[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

OOC, I usually state what pokemon Nathan swaps in and out of the PC.  IC, Ventus might not know, but there's little excuse OOC if you're paying attention.

Nathan definitely cares about being able to move.  Traveling on a Metagross at high speed and sometimes even vertically?  He needs to be able to adjust his poition quickly or grab his pokeballs in the event something unexpected happens.

Nathan's got...reservations about using Ditto right now.  It doesn't really like him currently for obvious reasons, and relying on a pokemon that might not listen fully is risky business (even if it does have 0 disobedience).

And Ventus could be a bit more polite with his dislike.  That's the main issue Nathan has with Ventus right now.  It's far too blatantly 'ermagerd, I'm gonna keel u just for existing!'  No, just no.  Nathan's not going to tolerate that forever.  And I'm getting tired of seeing it.  The dog's nowhere near Ventus right now, hasn't caused any problems in weeks...there's no justifiable reason to take all that anger out on Orthros 24/7 as far as I and Nathan can see.

Fair point there, since I actually wasn't paying to much attention at the time. Sorry about that!

Good point, now that you bring that up!

True, but at the very least will you consider using them if the group ends up in a pinch because of Tailwind Traveling? A Ditto is an awful handy Pokémon for a lot of situations....

Complete and Undiltues Contempt/Fear for Orthros species is pretty frickin hard to tone done or politen past the point of tolerance/acceptance Ventus is begrudgingly giving to Nathan/Ortros already. You are also correct in there being no justifiable reason, but Ventus is not using logic here to dictate whether or not he should/should not hate Orthros, he's founding it off his past history with the speices, his paranioa, and his preconceived notions about them. His hatred of the beast is quiet illogical and set in stone, and is unlikely to diminish outside of drastic measures.

If Nathan lashes out because of this, their is more than a good chance that Ventus will leave rather than be forced to play nicer with either him or the dog, regardless of the ramifications it will have. Either that, or he'll just tell Nathan to deal with it, as he's the one that brought such contempt on himself for keeping the dog to begin with.

On an entirely unrelated note, could Lucifer use Tailwind every so often to speed up the Metagross like Alteria, Iron?
