POSSIBILITIES. The weekend arrives with no change to be seen in the people or the Pokémon in the area; with the sense of flowing time and expanding space still at a standstill, it's understandable if people are starting to find themselves a little anxious for something to do with themselves. Sometime around mid-morning, Cynthia will make her way to the Pokémon Center, seeming interested in talking to the group; when she addresses everyone it's easy and calm, and she seems to have recomposed herself a bit since Wednesday. Lucian is with her again today, as silent and disengaged from everyone as he was before; she seems to be leading him around by the wrist as a gentle way of making sure he doesn't just wander off, not like he seems to have much desire to do that in the first place. "I've been thinking about what might help you talk to Darkrai, and convince it that you mean it no harm. There is one possibility - I know of someone that's usually nearby, in the mines at Iron Island. His name is Riley, and his training involves understanding and using Aura - it's a power that allows people to sense others, and to read their hearts and minds. It can also project these things... Perhaps he can help you communicate with Darkrai and Cresselia without getting too close. "It's possible that he was harmed when Cyrus remade the world, but if there's any chance he wasn't, he might be a good bet for helping you keep Darkrai calm. A boat can be arranged to take you there, should you decide to go. Of course, you should decide for yourselves what you're going to do...but please consider going out to Iron Island to speak to him." [OOC: Welcome to the end of Week 14! Hopefully it's been a good one. No NPC response will be given to this post, though you can thread here amongst yourselves if you wish; we'll see you tomorrow at noon with a new log for your further adventures!]
