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...

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!]

No. Sounds like one of the more boring things you could do.

Don't tell me someone here will have to wrestle with a fish.
eudaimonikos: (you're out in the world)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-06-12 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe my cat can fish. Can you fish?

[Blank stare.]

...she can probably fish.

From the shore and without getting too deep into the lake, hopefully. I don't know how much felines like water in this world, but I doubt they love it.

I wasn't going to throw her in the lake. But these little ponds around are probably fine.

Right. It's not so bad of an idea getting these Pokemon to forage for food. Even if they don't have spirit, they should have the knowledge.

[Kiryu takes out a capsule from his pocket. Daigo can hunt, but he's small, he doubts he can drag anything back to camp. There's the other option he has right now, though...]

What can a bug bring us that could be good?

[Tree sap? Tree sap. Not useful, most likely]
eudaimonikos: (start over again and again)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-06-13 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Otherwise, they would have all starved to death by now.

[Hmmmm...]

Berries?

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-06-13 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Berries. Worth a try.

[Kiryu tosses the Pokeball up, it opens and a large form comes out of it. That sure is a beetle taller than some of the kids in the group. Kiryu pats him on the back of the head, and asks him with a gentler tone that's so different to how he usually talks:]

Try to find some berries, alright? Anything you can find.

[Heracross doesn't even nod before opening his wings and going into the forest]

[Michael raises his eyebrows.]

You didn't say the bug was that big. It could bring back small animals.

Forgot to mention that. I'm still having a bit of a hard time trying to comprehend a bug as large as that beetle exists.

[Kiryu seems to be a bit slow on the uptake when it's about the impossibilities of the Pokemon world, yup]

eudaimonikos: (as many times)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-06-13 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Bugs used to be much larger, you know. Giant dragonflies, cockroaches, things like that. I think it had something to do with all the oxygen back then.

Anyway, yours is well under the size where it might suffocate under its own weight.
