Week 21.

[azumods]

WEEK 21 It's been a while since you were last in Eterna City. While it seems you've suffered another setback on Sunday morning, hopefully it won't completely break your morale; there have been many losses lately, but you have to keep going, especially once the state of things in Eterna City become more clear to you upon your arrival there. The city, for lack of a better word, seems torn - the buildings seem almost patchwork in places, having been torn apart at the seams and replaced with things that seem to have come from elsewhere and nowhere all at once. Parts of other buildings, parts of trees, parts of roads, even - stay in one spot long enough and you can see it happen. It isn't ripples or pulses, like it was with Dialga; this is violent, something sharp and harsh whipping through the air in a burst of energy, tearing through all inanimate objects in its path and replacing them with something that frankly shouldn't be there. Thankfully, the cause of this doesn't seem to be targeting you; it will leave you unharmed, though your Pokémon are definitely aware of it and the rending will cause them to flinch whenever it fires off, regardless of if it hits them or not. It's likely a stressful time for them - just as it is for the locals, who don't seem too willing to leave their homes at the moment... CURRENT LOCATION: ETERNA CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SURROUNDING ROUTES: PLAINS/FOREST SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY [OOC: Welcome to week twenty-one 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.]

Our track record is bizarrely good. Almost feels like it can't possibly hold out.

[anythingforyou]

Oh gods, don't say something like that. You'll wind up jinxing us into something we couldn't possibly recover from at this rate.

[WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE ANYMORE STRINGS OF BAD LUCK]

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, that's not real. Whatever's going to happen, it'll happen by itself.

[but maybe they don't have to talk about it at length, sure]

[anythingforyou]

[...]

You're a demon, but you don't believe in jinxes or the like.

[She sounds honestly kind of incredulous???]

[eudaimonikos]

What? Those are human superstitions, it doesn't have anything to do with me. Do you think my type talk to people through Ouija boards, too?

[anythingforyou]

...Are you saying that they don't?

[BUT SHE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THOSE, WHAT THE FUCK?]

[eudaimonikos]

No. No interfering with Earth, that's one of the first rules.

[...]

I kinda wish we did, it sounds like fun. Just call up a human whenever you want? I'd have loved that back in the day!

[anythingforyou]

[well some peddler is getting decked in the face if she gets home, fucking asshole]

...Gods, you would have the time of your life, wouldn't you. Dare I ask what you would have even done?

[you know what, now she's curious]

[eudaimonikos]

I...well, I guess I would have just scared the shit out of people. Impersonated dead loved ones to screw with them, convinced them their house was haunted, that kind of thing.

[He actually sounds a little put out by this realization, because that is all he'd have done. His job. The idea that had him excited now was getting to chat with humans, not just small long-distance tortures.]

I mean, that would have been fun.

[anythingforyou]

[...ah, that's...hm.]

...Well, what do you think you would do now? If you had that opportunity.

[eudaimonikos]

[That perks him right back up again.] Ooh, I just wanna chat! I've never gotten to just do the random human small talk thing. Who usually uses those, teen girls at sleepovers?

[He considers this, then snaps his fingers.]

I could give them life advice. [nO]
