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!]

I think sending a bird is a far better idea than direct infiltration. If anyone is captured in the process, they will likely wind up back where we began; in the same state as the test of Team Galactic. Given our comparative numbers as well as inferior strength by this world's standards, a recovery mission following such an incident will not be an option ending in anything but failure.

[enjoymyatelier]

Exactly. I don't really think we can afford that, either, with our numbers as limited as they are.

[discutio]

We can't. And even if our numbers were less limited, I'd not take such a risk regardless. Not with such a low chance of success, and not when we still question whether or not we have the capability to reverse that apathetic state ourselves.

[enjoymyatelier]

Yes, of course. But I am starting to agree with Tohsaka that we're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place as far as Team Galactic's presence here is concerned. I'd at least like to see if there's a way we can confirm the Lake Guardian is there or not....
