Week 4.

[azumods]

WEEK 4 Backtracking may not seem like an ideal situation, especially not given the situation on Sunday morning, but it isn't without reason or merit; after all, Lake Valor is within a reasonable distance, and perhaps more importantly, there's reason to believe that something may be there. Whether it's one of the Guardians you seek or something else entirely has yet to be seen; there's only one way to know for sure, however. So back onto Route 213 it is; you should reach Route 214 by Tuesday afternoon, and the entrance to Lake Valor by Thursday night; you may want to wait to explore the lakefront proper during the morning, however. Who knows what you may run into... You've seen at least some reasons to not give up hope as you left Pastoria; for the time being, let that hope give you strength. CURRENT LOCATION: ROUTE 214 POKEMON AVAILABLE: PLAINS/FOREST / MOUNTAINS/ELEVATED AREAS SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY [OOC: Welcome to week four 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 next weekend!]

[Yuri laughs again.]

He's a cute little guy, isn't he? Hlača's what you're calling him, right? Does it mean something?

[bloodspent]

Sorta. Ača's a name where I'm from, it's how we shorten Aleksandar sometimes; it seemed a bit nicer to put that on it and make it a bit more of a name, since "hlače" is just "pants."

[...yeah.]

Lobanja is "skull", pretty much? But it's close enough to a name to pass, and all of that's better than directly introducing people to my Pokémon, Pants and Skullface.

[fatalstrikes]

[Holy shit, that is wonderful.]

Pants and Skullface, huh? Well, at least the names sound cool, so you're doing better than me.

[bloodspent]

It's great what knowing other languages does for you if you don't know what to call something.

[...it runs in the family really

just ask albert wesker

he named one of his creations "arm"

he named another one "better arm"]

[fatalstrikes]

[i fucking hate albert wesker]

We've got a few other languages where I'm from, but I don't speak any of 'em. I should probably figure out what to call Scyther, though. I guess I could just take the easy way out and call him "Scy"...

[don't be lazy, yuri]

[bloodspent]

Don't ask me, you'll probably end up naming him Rukeno or something. And then you'll get to be the one explaining that you named something Knifehands.

[fatalstrikes]

[...Huh.]

Hey, what do you think of the name "Rukeno"?

[The Scyther does not care, but Yuri no?????]

I like it. Short, easy to remember, and it means "knifehands", what's not to love?

[yuri no]

[bloodspent]

See, you understand.

[GUYS...]

[fatalstrikes]

Oh, absolutely. What's the point in knowing another language if you don't use it for stuff like this?

[bloodspent]

Exactly. I knew you'd get it.

[fatalstrikes]

You do know me pretty well by now. I'm a pretty simple guy.

[bloodspent]

Most people who say that are fuckin' liars.

[fatalstrikes]

Yeah? Do you think I'm lying?

[bloodspent]

Good question.

[He doesn't seem bothered at all, though.]

Even if I thought you were, it's because I'm a paranoid fuck, so.

[fatalstrikes]

Fair enough, you can't really help that sort of thing.

[It doesn't bother him either, don't worry.]

You don't need to be too worried about me, though.

[bloodspent]

Yeah, I didn't think so.

[It's a compliment, okay.]

[fatalstrikes]

[That's definitely pleased him.]

Good, I'd be a bit surprised otherwise. It's not like I'd stab you in your sleep or something.

[well unless you're cumore, probably]
