Week 8.

[azumods]

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

Good question. [Hm. You know what? Better find out] Come on, give them something. You got some food on you?

[fatalstrikes]

I've got some berries.

[Hang on, let him fish them out of his bag. There are a few assorted berries here, and he'll set them down on the ground and back up a bit so the ghosts have room if they're interested.]

Let's see how they react.

[One of the Misdreavus hanging out around them notices the berries. Seemingly a bit more interested than the rest of the ghosts, it approaches, taking one of the berries and eating it. Seeing there was food, the rest of the ghosts get closer.

It's a bit difficult to not feel claustrophobic when they surrounder them a bit more. A few Misdreavus is okay, but Gastly are strangely large, and having several around you takes a lot of space. Kiryu steps back, staying calm]

...I guess that's what they want. Guess they must not be getting much interaction with anyone living here.

[A bunch of ghosts who don't seem to have much in their minds other than wandering around and going for food they see, and a bunch of residents who are unlikely to even pay attention to the ghosts or have food with them...no wonder they're gravitating towards this group]

[fatalstrikes]

[Yuri seems as unfazed as usual, though he'll take a step back as well so he's not surrounded by giant ghosts.]

Yeah, I guess so. Between the cold and the... emotionless stuff, I'm not surprised the people aren't paying much attention to 'em. I guess it'd be a good idea to bring some extra berries in case they start following you around again, yeah?

You think they're going to follow us to the lake?

[Maybe the danger Jupiter commented was related to the ghosts]
