[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Iron]

Tandal is just standing there nodding reservedly, until those last few lines. Then his face lights up, in a way you haven't seen yet before. His voice is still serious.

"That's the way. Let the song move you. My Nana always stressed that part. With these elders and that passion, you may have a chance at a successful ritual."

He and the elder give you a few minor tips on important details: which way to face, potential dance steps and helpful postures, diction and pitch.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Any tip from an experienced person like Tandal or the elder is appreciated! Shiva does her best to adapt and keep them in mind. Also, the farewell-for-now to Tandal has been made a little brighter and less painful now.

...She felt well enough to relatively soon fall into a peaceful sleep after having made her way to the Pokemon Center with Lilith, Raphael supporting his fainted Master and Shiva carring all their stuff as well as the Shamisen. When she met Heart along the way, she gave him a neutral look and greeting, asking him to not ask where she has been and what happened. She has things under control, that was all he had to know~

Mechanics:
End of the Day!

[Iron]

It is now Day 37.

The weather is very cloudy. The entire marsh and village feels like one continuous column of dense moisture. Looks like it could rain.

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

(I assume the natives still do their morning ritual with their drums and things that gave Shiva a complete culture shock yesterday, Iron? If not due to cloudy, I'll edit this.)


When the alarm clock on cell awoke a familiar fae woman in a (for her) just as familiar tone from a pleasant slumber with her Cottonee in her arms and a cozy place closely beside...Ven, Shiva was all but willing to turn it off, put it away and the turn around to enjoy some more sleep - but only a few moments later her mind seemingly awoke and caused Shiva to remember WHY she set that alarm clock in the first place, reminding on her the unpleasant experience to be loudly called out from bed with something the natives repeated every morning.

... My, it WAS way too early for her taste, but eventually and kinda relucantly, she at first stretched her arms (freeing Cottonee from her closeness along this process), then relucantly sat upright and was JUST about to head to the window, when her gaze fell on Ventus beside her. Oh right, he passed out yesterday at the bonfire...because... Eh, at remembering this, some blush was about to kick in again, while she was still undisclosed whether she shall smile or be startled now. Probably both.

Carefully and silently to not accidently awake him, she crawled out of the bed, picking up her glasses and to the window wher she put them on and adjusted them, this time awaiting the morning ritual of the villagers to experience it not while still being in a slow-wave sleep phase. It had something musical and mystical on its own, that was something Shiva nevertheless managed to realize yesterday morning.

Such gloomy and moisture weather was nothing for Shiva though, and she felt an urge to just stay in bed.

Heart awake and see the weather besides his window. "Hmm it might rain today...it could be a good chance to train Water Pokemon. Viktor was beside him out of his Pokeball. Heart smile and hug his little tree. "Hey Viktor, whats up little buddy." Then Heart decides to take a silence moment and decides to ask his little tree a few things. "Viktor, we been travel for quite a long time. We fough battles and everything, but I never asked you: You have interest in evolve to your next form as a Trevenant? Shiva have comment she is willing to help you evolve tough trade. But I would never trade your away forever Viktor, only if you want evolve."

Mechanic: See Viktor reaction about the question.

Nathan's definitely not the first one up in the morning.  If anything, he's likely to be the last one to rise.  In addition to the stresses of the situation and...discomfort of yesterday, he'd stayed up and played with Orthros for...quite awhile, actually.  Orthros was more than happy to receive the attention, and never seemed to tire, either.

Nathan basically ran himself into the ground until he was too tired to stay awake, since he didn't particularly want to go to sleep lest...*shudder*...

...but sleep, he eventually did, his loyal canine keeping watch the entire night, only taking a nap to get what little rest he needed when he was absolutely sure Nathan was going to be fine and that there was no danger, whether from the physical or dream worlds.

When Nathan wakes, he's surprised to find himself laying on the bed.  Last he remembered, he was playing tug-o-war with Orthros using the 1 meter length of rope, so how did he...?

He looks around...well, there's the rope...sitting there on the floor...Orthros was napping at the foot of the bed, though he wakes soon after Nathan does.  Kirlia, as usual, is up at the same time as well, and looks just as tired as Nathan does. Orthros doesn't really look tired at all, though (Insomnia and Vital Spirit are great abilities for guard dogs, aren't they?).

Nathan doesn't particularly want to face Shiva right now...so for the time being, he opts to just spend a little more time with Orthros.

At least he still has his pokemon...no worries about them misunderstanding what he says or...passionately disagreeing with him on something that is only a logical statement...

