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!] |
morning
Good morning, Jake. [Duma is toddling ever-present at her feet, and she waves as she approaches.] Have you been up long?
no subject
[...Thanks, Jake.]
Keeping an eye on things, you know?

I see. Thank you for watching over us. You weren't all by yourself the whole night, were you? [rhetorical question she's already got a PRETTY GOOD GODDAMN GUESS AS TO THE ANSWER] I've no doubt there would be company if you asked for it.

[emmeryn please have mercy on him he's doing his best]
It's okay, though, I don't really mind.

At the very least, keeping watch in pairs would be safer. There are enough of us that I think we could even afford to take short shifts.

[...]
I'm pretty used to taking care of myself. I can handle whatever, don't worry too much about me. I've been doing this for a while.
[Says the twenty-year-old mercenary.]

I trust your steadfastness to keep us safe. Still, the journey is new and we can't be certain what will come next. It's going to be important to keep our strength up, in whatever small ways we can.

I don't...need to be worried about. It's okay.
no subject
I hope you won't be too offended if I cannot help it.
no subject
...I can live with it. Maybe.
no subject
Do try to get some rest tonight, at least. It's been well-earned. And if you wish for company, you need only ask.

If you really want to, I'm not gonna stop you. It'd be nice to get some sleep, at least for part of the night.
