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!]

[It's a fair question.]

Nah, not really.

[eudaimonikos]

[.....eh, fair answer.]

Well. I've conducted extensive studies on humans, you know, and one of my major findings was that you're incredibly difficult to quash as long as you've got any sort of social structure to lean on. Not even people you're initially close with, necessarily.

[that was probably meant to be encouraging somewhere in the disturbingly scientific tone]

[semistableman]

[He raises his brows, because what.]

Something like that, yeah.

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah!

[He grins like they're on the same page, which is somewhere good now?]

It's like... [Ooooh. He clasps his hands together for a moment.] ...the real lake gods are the friends we made along the way.

[this is one of his better tries honestly]

[semistableman]

[He still has no idea what Michael is talking about, but he... thinks?... he knows where the guy is coming from. Even if he isn't exactly any good at it himself.

Friends made along the way indeed.]

We've got to stick together somehow, right?

[eudaimonikos]

[His aphorism worked! Since Bucky didn't say anything, obviously that was a completely sensical aphorism and he can use it again later.]

Of course! Hey, fistbump!

[give him some knuckles]

[semistableman]

[He'll give you that fistbumb, Michael.

Even if he's not entirely sure what the hell they just talked about.]
