Week 15.

[azumods]

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... CURRENT LOCATION: IRON ISLAND 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!

Oh yeah? Sounds like a pretty fun addition to your team. What did you end up naming that one?

[yuri yes]

[bloodspent]

Albert.

[...Yep.]

[fatalstrikes]

...Really? That's a surprisingly normal name. Is there some kinda story behind it?

[bloodspent]

Hey, not all of my names are terrible. Cvetka is a girl's name where I'm from.

[Just saying.]

Albert is a guy from back home. One of the crazy scientists causing problems. I'm pretty sure his special fucked up thing involved tentacles everywhere.

[fatalstrikes]

I never said your names were terrible!

But I'm not surprised to hear it, honestly. Pretty fitting to name a ball of tentacles after him. Hopefully your buddy isn't anywhere near as much of a pain.

[bloodspent]

He's okay, I'm pretty sure. I don't know him all that well, but he hasn't seemed like too much of a handful.

[fatalstrikes]

That's good. Most of these guys don't seem to be too much of a problem. You'll have to introduce me to Albert sometime.

[bloodspent]

Yeah, maybe. I've mostly been keeping 'em in the balls lately.

[...More like "he hasn't let them out of the balls in twelve fucking days."]

[fatalstrikes]

Yeah? Any particular reason why?

[He's definitely noticed that you haven't had any of them out whenever he's seen you, but surely you've taken them out at some point...]

[bloodspent]

Just how it's been lately.

[It probably involves feelings.]

[fatalstrikes]

[Ah, feelings. Got it.]

If there's ever anything I can do to help, let me know. If you wanna spar tonight to let off some steam, we can do that.

[There are a distinct lack of sticks to fight with in a cave, but that's fine he should probably work on hand-to-hand stuff anyway.]

[bloodspent]

That eager to get your ass kicked?

[This is easier than feelings!!]
