[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Terra's a bit too focused on Medicham/stressed out to be paying much attention to the Rainbow Relic Heart found or Spira's weird Pokeball, but  he does eye them curiously (warily in the case of the sealed Ball, as something seemed.....off about it) a few times. If asked for his opinion on them, he'll just shrug and shake his head, indicating he has zero clue about them, other than the fact the RR looks pretty and the S.PB gives him the creeps.

However, when Nathan offers to test out the unknown relic and Heart voices his possible concerns about doing so, the sagely monk would step in and shake his head, before pointing at himself.

"No. Don't want you to risk yourself trying on......ancient blinking rainbow gem plate first. Let me do that. My body......much tougher than anyone else now. *Nods* Know how and can handle lots of Pain and Damage too. If I get hurt, Gallade or Gustav can heal me, I can use my own medicine, and we know not to use it anymore. If safe, anyone can try it on, if they want. *Looks at Heart first, then Nathan* Well?"

"...honestly, I'm not sure if it'll do anything if anyone besides me puts it on, because...well..."

Nathan puts the gem down and backs away.  The gem's flashing slows down presumably.  Nathan inches closer towards it again, and the flashing picks up again.  Nathan picks it up, and it flashes even faster.

"...I...think its reacting to me specifically, just based on how it flashes more quickly whenever I get closer..."

...

"...is it because...?  Hmmm...maybe it is..."

Nathan sighs and puts it down and backs off again to sit next to Gallade.

"...my best guess is it's some kind of...enhancer of sorts.  Like a Mega Stone is for pokemon.  But this item is definitely for humans, whatever it does.  Probably worn by the more elite members of Sarimanok's army or something, and only usable by them.  True, it might have dangers and/or drawbacks...but unless it's worn by someone who can actually use it, I don't think it'll do anything.  Like how a Mega Stone only functions if a matching pokemon species holds it."

He doesn't raise any objections, but...he sooooo wants to figure out what that item does...

"...just don't break it, Terra...please...artifacts like that are incredibly rare and who knows how valuable."

The gem's sitting there on the ground now, slowly flashing since Nathan backed off...

...just waiting to be put on by someone who can use it.
