Week 3.

[azumods]

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!]

[The comment makes Rey look up from where she'd been eagerly studying the entry about the Pokemon in question.]

Ah, it's one of those.

[Let her just point to a puddle of mud a few metres away, where a Barboach is currently lying there looking as animated as the rest of the Pokemon nearby.]

They like the mud, as you can see.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

[Yeah. It sure is, uh. Liking that mud.

...he thinks.]

Uh...

[...yeah that just looks sad, Rey.]

Y-yeah, I see...I think?

[greydients]

[...yeah look she tried her best to be positive about it but it's difficult to get enthusiastic over a weird fish lying dejectedly in the mud, she gets it]

Well...I suppose 'like' isn't quite the right word, in these circumstances.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Yeah, maybe not...

[He glances at it curiously.]

You sure it's supposed to be there? [As opposed to like...in the water?]

[greydients]

Well, it is a ground type.

[Mud counts as the ground, right? Just...wet.]

According to my book, they hide themselves in the mud to wait for prey; although this one doesn't look like it's doing much of anything.

[...you can always pick it up if you want to, she will not stop you]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

...But it's some kind of fish, isn't it?

[It's a fish, but it's a ground type? What?]

I'm not sure if it can catch anything just lying around like that... [How sad. But he's absolutely learned his lesson with Vee - no picking up or interacting with wild mons unless absolutely necessary! yes.]
