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!]

The wildlife on Eos tends toward the vicious when left unchecked, but it wasn't so bad as it might sound. The four of us have extensive combat training, and there were nearly always hunters in more populated areas to keep people safe. Larger creatures and swarms did tend to get difficult, but far from unmanageable.

[...man, that's weird to think about.]

You hear about animal attacks from time to time on Earth, but I don't think it's very common outside of sparely populated areas. Sounds kind of rough to me.

It wasn’t a problem we ever contended with in the Crown City, but most of Lucis didn’t exactly have a dense population outside of Insomnia and Lestallum to a lesser degree. So the need for hunters to keep things in check was a fairly essential one.

[semistableman]

Makes sense, then. Sparsely populated areas don't always have the best defenses.

[discutio]

Not really, no. Not to say it wasn't safe outside the capital; so long as one's cautious it's easy enough to get by.

Wakanda doesn't have problems like that in the villages, but it's more like...

[Hmm, how does he put this.]

People in the villages live traditional lifestyles, but they'll still take advantage of the country's technology. It took some getting used to, to be honest.
