[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Oh... Shiva would have not expected that all their enjoyable talking on the way to the field with Berry Bushes Terra has pointed out would go into THAT direction, with 'that' being the romantic relationship between her and his boss. E-especially not after she tried to express that this was sensitive terrain to enter by giving off and impression of 'enough said', but mentally Shiva facepalmed heavily, soft-scolding herself for her own dumbness to miss out what she should have known: That mountainous man would almost certainly not pick up that subtle hint, eeeekkk! Indeed, she has get used and adapt to that trait of the newest party member at first. First step's done already though, things are going well!

She...hadn't really anything to add or even say when he opened up about his thoughts, spoke so easily about how he feels that the moody fae enthusiast currently accompanying him and the erratic Pokemon Sociologist aka his boss make a match made in heaven and hell - even being so blatantly certain about this! All it caused within Shiva was a massive wave of embarassement mixed up with very warm feelings towards that particular empathic oddball, which manifested itself into a rather bright blush that she tried hardest to hide from Terra as she mustered the path or the surroundings on her side instead of him as he talked. Cottonee however, was all too amused by seeing her Master like that and chuckled to herself almost constantly.

WHEN he finished speaking, Shiva eventually did face him, but one moment later she (playfully) ended up punching his arm in the means of 'What are you talkin' about?!' "That's... rather cute that you think that way, thank you...for the words~", that was meant honestly and emphasized with a dear smile, "But...please keep it for yourself, alright? It was and still is Ven's sentiment to not reveal our bond towards the others of the group, and I'd wish to...keep it secret actually as well... Like, there's no good reason to share, and it's not THAT uncommon for young people finding each other during longer journeys. So.... Okay?" *mildly worried stare at him while the blush is still rather present, things will probably calm as soon as being reassured on the secrecy*


Phew, after that's been dealt with silence reigns for a little that Shiva uses to cool down a bit, all while Cottonee STILL kept up a happy expression over her Master being flustered. Always worth experiencing for the prankful fluffball! At his further confusion over Shiva's explanation of an archetype, she ended up rubbing the back of her head in lack of more and proper words of explanation. Eventually, "Ah... Don't feels sorry for not getting, try think about it too much maybe, it's more like a philosophical thing! I don't really know how to explain it further either, I'm sorry for that... Maybe encountering one in books or along the way by chance would help...? I'll let you know when I stumble over an example."


Terra's confession that he actually didn't know which Pokemon Type was his fave or prefered one was met with a curious look from the side by Shiva, before she almost got lost in thought again over his words. She also gave an encouraging nod when being asked whether 'motivations' was the right word. "That's quite a thing as well, tough Pokemon.... Something in the direction of Herdier or Rufflet?" If asked what kind of Pokemon these are, Shiva ends up showing him some pictures of each kind in a thick book she'll draw from her belongings. "They're both known for their strong will, though this will shows in a different way for these two: In case of Herdier, more in an eager to loyally help a Master it respects in anything possible - Rufflet is much more agressive and keen to pick up fights with anything due to its eager to become stronger. They can be troublesome to handle from my experience - but it's definitely what I'd call tough." She smiles mildly to herself. Oh yes, from what she believes Pokemon of such a caliber do fit well to him!


(I don't have anything more to add concerning Terra Time, so I'd be fine to conclude this part then unless he asks something detailed or such. I'll reply to the Genie Part tomorrow then!~)

Due to my computer deciding it would be funny to delete almost HALF my last post before I had he chance to save it, I will be doing this part in bullet point form. God damn it Microsoft.

- Terra doesn't really understand why Shiva is blushing or Cottenee is having a laughing fit, looking/feeling both concerned and rather confused by the turn of events. He would have attempted to reach over to check her character's temperature to see if she was sick (as flushed checks and strange behavior are certainly signs of sickness!), but is stopped by Shiva punching him (which bounces off like a ping pong ball against a stone wall).

- He becomes less concerned but more curious/mystified at the fae lady's response, initially saying something along the lines of 'Your welcome, but not sure why you are thanking me, or think what I said was cute,' before moving on to state that Ven said it was okay to speak with her (Shiva) about their relation to cheer her up/make her more joyful when necessary/just because. Finally, he then rubs the back of his head in embarrassment/self disappointment for 'upsetting' Shiva, and then solemnly promises not to bring up the topic again.

- Any confusion/lack of Insight surrounding the word Archtype is almost immediately put out of his mind when Shiva tells him not to worry about it, as if its not important enough that he has to learn all about the topic right now, it can be safely forgotten until later (or forever!).

- Finally, he's grateful for the encouragement/confirmation of his choice of words, but is left both curious and thoughtful by her own fascination with his lack of favorite Types/particular sub-Types of Pokémon. Obviously he asks more about the Unovian Pokémon (Since they are completely unknown to him), and afterwards he mulls things over long enough to require he stroke his beard in thought, then answers the mystical lass by confirm that Herdier/Rowlet were the type of Pokémon he likes, but he doesn't want either of them on his team. His reasoning for this is that he already has a good doggie in Melly, a 'Flying' type in Genie, and generally doesn't like most Flying types due to their common weakness either being compounded or accentuated by most types (Though not so complexly stated). He does thank her for bringing them up, though!

That should be it for Terra's Time, unless/until Phantom gets back to responding to it! I'll move on to Genie's Time when I can muster up the enthusiasm for it, as having you post halfway deleted kills the motivation to write for a bit....
