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!]

[Good thing we have 22 more letters to go through?

E... F... G... H... I... J...?]

[eudaimonikos]

[Gastly looks slowly from the paper to Ari, then back.]

Everything moves so fast when you're hanging around with mortals...

[omissions]

[Ari pauses from where he had been pointing at the letter "K" next.]

... Am I going too fast for both of you?

[That's totally what you meant by that comment, right Michael.]

[eudaimonikos]

What? [He sort of forgot you were here for a second.] No - no, you're fine. I actually wasn't listening to you at all.

[This is maybe something to process later. Or never. It's fine.]

We're on K?

[omissions]

Yeah... so far they haven't indicated any of the letters that came before-hand.

[How about it Gastly? Does "K" look familiar? Or "L"?]

[eudaimonikos]

Maybe she really doesn't remember. She's not one of the mask ones, so it seems like it might be up in the air...

[No...not K or L]

[omissions]

[Still, Ari dutifully points to the next letters (M... N... O... P...) as he speaks.]

Maybe... once she's able to get some of her emotions back, the memories will come back too?

[eudaimonikos]

...possible. When I erase a memory from a dead human, I can return it to them if I want to. Undoing whatever Cyrus did might help.

[Q, R, S...?]

But they could also just be gone.

[omissions]

[T... U... V...]

Yeah... that's a possibility too, I guess.

[eudaimonikos]

[W...X...Y...Z

Gastly seems to have been mostly confused by this exercise.]

Well. That was a good thought. Do you think it would be better or worse - to remember having been human now that you're this?
