[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

By no means is Shiva good at climbing and all the adrenaline will likely not help her keeping herself in the ropework, so unless Ventus insists on hiding up there, she'll drag him behind a massive pile of books because if they need to defend themselves, Shiva's Psychic Types can utilize them as projectiles (via Psyshock, Telekinesis and a Double Team-Kinesis-Combo) to use the moment to either fight back or escape.

(...) He looks in the direction of the earth-scimitars, wondering what to do. Blast some fire in their faces for good measure?

Seeing how Valder gazes at them in wonder, Shiva unintentionally joins, trying to figure out from the previous run-ins with Scimitars to which element they've belonged. (I'm not quite sure whether she can, maybe by the simply color of their robes? EDIT: Ah, deep blue... She'd guess these are Water Scimitars.) Rather quietly and serious, she asks Valder whether "...You seem to know things about them we don't, Valder... Maybe once, when being back at the surface, you can tell/teach me how to recognize their 'element' by looking at them as well... There are more elements than Water and Earth. Could you?"

Heart it's not any kind of leader. He never was. But he always a person who can't handle see a friend (human or Pokemon) be in problems. Heart approach Shiva with a respectful manner and spoke. "Shiva, there are times when the world try to take you down and discouraged you putting danger in the path. It's times like this we must endured ourselves and go fowarfo no matter what. Hope it's the first thing to born. We must remain with faith and pray to those Scimitars not come. But in case they come...we have the choice of run or fight. We will survive. If the choice will run we will run, and if our choice be fight, well..."

Heart make a determined face and smile. "I will fight. If there is no other option. It's because my ancestor was a knight, but because that's my choice. I will do my best to stop those Scimitars, and I will use all my strength for that. And you Shiva? What you wish more than anything?"

Shiva has become something like the inofficial leader due to being able to stay mostly calm in serious situations and keep the group together in times of conflict, so she opts to not let her massive fear and worry overwhelm and paralyze her. She needs to remain strong and able to decide pragmatically - she just HAS to. She WANTS to. Ventus' closure and the two Lucky Chants from her Pokemon help a lot in that.

That determined and smile from Heart however - she didn't like it AT ALL. Not a single bit, she only looks at him in shock and shakes her head with force, messing up her hair even more. "You sure you want that? One against like 50, and 50 SCIMITARS even. Heart, that doesn't just border to suicide, that IS suicide. And not a pleasant one even, I.... I...don't want to imagine what they'd all do with you if you try to fight them. Please, don't do anything that you might regret later.... But... do what you feel is right."

Concerning what she wishes more than anything, Shiva doesn't directly answer that right now: At least not in words. Nope, in response to this question from Heart she strengths herself in posture and mimic and squeezes Ven's hand a little more.
