[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

When Tricwe is exposed to the hive gunk, she twitches all her legs at random and becomes very hyperactive. You eventually become worried she might herself banging into the marble doors of the Atheneum.

This was scary, hilarious and weird to watch all at the same time. σ(￣、￣〃) Now, a mental note is made that says that it's not much of a good idea to expose that small striped bug to that hive gunk, Shiva connects this with the remains of pheromones of this Seikamater that probably are still present within this goo. She does keep it however - maybe she could try getting Tricwe used to that gunk by constant exposure similar like a Spritzee learning to produce a new scent by constant exposure. Eh.... Bad idea, unless Shiva would want to drive Tricwe nuts. Maybe the pheromones loose their effect or at least become weaker over time for a less hyperactive reaction from the bug...

One way or the other, Tricwe is recalled into her ball before she might slam herself into the doors. In return, Luxi comes to Shiva's party again via the Time Capsule! Because now there also was time and muse and no mean Scimitars threathening to jump from the shadows of Mount Sentry's tunnels, the small Pokemon gets summoned at the spot. If it makes its appearance in the state of the jade statue, Shiva mildly touches the statue to awake the dragonfairy in order to simply spend a little time with her.

For example, Luxi gets to bath a little in the pools where all the Slowking are busy with gathering knowledge and writings, or can have the waterfall at one side of the pool clean off any dirt on her fine skin (only if the Slowking allow however). She also gets to be served only the most sweetest fruit from all the baskets lying around. In short: Luxi gets a bit of attention. Does she take food from Shiva's hand at 3/2/3 for Happiness/Loyalty/Disobediance?

"You know....", she eventually adresses that dragonfairy and tickles its green nose, "...I said that I'll come up with a nickname for you, did I? I don't name all of my Pokemon, only some when I see fit. From now on, you shall be known as Chihiro! It's a fine name that gives me a feeling of being spirited away, and one of the meaning is 'a thousand gains'. Matches how I'd like for us two to hunt for loot together, I'll probably end up abbreviating your name simply to 'Chi'. How does that sound to you, dear one?"

"It won't count, because I don't know its exact location. But I can tell you it is somewhere in the northwest of the Library, near the Healing Machine and the Delta Slowking. I seem to recall Celebi hiding it somewhere it would be comfortable...

Shiva just overhears the 'Delta' on Delta Slowking, it's probably better this way. Instantly she also glances into the direction Slaking mentiones, already reading herself to search there.... But before she goes off, she turns to noble and wise Slaking once again. "Ah. Well, thank a lot for the hint! If I happen to find it, I'll let you know unless you say that's not necessary or shouldn't be as its location should remain secret." Once more Shiva turns a bit more insecure in expression and posture, before she strengthens herself again and looks up to Slaking with an eager gleam in her eyes behind glasses. "Well, now before I head off to search it, I....wanted to bring up that One Question to you, now that we're talking anway and before you may get busy again... You mentioned upon meeting that some books may be, hmm, 'impatient'." Shiva seems to have taken this serious. "So...

Spoiler

...How do I notice that a book here in Atheneum has been waiting for me in particular, please?"

Once that has been answered by Slaking and the thanked and bowed to them in respect, she indeed heads off to the nortwest sector of the Library, and let her gaze wander over the area. Formerly she has searched EVERYWHERE, no wonder she didn't find it.... That Slowking Slaking meant was probably the one with a Steel-Type Shellder as a crown, operating the Time Capsule. ...Haha, it'd somehow make sense that the Egg would be anywhere near that, as it grants closure to other Pokemon in the methaporical way - so Shiva searches there at first before she turns every stone, book and writing between that and the Healing Machine. Azumarill can lend her a Helping Hand on the task.


--------------------
Mechanics:
Grant Luxi a bit of attention and free time, ask that One Question to Slaking and continue searching for that Egg of Celebi, now in a less wide area and with Azumarill's help. If that doesn't turn out fruitful, I'll have to stop and think again, but Shiva won't let loose until she has found that Egg.
