Week 8.

WEEK 8

Snowpoint City remains as cold and unforgiving as ever, through no fault of its residents.

The city itself doesn't seem to see much change in the passing days; there's something you'll all become rather aware of on Sunday as the day goes on, and after so long with no incidents along those lines it's likely an unpleasant thing to deal with. There's also the fact that the changes to the world seem to be slowing; though the one alteration that's immediately obvious is a major one, it seems that things may be beginning to stagnate again. Will there be a slip back into apathy again, if this continues? Or will the changes you've affected already continue to hold?

Only time will tell, really.

That doesn't mean that nothing has changed, however - thankfully enough, the slugs seem to be settling. Or...well, more accurately, once in a while they stop huffing at each other long enough to drive up piles of snow with their heads and stare at them like they're trying to work out what they're attempting to create, but at least it's a collaborative effort. Are they attempting diplomacy? It's difficult to tell; after all, they are just slugs. But at least there seems to be a little less open hostility. Improvement...? Perhaps.

The local ghost Pokémon also seem to have taken an interest in you lately, though precisely...how is a little mixed. They don't seem overly mischievous or malicious - they seem about as odd as the rest of the wild Pokémon in the region - but they do seem more inherently trusting of you and your traveling group. They've taken to following you from time to time, and taking a general vague interest in what you're doing. So that's...new.

CURRENT LOCATION: SNOWPOINT CITY
POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES

It would be cheaper to use berries. There are plenty of those.

[Why so many ghosts want potions, who's hurting the ghosts]
eudaimonikos: (I'm gonna need a boost)

I’m not made of berries. I’d have to be searching for more trees like, all the time.

They should be able to sell you some. If they can sell you potions, then they can sell you berries.

[...he hopes. Still, Kiryu can't deny that was a valid point. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to donate, he's starting to actually consider that]
eudaimonikos: (madness and civilization)

Which brings us right back around to me needing money.

[He lifts up the cash box and shakes it rather deliberately at a passerby.]

I need to get a bell...

[Kiryu puts some money on the table. It's not a pittance, that's for sure -- he's not too concerned about money. He's sure he can get more later]

Get yourself a megaphone too. And... [Okay, how to put it delicately...] ...a better puppy-eyes technique for your ghost. It isn't very good right now.
eudaimonikos: (an essay concerning human understanding)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-07-25 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh - thank you.

[He actually seems a bit surprised by the gift, but accepts it readily enough.]

I don't know how good that's going to get. She is still sort of an emotionless shell. Now, Lena at least is cute... [He picks up his Mawile and puts her on the table.] ...but she isn't a ghost.

Could have fooled me. She resembles a ghost legend from back home.
eudaimonikos: (one look from you)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-07-25 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Does she?

[He glances over her again.]

Doesn't bear much resemblance to the other ghosts. Most of her attacks are pink and sparkly, I'm thinking it might be a fairy thing...

Never heard of a fairy with a second mouth in their hair. Aren't fairies supposed to have wings and be smaller than she is?

[It's not like Japanese mythology is full of fairies -- or at least he doesn't remember any. It's not like he's some mythology scholar]
eudaimonikos: (no exit)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-07-25 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
In Disney, sure, but in the old human myths, the fae were mercurial creatures beyond human comprehension. A little like demons, really, but more indifferent than outright evil.

They are? [That's certainly different from fairies in pop culture. Huh] Do they exist? Fairies, I mean.

[If demons exist then maybe fairies do exist too]
eudaimonikos: (ethics without principles)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-07-25 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah. One or two might've been rogue demons or angels, but we're really not supposed to go interact with live humans.
