Departure.

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!]

[So someone may actually need to fetch Rin in the morning and let her know it's time to go, and for once it's not even because she's sleeping in. On the contrary—she got up at sunrise, and after a few hours of hard work, the young mage is just finishing repairs on the fence that she and her new Rotom broke earlier in the week.

She doesn't think the man who owns the house saw her working... Honestly, she prefers it that way. This is the best way she knows of to apologize to him, and she wants to finish it up before they go. If she hurries, she knows she can do it before they have to leave!

Whenever she finishes or someone does come to collect her, though, she'll go gather all the items left for them. The medicine in particular makes her light up, knowing who it must have come from. That was so kind of the shopkeeper. Rin's going to miss chatting with her. As for the present Cynthia left her...]

I wonder... [Rin holds the emerald she found up to the sky, watching it glitter in the sun. With a cluck of her tongue, she lowers it back down to admire at chest level.] Well, it doesn't matter. Even if it's one of mine, it won't work here.

[Maybe she can sell it? She could probably get a pretty penny for it...

Spoilers: Not with the way that Sableye on her shoulders is looking at it, no sir.]

[You'll have to excuse Morag for zeroing in on the emerald.]

What is its function, if you do not mind me asking?
