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

[Dragonstrike]

Fun Fact: Charizard and Aerodactyl can't normally breed with each other in the games. Aerodactyl is in the Flying egg group exclusively, while the Charmander line is in the Dragon and Monster egg groups.

Go GM discretion, I guess?

I read one of these Eggs is Dark Purple. That means....it is a Egg of a Delta Charizard? It's gonna hatch into a Delta Charmander?

If you don't mind Dragonstrike, Heart could check the eggs with your permission? He knows a lot about Deltamons, so he might discover something about these Eggs.

....Well drat. I'm really beginning to regret my decision to ally with the Scimitars, since its causing a schism between Terra and Nathan that hardly anything can be done about non-drastically. Tsk.......and to think that the big lug's relationship was the most unambiguously positive one with Nathan until the Skull Ruins.....

Dragonstrike, do you think Nathan would be up to interacting with Terra via proxy, via Angie or Solomon? I'd like there to be some positive development between them beyond 'I clearly care for your safety, but I can understand why that's a bit of a stretch with him being decidedly Scimitar and Cosh friendly.....

That aside, what are you going to do with those Eggs, mate? Curious to know, really!

It's nothing that can't be fixed.  It just might take a little time.

Nathan wouldn't mind talking about pokemon or interact with them.  He's not a Scim.  And I definitely don't mind more development beyond a one dimensional character trait (apologies in advance if that comes across as offensive).

Hold onto them for a bit, maybe get some expert opinions on them later, see what hatches from them.  These are quite strange eggs after all.  We know who the parents are, but the fact that there's four different types of eggs is certainly quite strange even before considering what might come out of them.  I have a few guesses myself, but they obviously aren't necessarily going to be correct.

*Sighs* Here's hoping I or Terra don't make things worse until then, and prolonge that period.

Very well! I know just the perfect way to do that now, then! Oh, and I was referencing that Tentacruel scene with my past remark mainly, as an example of how tense things have gotten, so I'M sorry if what I said was offense to you. Have a couple of question about this, actually: what could Terra do soon to at least make Nathan feel better? Just because his relationship is in limbo with them doesn't mean he still won't try to do good and kind by them, beyond his given/self imposed duties.

Excellent plan! Would one of those experts be Shiva, or would you avoid showing her them out of the possibility she'd reject them due to their uncanny nature and origins? Or Ventus, for that matter? He's no breeder, but he is a researcher that has tons of connections and friends to help out there, if he can be contacted and convinced to help. Once they hatch, are you going to keep all the kids from them, or give them away to researchers and the like for conservation efforts?

Nathan was really only fussing about that because he was worried Terra was going to get into a fight, regardless of whether it was him who started it, lol.  Honestly, not a whole lot at the current moment could be done to improve things, though.  Not being buddy buddy with Cosh would help, but I'm not gonna ask you to change that behavior.  Of course, once Cosh isn't around any more (preferably behind bars), Nathan is probably gonna feel a lot better (depending on some other factors).  His dad being healed should help somewhat too (I so hope that Heart can manage to do that before we return to the surface).

If Nathan's gonna talk to a breeder, he's probably gonna have to talk to an experienced one about this.  1+1 usually equals 2, not 4!  You usually expect a predictable, static result (with some variation, but the basic traits like species remain the same) when breeding two pokemon.  That sounds like a pretty advanced breeding topic to me.  I have a few NPCs in mind to talk to that'd probably be interested in hearing about these two living fossils and their eggs for one reason or another.

[Spiritmon]

Well....since Dragonstrike didnt answer my question about show the Eggs to Heart I assume you gonna keep as a secret. Need to fix things first between Heart and Nathan.

[Dragonstrike]

Need to fix things first between Heart and Nathan.

Yes, please do that first.

'Experienced Breeder'.... Shiva's dad? I dunno if Nathan knows for certain in-chara that he's leading a Daycare as a freelancer, but he certainly knows that she's coming from a family of Pokemon Breeders. I see potential for friendly interaction/a display of 'we're good with one another' between Nathan and Shiva on the topic of these strange Eggs, and her dad can be contacted via mail for certain.

...If you'd be up for that and if Nathan doesn't hide the Eggs obviously. She wouldn't reject them just because they could origin from a strange undead Charizard, no worries on that end. More of the opposite, she'd be curious because these Eggs are rather unique!

I don't remember Shiva ever telling Nathan about her family.  There's never really been a reason for it to be brought up iirc.

Nathan is trying to keep the eggs hidden for now, but given that he's got 5 of them in his bag, Shiva would almost certainly notice it's looking a bit fuller than it was before, I think. Once she's looking, that is.
