[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

The Relic Cafe is actually indoors, inside the museum, but they can give you a to-go cup.

I have one training roll for Gothitelle. A Perform check, I think. (6)(3)(4)(6)(2)(1)(6)(1) = 4 bonus XP +2, just for that session alone. Then all your Pokemon get +1 for each session, and Spritzee also gets a bonus XP.

Vulpix looks really pleased at being asked to summon hail.

(Whoops. I've been imagining the Cafe having seats indoors and outdoors like Starbucks has, and Shiva simply opted to find a seat outdoors. Nevermind, in that case she ordered one big latte, enjoyed half of it while reading in the book about raising Spritzee and introducing herself to white Vulpix all while Lilith is pleasant company, then eventually took them all outside for Training, protecting herself, Spritzee and Gothitelle from the hail by Vulpix via a black pocket umbrella depicting a Lunatone.)

Consider her also impressed by herself that the model of whichever constellation Lilith has chosen turned out so well, it delights her lots that her gothloli Psychic Type is enjoying it just as much.

Guess Spritzee can now 'summon' the smell of coffee latte? Sweet. To work more with her during Chapter II, I fear I'll have to place Azumarill onto Bill's PC for a little, sooner or later.

Original Post

The sensation and opening that her newly found love had no hangover at all came just as much as a suprise for her like for him and she couldn't help but to muster him awaitingly as if she was silently trying to see whether he was telling the truth. Eventually, after maybe half a minute of doing so, a thankful smile formed on her expression. The stars must have had mercy with him, how lucky!~ "Is that so, Ven? That's.... well, great to hear then! Have a splendid day with Valder and 'other things' then. We'll likely, uhm....see one another again later, will we?" She pauses here to give him a shy expectant glance, before it faded as she spoke up once more in a dear and a little flattered manner.

"Hehe... Sure, I... I mean, I too enjoy peaceful days, and sharing quality time with you. But, please don't forget that you-know-who are looking for the Library as well, okay? We shouldn't...delay things too much, I do hope we can search for it ourselves in a few days, let me know when you made enough cash to contribute to the costs of hirering Mr. Finder, please."(That's for the sake of her getting to him to confirm the search and make a definite contract one Day before heading into Mount Sentry)

There was one more thing Shiva would like to have off her chest before they'll exit their room, she hesitates a little before speaking it out. "Ven, dear....l-love? One more thing, I feel the others deserve knowing that we are...well....... Oh, but it doesn't have to be right away! Maybe they'll cotton on themselves, I don't know, and it's nothing uncommon that we...found one another. So many young people set out on a journey through the region, in ALL regions, it doesn't suprise me that romantic bonds are sometimes forged during these journeys. What...do you think about that matter?"

Ventus gave his most blessed of friends a warm, comforting smile and reached out to gently muss her hair to quell that tremulous worry that lingered over her fair mood. "I plan on visiting the museum myself today with Nathan after I finish up matter with Valder, so if you wish join us you are more than welcome, dear."

Her discrete mention of the Scimitars causes the researcher to frown a bit, his expression growing serious now that those wretched cabal of wizards were back on the top of his mind. "Those twisted archmage's diabolical aims for Anthenum have been far from forgotten, nor has my desire to crush waned, but I thank you for the reminder. Rest assured Shiva, when I have acquired my portion of covering Mr. Finder's I'll inform you so that we may all begin our expedition into Mt. Sentry poste haste. We can NOT allow those wretch Scimitars to gain access to the library's coveted secrets at any cost, so I will do my part to ensure that does not come to pass...."

Such a grim mood was instantly dispel by his mystical lass' question of how to handle their new relationship statuts, causing him to feel/subsequently quash a jolt of apprehension that flowed through him. "Umm.....I would much prefer we keep or union hush hush, at least for the time being. I'm still.....uncomfortable with the idea despite how much I....I love you, and the thought of being under intense scrutiny by Nathan and Heart for our affections.....that unnerves me greatly. If they discover our relationship on their own, so be it, but I rather not give them any hints for our own peace of mind. At least, not until we both have settled fully with our.....feelings with one another...."

A brief moment of silence, before Ven spoke once more, in a quiet tone that was normally an indication that something was troubling him.

"Speaking of our relationship....we need to talk about certain....things, my dear. Not right now, but tonight, after we've had a full day of respite to acclimate ourselves with our....love for one another. Alright?"

Shiva slightly flinches away and looks startled as Vetus reaches over to gently muss her hair, but mostly because she just finished brushing it. He stroked her hair earlier already, it's nothing new, so a few moments later she soft-leaned into the caress, bringing all her attention to him to calmly listen to what he had to say.
She appreciates that he ensures to do his part on finding the Library/paying for the hirering of Mr. Finder. Until that fateful day will come, she will follow her own businesses, prepare for it, enjoy the time as best as she can...

His mentioning of prefering to keep their newly-forged romantic bond secret in the first place caused her to perk up and look at Ventus in what seemed to be...wonder, even a bit of mystification. For various reasons, 1. she thought he didn't enjoy keeping secrets?; 2. did he really said there that he loves her, much even? Aww. How incredibly sweet by him, if she wouldn't be somewhat insecure and coy she'd now fondly hug him - but because she was, he had to be fine with a just as fond glance up to him and a hestitant nod to eventually agree to things. "F...Fine, if you're uncomfortable about them finding out, then I'm fine with doing my best to keep it secret. I, well, don't know how long that'll work and what to exactly...do, but maybe it's better this way. But...I like you...I don't care too much whether the others of our group disagree to us or not." These words were muttered into his sweater as she leaned into him.

His next few words and that QUIET tone caused her to look up to him again, looking a tad bit anxious over the request to...talk. A-About what does he want to talk, what's wrong? "Sure we can talk, if you feel the need to do so, Ven... Tonight is fine as well. Probably not in the Lobby of Center? I mean, for privacy I can come to your dorm, or you to mine."

(Feel free to start this whenever you like, Windos, I have one Encounter left but it'll likely be Training anyway, or whatever I think out.)
