[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"It's not a tattoo, I was born with the mark." Spira gives a wry smile, then hesitantly shows Nathan the whole mark, telling him (Nathan) what he (Spira) knows about the mark, firstly, the fully dark circle of the mark is closest to the wrist and is oriented in a way if he was to hold his hand up toward his head, it'd be a "Z" shape. "The mark has three phases of the moon, the New Moon," *points at the darkest circle*, "which is where Darkrai comes into play, the Crescent Moon, for Cresselia, and the Full Moon, I don't know what Pokemon it references, but I've heard rumors of a Pokemon in a far away region said to hold sway over the moon itself (Lunala)." Spira hesitates before saying this next part, "From what I know, from experience and research, the mark usually only shows when someone has had some sort of extremely life-changing contact with one of those three, in my case, it was Darkrai, a rather aggressive one had attacked Hearthome in 1902, and, well, my mother was affected by the attack before I was born."

"...a Darkrai attacked Hearthome?  That's...really far inland...last rumour I heard about strange nightmares in Sinnoh was in Canalave...don't know much beyond that, though, I'm afraid....hmmm..."

Nathan thinks for a moment.

"...how's Ditto doing, by the way?  Any strange behavior or anything that I should know about?"

(Separate topic: which encounter are you going to take, Mika?  We can always continue this scene in a flashback)

Ditto: "Ditto's been fine, I've had no problems with it, and no strange behavior that I could tell."
Darkrai: "Huh? Canalave got hit by one as well?" Spira obviously does not know about the attack; he says this next part with a hint of worry in his voice; "Do you happen to know when that attack happened?"
