[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Whoahw, cuddle session with that oddball of researcher to celebrate her victory over that boy came sudden, but nonetheless Shiva somewhat appreciated it. Greatly, actually, she silently leaned into that Bewear-hug soaking up that praise of his while squeezing the Snivy-Plush he gifted her way back in Ginger Town between themselves. Poor little Grass-Starter-Plush, hope fully it was used to so much affection! Speaking of affection, Shiva does allow and even enjoy Ven being so close to her, which is not only a privilege for selected and dear people but also a good sign. He'll definitely pick up some warm feelings from her.

(...)

Just when she was about to say that she's fine with that and doesn't need to be sorry, he brought up the wonderful idea to fed some of HIS life force to her spectral candle! ... Wait, WHAT?! Shiva was...not sure whether this was a good idea, which she made sure in the way she looked at him after he asked for her two cents in this matter. "Ven... You sure you want to do that? I'd...well, I'd appreciate it, but... Ah, oh well, you have more vitality in your veins than I have, not only now, and it's for the wellbeing of my Pokemon... I said I'd reward Litwick for his good performance, so we'll go by that. Out with you, my spectral candle."

Shiva summoned her Litwick directly onto the back of her right hand, and immediately she felt being drawn by the small flame he was casting. It bathed the near surrounding in an eerie purple-blue light, which her eyes behind glasses reflected... She had to look away before she'll sink in. "So, Litwick, dear one... I said you'll be rewarded, so here we go. Greet Ventus", she turned her hand so that Litwick can see him into the eye, "who will gift you piece of his own life force to you tonight to burn away for nutrients and energy. It will likely...well, taste different that mine and eventually I'll gift you some of mine as well, but for now..." Next, she extended her hand to bring the ghostly candle closer to Ventus, but she keeps him on her hand. "Begin with things Ven, let me observe what you described me earlier, please."

His dearest's friend's radiant comfort and joy she felt over his surprise cuddle/praise session sorely tempted Ventus to start another to feel/make Shiva feel that pleasant combination of feelings once more, but valiantly managed to restrain himself. He just want to celebrate her recent achievement, not try to seduce her  overwhelm her with his genuine affections to the point she was senseless! The empath DID notice the expected dip in her mood after he firmly refused to participate in the Little Cup, but he tried not to let it cast a dour gloom on their current conversation, and was grateful that she didn't pursue the topic any further. He didn't enjoy arguing with his crush period, after all.

The sociologist almost chuckled as his offer to 'feed' her Litwick finally sunk in and trigger a cutely worried reaction from her, but held it in and simply gave her a calm smile and a nod of his head when she agreed to his proposal. When her spectral candlestick was summoned on her hand, Ventus closed his eyes took an deep breath and steeled himself in body, mind, and soul while Shiva explained the details to them, before re-opening them and giving them a calm, pleasant, but never the less serious looking smile. "Greetings, Litwick. As Shiva has said, I will be providing your meal tonight, but I want you to keep in mind three things before we begin the life exchange. One, I will only give you as much as you need and I can freely provide without harming myself. Two, do not ask or attempt to take anymore than I have decided to gift you. Three, I will act in my self defense if you attempt anything malicious or harmful to my person. So long as you keep these in mind and act in good faith, then their will be no qualms between us. Do we have a deal, Litwick?"

"I'm Jamison. Yeah, you should be proud of your Tynamo!"

That Spark that strongly finished off Octillery did not look like it used electricity produced by Tynamo himself. More likely he borrowed it from all the apparatus in Stair City. "I'd say a Pokemon like a Joltik or Tynamo needs to spend lots of time both around electricity and away from it."

Koa, however, is definitely getting stronger and cannier. His evolution is not toooo far away, but not anytime soon either, being a dragon. He needs lots of battles!

"Its a pleasure Jamison. Say, can we exchange numbers in case we want to talk with other or battle again my friend? Also, my friends and I is gonna dinner together. Are you interest in join us to the dinner? We will have Pizza Casserole for today dinner"

Action: Exchange number with biker Jamison. We facebook/Whattsap times, so why not exchange numbers? Also, I think Heart find someone to talk perhaps. Also how much XP did Heart and my Pokemon get? Perhaps a little more for Koa since he defeat two pokemons?"

"What's that? I love pizza. I'm sure I'd love pizza casserole. Call me when it's ready?" They exchange numbers.

You get 12XP to spread among your Pokemon however you wish, and you gain 8XP as Heart.

[Iron]

Litwick is very sober about these conditions, and you can tell it has taken advantage of people before when they were not so careful. It agrees, and moves to feed over Ventus' wrist or forehead. It is quite hungry at 1 hp, but respects the rules of a strong spirit like Ventus.

"Its a delicious combination of pizza and a delicious egg noddles. Its something who give water in the mouth my friend. When is ready I call no worry. Again it was a pleasure Jamison. I hope we meet again. I must go to prepare everyone for the dinner. See you soon my friend, and thanks again for the awesome battle!"

