Week 7.

[azumods]

WEEK 7 After a week of nothing but snow, it's likely that the city is a welcome sight. The city proper is likewise blanketed in snow, but it's far shallower here, easily walked through; it's soft and powdery and unlikely to cause you to slip, the kind of snow small children and Pokémon might enjoy playing in if they're the sort to enjoy that kind of thing. And if they were capable of enjoying much, in the case of the children. That said, the people here are still in the mildly improved state you witnessed in Eterna; it isn't much, but it is improvement, and the world around you continues to change in other, smaller ways as well, so it isn't all for naught. The wild Pokémon here, however, seem to be experiencing something a little...different from what you've been seeing so far - specifically, the Shellos here seem a little hostile toward one another. Snowpoint City is separate from and parallel to the giant mountain you passed last week, and it's populated by both the blue and pink varieties; the different sorts...don't seem to like each other much. It isn't all-out warfare or anything, but there are definitely skirmishes and mounting tensions happening in slug culture here. Mediate if you choose, or just enjoy your time in the city. You've earned it, after last week. CURRENT LOCATION: SNOWPOINT CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week seven 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!]

Okay, thanks!

[ Ventus goes to grab a plate and a fork first...though, there is a question on his mind. ]

...Do you know what happened there, by the way? I mean what kind of weird, if that's something you're okay with saying.

[bloodspent]

[He kind of has to take a guess here, but from what he's heard, what he ends up saying isn't an unfair assumption to make.]

They say the sage came to our country. He turned a lot of the people there into monsters; more of that dark magic stuff. He didn't stay long, though. He had other places to go and more plans to carry out for himself.

After he left, one of his followers stayed behind. She wanted to finish his work, and create a new world where everyone was turned into monsters. We're still fighting of the results of what she and the sage did.

[ventulus]

That's -- I can't wait until he's stopped for real. That guy has really done some terrible things.

[ He puffs his cheeks a little at that; before relaxing as he comes back closer to finally grab some of the food. ]

I wonder why anyone would want a world where everyone was a monster -- even just one person turning into a monster is bad enough.

[bloodspent]

I'm pretty sure they both thought monsters were better than humans. I know the sage did, anyway. He was a pretty messed up guy.

[He shrugs.]

He's been stopped, though. Somebody stopped him a few years ago, and the follower who was still around... I heard she's gone too. So they can't do anything anymore.

[ventulus]

Oh, that's good...sorry about what happened to that place, though.

[ He thinks to grab a cup too now. ]

I hope that even though all of that happened, your home had time to be rebuilt.

[bloodspent]

Edonia? It'll be fine. The people there are pretty tough, they've been through a lot.

It doesn't feel all that much like home to me anymore, but I'm sure it'll be okay.
