[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

I remind you that this carving is not old, it's not an artifact. It looks more like vandalism. Furthermore, stretching your memories way back to the Great River, you've seen this symbol before: it turned out to be the symbol of the Scimitars! Shiva for sure has seen it, and I believe she described it for Nathan. Terra hasn't seen it yet, and I don't know if Heart has seen it yet. Some Scimitars wear it on their robes, so perhaps he's had a small glimpse.

Then Heart show the picture of the sword carving to Nathan, Terra and Shiva. "Did you guys ever see such picture? I have a strange feeling of have meet before, but I dont know where...

Once ANOTHER TM - this time one in a weirdly green one - has been brought to her by Tanuki with a pleased growl, Shiva lurkes off to a dark corner to scan it with her Almanac: What it shows about the move coded on it, causes her to heavily frown and rejoice at the same time: It's Signal Beam, that's to her knowledge actually not available as a TM! Usually Move Tutors can teach this, many Pokemon have a predisposition for this move. That certainly strange, but pretty fascinating as well. "Good job, Tanuki... This will be useful for one of my Psychic Pokemon. Back into the pocket of my cloak then, will you?" The furfluffball seems happy to squirm back in there to nimble at the cookie Master has given her, leaving crumbles everywhere.

Hey, if I'd give Tanuki the TM of Signal Beam to hold or sniff, could she actually find one more exemplar or yet another TM with Electromagnet Ability? Just thought...


Shiva seems busy and concentrated on the puzzle with the feline features, but as Heart calls her to him to look at something among the others, she eventually trots over to see what's so important or interesting. Once having given him all the info she knows, she'll go back to the puzzle to solve it, asking to give her a little more than 10 minutes.

Kneeing down she investigates that strange sign Heart points out, go, the fae enthusiast musters it with growing discomfort before something in her mind began to ring as sharply as a Soundboosted Screech: She has seen this symbol already, definitely! It's so long ago, almost at the beginning of the journey, but she remembers it crystalclear.

She gets up, backs off, flinches away from the sign in faint terror and fear, Delphox eventually catches her and has her back - all while not taking her eyes from that pesksy pesky sign... "Heart... Yes, I've seen it before. I'm sure. That was... Somewhere on Route 1, we were traveling, when a wild Murkrow lead me to a very strange place where exactly that symbol was carved in the sand." She even made a photo of it back then, but as her cell got fried in Mount Sentry and she had no chance to transfer photos to the new cell Golda send her, she unfortunately can't show it to the group now. :C

"That's most likely the symbol of the Scimitars... Earth ones? Yes, it... can only be that." She fell in grim silence.
