Week 18.
WEEK 18 Hearthome City isn't the farthest distance away that you've traveled, but it seems that Saturn was right in telling you that it would be a good distance away from Veilstone; surrounded by forest and with the massive shadow of Mount Coronet spreading from the west, it manages to feel both massive and secluded. As usual, there's a good amount to look at, and more than enough to keep you busy; now that the flow of time has been restarted, it may feel almost like there's not enough hours in the day. Of course, that's not the only thing that's changed lately; despite the fact that there's been another one of those setbacks, it seems that overall, you've done something for the world. There's a lot more to be done, of course, but any signs of progress are good signs. POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SURROUNDING ROUTES: PLAINS/FOREST MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week eighteen 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. Don't forget that a write-up is due this weekend!] |

Sorry for the delay on this, the first part of the week was a lot.All right, so! Hey, Michael. What are you doing, precisely?]
no subject
No worries!The rooms with the lantern mazes don't exactly seem like they're going to be rife with valuable information. So he's just gonna start making his way through there (cheating via his flashlight) and try to locate something that...isn't a maze room. He'll scan the walls as he goes to check for doors or secret hidden passages, or whatever the heck Ghost Gym might contain.]

There's an area in the back where the trainer tends to wait for people; there does seem to be a door set into the back wall, however.]

Hi, I'm Michael. You're still in the Sinnoh Place, because your afterlife is insane. But that's alright.
[Okay now let's try the door?]

Anyway.
There's a small room back here, it looks like, similar to the one Kiryu found in Gardenia's gym; that said, it seems to be a lot...brighter in here somehow? Despite the fact that the place is in, you know, the dark as fuck Ghost gym, the place seems covered in sparkles and glitter, the room decorated heavily in sparkly shades of purple. God, it looks like a twelve-year-old from the nineties designed this place.
That said, there are lots of pictures tacked up on the walls, featuring a woman in a long dress and white gloves with various Ghost-type Pokémon - she seems happy, hugging or cuddling with them if their physical bodies will allow for it, and in one of them in particular (taken with a rather large Drifblim hovering just over her shoulder) she's showing off a case full of fancy display ribbons, clearly prizes from some sort of competition.
...Woman really loves her ghosts, apparently.
So there's that, though there's also a desk in here, as well as a couch with what looks like one of those portable DVD players sitting on it.]

...okay, done. Let's see what's in Sparkle Lady's DVD player.]

Fun fact: We know this because, in these godforsaken games, Fantina canonically quotes Galaxy Quest.
Take a wild guess what's in there, buddy.]

Uh, Michael's leaving this on, because Galaxy Quest is a good movie which means that they probably didn't play it in hell. But he'll take it over to the desk so he can just keep half an eye on it while he checks if there's any drawers or fun papers or anything there.]
