[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Lucifer instinctively grabs Ventus' finger as it passes overhead with the final sprinkles of powder. There is a mild flash of light, somewhat similar to the light of a Pokeball coughing up a Pokemon, but dull and ineffective. Ventus' empathy picks up the jolting feeling of a tangible bond between Lucifer and Ventus. It fills both of you with happiness and loyalty to each other. Your ability to pick up each others' thoughts is permanently heightened - and you notice that Lucifer is not even thinking about gold or apples right now. He's thinking about his brother, Ventus Zachariah. In the bat's mind, you're like a big older brother bat Pokemon with no wings.

The ritual complete, Noibat sneezes and leaps to your shoulder for an uncharacteristically warm cuddle. Since Noibat partook of the ritual voluntarily, he gains +1 Happiness and +1 Loyalty. The negative effects of trading him away from Ventus are doubled. Ventus can feel Noibat's will hardening, resolving not to be separated or turned against his brother in any way. A support move targeting Noibat will have a much lesser effect on Ventus, good or bad: usually about 3:1 dice. For example, if Noibat somehow used Belly Drum, Noibat would gain 3 Strength and Ventus would gain 1.

For the next couple hours, Noibat wants to stay out of his ball, and he does a little wriggling happy dance the whole time whenever he thinks about the oath Ventus made.

Ventus also gets 1XP for the great poem! That really feels like Mamo style.
