Another big Original Post

'It is not fake - it is make-believe!~' is something I can totally imagine Shiva saying.

Simply because it contains the small word 'hero' it'd tickle her interest one way or the other. But now that (if allowed) has picked up that book and pages a little through it, she gasps a little before she looks back at the Librarian. "E...excuse me, where did you got this book from and...how much would it cost? I know someone who......." *maybe it's not too wise to share that one in the group has evolved his Pawniard with the neat nickname into the white figurine*....who would like this book." (Look, @Nylon, I found a possible gift for you, unless it'll cost me an arm and a leg.)


Humm. I'd guess the Apricorn seedlings are the most interesting thing due to long-term investment and having the knowledge to grow them healthily, but can it be determined which kind Apricorns ( =which color) they'd bear eventually? Or can I even choose?

But before that: Does the owner/vendor allow Shiva to try that full witch outfit once just for see how she'd look? C: Wearing THIS and having Delphox or Lilith or Yena by her side she'd certainly catch the eyes of people (and her group companions, lolz), but for now she's trying to figure out how SHE feel. Or WHETHER she 'feels' anything while wearing this cool costume. "Oh hey, do you want to try on the hat once, Raphael? Don't tell Ventus - poor one would get a heart attack." Melancholy washes over her face and emotions upon realizing that.


'F...first techincal society...? *rattle rattle* ...AH! The paintings at the Candelabra, right!' remembering them, Shiva smiled a little before a spectral candelabra appeared behind her, spooked her massively and unbalanced Ventus..... Again it shows unintentionally that the oddball of a researcher is still vivid in her mind ._. "The first technical society?" That's spoken out now. "If I remember correctly, he found this somewhere on Route 4. Was this society spread all over Chresire before their...'Fall'? Did they 'fall' with King Sarimanok?" He seems to be vivid and almost omnipresent as well. "But, ehm... It's been a gift by a dear person, I wouldn't really wish to part with it."

Librarian: "If you wanted to own that book, it would be $250. I also let people pull up a stool and read right here in the booth, though the lighting isn't perfect."

The Hero seems to be a human Pokemon Trainer - he has a full party of six, three Steel types and three Psychic types.  He goes on a journey using the magical powers of his armor, made from "long-dead Pokemon" and carrying some of their powers forward.

Nurseryman: The Apricorn seedlings would be random. After two months you'd know what color they are.

Dressmaker: "Oh yes, oh yes, you simply must try it on! It will look wonderful on you! Look, there is a dressing room at that end of the tent; this is why I chose to locate my booth here!"

Clockmaker: "The FTS looong precedes Sarimanok. Even the first Kings don't really overlap with the FTS, I believe. But yes, they spread all over Creshire, particularly in the mountains where they could mine things. It is believed they had a massive stronghold north of Mt. Sentry."

Humm, that's practically one handcrafted plushie by her, and she's currently far from broke. Like, faaaar. ...Before she ends up overthinking and later regretting to buy something that caught her eye, Shiva sends a light smile to the traveling Librarian and slids the 250$ over. "I'll take it, please." Will show it to Valder at a good opportunity.

This doesn't decrease Shiva's interest in the Apricorn seedlings in the slightest. "Random, huh?" (That means you'll roll for it, Iron?) "If you can tell me how to care for these properly or anything else I should keep in mind, we're on a good way to a deal. Marowak's somewhat disobediant, but some good training and given time should be able to teach him manners."

Aaaaawww, that means an instant U-Turn to that dressing room with that witch's outfit, regardless whether she'll buy it or not. A slight shame that neither Lilith, magical fox nor Cottonee are with her right now to see, and none of her Pokemon's having real 'hands' to take a picture for posperity. (Maybe the dressmaker will) Shiva's still keeping her senses and mind open, so she's certainly 'feel' something if this outfit is more than fabric.

"A stronghold north of Mount Sentry? Up THERE? Whoahw. Are there any...reliable reports about them and what they've mined or so, do you happen to know? And may I maybe call you if I end up lucky and find more of such artefacts? I'm also staying in contact with a herbalist here in the tent, so coming over from time to time can work as well."
