Week 24.
WEEK 24 It seems that Giratina is feeling reasonable as the weekend continues on. There's something a little jarring about being returned to the flowing time and reconnected space of Mount Coronet; it might seem a little darker than you remember, a little harsher after so much time in a place where gravity was malleable. But for the time being, there's only one way to go if you want to eventually find Spear Pillar, and that's upwards and onwards. Some of the areas within the mountain have been carved out, the paths leading you through openings that will bring you around outside; you have a good view of the region from up here, though it's a rather cold one - the outside areas are covered in snow, so you might want to watch your step. But there's grass out here, and a few different kinds of Pokémon, and it generally might be good to get some fresh air while you're here and see the mark you're making on the world. Of course, the trek inside the mountain continues to be a journey; the paths do make ascending a bit easier, but a good amount of it is still climbing upwards. There are several chambers here and there to explore, however, the walls sparkling with what might be gemstones and the reflections of water shimmering off the walls - there are pools of it here and there, good places to rest near if you need to. The caverns seem safe enough (safer than the climb, anyway), and on Sunday... Well, on Sunday it seems that one of them holds a surprise for you... POKEMON AVAILABLE: CAVES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY | SATURDAY [OOC: Welcome to week twenty-four 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!] |

See? He's fine, chill out!
[Not that he, technically, sees the Shelgon. But he feels safe in his assumption that the idiot monster down there slamming into the rock is, in fact, Duma.]
no subject
Maybe all of the commotion finally attracts Duma's attention or maybe he's just finally regaining his spacial recognition skills. He looks up, lets out one short roar that should be understood as a warning.
And he comes barreling towards the entryway from whence he came.
M...maybe move......]
no subject
Michael rocks back from the ledge, letting Jane Doe catch him with a big claw on his back. She usually sticks close to him when he forgets that he can die by falling.]
He can fly!
no subject
"Through" is the wrong word, though, because Duma gets about halfway in the entryway and...gets stuck...... His wings are too big. He's too stupid.
So now there's just, like, the back half of a dragon kicking and flailing uselessly on the ledge.
Cool. Great.]
no subject
Is Michael stuck out here now]
Can you take me through walls?
[Jane Doe looks from her trainer to the wall, then shrugs.]
Well. Let's try now. No one around to see if I just slam into it, right?
[That...makes sense, she guesses? Jane lowers herself to let Michael hop up onto her back, and then very slowly floats through the wall. Thanks to the slowness, Michael doesn't slam into the wall so much as he's gently pushed into it before he drops to the ground as his mount vanishes.]
Ow. Yeah, good call. I'm fine, I'm fine.... [He lets the returning, rather distressed Jane help him up.] Could you go fetch Emmeryn, please? I don't really want to deal with that.
[Indicating the flailing back half of dragon. Even if Michael were inclined to try shoving Duma's ass through the cave mouth, he'd probably just get taken out by a leg or tail.]
no subject
So, that's fun.
Emmeryn, at least, won't be hard for Jane to find, because at some point some combination of the distant commotion and, like, chaos spidey senses woke her up and then Duma was gone so she's got her coat on over her PJs and Latona helping her down a ledge, and she looks vaguely like she's considering the merits of taking a nap for the entire rest of forever once this is dealt with.]
no subject
Anyway, Jane floats up to Emmeryn in somewhat less distress than before, since Duma is not dead, and gestures back the way she came.]
Haaaaaunt! Haunter! [aka, "Duma evolved and got stuck, please retrieve him"]
no subject
[This is still more distress and therefore potential chaos than she was hoping to have to deal with tonight?? Latona, on the other hand, looks thrilled.]
I have to see this RIGHT NOW.
[why are all of Emmeryn's Pokémon awful.
but all right she follows this disaster train right along and—from the other side of the ledge, Michael will notice that Duma immediately quits thrashing around when Emmeryn catches up. This is him realizing how much trouble he's in. This is him thinking if he just stays very still, she won't notice?]
Hoo BOY, did you mess up this time, buddy. Wow. Look at you. How did this even happen? This is amazing. Jane, nothing I ever do could possibly repay you for showing this to me. Look at this.
[At least Latona is having a good time.
And Emmeryn kind of. Looks at Duma. Looks at Latona. Looks at Jane. Back at Latona. Back at Duma.]
...Duma?
[He rumbles in quiet affirmation.]
Oh. Oh! Oh, look at you, darling, you—Look at you. I... Oh, what did you do?!
[she doesn't even realize poor michael's stuck back there give her a minute to. panic? a little? forseti is horrible company, all he's doing is crying softly, he hasn't stopped for a moment]
no subject
He jumped off one of the tall cliffs. It was very scary.
[Meanwhile, Michael, having settled down against the wall to wait, perks up at the sound of voices.]
Emmeryn? Think you could get your dragon out of the door? [...] Also your ghost is still back here.
no subject
[Latona is supposed to be the reasonable one, why are all of Emmeryn's Pokémon awful.]
—Michael? [the bullshit never ceases] Oh my goodness, of course, I am so—oh, dear, just one moment.
[It takes a moment of fumbling around in her jacket pockets to find Duma's Pokéball.] I am very proud of you, and I love you, and we cannot keep doing this, Duma.
[She suffers.
Once she recalls Duma, she peers out the entryway without walking out onto the ledge.]
Are you all right?
no subject
[Jane's trainer is a Lot for her sometimes.]
Oh, yeah. [Michael pops up casually once Duma's gone; while he's not bothered much by being on the ledge, he has been there for some time now and he is ready to not be.] We weren't there for too long, no big deal. Congrats on the enormous dragon!
no subject
[Thanks, Latona.
Forseti waits until Michael has left before following suit, but the way he does that is by just sort of dissipating into the air and, after a few moments, slowly reappearing back into existence behind Emmeryn, like it's whatever.]
I...Thank you. Oh, goodness, he has wings... [The implications of her idiot, awful son whom she adores being able to fly are starting to settle and she does not care for it!! He was good enough at getting into trouble as an orb!!!] Forgive me for the trouble. I am so glad you didn't end up hurt by all his...antics.
[Duma's nonsense is going to be the death of someone and it might be her.]
no subject
[Which may be as close as Michael will dare come to admitting that he watched Duma jump off a cliff because he thought it was funny.]
no subject
[she's trying to sound good humored about it but she's going to die over this]
I do so appreciate you taking all his trouble-making in stride—so long as you are certain you and Jane are both all right. You, too, Forseti, dear.
[He makes an unfortunate prrrbrbrbrrrt noise of affirmation and...dissipates into the air again. That's fine.]
no subject
[At least we're coming out in like, God's realm or something?]
Maybe being on the site of creation itself will calm him down?
