[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Ventus couldn't understand the contents of the Old Unown message heart had recorded, but his experience with cryptograms and cyphers (Team Plasma) and programming language (Porygon!) told him that it was nuanced, highly metamorphic depending on how the letters combined, and utterly indecipherable without SOME point of reference. So when Shiva brought up the suggestion to bring this to Nathan, he could only readily agree with her! "Agreed! Trying to make heads or tails of this is like trying to comprehend C++ or Binary when you are ignorant of the core basics, so its best we leave Nathan and Solomon to unravel these messages. I want to learn how to do so myself eventually, if only to sate my own curiosity, but that will be for another times."

Small Flashback, I guess.

Shiva continued to stare at that cryptic writing(?) once more after Ventus has adressed his part and before Heart packed it away. Ignorant? She didn't felt ignorant... Her fields and skills simply lie somewherelse, or so she felt. Why Binary when you can speak normal English with a Porygon...?

At his opening that he'd enjoy learning it by himself only to sate his curiosity though, Shiva could only sweetly chuckle on the silent over such an opening, keeping tiny Skrelp resting on the other gloved hand, oozing purple and likely poisonous liquid. Ehm... She mentally noted to bring more fluid-resistant lab gloves into her possession, maybe the Almanac sells some that can be washed and reused.

Before they splitted up again though, she somewhat looked like she'd desire to ask him something. Or more so, ask what he's thinking about that... Given his empathy and closure to her, Ven probably rather quickly figured that out though. "Huh? Eh... Well, Ven, I... You know, how that exclamation mark Unown didn't want to head closer to the Ruins got me thinking - Quite e while ago, I've more out of curiosity stumbled over something in the libary here - a report about the different Layers of these Ruins. ...It seems like on the first, the upper layer called Barrow Down, tombs of the fallen in battle are stored, Ghosts and Ghost Types roam there as guardians. Beneath, Unown roam! The normal black ones and some other which are not yet decoded - likely these that Heart has shown us. This part hosts the Throne, treasures," Shiva enjoys loot of any kind! "and is a lot like the Alph Ruins in Jotho. Eh, what I've been thinking about...is taking '!' with me or us, escorting it down there. One day or the other we'll depart down there anyway, my feels are telling me this, and it's uncomfortable feeling still with a Pochyena to bite Ghosts and Cleanse Tag on my side. But, maybe '!' feels better there than here in the Shelter, I'd be happy to help that little thing and wanted to talk with Director North about it... What, ehm, do you think about that idea? Oh, and whith these Double Shifts, when will you have fulfilled your agreement to obtain Kingdra? Will you show it to me once you've brough it into your care? Pleeeeease?" Nathan may be immune to her oozing charm like Skrelp oozed poison, but she knew Ventus was not !~
