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!]

Fucked in the head's a given.

[Jake just shrugs a bit as well; that's more or less what he's been thinking.]

Unfortunately I never got to deal with the guy who thought he was a god back where I came from. Might have been good preparation. Either way, I'm biased as hell and just realized I've been figuring Cyrus is a scientist of some sort, because the crazy ones usually are in my experience.

[semistableman]

Could be.

[Bucky gives Jake a wry smile.]

They're usually politicians, the ones I'm used to.

[bloodspent]

We've had one of those try to end the world recently. Believe me, I know.

[semistableman]

They're always the type. I guess it's just something that comes with the job description.

[bloodspent]

That sort of thing is all ambition and no soul. I'd fuckin say so.

[semistableman]

Yeah.

Though honestly, I don't know which is more likely in Cyrus' case.

[bloodspent]

Maybe we'll have more of an idea after we run into Jupiter - and you just know we're going to, what with how shit our luck is.

[semistableman]

I'd say that's likely.

[To the first part, to the second part:]

We'll probably run into the whole lot of 'em before this is over.
