Week 15.
WEEK 15 The past week has been a difficult one, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier; for the time being it seems the world is stagnating. This much lack of change isn't normal, at least not compared to the first time you've arrived; there are only two possible conclusions to be drawn - either Cyrus has finally succeeded in what he's been trying to accomplish, or some sort of drastic action is going to need to be taken before this world can even begin to be saved. That doesn't mean you have no potential resources, however; outside of a bit of a setback that will hit your group on Sunday morning, the departure toward Iron Island is a reasonably smooth one. Granted, it's a bit odd given that the sailor taking you out there is just as startlingly blank as the rest, but at least he seems to know where you're trying to go, it appears to have been discussed with him in advance, and getting you there is possible. The trip out there by boat will take half of Sunday; hopefully you enjoy being on the open ocean for that long. But eventually a rocky island will fade into your field of view on the horizon, and when you're allowed off the boat it'll become clear rather quickly that the island is very, very large. And with so many massive caverns to go through, it will soon become very obvious that this isn't just going to be a day trip. Finding Riley looks to be a fairly difficult task, but it isn't impossible; furthermore, there may be reasons for hope to be found in the abandoned mines of Iron Island. There are a few people here, and while they seem a little strange still, they also seem to have their spirits a bit more intact than those on the mainland; talking to them will reveal the same difficulties and conversational problems that the other citizens of Sinnoh were experiencing for a while, but they aren't nearly as blank as they used to be... POKEMON AVAILABLE: IN CAVES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week fifteen of Azume; feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters! This post is for all of your interactions this week... at least until the weekend.] |

[Atsushi swallows, shaking his head.]
W-well, we're going to have to keep going straight ahead, I guess. Turning back might just get us more lost...are any of your Pokemon strong enough to leave marks in any of these rocks?
no subject
[Well, maybe Snorunt or Skorupi wouldn't, but he's not sure they're strong enough to leave marks. The rest have so much strength he's sure they'd obliterate the rocks and maybe part of a wall]
no subject
[Without prompting, upon hearing that, the Stunky trots over to the nearest rock her size and uses Fury Swipes on it, leaving scores of little marks on the surface. They're a touch hard to see, but at least they do stand out against the other rocks.]

[Although they may need a plan B or plan C, just in case...]
Or if we're in a pinch we can ask Kobayakawa-kun's Abra to take us out of here. That'd be quicker if anything dangerous comes our way.
[And the Abra will have to make like twenty-five trips to take everyone out]
no subject
That's a good idea...assuming we can find him, anyway. I'm not sure I've seen any of the others for a while, have you?
no subject
[He hadn't noticed that. Maybe because he was paying more attetion to potential threats than to his allies. Way to go, Kiryu.
Should they...call for them...? He's hesitating because, even if it's a very small risk, in theory it could lead to a lot of trouble]
no subject
...let's keep heading forwards for now. At least if we're going in circles we'll be able to tell by the rocks.
