[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

You could always have tried physically stealing Nucleon, or tricking it, but I think the Loyalty penalty would have to be steeper for that.

That'd be mean - but it'd also be for Nucleon's best, so Shiva would very likely take that step as a last resort.


Now, something different: @Lord Windos, unless you've got plans with the two Half Life TMs Ven looted that requires them both, could I possiblly, maybe... have one of them to teach this move to smol Nucleon? They're illegal, yes - but since when does Ven care about that, and with his help it should be not much of an issue to completely destroy the used TM without any trace and then say 'There was only one'.

Ven has no plans for using any of the Nuclear TMs, but as Dragonstrike alluded to he's more liable to turning them in to Dagny for both browney points with her and not blatently break his new homes law and get shitcanned for it than handing them over to ANYONE. He may not be as well read as Nathan is about the Nuclear Disaster and all the nastiness of Radiation and Nuclear Pokemon, but at this point he likely knows enough that A) He wants absolutely ZERO to do with that sort of scientific atrocity, and B) He does NOT want it to possible trigger ANOTHER crisis/Disaster in Cheshire OR affect his friends negative. I may not have him said anything, but Nucleon's discovery and Shiva trying (and succeeding) in being super duper cuddly friends with them isn't doing Ven's nerves, concerns, or fears very well at all.

In fact, I say that is the reason he hasn't really said or done anything besides perhaps pocketing his loot (and not telling anyone about it), and backing away from Nucleon slowly to Nathan + Heart, trying to not spook himself or the cute but potentially deadily unnatural abomination from zapping anyone with corrupting Radiation and/or cooking them alive like the skeletons. He's scared, but trying to keep himself perfectly composed and calm, since rash or paranoid behavior is the last thing necessary right now. Since he didn't tell anyone about the loot he found, Shiva and the rest would have to ask him, and from there I have to decide if he'll want to share that infomation or lie about it to protect everyone from their danger. If he DOES tell them, you'd have to convince him to let you have a Half Life TM despite his better judgement, and no doubt against any arguments that Nathan has said before about Nuclear Pokemon and maybe will say about Nuclear TMs.

.....Of course, he could teach Nuclear Wind to Lucifer if he really wanted, and now that I wrote that the idea is suddenly very tempting. Having access to Nuclear power would be a interesting addition to the researcher's tools, and his super Bond with his draco bat more or less ensures it won't go berserk if it accidentally gets Corrupted by the Move. Hmm......
