[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Huuuuhhh, it was very intriguing and to some degree even a little scary for her to move normally in real time while the shack itself was somehow under the effect of slowed time. Ver carefully, she even touches a piece of wood/brick/whatever it is build off that seems to 'fall' but never manage to hit the ground.

What delights her even more however are of course the Apricorn Bushes! Must be a weird hybrid or the effects of Atheneum that cause several kinds/colors growing on one bush. She will stay outside the shack, right here with the lake, the bushes and Gothitelle+Cottonee after having taken a look inside the shack and at the statue of Uxie, but she herself is not too interested in approaching it. I'll assume that she is able to hear what Nathan discusses with it concerning a mysterious Red Chain from her place outside though unless GM says that she can't. Means, she gains the basic in-chara knowledge of this Red Chain, just in case.

Concerning him holding a more alive-looking Solosis, Shiva casts it a wondering look - huh, so Celebi was indeed able to bring it back to life. How delightful for the smal creature! Please don't expect Shiva to start caring for it now, however.


Let's see... Nathan can have the Red Apricorns for sure, I don't want them. However, Shiva will be overly protective over the Green ones and wishes to keep them both to herself, hmmmpf! (They were on my wishlist also!) They're considered extinct in the wild and can be crafted into a Ball she definitely wishes to have for selected Pokemon of hers, solely for conversation efforts she will not hand one to Ventus. I'm sorry, dear! (Source)

I also am not quite sure how we shall share and split up the rest, if at all. First come first served, and practically only me an Nathan showed interest in the Apricorns in the current location. Therefor, I actually would like to claim 1 Pink one and 1 Yellow one for Shiva additionally to the 2 Green ones, and leave the remaining ones (2 Blue, 1 Pink, 2 White, 1 Yellow) to the others to pick if they like, I don't want to be greedy and pick them ALL with the intention to share only to discover none is interested in them. You should come to the shack and pick them by yourself if interested, alright @Lord Windos, @Nylon, @Spiritmon?

The Apricorns Shiva plucks from the bush are very carefully placed into the wooden crate where she already keeps Cottonee's fluff and some cut *Tall Grass from earlier, she also spends a little of time watering the bushes with Azumarill's Water Sport.

Before Nathan gets the answer to his more detailed questions concerning this elusive Red Chain, Shiva also pop in only to let Nathan know "I'll make my way into Atheneum itself then. You can certainly get along by yourself and it itches me to enter and discover what lies behind the marble door, alright? We may see one another later then."

Despription of the place remains likely the same, but does anything in particular happen when Shiva enters Atheneum alongside Gothy that I need to consider or react to, @Iron? Please let me know before I get to type up what she does in there, just in case.

When Shiva glances at Solosis on the way there, Nathan makes one comment: "...they're only 'dead' if you give up on them.  And there's no reason to do that if there are known ways to save them.  They found a way in Orre, we can find a way here, so I am not going to give up."

Sounds like he's made up his mind on the topic now.  Shiva could press Nathan for more details on what he means exactly if she wishes, I suppose...

-------------------------------------------

As far as the Apricorns go, Nathan will pick all the ones Shiva doesn't.  Nathan will share if Heart or Valder are interested (you can say which ones you want OOC, @Spiritmon and @Nylon. Windos already said Ventus almost certainly won't want these Apricorns), but I'll think of something to use them for later if not.  Raw Apricorns are great and all, but only if you can figure out what you'll use them for...

------------------------------------------

When Shiva pops in to say she's headed for the Library, Nathan comments without turning around since he's focused on the important task at hand.  "If you see Valder and/or Heart while in the Library, let them know I'll be there soon, please."

Back to taking notes he goes.