Nathan sits on the bed and opens his journal after a little while, and turns to the section of his journal that covers Sinnoh's history...and he spends a little time reading that...

Heart awake and see the weather besides his window. "Hmm it might rain today...it could be a good chance to train Water Pokemon. Viktor was beside him out of his Pokeball.

Viktor flexes his little arms! Most Pokemon have an instinct to get stronger if they can. There are some exceptions, of course, but 9 times out of 10, Pokemon are all about that evolution!


As Nathan bonds with Orthros, the dog Pokemon becomes more and more like a puppy, playing carefully and lolling about, even licking Nathan's fingers with an extremely warm tongue.

As Nathan bonds with Orthros, the dog Pokemon becomes more and more like a puppy, playing carefully and lolling about, even licking Nathan's fingers with an extremely warm tongue.

Just like any other dog pokemon...maybe a little scarier, but it's hardly like Delta Houndour is the ONLY super scary pokemon out there...

Nathan's absentmindedly scratching Orthros (who's laying on the bed next to where Nathan's sitting) behind the ears and petting the dog as well as he reads his journal.

As the new day was ushered in by the rising sun and obscured skies, Ventus fortunately rose with it (and not the Alarm Clock; he wakes up only when he's ready to, and not a moment sooner!) instead of remaining comatose in bed, as his own internal clock refused to let the previously fluster to 'sleep in' after they got a full night's rest. Of course, passing out due to emotional overload was hardly the best way to doze off, so when he awoke the researcher was greeted with a muddled head and a throbbing headache, causing him to bite back a groan as he leaned up in bed and rubbed his eyes, pondering what in Reshirim's name happened last night to make him feel this bollucks.

'Uaaaagh......by the Djin, what in Turboblazes transpired at the Bonfire yesterday night that made me feel this wretched? I remember....practicing my Shamisen, furthering honing my skills by preforming my Skirl, comforting Shiva and sharing a moment of joy with her, then....then....ugggh my emotion went out of control because of......bah, I can't recall.....then the sensation of disorientation.....and waking up here feeling Reshirim awful.
Can't recall anymore now, memory's hazy from emotional backlash and.....passing out? At least that is what I believe happen..... *Mental Sighing* Perhaps I'll remember more once my mind clears up, or I can get a recounting of the events from her that lead to me waking up....here? Thinking of which, where am I exactly?'

Once he was through with accessing what he could dredge up from his muddled state and he regained some semblance of awareness, the empath finally took exact note of the room he had been taken to. His eyes sweeping around the various decorations/personal effect as he analyzed them and quickly began drawing up hypothesis of his location......until they finally rested on Shiva with Cottenee in hand, facing away from him and standing right by the window with what felt to be an air of muzzled sleepiness. 'Ah, so this is Shiva's room. Must have escorted me here once I presumably passed out in front of her, instead of taking me to the infirmary for checkup and observation, thank Reshirim. Such compassion, caring, kindness...... I'm blessed that I can call her my dearest friend,' he thought to himself, a smile appearing on his face at the fact that his mystical friend trusted/cared for him so much as to go out of her way to drag and shelter him in her room when he passed out on her. By Reshirim, what would he do without her continued aid/support? Probably ended up in dire straight, in one fashion or another!

Ventus shook his head to clear what fogginess he could from it at the moment (Gritting his teeth as his head throbbed in protest of such action), before he rotated himself so that he was now sitting on the edge of the bed, head in hand as he stared at the back of Shiva. "Good morning, Shiva, or at least I hope that its true for you dear. I don't savor the though of you waking up from unconsciousness with a headache like I have, as I imagine that is one of the worst ways to greet the new day! Urggh.....speaking of which....could you perhaps fetch me my bottle of asprin in my satchel, and explain what caused me to pass out last night? I'm having some difficultly unearthing the finer details from my memory, so I'd appreciate if you shed some more light on the matter!"

Heart smile then hug his little tree. "If thats is your wish Viktor, then I guess its time to you finally evolve my old friend. Lets find Shiva to finally make the trade. I wont negate your wish to get stronger. Also, we need to get stronger so we may able to fight Nathan again. Lets go." Then Heart decided to go to the Pokemon Center Lobby and wait for Shiva. Viktor was in his shoulder along with Koa. When he wait he decided to see how Koa is going. "So Koa...how are you buddy?"

Action: While wait Shiva, pass a time to hang out with Koa and Viktor. And see Koa reaction about yesterday.
