[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

It's dusk and you haven't slept for 3 Encounters, so I expect you can take a calm moment as you make camp. If you guys aren't making camp, let me know. There are modern campsites available with electricity and water.

Dizzy and Calam approach Medicham. Medicham gives them the narrowed eyes too, but cannot read the Dark types at all. They smirk in unison and turn away. The secrets of the Absol will remain in their own heads.

It's dusk already? Ah, that's fine then as well - for some reason Shiva wasn't really paying attention to the time; too distracted by enjoying good fries, trying-to-enjoying bad coffee and being involved in some quality battle with the spectral Breeder and some quality time with her Pokemon before the pack of traveling Baby Pokemon, a Medicham with a believed secret agenda and whatelse made her forget about any worries and fears about still being in the past. Seeing that it became darker and darker, she was all up for camping, definitely prefering a modern campsite with gender-segregated showers and available electricity.

When Nathan airs his concern about what was sealed within that Pokeball Spira has found, Shiva does feel like finally speaking up, but she'll do so later when they're already walking towards the camp to make sure that only he hears: "If there's indeed one of these... 'Linkite' within the Ball and if it's indeed a Ghost type, then I'm, ehm... sure you'll be able to handle it." *small smile* She's all silently scared of that creature indeed, but 1. he was an expert for Ghosts who even got trained at a real Gym, 2. she has Pokemon trained to defend her from malicious ghosts: Means, she doesn't feel endangered or similar.


Moving on, Shiva will eventually return to the build-up camp with a towel still around her shoulders, Vaporeon took a short break from nibbling at the umbrella from Electruxo to greet her and collect her portion of kind strokes. Dizzy got so as well upon he returns to Shiva, she has to hold back a chuckle as it was simply amusing to see how he was able to hide his intentions from the nosy Medicham: "Well done", she'd whisper to him. Deep inside though, this makes her sentimental again: Ventus left the group before he was able to aid her in the art of concealing one's thoughts and emotions from those being able to read them, now Shiva's a bit worried about being 'an open book' for Medi.... Before a mental headshake blew these worries away. Partly she already WAS able to close her mind, simply not well enough in her view: What this means towards Medicham, she'll see.

She herself hasn't much to do and enjoys some casual time here in 2014 among the group and her most dear Pokemon before it will become time to turn in for the night. Cottonee found joy in playing 'I'm a nightlight that changes colors!' by switching between glowing pink for Dazzling Gleam, crimson for Night Daze and not glowing at all to mimic being turned off, while Shiva checked on both Eggs she was carrying, brushing through Primal Glaceon's fine fur while he's on her lap hoping he accepts and enjoys this affection, letting Rapidash graze freely on the campsite and, if she gets a moment of alone time, checking what her Almanac tells about this Linkite. Just in case and for the biggest part out of curiosity.
