[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"No, I'm positive I have never had this happen before. I would know. I think this might be above my paygrade, so to speak, aha, but I'll keep researching it and maybe send some of these oscillators along to Professor Laurelin. Don't worry, they are fairly cheap to replace. Quartz is one of the most common minerals on the planet, although it has to be specially prepped through a cheap industrialized process."

"Professor Laurelin? Who's that and what do they specialize in, if I may ask? I only know of Professor Mallorn in this region."

"... I know, it's neat how such a pretty mineral is actually so common, haha." Relatively quick however, Shiva gains a thoughtful expression mixed with a bit shyness as if she wasn't too sure whether it's fine to ask the following or whether it's a good idea at all - but while she now has a suspicion where these lurchs from and this clockmaker is directly affected by them (unwillingly, but still), she thinks that maybe it's alright? She's curious about these lurches, much - though they also give her shivers and anxiety. There's a will within the fae enthusiast to find out more however, she cannot know yet where this will develop and it can only be good to be prepared in case it gets worse or more drastic. H.....Hopefully it, well, doesn't rerail and Pokemon and humans get directly hurt or injured by this...phenomena....!

She nods in agreement of their (the clockmaker - do they actually have a name?) eager to research what has caused this error to the clocks before speaking up again after a small break. "Would you, ehm, mind to stay in contact? I'd enjoy to, and I feel a little...responsible for all this trouble.... We could update each other if we find out more about this or note one another about it, I'd let you know if I stumble over hints what may have happened. Am traveling, so....maybe? Please?"

"I know Mallorn, too. He's more about technology. She's more about biology, actually. So it may sound like I'm sending this to the wrong professor, except Lorellin also studies archaeology, history, cloning, Legendary Pokemon, and Time. She may be able to discover if some kind of Pokemon affected this clock. Now, Mallorn could tell me what has changed about the oscillator, but I already know that, right? So it goes to Laurelin. Plus, she lives in Cress City and works at the Museum. Easy."

"Yes ma'am, we can exchange numbers. My tag is Ivy - IV, get it?" He points to the number "four" on one of his clocks with Roman Numerals. "I'll call you if I learn anything from Laurelin."