Action: Return to the pokecenter, leave the pokemons to be healed for later then prepare everything for the dinner!

Nathan looks up from the table as Heart walks in and through the lobby.

Looks back down at his journal again and resumes writing without really reacting.  Zippy is hovering around him, Forthright's dozing in his lap...Kirlia's nowhere to be seen.

Litwick is very sober about these conditions, and you can tell it has taken advantage of people before when they were not so careful. It agrees, and moves to feed over Ventus' wrist or forehead. It is quite hungry at 1 hp, but respects the rules of a strong spirit like Ventus.

Once the flame specter agreed to his terms, Ventus allowed them to come onto his wrist with a friendly enough smile. After the both of them got comfortable with each other, the empath takes another long, deep breath, and closes his eyes. In his mind's eye, he conjured up a tenous , fragile spirtual bond (that could be broken in an instant if he had the inclination to) with Litwick between his and their fonts of life, their souls. With the bond establish, the empath slowly, carefully, and with utmost exactness partritioned roughly 4 HP worth's of lifeforce from his core, before sending it over to the candlestick spirit with deliberate care as he let out his breath. *Whoosh......*

Then, and only then, did he sever the connection between them and opened his eyes, staring down at Litwick with an expression of total calmness. It did not do to show weakness to a soul eating Pokémon, you know.

Order: What is the strain of this on Ventus, and how will Litwick react to his meal?

[Iron]

This makes Ventus a pale blue, a slight mirror of Litwick's own color, though still a human shade. He gets immediately very sleepy and a bit light-headed. It feels like donating blood, though a Nurse Joy would find Ventus still had his whole allotment.

His senses become murky - except he can see himself, Litwick, and Shiva, outlined clearly and sharply. In fact, while concentrating, he can even see a very faint outline of the trainer in the next room, who seems to have some kind of warm-blooded Pokemon out of its ball.

Whoa.

Heart did notices Nathan looking from his tabble. He was very tempt to talk with him, but since he didnt even say something, he dont give the care to talk. If he is so much anti-social to even greet a member of the party, so Heart will not even try to talk with Nathan. He simple go to the nurse direction. "Good night Nurse Joy. Could you take care of my pokemon for a few moments?" After that Heart go in the direction of his room to prepare the dinner for everyone. Both his party member and pokemons, and the visits.

Action: Leave the pokemons for heal treatment and prepare the Pizza Cassalone finally! Along with pokemon food!

Whoa.

The researcher had to suppress the shivers/slight Pain and the wave of exhaustion/light headedness that naturally came with tearing off a chuck of your lifeforce and feeding it to ravenous Ghost type, as he both didn't want Litwick to get any ideas to take advantage of his weakness AND worry Shiva about this. Such was the nature of sharing lifeforce: it was always a draining experience, but he must remain strong if he didn't want to end up with more problems than the ones he's dealing with right now! What perked his interest, though, was the sudden and explicit ability to perceive what appeared to be the spiritual auras of everyone in this room and the next one over.

'Interesting.......this never......occurred when I......feed other.....Ghost types.....before. Is this a......unique reaction.......for Cheshiran Litwick.......or perhaps a......delayed, latent reaction.....? Graagh.....can't think straight.....too muddled. Will contemplate later......' Ventus thought, giving Litwick a cheerful smile that belayed none of the weariness. "I do hope you enjoyed your meal, Litwick. Seeing as your flames looked a bit wane, I thought to give you a bigger treat for the hard effort you put in Shiva's battle. Now, " he said, before he turned his gaze over to Shiva, "I'll return you to into Shiva's care. Don't misbehave, please."

He then deposited Litwick on Shiva open palm, before slowly laying down on the bed and resting his head on a pillow. "My dear, while I am perfectly alright, providing nourishment to your Litwick was a bit tiring, so I believe I'll turn in early tonight. Don't worry about me, alright......?" Ventus said, before he closed his eyes and slowly dozed off into slumber land. If the candlestick spirit tried anything at this point, then its predatory efforts would be meet with a sudden and terrifying encounter with Apsis, as she would let herself out of her Pokeball to 'deal' with them!

Order: Due to giving a little under half his HP , feeling quite out of it and being tired after a long, fulfilling day of work, I'm going to have Ventus pass out right their, with Apsis acting as a guarden to his slumber. Sorry Dragonstrike, but looks like that conversation will be happening tomorrow!

...Nathan probably spends a good hour or two writing stuff in his journal.  Focusing.  Waiting for both his pokemon to heal and for the meal Heart was apparently cooking...

Thinking on what he'd learned at the Tusk.  And also about other things...

Nathan's just gonna be hanging in the lobby for awhile, thinking.  Still no Kirlia to be seen when someone eventually comes to fetch him for dinner.  Someone IS going to fetch him, right?
