[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

"Yes, there are powerful magnetic fields in below-ground Mt Sentry, throughout the Divide, and in Mt. Molten. I actually have a setup whereby I can turn the entire Gym into a magnetic field, but I have to warn my neighbors, and it uses a lot of power, so that is not trivially done. Mt. Molten has the strongest one, due to a spinning conglomeration of liquid metal at its base. To the East and West of Trillium Town are long veins of metal ore, which luckily route much of the magnetic field away from sensitive electronics in the town."

(...)

"My defenses worked fine, luckily. I SUGGEST, you work more with those volatile Pokemon until they are as obedient as machines."

"Oh, I didn't know your Gym had such capabilities, but that is another feature that proves your ingeniuity and resourcefulness Dagney! Hmm.....I believe I'll pay Mt Molten a visit in the future in that case, as eventually my companions and I will have to pass through Trillum again, and I'm interested so see what effects this location will have on a Magnemite's Evolution! (...) Until we meet again, be well my friend!" Ventus replied, giving a friendly wave farewell before going to collect his various rewards for a job well done! When he picked out his Egg, he gave it to Shiva with a short but kind/eager plea : "Could you please Look after my Egg for awhile, like you have with my other one? Oh, and I would like to have my other one back to finish up the incubation process myself, in order to facilitate the bond between us! (Michael will be sent back to the PC to make place for the Egg!) " The researcher also listened to Nathan apologizing/getting reemed for his maverick Pokémon's behavior, but choose not to react to that exchange besides taking a sliiiight amount of schadenfreudtastic joy from it (Ven's still EXTREMELY sore about all the antics and choices they've made up until now, despite still sympathizing with them somewhat, so....).

Shiva gives Heart a pretty unimpressed and unamused look from the side that she held for several seconds, as if she was wordlessly reminding him on what happened the last time he made food for them. (⇀_⇀) 
As long as he doesn't put any weird plants that he doesn't know into this dinner, she'll join, but she'll be kinda hesitant as all the pain and neausea was something she rather not desires to go through again. Nevertheless she replies to him in a friendly tone. "See you tonight then, Heart. Be careful with the ingredients, please. I have some business to follow in the city, but I'll be at the Center anyway around dinner time."

With that said, she carefully turns to Ventus. "Uhm... Ven, you said you wanted to go to the Department Store, right? Can I, well, join? Maybe just along the way as finding a good person trade Pokemon with might take a little alongside with restocking on goods."

Before they'll head there though (if Ven is fine with that, that is), she'll swap her party at the PC in the Lobby Dagny mentioned. This is where Nathan can catch her up.

When Heart brings up exploring his culinary talents again, Ventus is quick to erriely mirror his dearest friend expression with arms crossed in front of his chest, before letting out a sigh, nodding his head and saying: "That will be fine, but please stick to a recipe and NOT experiment with ingredients unless you know for something what you are adding will not make us all heave. I do not want a repeat of your 'Nausating Stew' , understand? I wish to explore the Department Store for potential purchases, and then check up on the Shelter and resume my arrangement with them, so I will meet you later tonight as well. May your endevors to evolve Tynamo prove fruitful Heart!"

In response to Shiva's deliberate and somewhat shy request, the empath reaches over to ruffle their hair with a bemused smile on their face. "You know you are always welcome by my side unless I say otherwise, dear, so you need not have asked! I'll mostly searching for useful Held Items and Pokeballs, along with what TMs they have available and perhap's what is on Almanac's floor of the store, so we may have to part ways at some point. Hopefully that is alright with you.....?"

After Shiva conducted her exchange and subsequently got caught up in a conversation with Nathan (Which he again choose to listen to but not comment on....for now) , Ventus placed Michael in his PC and accept his Egg back from Shiva, which was still covered in the down Primal Alteria gifted him! Not only would it serve as excellent incubation material, but getting its DNA analyzed would provide a most fascinating Insight on the nature of Ancient Non-Fossil Pokémon! How exciting!

Soon enough, though, Shiva finished hashing out the details of her upcoming match with the boy, and turned to him and announced her readiness to start their respective shopping sprees, as well as them sharing a room again! "Ready when you are, so lets make haste to the store, shall we! Oh, I was going to ask if you desired to resume sharing a room together, but I see you have beaten me to the Mega Punch! Excellent foresight, my dear! (...) Yes, I plan on resuming work at the Shelter today after I check up on them. No doubt they need the assistance calming down the Pokémon and returning the place to some form of normalacy after the problems they had with the Vines!"
