[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

In a respectful distance but close enough to show that she's paying attention (one or two steps away), Shiva all calmly listened as the wise and wild Slowking shared its lyrics with them all. But not only that, she was also recordings its sayings (except the first one as it came unexpected, but she can easily remember the four lines) with her cell so that the group can rehear them if necessary. If Slowking reacts or objects, she'll friendlily tell it that she's doing that exactly for this purpose and that there is nothing to fear. There never is to it from her side.

She frowns at the messages, puts the curiosity that this Pokemon SPEAKS aside as that's not prominent now. But...there is a definite hint of interest and enlightment in her gaze as she musters the wise Water-Psychic Type. When it has finished, she raises her voice towards it once more, speaking to it all calmly and softly, an elusive ting cloaking her words. "I thank thee for your insight and information, wise and old Slowking. Yes... I think I can understand now to a degree what this.......VEIL will likely be. We'll meet the Stone that you describe as the Gauntlet first, then pass this Veil and are forever changed before we'll be.......there. Secrets of life, you say....." She bows to the Slowking.

When she rises again, she faces it with a small, but definitely warm smile (despite the cold) and holds non-intimidatingly eye contact for a little longer than normal before she speaks up once more: " Forever changed... More than human... Know that my mind is open and that I'll welcome this change with figurative open arms. If Atheneum calls for us, then I cannot and WILL not deny its call, but follow it till the end." Her gaze intuitively wandered to her chosen partner, an older Sociologist/@Lord Windos, and it remained fixated on him as she just looked him rather deep into the eyes. No fear was within hers. She has decided...and can't take this decision back anymore. Change, enlightment, being more that she is is what this fae enthusiast desires. She does utterly understand that Ventus himself may be opposed to it - but the question is that if his most dear and closest person is so determined and does not react to his stiffness of voice that she unmistakably picks up, is he willing to give this 'change' a chance? No change and no other happening can rip these two, enthusiast of fairies and nature and seeker for a better bond between human and Pokemon, apart anymore, that he should know. She'll ALWAYS stay by his side, and subtly expects the same from him. He won't be........alone. 

"I'm having....some remaining questions to you, wise king of all Slowpoke and Slowbro.....if you allow." Before she'll ask them however, she's beckoning Valder/@Nylon to please come closer. "First... Am I right in the assumption that we'll have to prove our rightfulness, our determination, ourselves worthy of reaching our destiny in one last and final act against any forces the Secret Library may show to us? Guardians.... I cannot believe that it has no direct ones. Second, how will we...KNOW that we have passed the Veil or are close to it, WILL we notice it in some way? Change is a fluctuating thing, but I wish to experience it with all that is possible. Last..." She shares a quick glance at Valder. "He here has once spoke and shown us some symbols, runes even, that I am not only taking as some sort of keys to our destination, but have also practiced drawing myself. But how....will we know where to inscribe them into?"

(Oh, right... @Dragonstrike, don't you want to, well, give Slowking his tail back? It likely can't just magically reaffix it, but I'd guess it'd be a nice act or worth trying anyway. Just asking!)
