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

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

'Important' and 'importance' are very wide and subjective words, and right now what's most important to me is enjoying some downtime at home with Shiva and visiting Garlicburg and Earthstar Forest, so I'd really really prefer if anything that needs the group to come together for discussions again would occur LATER - the current in-game Day has been going on for so long already, and it itches me to move on.

If Shiva even attends due to wishing to follow her business at her own pace/if it does involve the Deltadog, I'm not even sure yet.

It won't be this in game day that he brings it up.  It'll be later.  I already have an idea of when exactly he'll mention it.

I would not be saying it's important if it didn't involve everyone in some way.  If it was merely of personal importance, then I wouldn't be saying anything at all.

I still want to get Nathan's last Gym Badge and teach some moves before this day is over, tbh.

This is perfectly fine, since I still have somethings for Shiva to cover, but I kinda would wish for anything that isn't very-urgent as well as any talks with NPCs that are expected to take more than a few posts to wrap up to postpone to after Garlicburg.

And I do believe that should be the final nail in the coffin on how much we can trust Orthros.  Expect to see the hound out and about with Nathan a lot more in the future since there's no doubt in his mind remaining that Orthros is a loyal, trustworthy friend.

He'll likely explain why to everyone later, as it's actually a fairly important topic.

Terra already liked and trusted Orthros, so it Evolving and behaving perfectly angelic isn't going to be a shock to his system. He'll be just as happy as Nathan about that, really, as it reconfirms that the brain doggo is indeed a good doggo if you love and care for them. #Go Team Orthros! all the way!

Ventus, though.....well, he already decided to 'bury the hatchet' with Orthros, and he did say he would be open to being convinced that Orthros kind are not purely evil dream demon spawn, so getting him to be more okay with them isn't impossible. He'll still be distinctly uncomfortable around them (Hard not to be, after his experiences with them), but he'll try to appear and act normal as he can around them. 

Neither Terra nor Ventus will try to change Shiva's mind on Orthros, however. The former because he respects everyone's opinions and understands her fear, and the later for blatently obvious reasons. But neither will support her opinions either. Shiva's going to be on her own with disdaining and not wanting anything to do with Orthros, sadly.

On the topic of things to do, I sorta want this in-game day to end too FAST, so that I can get a move on to finishing up Terra's lab, going to Syrentide's Well to get her to Wish Deoxys Clone more Loyal to him, and him also want to collect all the Gym Badges in Cheshire to cross that off his to-do list and prepare himself for the next set of trails coming his way. He's still quite a few Gyms to bust down, primarily the VIT one, as I want him to get *+ 7 VIT ASAP!

That's very appreciated and reasonable, I'm totally okay with that - as long as Ventus does not pressure or judge her due to not wanting to change her mind concerning Orthrus, that'd be mean to no degree and neither she nor I would enjoy that. Alright?

He wouldn't do that to his girlfriend (for the aforementioned blatantly obvious reasons), so alright indeedy!

You're welcome to do some things that belong in the next Day today, if they are things that don't require a ton of my input. Even a gym battle would be fine to flashforward to during diceless. The trip to Garlicburg might get complicated to split across multiple timelines though.

Hmm....then I will have Terra do three of Gym Battles against Archilles and Dark type and Fairy Gym Leaders (forgot their names, sorry!)  in-game Tomorrow, just to get them out of the way and not have to worry about them as I do the groundwork and progressing for Terra's lab, Legendary projects (and deals with Mega Syrentide to help manage/start them thereof), and keeping him updated on Cosh's Legal case/status. Those Gym battles will get him prepared for The Garilburg and Merspirt quests too, so they have a double useful purpose!

If Archiles can do another Gym Battle today and it won't advance the clock to the next in-game day, though, I want Terra to have his Gym Battle with him after Nathan wraps up his business with them and goes of to prepare themselves for the trials ahead.

[Spiritmon]

And for me, just do the forest restoration. Or at least try.

Those two Gym Leaders would be Howl (located in Elanor) and Angela (located in either the Nature Preserve or Safari Zone).

The problem with fighting Angela is she's one of the three toughest Gym Leaders in the region (the others being Tanuki and Dagny), and her battle will have to be rolled as a result iirc.

Slight Spoiler, though: I'm planning to do a battle in the future that will likely have to be rolled as well.  Doing those two fights at around the same time would be fairly efficient time wise, I think.
