[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Nathan turns around just in time to avoid getting ambushed.  Somehow.  Maybe it was Ralts starting to shiver much more intensely than Nathan was and looking ready to fire off a Confusion in self defense that tipped him off.

Nathan engages in what amounts to a staring contest with Misdreavus for a few moments.  She's probably surprised she got caught in the act by an inattentive target, and he's surprised that there's a Misdreavus of all things here...

"What...hang on...wait...that's a...but where did you...did you go to..."

Suddenly, Nathan turns around again and grabs Ventus by the shoulders, a sudden seriousness in his eyes and tone.

"PLEASE tell me you didn't go to the Skull Ruins.  That place is bad news.  BAD news.  We shouldn't even be going near it right now.  Stronger trainers than us have entered it and never been seen again."

While a little disappointed that his sister didn't quite pull off a successful ambush, it didn't dampen his humor one bit to see Nathan abruptly swivel around and just stare at them. The boy assumption was indeed spot on, as Melphena was taken off guard about being caught in the act.....until she floated ever closer , almost pressing against his face, let out a low *Eeeeeeeee* ......

.....And then suddenly giggled and smiled mischeviously at him, before hovering up 'n over him and right to her master and gave them a close eyed wide smile and a much more chipper *Eeee!* She may have failed in her goal to spook the little boy, but it was still funny seeing him gap at her! Maybe next time she'll make a tasty meal and elicit some REAL fear out of him, tehe!

Ventus was about to let out another fond chuckle and (if permitted) fondly tussle her hair for their antics and properly introduce her to the young scholar, but them suddenly grappling on them, jerking him forward, and started to grill into him over his (admitidly true) suspicions. The empath didn't have a chance to react at all, and was left momentarily stunned from this unexpected rough treatment!

"Bwah?!"

Little Miss, while also being taken off guard by the boy's mood swing, recovered almost immediately and rapidly interposed herself between him and their weird master, this time actually getting right up in his face and giving him her best pseudo mean lock she could conjure up, letting out a angry high pitched *Eeeeeeeeee!* to accompany it that convey the basic notion :'Hey, knock it off!' She and her former trainer had enough manhandling for one day, and she wasn't about to let her new trainer being subjected to it too! If he didn't let go soon, she'll give him a REAL reason to get all work up...!
