[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Morgusi is only famous in Creshire, but he's known in other regions as well to people who are interested in that sort of thing. Very little information about him reaches those distant places, though. And his true cards never ever make it that far.

(Ah, then I'll go by Shiva never having heard of him before coming to Creshire as she got into into the TCG here.)




Nope, Morgusi answering her question doesn't do a thing to distract Shiva from her obvious nervousness, she's even having a very hard time to really look at him when he speaks. Her picking up that he's watching Raphael hovering beside her does a fine job to increase it even more! She seems to subliminally tremble of excitement and delight however with a slight smile developing in her vivid blush after that weird shiver caused by the.... the unmistakable sense of power within his words has passed. Somehow she feels sure that this man here was....how to describe it at best...? Special? No, that feels like an understatement... Extraordinary? Maybe. More than human??! What a curious thought.

Raphael himself probably notices being watches as well, he seems to like the attention though. He ruffles his feathercoat a little  and tries to give himself as graceful as possible. Aww!

His wording ives her indeed a rather odd feeling, but she also quite enjoys what he has to share about observation, especially the part about the slight changes in everyday's life due to what Pokemon far away do. She was about to ask (if she'd dare) how he is able to gain the inspiration and source from Pokemon that have barely to no chances to show up here in Cress City, even if brought by a Trainer. It almost gives her headaches to think about why he speaks that way, though at the same tome she can't help the dreamy sparkle in her eyes and to eagerly nod. "Y.....Yes, I see! H-how you...are inspired for the....act of painting by-by observing things. Ah...... B-but... I-if I may ask, w-what would be an e-example for these slight changes in life due...due to the antics of faraway P...pokemon? I-I... would be happy to...keep an eye on these as well... Sounds so...beautiful. I....it's saddening that one day none w-will....create such precious..... artworks for cards an-anymore."

Speaking about keeping an eye, are there any hints to own Pokemon here in the room or around? Any pet Pokemon or so? That's something that quite interests Shiva as well, such a huge house for oneself..!

It takes Shiva all the willpower and strength she can scratch up to ask the following also at some point later, probably around the time they're preparing to leave again. In fact, with a visibly shivering hand she offers a card depicting an Oddish to Morgusi. "Would you.... I-I mean, would it be okay for you to.... to sign this card for me? It's my...very first one... I won't tell or show a-a....anybody and keep it o-only for myself."

He signs your card without thinking. +$2000 to its value, just like that. Of course, then you'd have to part with it...

*rolls Alert*

Shiva doesn't see any sign of any pet Pokemon at all. She even gets a good luck at Morgusi's belt and sees no Pokeballs there.

"When a Beautifly flaps its wings in Corsage Port, that has implications for the weather in Charring Cross. And when Heatran stirs himself in the depths of Mt. Molten, perhaps a Teddiursa goes off the trail, and scares a Picnicker, who ventures south instead of north, and buys a flower from a little girl in Cress City, and she and her smile pass under my window in the rain. That is all part of Heatran's journey, and I would need to know it before I could make a true painting of him."
