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!]

It does...

[Michael contemplates it, and then licks some of it off his sleeve.]

Bleh, wool.

[gekkaju]

[Oh my god Michael.]

Taste anything otherworldy in there?

[eudaimonikos]

[He grimaces a little, and tries it again.]

I think it's just carbon.

[gekkaju]

[As if Michael's admission means that it's safe, Atsushi's Eevee starts opening her mouth to the sky as well, trying to catch the snowflakes as they fall.]

Better that than something dangerous. The sparkling is probably some kind of trick of the light, maybe...or maybe the ice crystals are larger than normal or something.

[eudaimonikos]

[Michael looks up into the sky thoughtfully.]

I wonder if a meteor went past or something...

[gekkaju]

A meteor? Might be...we probably would've seen it if that was it though, wouldn't we?

[He's never seen one in real life so he wouldn't know anyway.]

[eudaimonikos]

Maybe not, if it were light out. Or if we were all just sleeping.

[Oh, well. He shrugs.]

Doesn't really matter. It's not like the stuff's laced with some kind of alien super-disease!

[gekkaju]

[One would hope not, but now he's going to be thinking about that possibility. Anything is possible here, he's learned.]

If it were something like that, this region would be in way more trouble than it already is, I think.

[eudaimonikos]

What if Pokemon are all descended from some kind of space larvae?

[he's just shitposting but isn't it also kinda true?]

[gekkaju]

[I MEAN HE'S GOT A POINT]

Some kind of space something. Aren't like...most of the gods we've met from space in some way anyway?

[eudaimonikos]

Do you think so?

[He's including the lake gods in his reckoning, they didn't seem incredibly spacey...]

I mean, Palkia is, very literally.

[gekkaju]

I don't think it would be too far out there to assume, anyway.

[He brings his hand to his chin, thinking.]

I'm not sure. I haven't read too extensively on all of the lore surrounding them...
