[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"Yes, we need to have a discussion about that realm of dreams and strangeness. This evening will be fine."

Lilith shares the look, assuring Shiva the missing Pokemon will be fine as long as the Scimitars don't go in there.

Humm. Shiva holds eye contact with Lilith for a bit longer than usual, but then sighs impercibly and relieved. It's good to know that the Pokemon are safe at the moment, but she can't ignore that massive, MASSIVE crack in her sensitive heart that the sudden seperation from Cottonee and Azu has caused. She must stay strong however, that she knows very well, she can't break down. Not before the fluffball is absent from bedtime.

Shiva nods in agreement to Keni. "Thank you, Mr. Morgusi, me and Lilith will be on time. I... I'll come for sure, will ask Heart and Spira whether they'd like to listen in as they suffer from a disappeard Pokemon Companion as well. The faster we get them out from...'there', the better it is for us and them." (That's your call @Spiritmon and @Mikaruge108, would you like to join in that talk with Keni later on? Asking you two solely because I don't really wish for anyone to come that hasn't soft-lost a Pokemon.)

The sketch you stole from the corkboard has an artist's conception of a strange world with lines of force and rainbow colors swirling around floating rocks. Apparently the Scimitars have been researching Sideways and used Keni to break in by force.

There's also a ripped picture of the Skull Ruins, but it's not possible to tell where in the ruins.

Ah... She'll show theses sketches to those that are currently with her in the Center, she herself looks at them for looong with a thoughtful, worried and to a degree confused expression. She... She has theorized and believed that such a mysterious realm indeed exists, regardless what science says, it's just not possible that it doesn't in some way or the other. Astral journeys and lucid dreams, wormholes and certain Pokemon... It can't exist NOT. But why have the Scimitars want to break in there, for what reason did they intend to step in there when the ordinaire human shouldn't set foot on this place? She's mystified, can't find a proper answer at the moment. Apart from.. them wanting to abuse any powers that linger there, as shown by these gauntlets within the cell.

Maybe when the time comes where they all venture into the ominous Skull Ruins Shiva will recognize the place depicted on the ripped drawing, that thought fills her with fright and excitement. For now, she'll keep these snatched drawings in her starry-covered notebook.

Inside your foil packet is a beautiful pink and blue holographic Sylveon, ribbons floating in the wind! He's made it Shiny for you. Your sixth sense picks up that this is full of magic, of course! But not as much as Nathan's Cress City card. More on par with your unfinished card.

AAAAHHHHHH, how did Keni know that Shiva's a big fan of pastel blue Sylveon?~ That shade of color just fits the Fae Evolution of Eevee so well, she can't stop grinning and rejoicing over this gift. Weird looks she gets from any passerbies on the way to work or wherever make her keep reactions moderate though, lolz. It's another valued treasure for her growing collection of things she gathered along the journey through the region, yay! And a gem among her trading cards of course. She can't play with it as Pokemon from Kalos aren't available as a card yet as far as she remembers, but that's perfectly fine!

(I like this gif for the 'ribbons floating in the wind'-aspect.)

Mechanics:
That should wrap up some threads, I just need some response from @Lord Windos towards Helios as well as see whether he has anything to add before I can progress to Shiva's next action.
