[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

Original Post

Shiva frankly ignores that unamused look. She gasps sharply as it becomes clear to her however how insanely FAST that meteor is coming, panic threathes to arise within her but she's taking effort to not overwhelm her. Panicking now of all costs will damage more than it might help.

"IT'S COMING??! Like, NOW? Lilith...." She presses her loyal Gothy's hand tightly, seeks her closure. "Please, tell me, what can we do about it right now? IS there anything we can do? Where do you think it'll crash approximately, my dear? I don't wish to...to die here, you see...?"

Gothitelle waves a hand. This isn't the kind of threat where you worry about being struck directly.

When asked about the direction, she points vaguely west. There is much uncertainty, to her, regarding details. But with your incredible Insight, you notice Gallade turn away, refusing to answer any questions about possible impact sites.

When you ask what you can do about it, she again shows you the Six and the Four.

Oh dear heavens, it's a relief the weight of nine Snorlax and three Mudsdale for Shiva that they are out of danger. Well, at least they are - others however, aren't. She can't help but to wonder about the people in direction west, those innocent ones that are closer to the vague side of impact; as well as all those people who are up and about this early in the morning already and have no idea what this light in the sky appears to be. Noble Reshiram may be with them and prevent a panic outbreak...

...Speaking about panic, now is the moment for SHIVA to fall into a freaked out and scared state either way as her mind is running at high speed and as thoughts come and go at Mach 2, a tad bit too fast for her to get a real hold on them. She has to hold her head, she crouches down as she begins to shiver; almost instantly both Cottonee and Azu release themselves from their Balls to provide some consolation for their sweet Master. Cottonee flooffing up with Cotton Guard to serve as a comfort pillow and Azu gifting her a magick'd up red rose and 50$ coin DO calm her down to a degree, Yena in the meantime has taken a protective stance in front of Shiva as he growls intimidatingly in direction of the coment with his wings outspread at max, he seems ready to crunch it into a million pieces.

"T....Thank you, my dear ones....", she faintly whispers to them all, very happy over their aid and loyalty to her. Unfortunately due to her messed up state and focus on her Pokemon, she misses the message Terra has sent to her. :C Instead, she turns towards Lilith after she has shown her the Six and the Four once more; she remains crouched down as she speaks up towards her, audibly for everyone present. Her voice is still shaky, her state unstable, but she appears to be out of the danger to get lost in panic. Her Pokemon stay very close to her.

"It's coming.... It's COMING at last, the comet, Millenium's comet, Deoxys, doom, destruction... WHY? Why now, why were there no hints or foreshadowing that fast....?" Questions that will remain open and unasnwered to her. "People... Spira, Heart, Nathan... NOW THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE PROPHECY FINALLY MAKES SENSE. 'As the comet comes at last, decide between your friend and foe, who will come and who will go?' ....You understand? It's either one or the other, we cannot deal with both, we have to make a decision right here. We CAN'T, mustn't split up, if we'd do we might outright defy the prophecy - we're too weak to tackle both if we'd seperate now. We need to stay together, we can't..."

She continues as she tries to piece things together. 'Your friend', what may it speak it about? Nathan, obviously your father within the Ruins? Yes, but it may mean ALL the friends we have made across our so-far journey, including him, they probably will be lost if we decide for the other option - that 'your foe' must go. This... perhaps the Scimitars, Almanac. If we tackle them now we will likely defeat them and save Keni and your Uncle, but in the meantime Deoxys will cause a ruccus. WHAT TO DO...." She has to hold back a heavy sob as the pressure to decide is pulling her down under.

"Lilith, the Six and the Four - Six brave Trainers who defeated King Sarimanok once, four 'somethings' within the Ruins - the artifacts, correct??! Please, dear one, give me a sign to confirm or decline. The artifacts JUNI has takled about - 'the helm to outrace the wind, the hauberk to protect and empower, the sword to pierce any defense, the shield to weather any attack'...", she reads aloud from her drawn notebook, "Only possible to be wielded from those who are more than human, 'comet's bane within the tombs'...!!! 'Shining knight shows hidden rooms'...!!! Gallade should be capable to help us finding these!"

Then, Shiva gazes into the eyes of everyone for a few seconds each as her own are filled with seriousness, determination and a will to do something - sparks fly over them for a moment - but also with fought tears. "We have to make a decision, I guess."

Behind the following spoiler-tagg is Shiva's.

Spoiler

Make a turn and head into the Skull Ruins to retrive the artifacts to save Chreshire as a whole. Here's hope that Keni and Uncle Oscar are not in huge danger, means they can wait.
