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!] |

You do praise me far too much, Camilla.
[ ... ]
But I ... I actually came to tell you, though we are powerless, we are not hopeless. I meant to assure you of that much. [ . . . ] ... I am not a stranger to hardship, and nor is Hyrule.
no subject
[Mmm, it's...she doesn't want to come off as difficult to easily her most favorite person here. It's not something Camilla wants to just. Drop on her like that. Camilla's no boar.]
...I understand what you're saying, dear, I really do. It's...hard, but I am doing my best to manage. I suppose I simply lament being poor at dealing with an enemy presence. Really, the fact that you do your best in spite of those hardships...
Well, I can't say anything for the girl you are where you come from, but I think the girl I see here is...enviable.
no subject
She shakes her head. She... ]
... I do not think it empty, because I do not wish to doubt your words. But I do hope you are not blinded by some image of me. ... I am scared as well. I too am frustrated.
[ . . . ]
I have no skill at arms, and I never have had much ability to fight. For much of my life ... no, I suppose for almost all of it, words and knowledge were all I had. I am relying on all of you here, should things come to blows.
no subject
[Camilla's look is utterly serious when she places a hand atop Zelda's own. She needs more assurance, doesn't she? That's what this is, right? Camilla seems to be confused, but determined.]
You can absolutely rely on us. I'm certain anyone here would be willing to protect you. I would personally break the hand of the cretin who would attempt to harm a precious little hair on your head; you needn't ever worry about the blows coming your way.
Unless...of course, it is something you ever wish to learn. But...I'm not altogether certain you would like such a thing.
no subject
... But while she did intend to support Camilla, she did some out here for another reason as well. ]
I ... actually intended to ask you, Camilla, how you have approached learning the combat of this world. The Pokemon battling.
no subject
Oh, it's very simple, dear! I pick out something that my darling partners are able to face off against; I bought a few books covering some of the...'types' these creatures have. I pick something to suit their strength and send them after any ones I can find so they can get stronger!
[...Yeah.]
Of course, I try not to let them go on for too long...they get so tired out, and I don't want to hurt them. But that's the way I make my little darlings stronger.
no subject
[ That doesn't. Sit well with her. but. ]
no subject
[????????
Zelda, you just lost her. This is totally fine?]
no subject
It seems... strange, to be the aggressor so much.
no subject
[?????]
no subject
[ She shakes her head a moment, and... yes, she'll have to do that, won't she? So as to not be... well, more of a burden. ]
no subject
[It'd at least make sense if she was worried about the creatures dying, at least.]
no subject
... That's good, though she does worry if the knocked out ones are easy pickings for predatory actions? She nods, and the gestures to Miphanus. ]
... I would appreciate your insights on direction.
no subject
Well, to start with...do you know what sort of fighting style he has? What moves he can use--that will be the first step into finding a good opponent for him.
no subject
[ She glances back at the eyeball arm, which floats closer in, knowing its been addressed. ]
About the only move I have known it to have is a very potent looking tackle.
no subject
Why don't we go look for a suitable foe, then?
no subject
[ Okay so... time...
To find something along the beach here to pick a fight with, Miphanus behind her. ]
