[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Kurp follows Heart on down, but his only fire Pokemon is a tiny Magby.

Since her sleep was - to her own relieve - restful and refreshing as well as very comfy there beside a familiar sociologist who promised to protect her, those sirens felt like a real nightmare to Shiva and she woke up with an uncommon heartrate of 180 and almost immediately was more awake then she enjoyed. What in all means where they thinking to awake her at... what time actually?

A check of the clock on cellphone showed her it was blasted 6am. Way too early for her taste - well, that newsflash did a FINE JOB to awake her spirits and senses.

There was that Claydol. That damned doll of a Pokemon, that one that dared to attack her and Skiddo without warning and fled once defeat was inevitable... At that point, very subtle and very cold rage filled her, coming from an unknown source. She still wanted to see that particular Pokemon defeated... Still wanted to contain it in an Ultra Ball of hers and then... Well, we'll see what happens afterwards, since for now stopping it from causing a mess was priority.

She actually didn't say much to Ventus, since her actions spoke for themselves - out of bed we go - good call she fell asleep in her normal clothes yesterday night? - throwing over a pitchblack hoodie, grabbing bagpack and right to the door she turned. With one hand already on the handle, she turned back to Ventus, a stern and determined expression on her. How weird to see, if imagining she was so down and weak just yesterday evening - however, they asked for strong Fire Types. She had Braixen, was capable to increase firepower by Sunny Weather and had Helping hand on hand (pun not intended), so all this...smelled like a chance to actually do something and help. Of course she'd be scared and maybe she's rushing things here - but one thing's for sure, she will DO SOMETHING.

"Ven... Eh, good morning first off. I'll get down to the Lobby, picking up the Pokemon of mine that were healed overnights - mostly Braixen and Azu. I won't just sit here and watch." Also, her gaze silently said something like 'You come with me, will you? You'll protect me, just in case... You have my back. With you by my side, I can dare to be strong... Can I?"

Through the door she rushed then, and down the stairs... she gave quite a show on her way down to the Lobby. Taking two steps at once occassionally, slidding down the handrail once or twice because she can and skilldully avoiding panicked people that were in the hall in an all gracefull manner - it all looked so easy, as if she didn't weight a thing. (Unplanned level-up in Perform for more Helping Hands! Would need it anyway at some point.)

Mechanics:
Well, Shiva's in the Lobby now and is armed with mentioned Pokemon. Where are the others?

[Dragonstrike]

"Yes, I saw the news! And the League requested I send in Stable Z - all of it! There's a contingent of Rapidash and older Ponyta in war saddles heading your way right now! My only question is....should I be aboard? Are you safe? You should get out of Stair City ASAP, no matter what the authorities are saying! Take Swiftfire and get out while you can. They always underreport these things to make people feel safer..."

"I'm not surprised.  You stay at the ranch, though.  It's safer on the other side of the Great Divide for the time being.  I'm fine for now, but if it gets too dangerous, I'm definitely hightailing it out of here after I've done what I need to do.  There's a pokemon I need to pick up from the Disobedience Shelter when I have the cash for it.  I'm a little short on funds, so I need to make the difference up pretty quickly, it seems..."

[Spiritmon]

"Good to see you okay Shiva. I just wish with not in these conditions." Say Heart in the lobby together with Kurp. "Do you now what the Eeevee tell to the other Eeevee? Good Eeveening." Heart giggle a bit with the bad pun. "Sorry, but I feel a good (or bad one in this case) is necessary to mends this atmosphere. I bring Kurp with me since he have Magby who might help."

"Make sure it's worth it to stay in danger. That's all I'll say. The Rapidash will always be available to get you out of there. I love you. Call me anytime."

If Ventus was surprised by the icy flash of anger that filled her and the declaration of going out there to contribute her aid in the effort to raze those vile Vines to their roots, he didn't externalize it, and instead opted to look slightly consternated/worried as his advice to avoid the whole mess altogether was completely ignored. He was about to voice a rebuttal to her plans....when he was caught up in the meaningful, Baby Doll Eyed gaze of hers. He instantly crumpled to their will, as for one he would do near ANYTHING to keep his dearest, most blessed friend safe, and he would be damned to Kyurem's frosty domain if he was going to let her go fight those treacherous plants alone!

".....Let's meet up with the others and inform them of our decision to aid in clearing those vines then, Shiva. You head down to the lobby first, while I grab tea and coffee for everyone else. Given the unexpected wake up call, I imagine having some form of caffine would be desired for everyone."

Order: Head down to the lobby and grab a cup of black coffee for Shiva, two bottles of tea (One Irish Breakfast [Nathan], one Scotish Breakfast [Ventus]) and a can of regular soda for Heart/Valder along the way. Curse Shiva and her hold over my character.....kidding!

[Dragonstrike]

"Make sure it's worth it to stay in danger. That's all I'll say. The Rapidash will always be available to get you out of there. I love you. Call me anytime."

"I'll be careful.  Love you too.  I'll call you when I'm out of the city."

Nathan is running down the stairs when he enters the lobby, Kirlia and Orthros barely able to keep up.

He's a blur of motion when he enters the lobby, picking up Swiftfire and Yule, swapping pokemon around in the PC...(Solomon gets swapped for Starmie, Porygon-Z for Calam, Yule for Grid).

And when he turns to look for everyone else...

"Perfect, everyone's here.  Shiva, Ventus. Dagny wants to see us at her gym.  Immediately.  Valder and Heart can come too."

There's no explanation why.  Nathan is practically bursting with raw energy, trying to get this done as quickly as he possibly can.

[Lord Windos]

The researcher, while holding the young bastard in GREAT contempt for last nights reveal (Least of all telling Shiva he bloody murdered some of those beasts), he knew when/how to set aside his personal feelings to accomplish any given task, even as....potent his reservations were in Nathan. Ventus handed everyone their respective beverage, before turning towards Nathan last and handed over the bottle of tea, his expression belaying no animosity or bitterness, only grave seriousness.

"Very well then, Nathan. I need to swap out my Egg for Michael, but after that I'm ready to move out. Lead the way."

Order: Distribute drinks, swap Egg with Michael in a jiffy, and ready to head out!

[Nylon]

Order: Get ready to head down to the Lobby and meet with Heart, Nathan, and Valder (@Nylon , where are you?) with Shiva, discuss plans with them, before he heads off to the Shelter to do his second day out of six days (If I recall correctly) of work. He's a pragmatic sort with prior obligations, so the Vines are not his first priority, sadly.

Valder's sitting in a comfy chair within the lobby while thinking about why he chose to join these energetic kids. His thoughts chain and pass and he starts subconciously patting Theo's head with tenderness.

 *Ventus arrives*

 Ventus entering the room gets Valder up in a spur. "Hello"

[Dragonstrike]

Valder's sitting in a comfy chair within the lobby while thinking about why he chose to join these energetic kids. His thoughts chain and pass and he starts subconciously patting Theo's head with tenderness.

 *Ventus arrives*

 Ventus entering the room gets Valder up in a spur. "Hello"

"Valder!  Get a move on already!  Dagny's waiting for us, and you do NOT keep her waiting!"

Yup, Nathan's in quite the hurry right now...
