Departure.

[azumods]

SENDOFF. For a Team Galactic stronghold, Eterna City is a lot more pleasant than it could have been. You've largely been left alone by the locals except for those which you've chosen to engage. and they all still seem rather blank and dead behind the eyes; that said, however, they seem a bit more...lively here than they have elsewhere. They notice you, and perhaps more telling they have vague interest in things - in pursuing things just because they can, and not because they have to. However, your time here is drawing to a close; it's time to leave, to head north to Snowpoint City - and it seems that some of those people that have noticed you have caught wind of your intentions. After all, it's very cold up there; can you really be sure you have enough supplies? Just outside the Pokémon Center the morning you set out, there are large baskets full of supplies waiting for you - warm jackets and blankets, first-aid kits with medication that can be used on humans, and a few potions and the like for your Pokémon as well. There isn't any indication of who left them, just notes reading "For Our Visitors" tacked onto them. There's also something odd along with them - a box with a different note, written in flowery script. "I thought you might appreciate these. - Cynthia" As for what's inside...well, you'll have to open it and see. [OOC: Welcome to the end of Week 5! The box Cynthia left you contains one of your submitted material regains, whichever you decide that one regain to be! No NPC response will be given to this post, though you can thread here amongst yourselves if you wish; we'll see you tomorrow at noon with a new log for your further adventures!]

[ Zelda is, once more, honestly a little overwhelmed by the show of support from just random people here in the town (presumably). She had been wondering about the hike up to Snowpoint and had been getting her own supplies in order as best she was able, but ... well, if it was to be as harsh as Hebra there wasn't anything she'd collected which felt capable of it.

Still, she's gathering these supplies provided here into her backpack, up to and including the one from Cynthia, which sees her smile. It's this outfit, which she'll change into either when they leave or once they hit the actual cold depending on how chilly it is. Feel free to comment on it as she pulls it out and smiles for it.

But that said, though it's minor in comparison, she too has a thing for when they set out!! Namely, she has about eight blue scarves. She made them herself from some fabric she was able to get from a woman in town, and has spent a fair bit of a last two days fiddling with sewing them into being between doing stuff with her Pokémon. So. uh. ]

I wasn't able to make enough for everyone in time, but if you would want an extra scarf I did... prepare some.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh! Thank you!

[MORE FREE STUFF Michael is here for it. He starts comparing the colors of each scarf against the dark blue overcoat he picked up from the pile.]

I didn't know you knew how to sew.

[hyruglyphics]

It was one of my duties as a princess of Hyrule.

[ Shr . . . ug. But here, have a scarf. ]

[eudaimonikos]

Ah, this one is good...

[It looks nice against the darker coat.]

Well, thank you. I don't know how to make anything, except elaborate torture chambers, and those aren't really a hand-craft anyway.

[hyruglyphics]

[ she is almost, almost getting used to Michael saying shit like hat but it still makes her eyes go wide and uhhhhhh?????????

Bu...but. ]

W-well, I'm sure you can learn?

[eudaimonikos]

Camilla did teach me how to make flower crowns the other day!

[awwww, how sweet!]

It's funny that I never learned before - I actually always kept my torture chamber full of flowers. [dammit michael]

[hyruglyphics]

[ . . . UUUUUHHHHHH???? ]

I do not know how to make those either, so... it's not too odd?

[eudaimonikos]

[Michael just grins. Sort of like he does in fact have some idea of what he's doing. Or maybe he's just pleased to have a creative skill?]

I could show you sometime! It's really not hard.

[hyruglyphics]

I should like that! ... I have worked with flowers before, though usually in a more academic capacity, seeing with the gardeners what ones can be grown in domesticity in the palace gardens...

[ Mmm. ]

[eudaimonikos]

I've always liked lilies in a garden, myself. But I guess that's a little bit cliche, isn't it?

[Those being associated with death and all.]

Oh, and buttercups just sprinkled in along the roadsides. That was a touch I liked.

[hyruglyphics]

My own favorite flower could not be replicated in captivity, at least as far as our own study moved. It's called the Silent Princess.

[eudaimonikos]

Fancy name.

[It's ridiculous but this is apparently the one time he's not going to say that.]

What’s it look like?

[hyruglyphics]

I can do you one better, actually!

[ She now takes out the Sheikah Slate with one hand, slipping the coat she had under her shoulder. She flips through a few screens once it activates, and then opens to the Hyrule Compendium page for the Silent Princess flower. See! ]

Here!

[eudaimonikos]

[He leans over to look.]

Oh! That's very pretty! Looks like it might be some kind of lily, but I don’t think we have it on my Earth.

[hyruglyphics]

They're a remarkable flower... when I was young they were nearly extinct, but they are both gorgeous and work well for medicinal purposes.

[ ITS A METAPHOR ]

[eudaimonikos]

Oh? I don't know much about human medicine - what do they do?

[hyruglyphics]

When basked into herb dishes or worked into a potion, the Silent Princess can actually augment the physical properties of an individual, allowing their footsteps to be more quiet, or allowing them to be less detectable to the eyes of other people! It's a limited effect which won't last more than a few hours at most, but it is a truly potent effect!

[bloodspent]

[Those are scarves, that's cute, and Jake is...entirely too awkward to just take one of the damn things so - ]

You don't mind, do you?

[hyruglyphics]

No- not at all! I dod make them for people to use them, of course.

[ She stands a bit straighter!! Though!! ]

[ventulus]

Really? Wow, you really didn't have to do that.

[ He's thinking... ]

I promise I'll do something in return for somewhere down the line, I just don't know what it'd be, but thanks!

[hyruglyphics]

We're all helping each other out here, Ventus! It's fine, really...

[ventulus]

Oh, alright.

[ He looks sheepish, because that is true...and he's rubbing the back of his head now. ]

Anyway, I'll definitely make sure to wear it well.

[hyruglyphics]

I shall not oppose you repaying me, but do not feel obligated. If you like wearing it, I hope you do.

[ Heheh. ]
