Week 22.

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

[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!]

Ours have Messengers like that, ostensibly. There's meant to be twenty-four, but I've only ever met two or three.

[pantheons are bullshit, is the takeaway here]

You're right, though. Had the people of this world never seen at least Dialga and Palkia, there'd be no statue or the carvings back at those ruins. Although I confess that does make me wonder about the creator; so far as I'm aware no one's found so much as a depiction of them.
eudaimonikos: (and in the end if I don't)

You'd think there'd have been one in the ruins. Or at least that church thing we found.

[what was even up with that?]

Bet it's weird-looking, if the other two are any indication. Though if it's never turned up, who told them all about it? Not Dialga or Palkia.
discutio: (year after year)

[personal profile] discutio 2018-11-05 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
...I don't know. My best guess is that any depictions may have been lost to time, but the knowledge of its existence persisted.
eudaimonikos: (utilitarianism)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-11-05 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Not so important to remember, if it left this world a long time ago anyway?

[hm]

They should've forgot a lot more than that. Cyrus still found it.

...I just got the worst sense of deja vu and I don't think I much care for it.

[this is Fine,]

Maybe he found record of it that no one else knew of.

...sorry?

[He's not quite sure what he said.]

Guess that's possible. They don't seem big on spreading their information around. [one library and all] Unless Sunyshore was a center of learning in its day.

No, it's...not you. [Ignis shook his head, sighing.] Cyrus keeps reminding me of someone unpleasant.

[Given the choice of world-ending events, Ignis almost preferred the one that wasn't Cyrus.]

You'd be surprised what you can find if you dig enough. Ruins may yet exist in places we don't know of, and with them any sort of potentially lost information. Human history tends to be a terribly disorganized thing when it's gone on for long enough.
eudaimonikos: (the republic)

Ah. He reminds me of myself sometimes. Really hate that.

[Cyrus is just the worst, okay, anyway]

That makes sense. Your memories seem so bad just on a personal level. Do you really just forget everything that happened when you were small children?
discutio: (can you tell a green field)

[personal profile] discutio 2018-11-05 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'd make a joke about daemons, but it's a bit unfair to compare you to Ardyn of all people.

[that's a compliment]

Usually, yes. My earliest memories are around the age of six, but it's not as though I can remember every single thing that far back. When it comes to recorded history, it's easy for things to be lost or destroyed--when the generation that recorded it in the first place dies out, so dies the knowledge that wasn't written or preserved. It's a troubling thing, speaking as someone who's done extensive research on the matter.
eudaimonikos: (works of love)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-11-05 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Heh.

[He appreciates it!]

There's not a second of demon history that's been lost. But we spent it all being boring assholes, so, not a huge victory there. Human history's a lot more interesting, you're always doing stuff. Not always the smartest stuff, but boy do you take action! I think I've always admired that.
