Week 2.

[azumods]

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... CURRENT LOCATION: ROUTE 213 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!]

[ Zelda's outfit is no less elaborate, but perhaps more practical, given the boots and such. Either way, she's been sort of watching Alice both out of concern and some amount of fascination on and off since the march started today. On the one level, it is about as practical as Urbosa's form over function ceremonial outfit (well, no, Urbosa's had more support in the chest and more freedom in her legs...) and given the woman's appearance, it did remind her of the other woman but...

Alice was - clearly - no Gerudo. She was far too short and was not nearly as muscular as even the least robust Gerudo woman she had ever seen. So it's the heels more than anything which sees her somewhat awkwardly approaching her by the pond, trying not to interrupt her but... ]

Excuse me, Alice... but are you well, on our hike?

[She's probably noticed that Zelda had paid some special attention to her, but for the time being she's been ignoring it. And with the new outfit, she kind of expected other kinds of attention, but this was much better than what she could find in the department stores.

But it's probably best to respond now as she offers the other girl a kind smile.]

I'm perfectly fine. I may not look it, but I'm pretty tough. With the job I have back home, I'm on my feet all day so this is nothing.

[ Even so that... lack of shirt and those heels are...

Mmmmmmmm. ]

Is it not... chilly? Though I am glad you are not inconvenienced.

[ Err... ]
