Week 3.

WEEK 3

The past weekend has given people a lot to take in, and a lot to think about.

You're permitted to stay at the resort all day on Sunday, should you so choose; relax and replenish yourselves with regards to sleep at least, seeing as it's much more comfortable than the routes or sleeping on the floor of the Pokémon Center. Commander Saturn is gone as of last night, and no one seems to be coming after you - though there is likely something you'll be aware of by the end of the day...

Whatever happens, it's evident that you'll have to leave this place eventually, and Monday should find everyone back on Route 213. It's been repeatedly recommended to move toward Pastoria City; whether you believe the source of said urging to be trustworthy or not, it's still a good idea to move in that direction - a city means supplies, after all, a place to restock and spend a few days.

Everyone should be able to find Pastoria City by Tuesday afternoon; it's another unfamiliar place, with various things to see and look at over the course of the next few days. It's far smaller than Veilstone, but it borders up to the ocean by way of a small jetty on the southeastern side of town with a few boats moored to it. Otherwise, it's surrounded by forest, and the main path winds its way lazily through town, weaving between personal residences and a few places of business.

Of course, it's still not nearly as lively as it should be; the inhabitants here all seem as devoid of spirit as everywhere else; fortunately, a select few of your companions do seem to be perking up a bit - perhaps that's a good sign, in the end.

CURRENT LOCATION: PASTORIA CITY
POKEMON AVAILABLE: IN CITIES / NEAR WATER

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week three 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!]

[It's all fun and games until the money runs out.

God. Kayneth has been trying so hard to be thrifty, but he doesn't entirely know how to be thrifty and also he has no idea how to translate his skills into... this. He starts out in the morning doing a little art in the Pokemon Center with his Frillish and Murkrow... well, Velasquez is at least putting down little diagonal patterns that might look like waves. Maybe. Huginn is just staring kind of blankly at a piece of paper and not exactly doing anything. Kayneth, meanwhile, is doing a nice little picture before he stops very suddenly and...]


What am I doing. No one's going to buy art in this godforsaken place.

[...but you know. He's got to think.

...

HMMMMMM. Actually, he does have an idea, given what the jobs might be in this world where Team Galactic's the only employer. So.

He heads to the outside of the Pokemon Center and puts up a sign that reads as follows:]


Math, Chemistry, and Physics Tutoring at Reasonable Rates

[There. He's probably got this. Probably. If anyone comes around.

...

please let someone come around.]

Who knows. Maybe they would.

[They appreciating it is a different matter altogether, but Kiryu sure won't bring that up]
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-22 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
What's the point if they don't appreciate it, though? Everything is just practical here. There's no use for things like beauty and imagination.
takestheblame: 13 (13)

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-06-22 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
They'll find use for beauty and imagination once they have their spirit back.

[Well, maybe]
enjoymyatelier: zach. they're here. (migrane's a comin.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-24 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I would hope, but short of making posters about wellness and whatnot, I'm not really sure what people would actually buy under these circumstances.

And I mean, it's not like I'm going to sell out.

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-06-25 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
...hm... [Kiryu is starting to feel bad for Kayneth, but this seem to be someone with a rather proud attitude. Saying he feels bad for how his efforts are going unappreciated could go badly, so instead...] Show me what you have done so far.

[Kazuma 'sometimes I'm careless with my money in the sidequests' Kiryu is now planning to buy art today even if he doesn't need it]
enjoymyatelier: kayneth.../kariya...? (what... am i reading...)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-26 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, alright.

[He holds up what seems to be a very nice sketch of his Murkrow! It seems like there might be just a little bit of wishful thinking there, though, since it somehow looks a little more alive than the actual crow standing right there...]

Obviously, it's not done, but... it's shaping up nicely enough, I suppose.
takestheblame: 2 (2)

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-06-27 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Kiryu examines the sketch. Certainly looks more alive! In his opinion that says a lot about the artist]

Hm...good work. If these people won't appreciate it then I will, once it's finished. How much do you want?
enjoymyatelier: cue the red exclamation point over kiritsugu's head (jiiiiiiii...)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-27 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[he looks really torn here, because...]

Well, the point is to get funds for us to continue our journey, right? Plus it's going to be harder to carry around.

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-06-27 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I already got my funds and bought everything I needed. This is money I'm not going to use for the time being -- and I can get more in the next city.

[He hopes, at least]
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-28 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Well, alright. It's not like I'm going to be able to sell it otherwise, so you can go ahead and have it, then. Pay what you'd like for it.

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-06-29 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Here.

[Kiryu piles 3000 Pokedollars. He's not sure how much he should pay for art, but when you're supporting talent you have to be generous.

Is this generous? He hopes it is. Kiryu doesn't mention this is 3/4 of the money he had left]


This amount should make it worth your time.
enjoymyatelier: king arthur with insubstantial tits was right theeeeere (but sooooolaaaaaaa)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-30 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Well, I can accept that, then. It seems reasonable.

[he still feels kind of awkward about it all? but uh....... he'll take it.]

[...you know he has no idea how to price shit and he just wants Some Fucking Money.

So like, P600 per hour maybe?? Is that a good rate? He can at least buy a few Great Balls....!]
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-23 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[well he's not rich again.

but you know what he's going to log this away as a Good Idea in the future. what's the general skill level he's gonna be seeing, anyhow? how good is the education in these parts.]
enjoymyatelier: no seriously what are you doing (uhhhhhhhh....)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-23 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[what the fuck is Sinnoh




he's definitely going to be more enthusiastic teaching the kids who are so fucking here for college level physics at least[

[Linda is still as content as can be, even now. She's highly content with just her microphone, even if she has little else. What money she has, has since gone only to her companions. Particularly the newest addition. She's like a doting mother-- no. More of a passionate big sister maybe. But she's taking this time in the city to make sure she's stocked up and also-- hang around the marsh like it's no big deal. But it's at the entrance that she thinks of something, turning to the Chatot.]

Omigosh, I need to give you a name!

[...Linda...]

But I don't have the first clue what to call you... Something cute. But... hmmm... this is harder than I thought it would be.
hyruglyphics: (idk man)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-22 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she's really dedicated to the whole cute thing, isn't she? Zelda sort of happens upon this while she - I mean, she's not going to the Marsh, but she was going to the entrance so she might at least look out on it. She's not talked to Linda a lot, but the Hylian princess laughs softly at that. It's the same species as the one Michael has, isn't it? Maybe they would get along.

... It's actually her Beldum, Miphanus, who is more curious here, breaking Zelda's sense of propriety to float closer to the Chatot and her with more obvious curiosity than you might've expected from a floating eye thing. ]
