[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

No way would Shiva wish to start traveling now, least of all closer towards the small valley and expected place of meteor impact. There are also many many Mightyena exactly there, which I, eh...rather not want to say hello to. She's clearly showing that she doesn't want to leave the current position.

Windos, I might reply to Terra when I'm less tired, likely tomorrow in a flashback if I remember. I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling too well today and would rather find rest soon.

(Fine with me, dear! Take you time, and get your rest to feel better, okay?)

Farfetch'd nods. He's getting sleepy now, but he likes being in your arms like this.

Well, guess Terra's has a Farfetch'd now! He'll use a Pokeball to catch them later, once they fully fall asleep. Don't want to startle them after they got so comfortable, after all!

Terra's all for making camp for the night/morning (and says so to everyone, once he realizes how tired he/everyone else is), but warns that watch shifts will have to be taken to ensure none of the wild beasts of this era decide to sneak up on the group to make a meal out of them (particularly the Mightyena, if they aren't picky about smaller prey). Naturally, he's the first to volunteer for it, with Melly and Angie (the later of which might not like the cold too much, given her reptilian status) serving as his secondary scouts/watch woman.

Gotcha! Farfetch'd was caught!

And don't forget he's holding a Stick.

(Thank you, let me just address this real quick in order to enable progressing!~)


Ah, the opening to for now stay here was actually quite fine for the natural fae enthusiast. If they cannot run away from certain death and disaster then they might as well just stay and work towards accepting what cannot be changed anyway! She's still not looking good and rubs her eyes every now and then among held back sobs, but his hug and words DID bear fruit in the means that she was even MORE startled than before by that sudden display of affection, but quickly calmed and very very shyly returned it. It felt rather weird and unusual especially since he's so much bigger and wider and heavier than she was, but positive overall. Her inner voice awakes and epahiszes on the mountanous man's words about having faith. Because if that faith is lost, whatelse is left to cling and draw strength from? (That's the short version of how she'll react to Terra!)

She's way too upriled at the moment to think of sleep however and wouldn't want to miss the expected impact for two reasons: One, because she doesn't want to be suprised by it and die soft-unprepared. Second, her interest in and liking for astrology makes her a little bit desireable to witness such a rare event now that the chance was there. This means she'll likely stay outside here at the spot if it's safe to do so at all(!), resting and waiting in silence for something to happen while she keeps observing the sky and all the Mightyena. Oh the poor ones, don't even know about their end being near - Oh the happy ones, enjoying life until the very last moment.

Dizzy, Lilith, Delphox and Cottonee stay out with her, as does the swiped Rapidash from the Eastern Suns. At some point when there's time and an opportunity, Shiva would ask the horse whether he's okay to stick with her for now that they've met again and there's no other place for him to go, if it needs some convincing she'll offer the wooden crate full of fresh and tasty *Tall Grass to snack on (the grass in the valley is too far away and there are Mightyena!). He'll be registered to a normal redwhite Pokeball upon agreeing and if it's working at all, in total she'll now have 11 Pokemon on her if Eggs count. Rapidash gets immediately summoned once registered and so does Shiny Shuckle to enjoy some free time - as a side effect of having many known and liked Pokemon of hers around, Shiva will calm down a little more/slowly stop weeping.

I already stated this, but Nathan's giving that Rapidash what might seem like an unusual amount of attention, and he's not explained why yet.  Nobody's questioned his statement about 'delaying the lurch' or asked him about his PTC yet, so he's not said anything about that either.

"...just stay calm, and don't panic.  Horses are sensitive to those kinds of feelings...we'll figure a way out of this..."  He's mostly muttering to himself, but the advice is still sound if anyone happens to be listening to his mutterings.

(I've not seen anything from Shiva's end addressing Nathan giving the horse so much attention.  Shiva can probably tell that Nathan feels responsible for the horse, though.  Figured I'd throw that out there as well.)

"People. Shouldnt more safe for us find some safe place? We been traveling though time and space and we are tired after our last trip in that army."

