[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Duskull puts a hand under his chin. Hmm...

After a moment's pondering, he holds his arms out in opposite directions, a dramatic pose. Duskull definitely has something in mind, but it's going to take a man of more insight than Terra has to understand these charades. (Maybe a Ghost expert?)

As to be expected, Terra's completely clueless as to what the spooky specter wants in exchange for their jolly cooperation, but he does know this: they're indeed willing to give it (and by extension, him and their other partners) a chance. Its a slight, begrudging one, yet never the less its still a chance, and he's not going to let it go!

...Once he figure out what exactly Duskull wants. Given that the mountain of a man had a hard enough time trying to understand Mikey, a fully bipedal and MUCH more demonstrative Pokémon, deciphering the meaning of the floating blob of ectoplasm would be.....hard. Too hard for him, most likely.

'Hm....what is Duskull saying he wants? To be......bigger? More....respected? …..Ugh.....not sure. Need to think harder. Or find.....someone to help me......understand him.'

It was during this brief bit of brainstorming that he remembered a couple of things. First, something which, at the time, seemed insignificant or only a passing curiosity: Heart had a Golet, which he had later looked up to be a Ground/Ghost type, and a Trevenant, as Grass/Ghost type. While he can't say for the tree spirit relationship with the collector, the smol golem seemed to get along well with them from what he briefly saw of the two together, so maybe...…

'......Heart could help me. Understand Duskull, and give me.....advice to bond with them better? Hm.....yes. Will go ask him later. If he can't help me.....'

...and the second being none other than Chuckles, a individual that had the dubious honor of being one of a few beings capable of legitimately scaring and creeping him the fuck out. His....encounter and battle with the grim Gym Leader was anything but.....pleasant, and it certainly left an impact on him….

'*Internally Shudder*....Will have to go ask them for help. Don't want to....but I will. For Duskull, I will....'

All of this pondering was happened in the span of a couple of minutes, though it probably seemed to be ages longer for the spooky specter, given he was being stared down by three very menacing figures, one of which may or may not be the same Pokémon that KOed it in the first place!

Finally, Terra let out a small sigh, dialing back on his seriousness/Intimidation and regards his ghoulish ghost with a small half smile.

"Thank you, Duskull. For giving me a chance. ...Don't know what you want, though. Have a hard time.....understanding others. But. But I know people who can. Tell me what you want.....and show you how strong partnership can be. One person is named Heart. Has two strong Ghost Pokémon that get along with him. Maybe he could help me get you what you want. *Beat* …Would you like to meet him?"
