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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Depending how much Shiva remembers as soon as she wakes up, she won't be that happy to realise that there is one of the dream demons among the party, captured... She was interested in the mysterious creature, she really was, but not in that way. :/ Sorry here!

EDIT: I'm just expressing my thoughts, Nathan can actually do what he wants. But quite honestly, I feel like none of us in the party is capable of controling a Delta Houndour at all, not even speaking of in battle.

[Lord Windos]

In other news, these Delta Houndour are like a big carrot dangling in front of my face.  Houndoom is one of my favorite Johto pokemon, and these Delta ones are my favorite type (psychic) on top of that...now I'm trying to think of a reason Nathan might try to catch one...

....Mate, these are borderline demonic entities. Iron even alluded to their nature when Raphael went full Sky Attack glory upon the abominable mutts. Ven would outright kill any of them before your character has a chance to catch them if the end up grouping together, so I guess this is a mute point.

Ventus and Nathan have seen very different behavior from the Houndour. Like all Pokemon, they can mean different things to different masters, or in different contexts.

I really like how Ventus has a core team of conflicting Pokemon - Arbok, who is always shown as an evil Pokemon. Lucifer, who is more Chaotic Good but named after a demon. Raphael the angel, who is a strictly good-aligned Pokemon, but who is the dreaded Fairy type.

When you play as much SMT as I do, it sort of bleeds into other gaming choices. I'm a. Chaos man myself, so to me old Louis Cypher is not such a bad guy. At the very least, he's the better option over classic YHVH...

As for the team, it just kinda ended up that way, tbh. I still like how it turned out, however!

[Lord Windos]

This is a case where you cannot simply use your character as an excuse. Just like rogues shouldn't steal from the party. Paranoid professors should not stop other players from building the team they wish. No bullying. Protesting is fine.

Ventus would not bully Nathan, heavens no! He'd just be a grumpus about it for a very long time and would always have Raphael's ball on hand if it got out of control. He not unreasonable, but Nathan is going to be on his own on this matter.

[Iron]

Yeah, perfectly fair! Just like how Shiva doesn't keep her rodents alone in Apsis' company.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Ah, it looks like Ven get to encounter Shiinotic(?), Nathan get a fierly battle and both get XP, and I'm still there sleeping = doing nothing. *sobs just a tiny tiny little bit*

[Lord Windos]

So, just to be clear, do I have to comment to my character's post for me to move onwards towards the red light, or can I just wait for Nathan to finish his encounter/stumble onto the Houdoyr corpses I left?

[Iron]

Just let me know if you interact with the shroomies or not. You can say so in either thread.

Then I'll catch Nathan up a bit.

Shiva, I have something waiting for your character whether you are awakened or not.

Hooray! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

Letting Ghastly lead him, Valder entered the dream-like world.

Whoah, it's awesome that a Ghastly is capable of entering the dream-world on free will, alongside a human on top of that.

[Lord Windos]

Well, it's the underworld/nightmare world, so a spectral ghost type such as Ghastly should be able to travel between different planes of reality. If Duskanoir can, why can't other Ghosts?
