Week 5.

[azumods]

WEEK 5 As of morning the next day, it seems the rain has stopped; with Azelf awakened and your newly-hatched companions by your side, it's possible that you're feeling a new sense of resolve regarding what needs to be done - and, perhaps more importantly, your ability to accomplish it. The device Maylene gave you certainly does seem to work; activating it will reveal a dark portal crackling with energy, shades of pink and purple swirling brightly around the outer edges, and those of you that walk through it will find yourselves quite suddenly standing somewhere else - there's grass beneath your feet and an unfamiliar city to the west, and the place you're standing seems raised up in some way; turning around once the portal has closed behind the last of you will reveal a massive bronze statue depicting a Pokémon of some sort, though what it is seems to be a little difficult to tell... The trip to Eterna City may leave you feeling a little dizzy and disoriented, and for a few uncomfortable moments you're likely very, very aware of your organs, but the effects will pass after a few moments and you'll soon feel right as rain. Of course, it'll likely become obvious very quickly that you aren't alone near that statue... Either way, it's a long journey up to Snowpoint City; you might want to take some time to make sure that you're prepared before you set off. It really does seem as though finding Azelf at Lake Valor has done the world some good, though, along with your combined effects on the world already; hopefully the Guardian at Lake Acuity in the north will be just as helpful... CURRENT LOCATION: ETERNA CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week five 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!]

Mmmm. You can start off fighting the wild ones, but practicing with one of us will be more helpful. Maybe not right now...Cat Janet looks way stronger than yours, and this...

[Lifts his Mawile a bit]

...was literally born yesterday.

[redbellion]

[ cat janet. ]

Yeah, alright. I've got a lot of work to do if I wanna catch up to you guys.

[ ... ] Thanks.

[eudaimonikos]

[Cat Janet!]

Of course. We’re all on the same team. Ah - you can capture more of them with these balls. [Holding up a Pokeball.] They have different elemental types you’ll want to consider - the one you have now is electric.

[redbellion]

[ this is all...really, really weird. he has so many questions, i'm so sorry michael. ]

Where can I get those? And how are you figuring out their types?

[eudaimonikos]

There must be a store somewhere around here. Not sure if we’re still caring about money...anyway, if you look around, you might be able to find a book about the types? If not, one of us can write out a chart.

[redbellion]

I'll look for one.

So...money. What do you mean you don't know if you're still caring? Have you guys been stealing?

[eudaimonikos]

Well, we set up a lemonade stand in the last town, but I’m not sure that’s going to cover the cost of winter gear for everyone. We’re in the middle of an apocalypse - good as it’s been for business, it might be about time to let capitalism go.

[redbellion]

So how do you plan on getting what you need? Don't we need money for supplies from the markets?

[eudaimonikos]

Well, I’ve been following the humans’ lead so far. If they want to try making money, I’ll help with that. If they’re finally done with it, I’m comfortable being the one to take stuff. It’s only utilitarian.

[redbellion]

...You mean you're not human?

[eudaimonikos]

Oh, absolutely not. I’m a demon.

[redbellion]

[ ... ] You don’t really look like a demon.

[eudaimonikos]

Yes, everyone who works in Human Affairs gets a randomly assigned human body. For reasons.
