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!] |

You found one?
[Seems like he's read about them!]
no subject
[She would have preferred better circumstances, but still....
Curious, Rey closes her book, keeping one finger within the pages to ensure she doesn't lose her place.]
Have you read about them?
no subject
[Rose being his own Pokemon companion- the Mimikyu sitting beside him.]
They seem like solid allies. Determined, striving for improvement. [...] At one point, at least.
no subject
Ah, I remember her. That's a nice name.
[At least, she's assuming it's a 'her' - the only other person she's heard of with that name was female, after all.]
I take it you didn't end up fighting her?
[She hasn't forgotten their conversation in the base, clearly - although there's an obvious hint of amusement in her voice.]
no subject
Rey's comment about their first encounter gets a snort from Eustace. But he doesn't take it too personally.]
I didn't. [He lightly rubs the body of Rose's costume with a gloved finger- the closest he can get to petting her.] Pokemon seem pretty different from my world's monsters, even without...all of this.
[The lack of spirit, that is.]
no subject
Likewise. My two-
[-since at this point, she's accepted the fact that Riolu is a Thing that is Happening-]
-definitely don't act like any of the animals I'm used to. Maybe calling them 'animals' isn't quite right, anyway. I can't stop recalling how Cynthia called them 'companions'.
[Sighing softly, Rey readjusts Golett's beanie.]
Now I just need to get used to the idea of having them fight on my behalf. It's....not what I'm used to.
[She's perfectly capable of fighting her own battles, after all.]
no subject
Never would've imagined I'd hear monsters referred to as companions...or that I'd be commanding one in battle.
[As Rey knows at this point, people fighting monsters is apparently a thing that happens in Eustace's world.]
I've coordinated with others in battle before, but being unable to properly fight myself is...new. Hoped I'd find my weapon back at the warehouse.
[Instead he just has a lonely holster for an apparently big weapon strapped to his thigh.]
