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.]

I shall do what I can to arrange it, then. It seems as if they all have a strange interest in us regardless now.

[eudaimonikos]

That is weird, isn't it? None of the other ones are doing that.

[It's almost as if somebody did something]

[hyruglyphics]

... It is odd. I wonder if we've got some special connection to spirits.

[eudaimonikos]

Gosh, you think? It co -

[He sneezes into his sleeve.]

Could, uh, be. Ugh, my head. Why haven't you all found ways to stop this from happening?

[hyruglyphics]

The movement of spirits...?

[ No, wait, he means sickness. She laughs a little, shaking her head and, ]

We've done our best to deal with sickness, though.

[eudaimonikos]

But you haven't beat the common cold? It's the most common one - 's right there in the name.

[hyruglyphics]

I cannot speak for any other world, but scholars and apothecaries and such have done their best to work with it...

[eudaimonikos]

And yet, here we are.

[grumble grumble]

I should really learn more about how to make human bodies better. Like, reverse torture. [the word he's looking for is probably "medicine" or "first aid"]

[hyruglyphics]

"Medicine" sounds like a much better word, Michael.

[ It's a soft chiding. ]

[eudaimonikos]

Right, right. Like - the thing I would do to torture someone, but then kind of - reverse engineer it.

[You know, how everybody describes medicine!]

Wouldn't help here anyway, though. We don't traffic much in head colds.

[hyruglyphics]

Surely you can still learn. The herbs here are different, but even I know some basic properties of plants to make balms and potions.

[eudaimonikos]

Something to work on later, probably. I don't wanna go outside right now - I really, really hate the cold.

[He whined like a child.]

But we seriously don't have any doctors with us, huh?

[hyruglyphics]

Not dedicated ones, I don't think.

[ she shrugs a little, sighing a little as she crouches down near him properly. ] As I said, I've some knowledge, and I'm sure Kayneth and Rin do as well.
