[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

It is now Day 55.

After the recent occasional rain, and today's warmth, a whole bunch of little blue mushrooms have popped up all over Cress City. According to Shiva's recent research, these little guys are called Cloyster Mushrooms and they're quite edible, if one discards the little black central sphere. They taste best in the early afternoon on the day they sprout, when they spread wide to soak up the sun. Great for stews, sammiches, or just pan fried in butter.

They have no poisonous lookalikes, so all you have to do is remember to cut off that little black sphere and anyone can eat them safely!

(How Shiva feels in the morning I cannot really estimate due it depends on how the late-night's discussion with Venny about her [in his view] stupid and dangerous actions, but for the most part I'll say that she's doing relatively okay.)

Nevertheless, her night's rest was calm and reenergizing, and almost per usual by now she cuddled up to Ventus' side during the night - while the group was residing in a city or town and these two can share a room and bed without it being suspicious for the others/them even knowing, that was no problem, but when the time comes again that they'll all camp outside on their travels, they'll sleep seperated again. She herself would be fine with that and accept/do so without objecting.

During the shared breakfast (if Ven does continue with sharing it with her upstairs in the privacy of their room, that is) she was more silent than usually however, mosty because additionally to her tiredness in the mornings the discussion from yesterday was still fresh. If Ven desires to speak with her or share plans for the day, she'll react and reply, same with anyonelse of the group, but for the most part she'll appreaciate to be left alone for today. That quiet phase to sort herself got interrupted as she took a glance outside the window at some point, and what she saw there raised her mood to a good amount, and even allured a subtle smile from her: Edible Cloyster Mushrooms all over the streets! Now she knows what she'll do early afternoon. Can they turned into Poffins or something her Pokemon can eat too, however?


Eventually, she made her way downstairs to the Lobby of the Eastern Center, gets herslef another cup of coffee and finds a free PC to do something she wanted to do before she'll outside to the Violet Tent to FINALLY meet and speak with the Medium there: Sending a mail home. Calling will pretty likely not work due to the instable connection to other regions, but mails should arrive in general. When her father will get the mail and reply though, she wasn't too sure, but she has her cell from which she has access to her mail account.

It reads as following.

Dad, good morning! Uhm, it's me again, been a while.

I'm doing fine for the most part. Traveling being easy all the time would be a blatant lie, just lately me and my own Pokemon had to face a Druddigon, I haven't expected to run into this Dragon Type here in Chreshire! Braixen and Cottonee recovered from the wounds they suffered in the battle. I don't like being upriled emotionally, but I do have to deal with it.

Currently we're in a town that values traditions and Furret, I managed to acquire my own Longbody Pokemon as well. ^^ Meanwhile, Marill and Espurr have even evolved into their Final Form under my care! I've included you a photo of them. (It'll turn out to be a cell photo Shiva made at some point while they had dinner.)

Ehm, mostly there are two things I wanted to let you know... One thing concerns studies. Telperion University here in Botanville does offer 'Pokemon Breeding and Handling' as a major, and just yesterday I found out that I'm qualified to enroll there. I'd love to, to be honest... However, the costs to study there are a little higher as I'm not native to Chresire. Would you...be fine with me staying a little longer in Chreshire for studies, however? May I enroll there when eventually coming to the town with the University?
The other thing, I guess I've already hinted earlier - I've developed some...'sensing' towards Pokemon. I can feel their emotions when I want, sometimes even when I do not want/unwillingly. I dare to say that during the journey, I grew 'empathic' towards them. I like that, yet I'm unsure where it comes from. Maybe dealing with Fairy and Psychic Types constantly? Anyway... I do think that'll help me to become a good Breeder and Trainer. Would you agree? Have you heard about such a thing before, have you any idea how I could hone this skill more?

Greet Mum from me. And tell her that I'm sorry as a group of Furret took the plate she gave me alongside the food I offered them. Is everythingelse fine at home and in the city?

I do hope to hear from you soon. Love and hugs over the screen!~

So far... Once she logged out, turned the PC off and swapped a bit around in her party to bring a few more Psychic Types to her hands, Shiva directly made her way to the Violet Tent and to the Medium alongside Lilith beside her and Kyuu on her shoulder - is she present today and be spoken to?
