[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

"Yes, Nathan. You could say that. A good painting is little more than directions to a real entity. Turn left on Cress Street, take Water Street north, behave in such a way, tilt your head just so, perform such and such an animation, and there you have it! You're a Skarmory!!"

While Morgusi is watching Lovely perform, Nathan's pulled the birthday card out of his bag and is looking at the picture of the FLYing Skarmory veeerrry carefully...scratches, chinks in the armor, the general shape of various body parts...how similar does the depicted Skarmory look to Marco's, if at all?

-------------------

Of course, as soon as Keni Morgusi offers to paint cards of their rare pokemon for every member of the party, Nathan looks up in pure, unfiltered astonishment that surpasses even Terra's.

He doesn't know what to say at first.

But he does know which pokemon he wants Mr. Morgusi to depict in a card.  However...

"...that...that would be amazing, Mr. Morgusi.  A huge honor.  The pokemon I have in mind, though...well, would it be possible for you to do one depicting Mesprit?  I have another one in mind if not, but..."

It'd mean a lot to Nathan if he could see Mesprit happy and free.  He hopes the Embodiment of Emotion is, wherever it's gone...maybe Morgusi will be able to convey that.  Maybe.
