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's a little funny something hadn't happened. I can't imagine humans knowing that a god lived nearby and just...minding their own business.

Even if those legends about them were scary, you're not a species known for your common sense. I'd have thought we'd at least find a little shrine at the cave mouth, or something.

[semistableman]

Neither can I. Honestly, I'd expect at least one local kid every week getting it into their head to try and catch one, without truly realizing what kind of Pokemon lives at the lake.

[eudaimonikos]

Sounds like the kind of thing that'd happen. Or a bunch of them daring each other to go spend the night. Boy, you could make some killer horror movies.

[semistableman]

I'm sure both have happened.

Hopefully the kids are always talked out of it.

[eudaimonikos]

You could have Uxie as the monster, and they could possess one of the kids and use them as a human puppet to capture the others -

[oh sorry, he's still on the horror movie thing]

Do you think Uxie would mind?

[semistableman]

[He just sort of stares at Michael like he's not sure if Michael is kidding or not.]

Honestly, I don't know.

[eudaimonikos]

Probably doesn't watch movies anyway.

[He's at least a little serious? Maybe?]

[semistableman]

Probably not. I don't think Pokemon have any use for that.