"People. Shouldnt more safe for us find some safe place? We been traveling though time and space and we are tired after our last trip in that army."

"Do not see safer.......location around. Can't go near Mightyena, and going to mountains to rest would be.....to long a trip. *Shakes head* That place not too safe either. Here, in open plains, plenty of space to set up camp, and can see any threat coming to us. *Shrugs* That is what I see, and think. If you can find other good place to camp, then tell us."

@Dragonstrike

Terra mostly ignores Nathan's interactions with Rapidash, since in rare moment of Insightfulness he understands why they're so intent with the fiery horse, and just quietly accepts it like no big deal. Nathan's a horse ranch boy, so his level of care/affection/focus on Rapidash is perfectly clear and reasonable to him.

At some point, however, he notices that their PTC was glowing, and plainly stated so while pointing straight at is.

"Uh......your trade machine thingy is glowing. Is that a good thing, or bad....?"

(Just when I was about to leave for the night, lolz... Will state this real quick, then leave.)

As stated in initial respons epost to the scenery, Shiva remained all calm and leaned into the horse for warmth and stoicness while Nathan examinates and watches it with great interest. She lets him without objecting, is concentrated on the surrounding, happenings and her own fear and worry anyway, really not up to get into arguments now of all costs. Eventually though, her nerves a little tested anyway due to the lurchs and what has happened when being sent across time via them, it does get a little too much for her and she all quietly speaks up, her expression displaying no anger. "Nathan.... I'm, well.... I'm sorry, but you, eh...tiptooing around this Rapidash does make me a bit nervous, more n-nervous than anyway that is. I know this exemplar, briefly, but I-I do... Will take care of him if he's up as well." She's highly uncomfortable to even briefly say why while Terra's around as she can EASILY guess that he'd dislike if he'd pick up that she threw herself boldly into the danger zone, but going off to a safe spot she isn't up either - not now.

"People. Shouldnt more safe for us find some safe place? We been traveling though time and space and we are tired after our last trip in that army."

As said, by no means Shiva would want to leave the current spot, she eagerly shakes her head when Heart asks this and demonstratively takes a comfortable seat here - her will is ununusually strong at the moment.

Yeah, given that it's a little dark at the moment despite still being the daytime, the glow's probably visible.  And Nathan's definitely not taking care to hide the glow from everyone at the moment. He glances at the PTC for a moment when asked about it.

"...I think it's a good thing.  I think...it doesn't seem like it's caused anything bad to happen, anyways..."

Nathan shrugs, then turns his attention back to the horse.  That's probably about all Terra will be able to get out of Nathan since Terra wasn't in a position to actually see the threads that Nathan had a chance to pull on.  Same with Spira. I think. I'm open to being surprised if you can actually think of something, though.

Nathan's attention is still primarily on the horse, but he's definitely listening to Shiva.  "...and how exactly do you know one of Sarimanok's Rapidash, Shiva?"  He sounds a little tired.  No anger or anything, obviously, but he IS very curious to hear what Shiva's response to that question is.  Nathan's still checking the Rapidash over to see if it's hurt or anything.  Thankfully, it's not a difficult thing to do since the horse is staying relatively calm.

"...legs look okay, no large wounds of any kind...everything looks okay for the most part, apart from some minor scratches and bruises...seems like he was yanked away from that battlefield before he got seriously hurt..."  Nathan lets out a sigh of relief, then starts digging in his bag to look for something. That feeling of responsibility hasn't gone away, either. Why Nathan feels responsible for the well being of one of Sarimanok's horses is anyone's guess at the moment, really...

Rapidash doesn't really have a concept of ownership. It doesn't mind being registered to a ball and coming with you. Or whatever!
It doesn't want to eat the tough Tall Grass.

Gotcha! Rapidash was caught.

Spira lets Hida out of his ball mainly for heat and asks both Hida and Noire how they feel about this new time period. Also is there anything in particular that Spira would notice in this time?
