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!] |

Not really used to the outdoors?
[There's nothing snide in Rey's voice; if anything, there's a light tone of amusement. The rather impractical outfit was only her first clue - there's something about this woman that feels incredibly regal, but nothing to suggest she's got any idea what she's doing out here in the wilderness.
Hopefully she's got a decent Pokemon by her side.]

This is my first time traveling like this, truthfully... I hope I've been doing well enough keeping pace. I would hate to slow us down.

If it's your first time travelling like this, you have nothing to worry about. You're doing really well.

Although I would suggest considering a slightly different outfit. A good pair of pants might make you feel more comfortable with the routes.
[Plus they have so many pockets! Provided you buy from the men's section, anyway.]

[She's still smiling, though, light and friendly. At least she's the most stylish person on this march probably... ]
Do let me know, though, if you need an extra set of hands for anything—I certainly don't want to be uselessly following along, and I think I could learn a few things from you.

[Rey seems embarrassed by the praise, but not in a bad way - if anything, she's elated, and her cheeks redden slightly. This lady is so friendly.]
But I'll keep your offer in mind. Just...
[...]
...don't think that you're just uselessly following along because you're not experienced. Sometimes just...being there for everyone can be good, on a journey like this. For morale, you know? Being together.
[god that was phrased badly ONE DAY...SHE WILL NOT BE AWKWARD AROUND NICE PEOPLE....]
I appreciate having company, anyway. Regardless of their attire.
no subject
Those are very kind words, Rey. Thank you—Truly, I mean that. We've a wonderful group here, don't we? The journey has been hard, but the company has made it worthwhile.
no subject
Fortunately, Rey's internal struggle with said niceness will not show on her face, as she's still smiling and doesn't really want to stop.]
...we do. I haven't met so many kind people...well, ever.
[welp she didn't mean to say that, must keep the conversation positive-]
It makes me feel like we might actually stand a chance of escaping this place. Maybe even stopping Team Galactic.
Or at least standing up to them, anyway.
no subject
I agree. It can be discouraged to see how outmatched we are in numbers...but only numbers. We're lucky to have each other's strength to rely on.
I don't doubt that things will turn out all right for us in the end, one way or another.
