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...

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!]

morning

Good morning, Kiryu.

[Emmeryn hasn't decided if she likes sand better than dirt yet but none of it has affected her usual good mood. Duma's following along as she walks over and raises one hand in greeting.]

Is something the matter with Daigo?

...I can't say for sure, but he moved. [Sounds stupid when he puts it like that, so he adds:] What I mean is that he did something I'm not sure he'd have done just a few days ago: he actually reacted to something.

[It's encouraging, that's for sure]
divinedescendant: (there's the smoke fills your lungs)

[personal profile] divinedescendant 2018-06-14 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Did he?

[Maybe it's kind of stupid and small on its own, but Emmeryn's expression quickly goes bright and soft.]

That's marvelous to hear. Ah, and he isn't the only one, either... I would like to think they're beginning to wake up, in a way.

They are? [This is all happening quicker than Kiryu expected] This group is bound to get rather lively soon.

[Now he can't avoid wondering how Daigo will be like once he's fully awake from his morose attitude]
divinedescendant: (but at least you can breathe)

[personal profile] divinedescendant 2018-06-15 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I won't speak for the others, but this one— [gesturing towards Duma with her skirt, tone lightly scolding] —went trying to find a fight yesterday.

[please pick a different feeling to have than "headbutts"??? but she smiles, so genuinely charmed by the way he talks about the group being livelier.]

It will do us all some good, I think, to see these ones in brighter spirits, too.

Really? You mean against a wild Pokemon? [Okay, that's a pretty big sign of progress!] Do you think they're improving because they're with us?

[Like they're following their example at having emotions and what not, he means]
divinedescendant: (the candles that burn on their own)

[personal profile] divinedescendant 2018-06-15 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
One stood in his path, and he didn't like that very much.

[please pick a different feeling to have than headbutts]

It's possible. It's hard to say for sure without knowing just what brought us to our senses, but they may very well be following our example.

[not her example specifically though, probably. whyyyy headbutting]

It could be your partner has too much energy. Somehow. [Well, a way to know for sure if it's just aggressiveness would be to give a chance to fight, he supposes. With a wave, he beckons Daigo to approach] Let's see how Duma reacts.

[you mean you havent been going around headbutting people, emmeryn???]

I admit I thought it'd take longer than this.
