[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Oh, Nathan. So much on your shoulders, so soon after leaving home. It's hard to believe...but it must be true. Maybe you'd like to spend a week at home, relaxing and recuperating? Telling me all your unbelievable tales and making me proud, introducing your new teammates? I want to know more about this orange man. How can it be that someone becomes the physical manifestation of the earth?"

"...I can't.  Kirlia and I...we still have to wake Mesprit...somehow...I...asked Shiva for a battle as well...she's still in Stair...I do still have some time before that, though...Kirlia and I can just Teleport back.  He'll be tired, but I'm not going to be using him in that battle, so..."

...

"...this isn't over...the vines were just one battle in the war...that golem is still in the ruins...and the only one that can stop it is probably Mesprit...I...I have to get stronger...faster...I...I won't let this scheme of Sarimanok's take over Creshire...whatever it is...I'll do it, even if I'm not happy with it...for Stair...for us...for Forthright and Ditto...for Kirlia, Swiftfire...and everyone else..."

...

"...please don't say anything about it to anyone.  I...I don't think I could handle any more pressure..."

...

"...did you...want to see Solomon's Hidden Power now?  It's...really something else.  There's not much more I can say about that old man, other than he seems to be older than anyone today could probably comprehend.  He's...probably not human.  For all I know, he might not even be there all the time..."

Nathan's trying to refocus now, hold it together somehow.  He's got a pen out and opened his journal to his notes on Old Unown, ready to take notes if Solomon agrees to demonstrating his Hidden Power.
