[So this is Pastoria City. Hometown of at least one tremendous douchebag, and otherwise really kind of fucking dismal? It's not a terrible place in and of itself, really - all the greenery surrounding the city is actually really nice, the jetty is...something he's going to avoid but at least it's not just staring out into open ocean and the Center isn't overlooking it so at least he can sleep there without being fundamentally weirded out, and all in all the place itself is pretty okay - but everyone is just...very dead behind the eyes, and while that's something that he could generally forget the creepiness of while they were on the routes, it's just ramping up the sense of being wigged out that he's getting now that they're in an actual city again.
He'll do what he can to try to shake it off a little, but that's going to prove really difficult, honestly.
He can mostly be found out and around in the evening, seeing as he'd gotten to the Center and promptly passed out on the floor in one of the side areas. Thankfully he didn't have too many weird dreams, though he still had a few; either way, he's obviously trying to not let it bother him, and as such he can be found in the PokéMart, looking through the toys and trying to see if he can get Lobanja to do something that isn't just stare at them.]
Come on, there's got to be something here you like.
[So much staring. After a while she just kind of yawns? And then flops down on the floor of the store.]
...Yeah, I know, me too. But now isn't really the time, you know?
[And that is how he is ending up just kind of carrying a half-asleep puppy under his arm like it's a fucking football while he follows his pantslizard around, seeing as Hlača's just kind of toddling around the place and looking at everything. Jake isn't really sure if that's a good sign or just something that's passively happening, but either way, it's more interested than he's been in pretty much anything, so he's willing to indulge whatever's going on for now.
Of course, late at night Jake will find that his sleep schedule is now completely fucked and he's frankly okay with that; he's got a flashlight and some rope of all things on him, as well as god only knows what in his pockets, and he's standing outside the entrance to the marsh. If anyone comes over to see what he's doing, well...]
So, I've got a terrible idea and no impulse control. You coming with me or not?
