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!]

[okay well she's gotta adjust the sticks under her arms first but she. holds out one hand. so she can take the cherries? berries??? this whole situation???? in the palm of her hand.]

What a curious thing. [she has this now, she guesses???] It is rather cute, though.

[ Oh did Emmeryn not have a bag... she should offer a bag...

That said, Zelda's beldum is interested in this and floats closer to check this out, but... there, yeah, that is definitely a cherubi. It kinda is just blankly staring at the world with the one face which seems awake at all?

... Zelda though, ]

It is. The ecology and diversity of Pokemon is frankly amazing too...

[look. she's not prepared. she has a backpack and it's full of fabric because she had to pack her stupid goddamn robe from the warehouse and all these skirts and shit. we've already established that she has no idea what the fuck she's doing. IT'S FINE, THOUGH, IT'S FINE, SHE'LL FIGURE IT OUT]

I can't say I've ever encountered anything like them. I keep finding new surprises even just in our companions, never mind each new creature we find along the way. [She lightly shifts the Cherubi in her hand, just as much to indicate it as in fruitless hopes to get some kind of reaction from it.] You have a keen eye, spotting this little one as you did.

Thank you for saying so.

[ Her cheeks color a little bit more, but she shifts a little as she stands, brushing her hair lightly and then considers offering to take the sticks - no, she should... just do that, right? So instead, she stands close, a bag over her shoulder full of various things she collected for camp. Forage.

That said, she glances at the Cherubi some more, ]

I was looking for forage, and I initially took it for another berry.

[ That said ]

It is amazing the different forms they take... I do wonder what this world might've acted like, without this damage to people's spirits. I doubt they would have been as aggressive as the monsters at home.
