[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."

A Professor specializing in biology sounds like an interesting person to meet and talk to, in the same breath Shiva is pretty amazed how many field of research Professor Laurelin has. Such versality, bet she's always busy with something! o.o She perks up at hearing that 'Time' also belongs to her interest. "Ohh, sounds like a good choice! Humm, I've been at the Museum but haven't seen a Professor there." Though while Shiva doesn't speak that out, she strongly believes that this is simply because she didn't visit the Section she's dedicated to.

'Ivy'... 'IV'... Pokemon Breeding!~ - That was her initiate thought, how this name is directly related to the clock only comes second. She chuckles lightly over such an ideal name for a clockmaker as they exchange numbers. :>  "Yes, I'd be happy about you calling! I'll let you know as well if I find something that could be related."

Weird, weird, very weird. Now that the fae enthusiast does have an idea what's behind these scary lurches it was as if they lost a bit of their horror - but she's highly wondering how big Celebi's role is in this phenomena. Involved - definitely if she could believe her gut feeling, but how deeply she's in this and whether the lurches are something truely troublesome or nothing more than a curious natural phenomena Shiva could only guess. Maybe...only maybe, this all was even a good sign in the means of 'Celebi returned to Cress City??'

Overthinking won't bring her far, so for now she thankfully bids goodbye to the clockmaker Ivy. "Until then! Thank you a lot for your time, I look forward to hear from you again or message/call you myself."


With that said and done, today's visit of the Violet Tent finds an end, Shiva has stopped to count how often she's dwelled at this place already. After inhaling some fresh air and stretching her arms, she makes her way back to the Center - mostly to accept Yena back and wait for Nathan as they agreed to start tutoring Electro Web today, this will take her last free Encounter Slot as well as one of his.

What time of the day is it by now however? Since Nathan's still busy though, I guess I can do something in the Center that won't take an Encounter to pass the time - if I may.
