[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

First note: Nathan's pretty immediately concerned about Heart and Terra once he notices how disoriented they are.  He motions to Gallade and Calam to keep an eye on the three Rock types for a moment while he briefly assesses the two guys who received direct wishes from Jirachi.  

     - To Terra/@Lord Windos: "You doing okay, Terra?  Any unbearable headaches or anything?  If something's wrong, I'd like to know sooner rather than later, okay?"  When Terra mentions he wants to talk about Deoxys later, Nathan quietly nods.  Gallade turns his attention to Terra for a moment to make absolutely sure Terra's okay, as well, psychically analyzing his emotional state and such.  (@Iron, got some input on this?)  I imagine that Gallade's not going to be doing this for too long for one reason or another, though...


Second note: Shiva can tell Nathan's feeling rather responsible again.  That's further solidified when Nathan opens with this upon everyone getting reoriented:

"Guys, I pulled a couple pokemon along with us.  Not quite sure how they ended up connected to us via the threads, but they did.  Figured we could give some of 'em a home, and all three are rather rare, ancient pokemon.  I'll deal with this one."  He points at the brown and yellow lizard-like pokemon.

He's pretty happy when Terra and Heart decide to deal with Bastiodon and Shieldon respectively.

To Nathan: "*Slowly nods* .....Yes.....I think. Feel.....different . Tougher, Smarter, and......hardened? Weighty? .....Steely? *Shakes head* No clue which. Just know that I feel......More now. Does that make sense, Nathan?"

If Nathan's paying attention, he should see the metal knuckles that the sagely monk is now sporting, just FYI.

(...)

"*Shakes head, but frowns* No headaches, but......mind feels hazy, and *Faces scrunches up, looking uncomfortable*.....something else in it. Not sure what, but......think Deoxys.......did something? To me? *Shakes head, looking concerned and......thoughtful* Don't know.....Light makes it hard to remember.....but....not understand it? Urgh......."

He grumbles and clutches his head after he finishes speaking, looking and feeling stressed at recalling those details in his current state. Looks like  he'll need some time to clear his head/center himself before he can continue speaking about the alien supervirus without it being an ordeal for him....

Terra doesn't need the boy to incentivise him going off to confront the Steely Dino, but now he has even more reason to fight/capture it! Great!
