[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Ah, the Purify Chamber. That is a potentially neutral PC application. I can definitely add this to my list of projects!" He's excited. "I know just who to contact...well, you can't have too many apps!"

"But hold up. Celebi? Celebi healed your Solosis? That might explain the lurches...did you interact with one of my Time Capsules after meeting Celebi? Could you be part of a stable time loop? ...or going through an unstable one?... or maybe even part of a glitch in reality? What all interactions with Celebi did you have?"

"...weeeeeellll...I'm thinking that might be related, yes...thanks for helping, by the way.  Definitely go talk to Dagny about the Purify Chamber thing.  But try to keep it quiet.  We don't need the Scimitars...and possibly Almanac...catching on that we're working on this.  Don't need them trying to forcibly stop the project like Cipher tried to do with the Purify Chamber and Agate Village's Relic Stone.  And we don't need the public panicking, either..."

"...*ahem*...so, to answer the question about the time loop...I do think Solosis is part of one, yes.  After Celebi restored her, I did get to use a really, really, really advanced Time Capsule that Celebi had presumably helped set up..and...well, the Delta Slowking that was operating it...kinda performed a one-way trade that also simultaneously changed Solosis's OT to...mine.  You'd never know she used to belong to a Scimitar if I didn't say anything about it.  I guess you could say it...changed the past, maybe?  But only very, very slightly, if at all...I don't think it's related to the lurches we've been experiencing ever since we left Mt. Sentry, though...for one, Shiva, me, Heart, Ventus, Valder...we've all been experiencing these lurches after our trip through Mt. Sentry.  But...it's not just us.  Terra, the big guy out there...he wasn't with us in Mt. Sentry.  At all.  Never met Celebi.  And yet he experienced a lurch along with the rest of us this morning.  Everybody else in the room at the time besides our group?  They didn't feel a thing from what I could tell.  But us?  We saw...a really old timey looking Pokemon Center nurse standing at the counter for the briefest moment.  Pokemon Center looked the same, but...I have a feeling this might be connecting us to...maybe a few hundred years back?  Maybe around Sarimanok's time at most.  It's just a guess and a hunch, but...I highly doubt any of this is a coincidence, what with all the trouble concerning the Skull Ruins lately..."

"...as for our interactions with Celebi...I know that Heart, Shiva, and me all received a gift directly from her.  I'm not sure if Valder did or didn't...I know 100% that Ventus did not, though.  He was...too paranoid about it.  And Celebi apparently couldn't even speak with him, so...I'm not really sure why it's just us six...at least, I think it's just us...experiencing this.  There's no consistency in any of the reasons I can think of that might explain why it's happening, other than those of us experiencing it had been or currently are traveling together as a group."
