[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

BillMail: "Happy to report that Raphael contains less time energy now than he did a couple hours ago. I think very soon you'll be returned to 2017! The Traveling Medicine Show discontinued in 1935 after struggling with the economic disaster, but not before ripping off a bunch of desperate people. It resurfaced several times in history under other names. Good luck."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!~ Bill's belief that they all will return to their own time very soon allures an overly excited sqeak from the natural fae enthusiast, as THIS was pretty much everything she wished for. She nervously looks around, hoping that none heard her though - seemingly none has, so she concentrates on the message again. Celebi's will has been fulfilled, the people's lifes are saved; however...does returning to 2017 also mean bidding goodbye to Spira? Eeeek, now that Shiva has met some fellow Breeder, she already has to say farewell. Realizing how her sweet Master turns sad, Azu gives her a fond hug, places a magic'd up red rose behind her ear and pulls out a new and shiny 50$ coin in the process, which all makes Shiva feel better almost instantly.

Humm, with Bill's information Shiva would theorize that the magician with the Azumarill in the picture-of-a-picture could indeed be a modern copycat of Dr. M.

Dr. M: "I do hold shows, though not to entertain! No, my purpose is to educate Creshire on the benefits of Ekans skin, power crystals, and homeopathic remedies! All my miracle elixirs can be part of a show. I bring people in, pass out free samples, tell stories about how I obtained some of these rare ingredients, and sell cures to what ails you!"

Azu squints at the hat for a moment, then loses interest. The hat must be close to what her master wore, but not enough to fool Azu. The person doesn't look familiar to her at all. Of course, Shiva is storing the hat for Azu and can compare them at any time.

Azu's reacting to this Doc emphasizes that, how she quickly brings her attention back to Shiva catches her curiosity quite much. He mentioning Ekan's skin also reminds her on something her dear oddball of a boyfriend has gifted her once, something that lingers in her belonging waiting to be used for something good - would 'receive something nice in exchange for Apsis' skin' count as 'being used for something good'? Shiva believes so, and smiles a little to herself.

She's not quite done yet though. "Oh.... So something like educational shows! How neat... I'd love to hear a few stories, but I guess there's barely time now. If you're having a card or a flyer I'd be happy to take it with me to remember, and maybe come to wherever you open up your stall a few more times if I can make it! Do you include Pokemon in your shows as well? And what does the 'M' in Dr. M actually stand for, have you a real doctor's degree? Oh, and...." She draws something from her belongings, it's the old tophat Azu has hid in always when she was a tiny and sad Azurill. "I found that one yesterday on a walk through Celebi Park. Is it by chance one that belongs to you? I'll just keep it if it's not." Subtly she indeed compares Azu's tophat with the good Doc's, but his own word will bring confirmation. With subtly trembling hands she faces Dr. M in an innocent way, waits eagerly for his answer to that question...

If it needs a roll to compare, that's alright. I think once all in this post has been answered Shiva would get to trading some things and Berries.
