[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Ventus woke up at the crack of dawn with a bright smile on his face (As usual), and gently/carefully got out of bed without waking his fae friend. The sociologist noticed from looking out the window that the rain had finally abated, causing him to perk up a little morning at the though of foul weather no longer ruining the days of the myriad citizens in Stair, nor make anyone else ill! After this brief insight, he completed his morning rituals, getting got and headed downstairs to grab breakfast for the both of them, and headed back to their room, and then went over to shake Shiva awake.

"Dear....dear......its time to awaken. A new day dawns, and so to should you if you want to complete your work at the shelter in a timely manner! Breakfast is on the table, so let's dig in, shall we?"

No bad dreams during the night for her, as Shiva feels like it's indeed true that time, distraction and feelings of having achieved something that day that she thought she couldn't (Charmeleon) can heal wounds to some degree. Scars remain, visible ones or not, that's the way it is.

When Ventus removed himself from being an alive pillow to cuddle upon in the morning, Cottonee instantly took that place by shoving both that Snivy-Plush and then herself into her sweet and still peacefully slumbering Master. When that slumber has been disturbed by both the fact that it's a beautiful day outside and Ven awaking her with the sentiments of breakfast and more work at the Shelter, Shiva at first rather relucantly expressed not wanting to get up, but eventually exactly these sentiments won and made her leave the comfort of the bed and take a drowsy look outside of the window while putting her untidy hair back into place by hand after having given Vaporeon - seemed like she was enjoying the place on the windowsill - a pet over the forehead. It earned her a lick over the hand.

.......No rain anymore. It's a pretty day, seemed like the weather will be nice, leaving a feeling of joy dwelling in the city streets. Reminded her on peaceful afternoons during spring in her homecity's Central Park, feeding Pidove and taking some of the freshly-hatched Grass Types on walks... Sweet and innocent memories. Now, if reminding herself on the issues she silently struggled with, it made her faintly wishful and melancholic. There was no shadow waiting behind her back then.

Keep yourself together, my dear, stay positive today, alright?
I will, I'll try to.

*turning away from the window* "How sweet that you're always bringing breakfast up here, Ven. Thanks! Before we head to the Shelter, I'd like to pay the Department Store a visit, as there was no time for that yesterday. I...ehm... eventually brought Skrelp into Professor Mallorn's care, and there's something I'd like to buy for the money he sent me in return... You can come too if you'd like, or progress to the Shelter."

To somewhat express joy and love, she deliberately tied the bow of her outfit out of a ribbon resembling a Sylveon's ribbons in contrary to an Umbreon's one, which she hasn't for a quite a while. Hopefully today Shiva will find the courage to ask Lil' Freedy if he'd be down for a friendly battle after the workshift at Shelter.

Delighted by Nathan greeting them as well as from seeing that his cold has clearly gotten better, Shiva returned his waving in her trademark coy yet friendly way. It wonders her a little that she was able to sense that happiness coming from his Kirlia, Starmie and Castform without having to concentrate her senses, but she didn't show that on the outside - must mean that he's indeed doing well. Neat!~

"Well, good to see you're doing better, Nathan... Any plans for today, since the weather's rather beautiful this morning? Besides... When do you plan to challenge Dagny, actually?"
