[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Huh.  Yeah, a Fire/Water versus a Grass/Fire ended up being pretty equal in the end...despite having several of the powerful cards that the box only had a single copy of, Nathan ends up losing the 3 duel match overall.  "Heh...guess I have a little practicing to do if I want to get into this at all...well played, Shiva, well played."

It's nice to just relax and play a card game, look at the cards' cool artwork...Nathan probably spends a good portion of that time putting them in card sleeves.  Yeah, he shelled out that extra $100 for the lifetime sleeves coupon thing.  Might as well, right?  He also makes sure to grab an extra one, just in case he decides to cut out that picture of the Skarmory card later.  Might not be tournament legal, but eh.  Still looks reeeaaallly nice.  Definitely must have cost quite a bit to get that picture copied...

"So...yeah...kinda have something I want to share with everyone back at the Center...so...I'd really appreciate it if you didn't run off right away...I know it's late and all, but...*ahem*...anyways, we should probably be heading back to the Center now..."

Well, back to the Center we go since we've had our fun and games with the cards for the time being.

Huh? Shiva wasn't actually paying much attention to who was winning this fun match to test the cards they just bought, only when Nathan actually states it she fully realizes it. Naturally, she looks stunned at first, before it developes ito a flattered manner. "What did you say, excuse me...? Wait a moment, I've really beaten you? ...Cool. But...that was fun indeed! " Spritzee on her shoulder agrees with a delighted chirp, simply seeing her Master in a delighted state made her happy as well.

Oh, and nope, Shiva does not buy any card sleeves, she has that wooden crate to contain cards in, stuffing it with some fluff from her cottonee to secure all the cards. Maybe later she may change her mind, but for no a containment without plastic feels better for her personally.

"I won't run away right away, Nathan. Once you're finished, we can head back to the Center together, bet Ventus is lingering there. Hopefully the others do as well!" If she'd knew, she'd probably be delighted that she was able to spend a pleasant and fun evening with Nathan in this Shack, this could count as her birthday gift to him.
