[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Duskull's attitude has changed notably. He's a lot more playful now, more like the disobedience of Genie than a sullen ghost. He enjoys the company of Mawile in particular. He's still pretty mean to Terra, doesn't really respect him, but I'd say he has more respect for civilization now.

Terra doesn't really mind the disrespect he's received from the now gregarious ghost, as he's had ample experience in dealing with such attitudes in the past from Basteele, the afformentioned Genie, and who knows how many people back home. He also expected they would still dislike him intensely, since the Shelter volunteers could only do so much about a Pokemon's issues (Their social workers, not miracle workers!) and he hadn't proven himself to them yet/done anything special for them, so their overall rudeness didn't offend nor hurt him. Disappoint him a bit, perhaps, but he didn't show it nor let it show, nor let it ruin his mood or colour his interactions with them.

Speaking of which, the steely brawler wasdelighted by Duskull's more whimsical, playful disposition, as seeing them so happy now was much better than plain miserable/hateful - even though it briefly caused a bead of cold sweat to roll down his back

'Oh no.......he is like Genie now. Not sure if I can handle two of them.......*Grows serious* ....But I must, and will. ......Hopefully he will not cause to much trouble like her, though.....'

He closed his eyes and shook his head slightly to dispel such a though - now was not the time for them; never, ideally - and focused on the dread specter having a great time with Mawile (Who I imagine is acting like a mischevious trickster with an edge), the sight alone bringing a wide smile to his face. Even though they weren't true partners with him yet, they were able to and willing to form friendships with his other Pokemon, and that alone gave him great comfort and hope that one day he too would become their friend.

After letting them bond and play for a bit, Terra coughed into his fist to get Duskull's attention, and when he had it he slowly and carefully reached into his pockets, and pulled out two Items for them to see: TM Wil-lo-wisp and the Spell Tag. He looked them in the eye.....and presented them to them.

"Here. These are gifts. For [i]you[i]. TM Wil-lo-wisp to.....give control of Burning flames to you, and a Spell Tag to strength your Ghost powers. Promised I would take care of you and make you stronger, so....accept them please."

Saying thus, he awaits their reaction with great patience, and a little trepidation.
