[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

('Several hours later'? That means in the middle of the night, lolz. Was about to ask about poor Toya before it already got answered.)


It could have been an unconscious feeling of something happening or pure coincidence, but Shiva RUDELY AWOKE the moment that rippling symbol of space appeared. Within a second she's sitting upright in bed and every tiredness is blown away like dead leaves during an autumn wind, and so is the dreadful loneliness as she pulls Azu and Cottonee into her arms. It is overwritten with nothing but joy.

To not disturb nighttime peace within the Pokemon Center, Shiva holds back a screech and lowers her voice, but this doesn't diminish the warm emotions within the words. "Oh heavens, you WON'T believe how much I missed you two, even it was only for short...! Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back....!!" The rest of words gets lost in sobs of the natural fae enthusiast,  she's just damn HAPPY to nuzzle her fluffball's fluff and fae rabbit's cheek. She doesn't even care how this transfers stains of the berry juice over to her nightdress.

Shiva waves Lilith over to her before she - carefully - enwraps her into a fond hug as well. "It's great to see you again, thank you for returning, THANK YOU for what you did, how can I EVER make up for that, Lilith...!!" By now Shiva's crying, these are tears of joy that aren't bitter at all and that she tries to rub away with a sleeve.

Soon she realized how tired, exhausted and hungry they all are though, and slowly lets go of them. "Wait a moment, I'll prepare something for you all right away!" With that she leaps out of bed and arranges an almost ridiculous amount of Pokemon Food, dried berries, cookies and whatever she can bring up, she even brings up Purrloin to magic up Berries with Pay Day*. Fresh water is served as much as one can ask for. "Enjoy this midnight 'snack', eat as much as you like dear ones, it's ALL for you, you deserve it, please try to regain at least some of your strength for now... I can ask questions later or better tomorrow, for now let us rejoice that we're.... We're united." *another heavy sniffle*

For the whole time Shiva will just sit there among her Pokemon in the semi-dark dorm, enjoy their presence and provide as much food, pets and hugs as she can give out to them, having a hard time to finally stop sobbing. She has laid the blanket around herself and is having her fun feeding her exhausted companions. She soon completely forgot about the time and that one shouldn't eat so much at this hours, but she doesn't care. She is figuratively - literally? - bathing in Azu's, Cottonee's and Lilith's delight to be back by Shiva's side, amazed and a bit embarassed herself over how much these three Pokmon hang on her; her, a more or less simple daughter of a Prof.Breeder from Unova's metropolis. She can sense the connection and the bond to her Pokemon almost to a tangible degree, this reminds her on these shimmering white lines occupying the Sideways Zone. It's sweet and warm to be connected to her Pokemon so tightly, like leftovers from molten chocolate glazing. It's actually nothing but energy - energy that Shiva is already an expert to control, but after tonight, after having made it and after things have come to a good end, she'll be able to do so better than the ordinary human can. She gains an by Gamemaster approved 6*th point in Channel Speciality for 30xp at last, she deserves it.

For the remaining Encounter Slot of the Day, Shiva will actually take some time and tie a Greenleaf Destiny Knot with the string she once bought in Violet Tent, she got the knowledge how to do so from Atheneum. (That's why I assume no roll is needed?) It's a nice way to keep herself occupied and it need her concentration.
