[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

The sociologist hesitate for a brief moment, before asking them: "......Is there anything I could do to free you from such an ornous burden, and help you move on? Or at least provide you some form of comfort as you travel these tunnels, if I or the others of my group can't help."

"Ventus...normally my men and I are slain whenever the Sableye find us. We die our gruesome deaths over and over. Disemboweled by shadows. Our bones gnawed by sharp teeth. Our bodies wasting away, dwindling, and starvation taking us even as our flesh fills the Sableye. 

You have provided more comfort this day than we could ever wish for. It is enough."


His brother pipes up. "There ain't nothing to be done for us specters. We know we shall wander these tunnels, until the world changes. Excerskisms, in-scents, true names, they ain't every worked and they never shall. We thank you for offering, though."

*Flashback!*

Ventus expression grows grim as he hears they typical fate of Captain Bridge and his men, and the brother's kindly dashing any hopes left him feeling hollow and forloan. However, he refused to let him be crippled by the horribleness that was their geas and demoralize them in the process, instead offering them a solemn nod and staring each and every soldier in the eye, his own filled with hopeful determination for them all.

This naturally lead to his others comments, and the only possible advice/aid (The Songs and Poetry) he could offer the men.

*Flashback End!*

"The songs of Captain Bridge's men are legendary. We had little else to do while we waited for starvation and shadow to take us. We shall try your idea, though I expect we may be beyond such things. It cannot hurt. We shall leave you now. The sight of my gift brings unpleasant memories."

He cups Shedinja in his palms and places the weird bug on the wall. He and his men salute one last time and vanish as mist rises up again.

He watched the doomed soldiers fade away from sight, returning their salute with a crisp one of his own as he gave one last farwel to them all.

"Stand tall, my friends. May you all find salvation somday....."

While Azumaril and Michael were busy removing the boulder from Captain's Bridge treasure trove, Ventus approach the Shedinja , looking both anxious and hopeful as he address them, crossing a arm on his chest and bowing his head.

"Shedinja, I would like to thank you for the good word you offered for my shake, for if it wasn't for that I have no doubt Captain Bridge or his men would not have look so kindly upon all of us. Now, I have you know I have been pursuing you since we first 'meet' , as I have an ardent interest in you and your species. The later is because so little is known about Shedinja, and the former.....well, I simply feel a connection between us since I am in some way responsible for your very existence. So I would like to ask......would you be willing to join my family? I promise that I will take great care of you like the rest of my Pokémon, and will accept you wholy and completely regardless of any nebulous qualities you posses. What do you say, Shedinja?"

Order: Give one last good bye to Bridge and Co, and then ask if Shedinja is willing to join Ventus's team/family. Simple said, and hopefully simple done.
