Week 17.
WEEK 17 There are disturbances in Veilstone. Although perhaps saying that there are disturbances in Veilstone is understating it; the first thing that's going to be immediately noticeable is the fact that there are few to no people outside of their residences. They're still there, they're definitely present in town, and it doesn't look like Team Galactic has done any mass recruitment recently; at the same time, they don't seem inclined to leave their homes unless their task is absolutely necessary. The reasons why will soon become apparent, the longer you remain in the city; soft bursts of force will ripple across the city from time to time, and every time they do something shifts. The edges of buildings will suddenly decay, aging before your eyes into something that seems to have been abandoned for years; sometimes parts of the streets will vanish as you walk, turning into something hard and rocky, seemingly still untouched by human intervention. Occasionally the leaves will turn bright colors and drop off of the trees, only to regrow anew again almost immediately. Perhaps most tellingly is the fact that your concept of the passage of time is no longer entirely halted - you're aware that time is certainly passing, though it's difficult to say in what direction. It's obvious now more than ever that time exists in a sort of fourth dimension, coming at the world from a different angle entirely to the more planar space that you're still not certain you're perceiving correctly; throughout all of this, the Team Galactic base remains sealed. Whatever it is you're going to do about this, you might want to formulate a plan of some sort this week. POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY [OOC: Welcome to week seventeen 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.] |

"Once. Before the...stuff that happened."]

[Is it good? It sounds like it should be good. He looks to Liam for a second, like a man with no spirit is gonna give him some kind of emotional cue here.]
She did seem to be doing better, last I saw of her. [though, of course. Stuff has happened since.]
no subject
"She didn't want Commander Jupiter to see. Said she'd probably take it. Told me to keep it for her, she'd come back for it when everything was over."]

[Michael leans forward, but doesn't make a move to touch it. He'll have to tell Rey.]
A friend of mine gave her that! It's something from her world. They're meant to lead you back to what's important.
[And that's a really frou-frou way of describing a simple tracking beacon, but he doesn't think it's wrong. It actually seems more accurate. He leans back in his chair again and rests his chin in his hand for a moment, before seeming to come to a decision.]
Hey, you wanna see something?
no subject
"Sure."
As much as one can want anything right now, why not.]
no subject
This is Lena!
[He scoops the Mawile up and plops her in his lap, for once in the correct way one might handle a small child. She's been getting more engaged lately; upon seeing the container of cookies, she reaches out to try to grab one with her little arms.]
Her egg hatched right after we all met Maylene. I've never really told anybody this, but she's named for her. I found Maylene...impressive.
