Week 2.
WEEK 2. The new week begins with new surroundings. The city you've been growing accustomed to over the past week is now well behind you as you set out on your journey proper; the terrain still seems rocky and steep here as you move downhill and to the south, dotted here and there with small ponds to the east and rocky outcroppings that you can climb on to the west. There are also large expanses of tall grass here, and the entire route is flanked with tall trees leading off into the forest a short ways. You're more than welcome to explore; just don't stray too far from the group - you wouldn't want to be left behind out here, for any reason. Wild Pokémon are abundant here, as anyone venturing into the tall grass will discover; they aren't inclined to attack you, however, simply watching with dull, dead eyes as you stumble through the area they've come to call home. The trip is difficult, and it's a lot of walking, but it's not unmanageable; fortunately enough, the route you're on should lead you directly to Valor Lakefront, assuming there are no complications along the way. From Thursday and beyond, the route takes a sharp turn west; in front of you lies what's clearly the ocean, large rocks jutting out just offshore tempering the waves. It's safe to go in the water if you so choose - assuming you can swim, that is - and the forested terrain has given way to a large beach with patches of tall grass here and there. Interestingly, there's a house located on the beach; whether it's inhabited or not is difficult to tell. Of course, exploring slightly north of the beach will reveal a path. Maybe it leads somewhere important... POKEMON AVAILABLE: NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week two 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 next weekend!] |
Night
I do not know either. Shall we investigate?
no subject
Yeah, let's go.
no subject
But with another nod and a determined look, she does let him go first, but she's in no way hesitating to go and head out towards there with her partner to get on in there to see what's up!! ]
no subject
It doesn't take more than a few steps for them to leave the remaining light of the campfire and fully plunge into the night. Thankfully the moon provides a little more light, but they're more or less able to get closer to the eyes without them taking notice of their exact location.
Their footsteps tip the creatures off though, and the eyes start moving back a bit. Their form at this distance is recognizable though- in part because their own eyes illuminate each other as they sway, and Eustace and Zelda will be able to make out what they are before they continue retreating. It's a group of five or six ghouls...?]
Huh. [Eustace speaks in a low whisper.] Bet these things could be a nuisance if they weren't like this.
no subject
... I remember reading of these. I thought they resembled poes, but they do even more so in person.
[ quietly, of course, and trying to not ... you know, make them run off or anything more than they already are. ]
no subject
Eustace keeps his gaze on them as they slow their retreat, having realized they're no longer being followed. Now it's just another staredown.]
Poes something from your world?
no subject
[ So, there's that. ]
no subject
I get what you mean. [...] Did the information on the Pokemon itself match up at all?
no subject
[ she racks her brain for the other relevant information. It was a children's book, so... ]
They venture out only at night, based on what I read.
no subject
[...]
Anything about their nature? I'm thinking it's best we discourage them from what they're doing either way, to be safe.
no subject
[ Mmmm Oh! ] And they are capable of moving through walls.
no subject
[That's the impression he's getting, at least. It's kind of specific to kids, and there aren't too many of those in the group. Hmm.]
Suppose we can just keep an eye on them for now.
no subject
[ She arches an eyebrow at them, considering . . . ]
no subject
...Yeah, like the other wild Pokemon. It's a good frame of reference to have if they start getting their energy back, though.
no subject
... Well, her goal. ]
Agreed, and we know they can linger around this area at night, where we don't even appear to be near an ruins.
no subject
I'll watch for them as we go. Got a feeling that they're not going to be the last Ghost-types we come across out here if these ones are already out of place.
no subject
[ So there are more ghosts than just these guys. ]
no subject
Ah, yeah. That first one- Gastly? I think I remember seeing some around the city. Not out here on the road, though.
[So far.]
no subject
[ In her books. ]
