[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Spiritmon]

Spoiler

(That means we now have 3 out of 5 people of the group for moving on, Iron. Sufficient, I guess, but maybe Ventus or Valder still would like their input in a flashback.)

(...) Heart make a serious face of determination. "I take that job. I be training and sharping my stealth skills here in Mt. Sentry for quite a while, and I the more furtive of the group. And have sharp a little my alert instict, so I may be capable of detect any danger ahead. And in case I receive any serious damage, I still have potions with me and have Gustav to use Mega Launcher as a last resource. And still have the Hurtloam and Revive in case my pokemons get faint. So I am very much ready for some dangers."

This opening earns a worried and somewhat....not too happy look from Shiva that she holds on Heart for a little longer than what'd be usual, before she speaks up to him in a lower voice than before. "If you're sure about that.... Then I guess we won't be able to stop you. But please, keep it limited and be careful. If your Pokemon faint, you can heal them. If YOU faint... We cannot do anything if you're not nearby and we don't even know where you are, your Pokemon won't know what to do and worse.... Ugh. Please don't let the danger overwhelm you, Heart. Okay?"

(Bah, sleeping in after a busy night and a whole lot of posts came up. Oh well, time to make an abridged one...)

-Ventus is a bit charinged and angry at the news that not only were their well over a dozen Scimitars, but they were cowardous enough to hang back all the way at the beginning of their mountain trail. He expresses such sentiments to the group, as well as his frustrations at the games they were playing.

-Unlike the rest of the group, Ven still advocates going after the Scimitars. He cites that while doing  so would require taking them aaalll the way back and force them to tango with aaalll of them, leaving them alone was certainly going to cause more trouble than not, that dealing with their Solosis scouts/spies was a stop gap measure at best and a drain on resources unless they started killing them, and that since they know the general path up to this point they can quickly move through it at double speed. He also points out that since they have Repels going through the mountain would not be such an issue, and that by going all the way back and taking care of the Scims they could escort the police to them and prevent them from getting away + go back into town and re-stock on supplies like spent Pokeballs. He's fairly adamant about his choice, and wouldn't be swayed by their arguments.

-However, once it became apparent that the party favored the 'Ignore and Deal With the Scimitars as Needed' approach and continue onwards, his expression grows stony and thunderous, his eyes hardened, and he goes completely silent. He's extremely displeased with that plan of action, but due to group majority vote he goes along with it under duress. Because of it, though, he doesn't want to directly interact with anyone else in the group and avoid them at all cost, preferring to stay at a distance from everyone while he copes with his impotent rage and distaste with the situation. This lead to him shrugging off Shiva hand, standing up and telling everyone he'll begin packing up camp now that a course of action has been decided upon in a low, angry monotone, before doing as he indicated.

-He doesn't really care about Heart's plan to scout ahead, blowing it off entirely out of angry and the fact that deep down, past his rage, he believes that man is capable enough to just about anything he puts his mind to.

-Ven also make a hidden vow of killing everyone Scimitar Solosis he personally comes across, partially to prevent Nathan from wasting the group's resources and prevent a build up of hostile hostages they would all have to keep track of/take care of, partially out of spite fueled pragmatism towards both the Scimitars and the group.

-Ventus readies himself for the journey after everything is packed, with Malphena by his side with a somewhat worried and upset expression, as her master's behavior was far from what she come to expect and LIKE from him....

In short: Ven's wants to go all the way back and hunt those Scimitars down, but due to group conscesus he's forced to go along with their plan. He's very displeased by this, and as a result seperates himself from the main group and vows to eradicate any of the Scimitar forces should he come across them himself alone/first.

Ready to continue our journey!

Heart smile to Shiva to help her reduce the worries. "Don't need to be worry Shiva. I more thougher than I look. I can't be the comic releaf of the group forever right? You guys already fought many dangers before and put your lifes on the line. It's only natural I should risk myself too. But dont worry: I will not risk reckless and expose myself to danger. Time to deliver that Scimitars the punishment from the PUNisher itself." Heart wide smile.

Heart was startled from the sudden burst of rage from Ventus. Heart was worry, because that rage would made Ventus act reckless and even might hurt/kill himself, or cause damage to the group somehow. Besides, Heart dont need to be a telepathic person to suspect Ventus have aversity towards anything magic/mystic, like the day when theyre meet the Earthpower Wiseman. Heart decides to keep silent about Ventus burst of rage, but decided to keep a eye in any case and act if necessary. Better be prepare than sorry.

"Well people. Since we decided our course of action I think its time to move out. Lets take everything we need than continue to find the Aetherium. We can't those Scimitars go close to us or those Solosis to alert they masters. Do anything what you must to survive people." Than Heart take his amulet with the picture of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina forming some sort of symbol similar to a heart and with Arceus itself as a center of the symbol he always hide in his clothes (that might be the first time Shiva and Ventus see that amulet except Nathan) and look to him for a few seconds. "May the Creation Trio and Arceus Creator of All protect our path." Then Heart hide again before anyone ask something about that and begin to prepare his things for the dangerous task he have in mind. "Its been years since I use my stealth skills. And now these days I sharp them again. Very ironic." Heart muterred to himself.
