  Or Nathan and Swiftfire do.  And all along the way, Nathan keeps adding magenta flowers to that small basket he has.  It's rather full by the time everyone catches up...

And Masq is, of course, still going to be hiding in a patch of those magenta flowers when everyone catches up.  As for the main purpose of this little scenario...one training session worth of hide-and-seek for both Combee and Masq!
