Week 6.

WEEK 6

One thing is going to be made abundantly clear this week: the routes you're traveling are cold.

Through Monday night, you'll likely find it best to skirt around the foot of that massive mountain that lies immediately to the east of Eterna City; it looks treacherous, and while some of you may be up to the trip, it's probably best to not waste your energy before you get anywhere near Lake Acuity. The journey is going to be a long one before you get there, but the first few days will see you making good time, actually. Between that and the noticeable changes to the world, maybe it won't be so bad...?

...Or not. Tuesday morning and beyond is where the hell sets in for those of you that aren't used to or don't like the cold. The routes are full of perpetual snowfall; it isn't heavy, given the time of year, but the fact of the matter is that it's still coming down, and the snow is piled up directly on the route clear up to the average person's waist. It makes traveling slow going, though if you have a fire-type it might be feasible to clear a bit more of a path - be careful with that, though, because all the runoff has to go somewhere, and it's possible that you'll just make the path icy in the end. Either way, it's cold, due to the snowfall you're going to be wet, and traveling is going to be very, very slow; here's hoping whatever's at that lake is worth it, in the end.

...Wherever the lake may actually happen to lie; no matter where you look on the way to Snowpoint City, you won't find an entrance to it...

CURRENT LOCATION: ROUTE 216/217
POKEMON AVAILABLE: MOUNTAINS/ELEVATED AREAS / SNOWY TERRAIN

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY
[OOC: Welcome to week six 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.]


niceoppai: Making a teasing comment. (look at that underwear)

I guess it only makes sense if you have a lot of livestock where you live. I mean, we sort of do, when it's not big expanses of sandworm territory.

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-12 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...Sandworm?

[You're starting to worry him now.]

Like... [He makes a motion with his hands to indicate a small worm. Tiny thing. While dreading the answer.]
niceoppai: Curious question. (how good i am at being the best)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-12 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... bigger. Waaaaaaaaaaay bigger.

[Sena looks at his hands, then hesitantly moves them apart to indicate about an arm's length.

The expression on his face indicates that he knows he's probably not guessing enough. He just doesn't want to imagine the actual size.]
niceoppai: Worried look up. (some weird heart-artery combination)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-12 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish... Uh, are you doing okay there? You know we have sonic towers to repel them from the cities, so it's not really that scary... usually...
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=kufufutofu =livejournal.com> (sorry!)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-12 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Sonic...what?

[Now you're really confusing him.]

I don't think worms like that exist where I come from...

[He hopes.]
niceoppai: Sitting with her chin in her hands. (pluto's not a planet anymore)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-12 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not. Everyone else was weirded out, too. They're only native to Sandvil, anyway. I don't think I've seen them on other planets.
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by me (sweats)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-12 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
And thank goodness for that...

[He's got enough going on in his life without having to deal with giant worms, thank you.]
niceoppai: Eating a wafer. (is that good for you)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-12 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
They're usually kept under control, but, uh... there was one time I saw them stampede. It was when I first met Angelica... It's kind of a long story! And I'm not gonna tell because it'd probably freak you out.
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=kufufutofu =livejournal.com> (what. what is it)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-12 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...G...Good idea.

[He's already freaked out just trying to imagine how giant worms would even stampede.

There must have been tons of earthquakes.]


Er...how did we get on this topic, anyway...
niceoppai: Knowing grin. (wowity wowity wow)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-12 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Talking about how walking in the snow sucks.
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by me (sweats)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-12 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right.

[How did they go from that to worms...]

A-anyway-! Which one do you think we're gonna run into first? The town or the lake?

[He's trying so hard to get his mind off giant worms...]

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-12 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Hard to tell. With the last lake, we headed there on purpose and ran into a roadblock.
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by me (this isn't good)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-12 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true...

[So maybe the lake will be first again, then?]

Honestly...after all this snow, I'd like to see the town first, at least...

[Replenishing supplies and all that.]
niceoppai: Nervous laugh. (hahahahaha that's a good joke)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-12 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
No kidding. At least in the forest, we could forage better, even if we mostly kinda sucked at it.
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=kufufutofu =livejournal.com> (bwuh?)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-13 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess...

[...]

On the other hand, Michael got Quaver to make softboiled eggs somehow? I don't get it...
niceoppai: Consulting her flip phone. (that don't make no sense)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-13 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
I don't either. That's at least probably easier than climbing up trees to get honey.
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by me (this isn't good)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-13 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
It's definitely easier, but...it's kinda scary, too...

[Breathing fire or being able to suplex a tree is fine, but magically conjuring food is just weird, okay.]
niceoppai: Shocked and amazed. (you'd make a great cult leader)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-13 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
You think? How's it scary? Or scarier than the stuff we've had to go through, anyway.
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by me (sweats)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-13 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno...I guess 'cause it doesn't make sense?

[You could say that for the whole. Breathing fire thing, though.]

I mean, I still can't figure out why a Pokemon move would need to make a fully cooked egg appear out of nowhere...
niceoppai: Defeated sigh. (why are you not dying)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-13 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I have no idea... Distraction?
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=kufufutofu =livejournal.com> (bwuh?)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-13 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's definitely distracting...

[Ahaha.]

There's tons of other things you could do to distract things, though...? Why make food...?
niceoppai: Worried aside glance. (i'm just gonna take this heart)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-13 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Not sure. Or maybe it's for healing themselves?
swiftasacoursingkawa: icon by <user name=kufufutofu =livejournal.com> (that's...um...)

[personal profile] swiftasacoursingkawa 2018-07-13 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Like a...uh...a healing spell or something?

[He guesses that could make sense. What a strange way to make a spell, though...]

That must be a really good egg, if it's capable of healing, though...
niceoppai: Making a teasing comment. (look at that underwear)

[personal profile] niceoppai 2018-07-13 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but the berries work, right? And we just got those off of trees.
