[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

As the small group's leader (Shiva) spotted a familar young man in orange hair and cuddly green tweed sweaters, a coy yet honest smile formed on her expression, and in a graceful movement she was right by his side with a waving cloak. At first, she didn't say anything and simply rejoiced in silence that he appeared to the agreep time and place, but eventually she softly spoke up. "Ven, dearest, good evening! It's good to see that you've...came in the end to accompany me on my trip."

That was indeed all that came from her, for now she's respectfully ignoring that Misdreavus by Ventus' side as he instead let an occupied Great Ball fall into her palmed hand from the long sleeve of the cloak, before in a familiar white light her own Ghost Type has been summoned to join as well - it was Shiva's Litwick, and she summoned it onto the back of her hand, enjoying the eerie glow of his bluish-purple flame that he soon elighted upon being summoned. True story, she knows that not too long ago her love himself had problems with a Chandelure (she rememebers), but she trusts in him not being put on edge as 1. he already knows and even fed life force to her Litwick and 2. Shiva's Litwick has nothing to do with the Ghosts at the Candelabra.

The empath returns her smile with a sweet and charming one of his own, which did well to mask his anxiety about their upcoming sooree into the Graveyard on top of him actively hiding his true feelings away from her discretely. He rather emphatically did NOT want to tango with anymore Ghost so soon after dealing with Chandelure, but that desire was outweighed by the even more distressing thought of Shiva facing such spector alone, so he would do what must be done in his opinion. 'Please Reshirim, let not malicious Ghost type plague our exploration of the Graveyard....'

Shiva summoning Litwick garnered no visible/invisible reaction from the researcher (besides a respectful nod towards it) for much of the same reasons his girlfriend assumed, but also with the added fact that he had Malphena by his side should it try anything remotely devious. Already she was regarding it with scrutiny, eyes squinted at the smol candle spirit with an expression that plainly said: 'I've got my eyes on you, bub!' Having taken care of Chandelure and it minons with STUNNING grace and power alongside Haunter, she was confidant she could dispatch them in short order if the need arose, but it always payed to be cautious unless you wanted a great big unpleasant surprise to happen! Once it proved itself trustworthy, perhaps she could become friends with it in the future, but until then she going keep a healthy suspicion of it, hmm!

At last, Shiva gets a reaction out of the Cleanse Tag! When waved before Malphena, the symbols begin to glow with the faintest light, and Malphena blanches! She won't come near Shiva without a Will roll and strict orders!

That display caused the empath to raise both eyebrows briefly, before he swooping up his 'horrifying' little sister and does his best to soothe her by combing a hand through her hair. When her own Litwick decided flee and cower in his own embrace too (technically, since they are now hiding behind Malphena), that caused him to blink a few times and shake his head in wonder. Yeap, the Cleanse Tag has proved to be quite effective after all!

"It seems you've done a fine job constructing that charm, my love. Pray tell, do you have plans to make more for the rest of the group? I myself desire to have one in the future, but I have no pressing need for one now at the moment. Hopefully that won't change as we journey through Mt. Sentry or the Graveyard and leave me suddenly wanting for one, though....."

His sister gave him an increadulous look at the thought of OWNING one of those nasty wards (For the time being ignoring the fact that she was in close proximity with Litwick; she couldn't blame it for hiding from THAT!), but reassured her by patting them on the head and saying: "I wouldn't dream on using it on you, Malphena, so worry not....."
