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!] |

Well. That's... an interesting Pokemon you have.
[he has not actually encountered Mimikyu yet but holy shit...]

Ah, yeah. ["Interesting" sure is a word for her.] I don't think she's from this region- couldn't find anything on her.
[As the two talk, Rose takes the opportunity watch Kayneth as well. Enjoy those creepy squiggly eyes boring into your soul, Kayneth.]
no subject
[he kind of bends down to look at it...]
...is it wearing some sort of bootleg Pikachu costume?
no subject
...Rose doesn't react at all though, lacking the ability to care.]
Think so. [...and Eustace agrees. Okay.] Not sure if she's trying to disguise as one or just really likes Pikachu. She won't take it off though.

I get the impression this is the sort of situation where you really, really shouldn’t, even if you’re curious.
[...the way he’s saying it, it’s like he’s trying to convince himself...]
no subject
Good luck.
[What kind of cryptic response is that? Is it encouragement to try or a warning??]

[For whatever reason, Eustace doesn't seem too concerned about seeing what she really looks like.]

It's possible. I've been getting the sense that she might be Ghost-type. [...hmmm.] Still wonder how she ended up with that costume, though. She already had it when I first brought her out of her ball.

I figure it's important to her at least- it's well-worn. [Like a memento, maybe. Either way, he shrugs.] I don't plan on making her change it unless she wants to.

[But he's not that great at mending clothes...but oh-]
I could ask Camilla if she has anything on hand. She made Rose's scarf, so maybe...
