[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

^-^ /☆  Not to hard I guess, since for example  - Ventus expressed a feeling of having 'ditched' her this morning since he 'only' joined her on the way to the Department Store and not to the Shelter right away for the sake of watching Gym Battle - I know she took it rather well, but it feels nice to make up for her by waiting for her to be back at the Lobby, so that she doesn't feel left behind completely when she gets there and they're nowhere to be seen and no messages.
- In general, I guess both Nathan and Ven know that she has has issues with being left out on conversations that in some way effect her as well. And, her curiosity has been flared to life and she feels rather sad over Pokemon that have their heart closed, and expressed wonder what could cause this.
- Plus, she desires to know how the Gym Battle was, how Dagny holds her battles, from the viewpoint of the battler and the onlooker. Yes, this will become important rather quickly and get her thinking.
- Ventus also needs to return her Electric Rodents.
- Alternatively, she could simply send a text message that she's dealing with something at the Shelter after her workshift (say, the battle), and that she'll get to the Lobby right after that.

- Due to the timing of the encounters, though, Ventus probably finishes his shift around the time Shiva's done with that battle she had planned.  Hence why I said Nathan is waiting outside the Shelter on one of the nearby benches.  Shiva could easily run into him, Ventus, and Charmeleon there.

- Unfortunately, Nathan wouldn't necessarily think to involve Shiva.  He doesn't even want to talk about Shadow Pokemon in the first place.  Ventus might not want to involve Shiva either, given that the topic is sensitive and he doesn't yet know what Shiva saw in the journal...

- gym battle and rodents are great reasons to hang around Nathan while he's waiting for Ventus, though (once she asks him why he's hanging around the Shelter for so long or something similar, that is).  Gives her ample opportunity to ask him why he's waiting for Ventus, too.

-Yeap, that's what I figured, and why I have refrained from posting until Shiva has finished her work and battle with Freddy before I have Ven encounter Nathan! Personally, I'm fine with having Phantom finish her battle first before moving onwards, as that gets it out of the way and leave character interactions that Iron doesn't have to run. That, and I'm always busy, so having some down time wouldn't be too bad!

-Welp, that IS a valid concern, since Ven would preferably want to keep Shiva unaware of Shadow Pokémon and Cipher in general, and it limits his approach to what methods/info he uses to pry answers out of Nathan. On the other hand, having her around to prevent conflict and maybe act as good cop to Ven 'good' cop could work equally well. Up to you guys to sort out if she definitely wants to be a part of this or not, but I'm fine with either outcome.

-Agreed! Let the character interaction between your two character florish!
