Week 22.

[azumods]

WEEK 22 The last time you were in Snowpoint City, it was after a week of hiking through waist-deep snow and a perpetual storm; needless to say, the flight is a little rough due to turbulence but it's definitely nowhere near as miserable. Granted, the seasons are turning and as such the city is even colder than it was before; it was frigid in July, and as it turns out, it's even moreso in November. But the snowfall within the city itself is gentle, if constant, coating the buildings and rooftops with a light powder that sticks just enough to be played in. The temple doors are no longer frozen over, though the gym remains closed; the Shellos here seem to be trying to re-enact West Side Story again, but that's likely better than simply being blank and emotionless. There have thankfully been other changes to the world, as is noticeable when you arrive; among other things, the people at the Pokémon Center seem to recognize you, and they seem almost pleased to see you... CURRENT LOCATION: SNOWPOINT CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SURROUNDING ROUTES: SNOWY TERRAIN MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week twenty-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 this weekend!]

[They might be here under better circumstances than the last time, but Bucky still has spent the last few years living in Africa. He hates snow. But he grew up in Brooklyn, he's incredibly familiar with the variety of types of snow. He's just never seen this.]

I've never seen anything like it.

[Atsushi nods, holding out a hand to watch as the glistening snow settles in his palm, sparkling there as it melts.]

What do you think is causing it to sparkle like this?

[semistableman]

[Bucky watches for a long while before responding.]

Honestly? I don't know. It didn't do this the last time we were here. Maybe it's a special kind of snow.

[gekkaju]

Mm...well, it is very pretty, and it doesn't seem dangerous or anything. No use questioning it too much, right?

[semistableman]

I figure the locals would've said something if it was particularly dangerous. Maybe it's just rare and pretty.

[gekkaju]

I'll take rare and pretty over regular and dangerous any day.

[Atsushi smiles, holding out a hand so a few of the snowflakes can land into his palm.]

[semistableman]

You're telling me-- it's nice. I want to hope it's just pretty, and not dangerous.

[gekkaju]

I think the Pokemon would be a little more apprehensive if it was really bad. Most of mine are way smarter than I am.

[semistableman]

Yeah. I'm sure.

They'd know.
