[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

It is now Day 54.

A whispering noise comes from Nathan's pack, a little muffled by the random threads of creepy spider silk now wrapped around the stone.

"Beh-spr-teh, beh-spr-teh, beh-spr-teh...."

The weather report for today says it will rain every few hours, just for short sprinkles.

Aye yai yai...is it going to do this EVERY morning?  Well, better write down the phrase it's saying again...he was going to get to the bottom of this at some point...

Rain in the weather report...awesome.  This sounds like a great opportunity to coach Furret on accounting for a pokemon's specific needs and wants...

Well, plans for today:

- Send a quick call/text to Dagny mentioning Atheneum is what Valder thinks the library is called and that might help narrow down the search.  Worth a try, right?

- Do some research into finding some writing/word spelling materials that might be suitable for a Slowking to handle.  Maybe something like Scrabble tiles would work?  Something that can be gotten slightly wet/damp without ruining the material.

- Spend some time with Solomon writing out what it is he wants to say about Sarimanok and the Royal Trio, letter by letter if it must be done the slow way.  Probably won't take as long if task number two works out well.

- Do some training with Charmeleon for the gym battle, Forthright on learning Weather Ball, Solomon on practicing his watery techniques.  Some practice in the light Rain showers sounds perfect.  Charmeleon gets to work on his non-fire techniques (it's not heavy rain, and the practice will probably do him some good.  Nathan will find a proper battle for him soonish.  Probably), Forthright gets to experiment with how Weather Ball interacts with actual Weather, Solomon gets some much needed practice in general...Nathan will also talk with Furret about how varied weather makes the Castform species happy, and about some of a Carvanha's needs, like plenty of Biting practice, careful care of their Rough Skin, lots of water for them to swim around in...

- Following up, looking for things that can help with caring for Carvanha.  Things like durable gloves, maybe a portable pool of some kind...stuff like that. (Actually, this is probably done at the same time as getting writing/spelling materials for Solomon if Nathan can find something that looks like it will work)

- Visit the museum again.  Let's go look at...Prehistoric Pokemon, Captain Bridge, Creshire International, and Pokedex.  Slightly shorter trip today. If Shiva (or anyone else in the party, for that matter. Remember, the museum doesn't take an encounter to visit!) is here at the same time, Nathan might end up visiting different/more exhibits instead, though.

- Then swap Solomon for Swiftfire and Emolga for Yule and do some more training with the two of them and Ralts!  (Pay Day practice for Swiftfire since she thinks the move is fun to use, some playful tackling/coin chasing from Yule [much to Swiftfire's dismay], and Ralts just having fun with the both of them)  Swiftfire should be able to make that cool once per week $1000 since she was with Nathan during the entirety of Route 05, right?

If anything happens along the way, I'll respond accordingly!
