[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Whoahw, it seems like this one time, Shiva let her affections get the better of her and unknowingly and very foolishly brought herself into...mortal danger? Whether it really was, she wasn't sure, but if you'd ask her, it felt like it was.

This was exactly the risk that she was pondering over before. That small risk that was present always, despite how well a dangerous Pokemon has been tamed, that small risk she, maybe in an act of badly, so-badly placed boldness and courage, was foolish enough to take when she approached Ven and his Arbok. That false sense of safety she has developed on her own, the trust that he'd keep Apsis under control, that he'd never let his Pokemon harm those he cared for, all of that made her decision to NOT just let Ven be and trust in his iron grip on himself so crystalclear...

...now, as she was starring back into the Arbok's menacing eyes, she knew she has went too far. This one time she did, it'd be solely her fault if within a few moments, she could have first-person experienced how it really feels to be poisoned and suffer the pain of a Pokemon-inflicted septic shock by herself. True story, the fear was intense and Shiva could almost sense the breath of this majestic cobra, Apsis has all reason to bathe in this feelings, enjoying the reaction to her showing a young female thing with an affinity for fairies and nature/natural magic how intimidating she can be. Very well done, 10/10 points.

Only when Apsis let go but kept staring into her eyes, probably even admiring the reflected image of herself in her glasses to the utmost, Shiva actually dared to breath again while Marill, having kept very silent the whole time and practically hid herself in Shiva's arms as she formely always did in the top hat, dared to take a very carefuly look up to her sweet Master. The lesson she has learned here was very clear: Don't mess with an Arbok, don't mess with a poisonous snake, don't dare to mess with any Poison Type at all. All stuff Shiva already knew, but it got some more significance just in this moment.


Since Ventus is also walling himself off emotionally, Shiva was unable to detect or feel anything from his side, NOTHING, this just outright scared her in the silent because she has never seen him like THIS. She kept her respectful distance as he moved onwards the path, and only stumbled to that stop when he halted. The whole time, she didn't say a word, nothing, she only concentrated on her breath to calm herself down. It worked to some degree, to a degree that prevents her from heartbreaking that is.


She very clearly does NOT WANT to breakdown here. So she just...won't, enough said, Shiva will just carry on and surpress what just happened into memory, never bringing it back unless it's a must, neither will she mention anything towards this to Ven himself. Despite everything, it was still him. Despite everything...

She'll simply train her Psychic Types more in the future. They'll be with her, and protect her from poison more than they already do.

Neither did she reply to Ventus asking for her to leave him alone, she only looked him in the eyes with a waiting expression, giving him a slight nod to express that she'll grant him as much free and alone time as he wants. He knows he can always come to her in turmoil shall he desire to do so, but never would she stress things. Ven's old enough and experienced in life enough to deal with things splendidly on his own, she'll trust in that.


So when Heart asked her whether she was okay some time later, she displayed indeed being okay. "...I'll do well, Heart. Thank's for asking. I'll just GO and find a Furret now to play with, it's fine, don't worry for me more than necessary."
