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

[Lord Windos]

But they don't auto-raise Happiness and/or Loyality, which I'm quite thankful for actually because it's just...feels more natural to me. Nothing against you though, Windos.

No offense taken, my love, but I always had a problem when it comes to Time Delayed effectiveness of items. While it might be more natural and fit with the idea that things take time to work unless designed to be Instant, it also takes a loooong time for them to have a visable effect most of the time, and while its gratifying to some for the payoff to come from a gradual/hard work, I find it tedious if it isn't tied to XP , Random Happiness/Loyalty Gains/Drops , or something unexpected happening because of a trend that was started/planned for a long time ago.

Still, I enjoy Iron's campaign by quite a bit, so this isn't a deal breaker to me. I just wish there was an easier way to raise those qualities of a Pokémon that have a high cost to them, or at least being able to directly monitor that Happy/Loyal gains progress , so that we know how close we are to the next point and can choose to focus our efforts to increasing those points. Michael or Lucifer hasn't really gained either quality in ages despite several chances for it to occur, while Raphael easily lost both in one swift go because they didn't agree with their master's move DESPITE having ample evidence/reason to unconditionally trust/follow his will.

Call me a bit of a munchkin, but having more of a handle on Happiness and Loyalty would be a nice thing to have indeed!

@Iron : Could Kirlia actually deduce my presence by doing as Dragonstrike described? Ventus is explicently keeping his thought and empathetic abilities to himself, not outright blocking the young psychic, so I find it a bit incongruous that they could so easily see through it. I'd liked it if they had to roll for it and get a number of successes before they could definitively find out who he is. After all, they have NO reason to connect Neo V Disguise with Ventus, since they never seen them appear that way AND have not seen Neo V act like Ventus...

[Dragonstrike]

Yeah, in a large crowd, Kirlia wouldn't have found him.  In the lobby of a building though?  Being a little too thorough is suspicious as well.

That's just my thoughts on it, though.

The lobby could have dozen of people hanging out and waiting for their Pokémon to be healed, chatting with one another , or conducting business, so picking out Ven might be harder than we both think. Or the lobby could be practically except for Ven and Dr. Mallorn's Hang Out. Iron has final say in this, so I'll just wait for his word on the matter.

Well, now that Kirlia saw through Ven's first disguise, they won't expect him to appear as Biker Ninja, especially if they wait until Nathan and them leave the Pokémon Center for the Running and lags behind. When the unexpected comes around to mess up your plans, rebuild and organize so that you can proceed anyway, nehehehehe!

Might want to slow down a bit there.  I haven't said Nathan and Kirlia have fully left the room yet.

Now instead of looking like V from Vendetta, he looked like some cross between a Gangster Punk and a Ninja trying WAY to hard to appear edgy/cool.

I feel that Shiva would nosebleed if she'd know that this is Ventus.

I EXPLICENTLY said that Neo V would wait until EVERYONE left the lobby and went to bed, before heading to his own room to make his new disguise. I'll even redo that part of my post to make it clearer so as to cover my back in this regard. Please, just let this happen, mate. Quite honestly, it doesn't matter what they do bare trying to cripple him before the Running , Ven is going to find a way to help your character out, in or out of disguise.

If he had a kit of makeup on him, he'd be able to disguise himself even more, and also offer to make everyone in the group look different/pretty when the occasion calls for it! He was quite curious about how and why his mother did her makeup/accessorizing, and since she didn't have that Boys should be Boys Bais, she taught him all that she knows. Plus, he has experience in make up due to....past events in his life. Just another facet to this encetric character of mine!
