[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

The whole time Ven was learning how to play that Shamisen, Shiva was near him and simultaneously roasting pieces of that fleshy root held on a stick, listening to him elicting sounds from the instrument, and learning the lyrics of 'Skirl of the Southern Wind' by heart. Given that she read and reread the lyrics coutless times, it actually wasn't that hard as she believed it would. (Does this still need a roll, Iron?) She kept the book open in her lap, mentioned stick in one hand, Chicorita on her right shoulder and Nightshade cuddled up close to her, resting half on the book and half on her lap.

A few times she ended up buring the root to an unedible state mostly because she was concentrated on the lyrics and this was only the second time she roasted food at an open fire, but more rarely than yesterday with marsh mallow plants. Whenever she was repeating the lyrics silently in her mind, she just stared into the embers of the bonfire, trying to find a pace she felt well with.

There was no real task or order for Nightshade and Chicorita. Both where just present, enjoying the closeness to their Master, and free to listen to the music as well as enjoying and learning about the scene here. Or rather, as their both Grass Types, learning that fire was not directly harmful but also warm and comfortable to sit by.


(Indeed, this is a Training Session for Chicorita and Nightshade. I also want to give Shiva +1 point in Perform Speciality here. She'll visit a Cottonwood Tree during the next day then.)
