NEW DIRECTIONS. After the pleasant dreams and revitalizing sleep from last night, it's very likely that you feel a bit more ready to face the world, even if the world isn't fully ready to face you - it's still seeming as lifeless as ever, but after the successful talks with Darkrai and Cresselia, things are starting to seem a little less hopeless. Cynthia seems to agree with them, as the morning is slightly interrupted by a request to meet with her in the Canalave Library for a talk. She isn't alone, should you choose to join her; she still has Lucian remaining very close to her, sitting next to her at one of those seating areas, and Riley... Well, he's here, though he's lingering near one of the shelves, and if looks could kill Cynthia would be dead and buried six feet under by now. But he's keeping his silence for now, even if he's still visibly displeased; the common goal is more important than personal disagreements for now. "I've got some good news and some bad news," Cynthia tells you, smiling softly as she always does. "To get the bad news out of the way - since the world was reset again, it's been confirmed that contact has been lost with those Gym Leaders we'd managed to find the whereabouts of in the past. I don't know what's happened to them, but I intend to find out. If you could go to Oreburgh for me to verify that all of them are gone, I would owe you one - the Gym Leader there is named Roark, he's the son of the Leader here. His father, Byron, hasn't been seen in a while; I'm hoping they're together in some way, and Oreburgh seems a good place to find some sort of indication of where they might be, if there are any. "The good news, however, is that Riley has decided to work with us here on the mainland for a while; he'll be staying to try to help Lucian and the others, and to update you if I can't for whatever reason. Thank you for speaking to him, and also for your help with Darkrai and Cresselia. "Take today to rest up, and then head to Oreburgh; after that, one of us will be in touch if we hear anything." [OOC: Welcome to the start of Week 16! 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; take the time to catch your bearings and top-level here with any remaining adventures you get up to in Canalave, and we'll see you tomorrow at noon with a new log for your further adventures!]

Week 16.

[azumods]

WEEK 16 The world continues to stagnate. It's an undeniable truth, one that's more or less a constant in your lives; you can see it in the people and the Pokémon both, even after you arrive in Oreburgh City. The same blank stares and behind-the-eyes deadness that Cyrus' new world brought with it are everywhere, difficult to ignore and impossible to escape. However little the people are interested in you, however, they are still present, and with Darkrai and Cresselia having agreed to help you, that has to count for something; with both dream deities and the Lake Guardians, perhaps hope hasn't faded - perhaps spirit can still be restored to the world, as long as there's a world left to restore it to. That isn't to say, however, that the city itself holds nothing for you; there's a fair amount to see here, and a few things to explore if you're so inclined to do so; the mines in particular are open to the south, and extends far beneath the region. Take care not get lost, should you venture in. CURRENT LOCATION: OREBURGH CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SURROUNDING ROUTES: MOUNTAINS/ELEVATED AREAS / CAVES MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week sixteen 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!]
