[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

"Figure out if it's safe to go, and we can go.  But keep it quick if you can. We don't have the luxury of taking our time right now, and I'd rather not we Teleport directly into danger."

Shiva's on the run already, but she stops half-way to turn around for a quick reply, her voice quiet, neutral and determined while her body wants to get back to running again. "I'll be quick, and I hope you will be as well. We can meet here at this spot once we're done with preparation and info-gathering to get a move on." Then she's off again, Yena eagerly following.

There is a buzz around the Pokemon center, but at least you are seeing people now. Mostly they are entering. Very few are leaving.

Asking a woman at random, she explains her side of the story. "It was horrible! This twirling spaghetti Pokemon came through - they say it's a Deoxys from space! - and walked through a block of buildings. It kept looking around, and every time it made eye contact, people went crazy! It captured a lot of our Pokemon, too, sucking them into floating shiny rocks! Everyone is evacuating to the Gym, the Cathedral, and the PokeCenter. Nurse Joy and Brother Scheindel are in charge here. If you want space, and blankets and food, you have to ask them!"

Her boyfriend adds "They're saying it's the same all over Creshire. Cell reception has gone spotty. Even the PC takes twice as long to load. The League is camped out at Bill's house."

Shiva probably never been more glad to see random people than in the moment she spots those at the Center. Hooray for some unfamiliar humans again after days underground!~~

She's having a bit of a hard time to get through, but she's so determined that it's not that much of an issue for her, maxed out Will Score nicely adds to this. Despite the seriousness of the situation, she can't help but to chuckle a bit over 'twirling spaghetti Pokemon', and when she replies to that couple, her voice is calm and soothing, as if she's certain that things will turn out well. "Is that so? This sounds....horrible, I'm sorry you had to witness all that. But, yes, what you're describing sounds like the doing of nasty Deoxys, for heaven's and Reshiram's sake! 〣( ºΔº )〣*played shock to not arise suspicion* I-I'm fine though, thanks, I'm not staying here, meeting with relatives before we leave the region. Do tell me though, please... 'People went crazy' you say? What does that mean, can you, if you feel capable of doing so, tell me what has happened to them? Where are they, are they hurt? Safe??" Shiva would throw a worried glance over to Terra if he's still with her in this Center, does this NPC's decribtion of 'going crazy' sound similar to what Deoxys has 'done' to him as he was hypnotized by a clone's light and became more than human?

Towards her partner's info concerning technical issues and the League, Shiva is appreciating this a lot. "T...thank you, I'm glad that we DO have access to our PC Boxes at last in this situation. I so hope that the Pokemon there are, well, safe...." She's obviously already feeling bad for all the Pokemon Deoxys stole as she hangs her head a little while involuntarily grasping the Shield a little more.

Spotty cell reception or not, hearing that there's a situation ALL OVER Creshire - Deoxys surely has spread fast! - makes Shiva send a very quick text message to Ventus. It only consists of a few words, basically stating 'I'm okay. Hope you are too.', and she doesn't know whether it will reach him or whether he still IS in the region in the first place, but her sentimental side shines through. She's not expecting a reply, a 'Message sent!' popping up satisfies her enough already.


Shiva will also approach Nurse Joy if she's having the time, follow the news broadcast, ask around, anything, she's trying to find out where exactly the comet has landed and where clones of Deoxys have been sighted - or, to word it differently, where the center of this situation is in order to know where the real Deoxys can be expected to be.


Outta-chara, concerning selling stuff and buying stuff in return... Scenically it does make sense that the Market's closed and all that, but technically and mechanically it'd be quite an issue if we have to invest time in restocking on needed supplies for this fight. It'd be unfair if we couldn't even due to the situation, as that'd put us on a big disadvantage and we couldn't have known that we should have prepared to face Deoxys before even entering the Ruins. Also, why were we've been given so much worthy treasures if not to sell and buy needed supplies for this showdown? These are just my thoughts though, please don't beat me for that...
