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!]

Where'd you--oh.

[ ignis. right. keith grumbles, folding his arms across his chest. ]

[nightcure]

Time to pick up some odd jobs around here.

[redbellion]

Lucky for you, you've got a friend who can provide.

[nightcure]

Really lucky.

[ He gives him a little smile. ]

I don't mind giving you a hand to find some money, though. Can't let you walk around wearing that uniform forever.

[redbellion]

[ ...there's something about noctis that reminds keith of shiro. it's not unwanted, and keith gives him a little grin. ]

Thanks. I've never really had to take on odd jobs before.

[nightcure]

Really? I'm used to it. We used to take on anything from finding gems to taking down animals that got too rowdy.

[ He puts his hands in his pockets, and he notes that Keith looks better with a grin. No matter how small. ]

Stick with me, and you'll have some pocket money in no time. Hopefully.

[redbellion]

Well...kind of hard to take on odd jobs when you're busy trying to save the universe.

[ keith looks around at their surroundings. ] Where should we start?

[nightcure]

There's a store around here--a PokeMart, I think it's called. I wonder if they need any help there.

[redbellion]

Let's ask.

[ keith just. storms into the pokemart and asks one of the employees if they're hiring. employee says he'll ask his manager, so keith and noctis are left to wait on the ground floor. ]

[nightcure]

[ Oh my god. Okay, that's fine. ]

Having a little bit of restraint might be helpful, Keith.

[redbellion]

What? It worked, didn't it?

[ now noct is REALLY starting to sound like shiro.

it's a little scary. ]

[nightcure]

It did, but there are better ways to go about things sometimes.

Especially when it comes to making money.

[redbellion]

Okay? What's that supposed to mean?
