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 guess a couple people are dressing up their partners now.

[He adjusts the little bow on the bird for emphasis.]

It's a good way to give them confidence.

[niceoppai]

That makes sense! I figured it'd help with the sense of self, too.

[semistableman]

That's what I'm hoping.

I don't know how possible it'll be, but I'm working on it for both of them.

[niceoppai]

I gotta wonder what they were like. What everyone was like before this.

[semistableman]

Couldn't guess with the animals. Flora probably acted like a goat, I guess. Feisty, independent, playful. This one looks kind of like a pigeon, but I don't really know a lot about 'em besides they're everywhere in the city I grew up in.

[He's not sure he even wants to speculate on the people.]

[niceoppai]

Pigeons are in just about every city, or something like them is. They just kinda go to where the food is.

[semistableman]

Right.

I bet she's an opportunist, then. Constantly getting into trouble.

[niceoppai]

Could be. It's kinda sad that we have to think of that ourselves, but...
