[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Unown hops onto the back of Ventus' tweed sweator and sticks there. Ready to go on an adventure!

The sociologist was a tiny bit startled by how eagerly the ! Unknown agreed and literally latched onto him, but in the end he couldn't help but smile and nodded his head. "I suppose that is a 'no' , then! Very well, let us make haste to the Skull Ruins then!" Ventus then straightened up and exit the room and the Shelter, releasing both Lucifer and Raphael into the air one he exited outside to both spend a little quality time with while on this errand, and to act as guards/scouts for anything......'devious' that may or may not be lurking outside that dead place. After all, who can hardly forget that the dread Vines once sprouted from them, and all the Tangrowth and Kingdols that could be hiding , waiting to pounce on the unsuspecting....

Order : Heading to the Skull Ruins with ! Unknown, and with Lucifer/Raphael tagging as company/bodyguards! Time to begin this escort quest, and hopefully it will NOT be annoying!

No bad dreams or faint reliving of unpleasant memories that night for Shiva, so apart from feeling rather tired - which she almost always does in the morn - and a slightly uncomfortable feeling from that seeing of other life forces yesterday night, she was doing relatively fine this morning. Weather seemed nice too and she joyfully tagged along Ventus to the next working shift at Shelter, leaving Tropius on the green roof for both some free time and possibly attract people. That dark purple Mystery Egg has not hatched yet, but Shiva felt like it could do so every moment. Maybe. Last time she checked on that one it was close...

She left talking to Director North about today's task - hooray, they can fulfill it together and outside! - as well as fetching the particular Unown to Ven, so eventually they made their way to the elusive Skull Ruins... Along the way she summoned her special Poochyena, telling him in a mystically-dramatic voice that they're on the way to the place where Ghosts and Ghost Types are known to roam - those that he is supposed to bite and ward off shall they turn out malicious and intrusive. "We're not goin in there now though, dear one. One day, maybe, we have to... Sniff around at the place please while me and Ventus are occupied with dealing the Pokemon we're supposed to escort there. Get to know the scent. Remember the place."

Shiva herself had mixed feelings towards visiting the Ruins as a part of the task - partly worried *staying close to Ven*, partly fascinated not because of the historical value but because of what the eremit told about being in there...seemingly being in there. Was it really...? Ah, no point to mull over that now, better concentrate on Unown !. How did it reacted to the place, she wondered...? To be very honest to herself, Shiva would love to hold that small elusive vivid somewhat cute exclamation mark in her own hand just for a few seconds... But she's respectful enough to not force that small Pokemon to anything.
