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

[ Throughout the entire time, Ventus' eyes were wide and large as he was listening in closely to Yuri's spooky tale, also holding the marshmellow close to the fire still as he did. He even tried to hold back a jump at when the other said 'bang' and was mostly successful.

... Though around the part regarding the Captain, he leans forward, and then after the pause he makes a small gasp of surprise.

When Yuri finishes, he still has this gobsmacked look on his face, until he shakes out of it. ]


Do you still hear the bones rattling even though you're here?

[ God he totally believes it 100% even though it's embellished. ]

[Ventus, you're exactly the right kind of audience for this story. Thank you for eating it up!!]

I haven't heard them. Yet, anyway. It's been kind of nice to be free of that. But sometimes I think I see something moving out of the corner of my eye...

[He gasps loudly and turns suddenly to look over toward the bushes.]

...Or maybe not.

[yuri you're an asshole]

[personal profile] ventulus 2018-06-14 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, what?

[ Ventus looks surprised and suddenly raises to his feet at that as he turns to look at the bushes himself. Then he looks back at Yuri when it ends up being a big fat nothing (predictably). ]

Oh. Well, if you hear anything, let me know. That guy won't stand a chance if it's us against him!

[ ... Because he still thinks it's entirely possible for a skeleton to somehow travel to an entirely different world. Someone teach this kid some sense. ]

[This is the cutest thing he's ever seen, he loves it.]

You really think so? Well, I'll put my faith in you, so don't let me down!

[ He looks pretty proud at that. ]

Thanks! So... why were you guys traveling anyway? Were you just looking for treasure?

[ He's a little curious about that. ]

Nah, it all started because someone stole a blastia from the Lower Quarter. I picked up a friend along the way who wanted to meet with another friend of mine, and from there we ended up gathering a few other like-minded individuals.

I eventually did get the core back, but after that my friend wanted to continue travelling, so I went with her.

[That's the simple way of putting it, anyway.]

We kinda stumbled into something bigger than ourselves, so we were trying to stop it; we'd just finished taking the guy responsible for all of it down. And then I woke up here.

Oh. Well, at least you weren't taken from in the middle of doing all of that. It sounds like a pretty big deal...

[ He tilted his head at that. ]

What's a blastia supposed to be, anyway? Some kind of thing that...blasts stuff around?

[ If it was, he could see why he'd want to get it back. It'd sure sound like trouble in the wrong hands... ]

[personal profile] fatalstrikes 2018-06-15 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I should've explained that... No, not the one I was looking for. Blastia have all sorts of uses, and sure, some of them can be used as weapons. But the one I was looking for was to power a fountain in the Lower Quarter. Without it, the fountain was going out of control and flooding.

[i mean he sure took his sweet time getting it back so it probably wasn't that big of a deal???]

[personal profile] ventulus 2018-06-15 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh.

[ That sounds like a pretty big deal to him!! ]

Well, at least they did get it back. Did you know why someone stole it in the first place?

They were collecting blastia for some guy. Probably got paid pretty well for a blastia that large. The whole operation's been taken care of, though; so people won't have to worry about that anymore.

[Never mind that the guy responsible for it all is hella dead, that's not important!!]
ventulus: (24)

[personal profile] ventulus 2018-06-16 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good.

[ He smiles a little. He kind of thinks doing all of that is pretty amazing -- it sounded like it probably got a little complicated but he's glad it worked. ]

I haven't known you for long, but...you really do sound like the type of person people can depend on.
fatalstrikes: (✵ 044)

[personal profile] fatalstrikes 2018-06-17 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Dependable, huh? I kinda like that. I hope I don't let you down.

[is this a trustfell joke]
ventulus: (59)

[personal profile] ventulus 2018-06-17 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ No, what are you talking about. Ofc not.

Yes it is. ]


I'm sure you won't, unless when it's time for sleep you started to snore out here sooo loud you wake everyone up.

[good because i'm laughing!!]

Hah! I'm pretty sure I don't snore. I think someone would've told me by now if I was keeping them up!
