[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Spritzee is very enamored by the scent of the Enigma Berry. She tries to eat it! Of course, Shiva doesn't let her. Spritzee does naturally like the rain's scent.

Chi begins a Lucky Chant, perching over the edge of the table. She squees "Mmmm!!!" as she eats her portion of the berry - a surprise to Shiva, because her third tastes the way a Poochyena smells.

Actually if Spritzee does enjoy the smell of the enigmatic Berry THAT much, Shiva gladly lets her have a slice to snack it, but not the whole Berry. It's probably just as big as tiny Spritzee to begin with!

I don't really get what the sentence I marked in green italic means though, can you rephrase that a little? Or does it simply mean that my Luxi's taste is very selective and sensitive?

Shiva's Berry tastes bad. Luxi's Berry seems to taste good! So Shiva is surprised to see the same berry tastes different for different characters.

Spritzee doesn't react as much to eating it, but she's mostly savoring it.

Spoiler

Oh, and you roll for the species of Pokemon but not for what is rare about it? Huh, I've believed both will be rolled out from the given detailed mechanics here. But it's fine, a *Zigzagoon appearing was all I asked for!

Nothing happens right away, but as Shiva waits two hours near the picnic table, here comes a wandering Zigzagoon! It zigs over to the BBQ pit, zags over to a dropped sammich under a leaf - both of which disappears into its exceptionally soft-looking fur - then ambles over to the picnic table near Shiva! Oh, it looks so soft, except for the spiky endings to each clump of that luxurious hair. And under its belly, no zigzags at all, just fluff! He's picking up a lot of dew as he goes.

Le message:
Hey everyone! Heart here. Just to ask how you guys are doing? Any news to tell? I dont have much to say: I strengh my bonds with Alphonse, my Hypno, and caugh a nice Ambipom. With some nice strong moves. The Silk Scarf gonna be useful later. And teach a new strong Dragon Move for Koa, Dragon Claw![

Also Shiva, I hope you dont mind I have make something to light the mood later Shiva. I prepare some snacks since I suspect its gonna be serious. I make Mind Tea Punch. Good thing to make someone relax and heal the stress. And some Salad Fruits with cream. Nothing to much fancy, just enough to be a light dinner when we meet. If you want join Terra, you should come. There is much food for everyone! Human and Pokemon.

Shiva's definitely content enough to indeed linger at that picnic table for two hours, waiting for anything being lured by the smell of the Berry in excited anticipitation. She's passing the time by casually playing with Chi and Dizzy, stroking through Spritzee's soft pink featherly fluff and browing her Almanac a little (she doesn't dare to start playing Pokemon Tetris however, as she fears to miss something around her if she does) and simply chillaxing after that tirering battle against dear Tanuki. After roughly one hour most of her eager excitement has faded and got replaced with patient calmness, though she keeps an eye open for any Pokemon appearing non-stop.

She notices a new message on her cell as she checks time and weather forecast at some point, this time she's not dissappointed over seeing 'ArcHeart' as the sender as she knows that Ven's busy with his research. This doesn't prevent her from thinking of him though with a mildly wishful smile.

The reply she sends to Heart reads the following.

Nice to hear from you, Heart; and nice that you wer able to spend the day well.

I don't mind snacks at all, and would never say no to a decent tea. Good thinking! Yes, please them to the meeting in my current dorm, as I'm feeling coming together to snack afterwards will be difficult.

Until later then; greetings!~ o/

(What salad fruits with cream are though, Shiva has no idea, but fruits sound fine and good on its own already.)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Though when that Zigzagoon appeared - ALL attention the empathic fae enthusiast can scratch together gets focused on it. With a radient smile of joy and 'I knew it!' she watches its steps, blatantly failed to hide that squeal of delight that escaped her as the ziggy racoon came into her direction. Eeeee!

"Well, hello furry one!" she greets it as it was within reach, "Or should I say fluffy one?" With utmost care she extends one hand to allow Zigzagoon sniff on it, probably smells like a mixture of Enigma Berry and Pokemon. She's also taking care that none of her currently present Pokemon (just Chi and Spritzee) nor Dizzy nor she herself accidently scare that Zigzagoon away by sudden movements. "You've came just to the right time, I was just about to share some sweet fruit one of my Pokemon grows between us all. You'd like to join us for a snack? You can also dry your...SPLENDIDLY looking fur a little on this towel." *strokes over the one spread out on the picnic table as an improvised tea cloath*

Shiva does not openly or directly show it, but this Zigzagoon interests and fascinates her GREATLY, it's so adorable!! So.... So... She actually didn't know how to describe it, but there's a strong desire within her to stroke that fine fur and get her OT and ID on this particular Zigzagoon, similar like it was in Yena's case. So strong that she is paying extra caution to whatever it does, making sure to not miss a clue on the furry-fluffy Ziggy in order to react/respond accordingly - she gains her 3rd point in Empathy Speciality now for 12xp. One day she'll be just as intimidating and alluring, but for now the sentiments of deeper and more successful interactions come first for her.

Insight+Empathy: (6)(4)(2)(1)(2)(1*) (6)(4)(2) = 4 successes
Will is only 4: (2)(6)(5)(2)

The little goon rolls over and over on the towel, connecting a bunch of his (?) fur to it. He startles off into the woods, towel still attached with static cling!

Shiva calls out to it, and it runs back...this time, bearing a new towel in addition to the original! Guess Zigzagoon celebrates towel day.

What fruit do you have to share? You sense Zigzagoon is hoping for a specific fruit, but he's going to be pleased no matter what fruit you share.
