[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

(Was there anything particular/worth mentioning that Shiva noticed during stargazing for around 15 minutes after everyone else have left for sleep, Iron? Also, it's been 7 days since Cottonee shed her fluff the first time, so...)


Shiva was used to fine restful sleep in a busy city, that was true, and meanwhile she got 'somewhat used' to sleep over in a tent outside in the wild - which meant, no insomnia or huge struggles to sleep in anymore. What she was NOT used to where the sounds and noises of Pokemon directly nearby, it felt like it was only the fabric of the tent that seperated her from them... She does wake up in the middle of the night due to being startled and scared by that, but everytime she hugged her familiar fluffball calling itself a Pokemon a little tighter to soothe her nerves. The fabric was sprayed with something that repels wild Pokemon and it works reliable, does it? DOES IT?

Way too early for her taste, the day has dawned, and Shiva woke up to early rays of sunshine with a feeling of missing out some hours of sleep. That was not the only nasty sensation of the morning it seemed... She'll didn't even wanted to take her daily dose of Vitamin D and St. John's Wort after being dressed from bedtime clothes to daytime clothes. Cottonee was ESPECIALLY worried as soon as she noticed that Master was even more quiet that usual, and that certainly means something! Actually, she never saw Master physically hurt. Humans are weird creatures... Nevertheless, she sticked even closer to Master, which she was appreciating. "Hehe... Don't mind me too much, dearest one, as it'll be...better later...Or so I hope... Damn, was moving always that painful? Curse that alluring smell the soup gave..."

Cottone didn't trust that 'it'll be better later'. Remembering a moment with Master when she was mentally hurt and poured her worries onto her, she decided to repeat what she did back then to ease her Master's nerves: Shed her cotton, and tug it directly into Master's arms with eager! "For me? Why... Oh... *remembering that moment*... I see... Well, thanks a bunch... I still love you, of course..." Cuddling both the shed fluff and Cottonee surely distracted Shiva from the pain for a few minutes.


The first thing Shiva does when she gathered enough will and strength to pack up her stuff and leave the tent would be confronting Heart. There was no 'anger' or similar in her, but her voice was defnitely lacking a soft tone. "Heart... Don't hate me if then next time you prepare the food, I'll ASK WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT before tasting it. Maybe I should get a pendulum to test it before considering to eat it as well..."
