Week 9.
WEEK 9 The one thing Team Galactic seems to have done right in this world is perfecting teleportation technology. The device Maylene gave Rey will get all of you back to Eterna City easily; from there, it's a matter of very briefly stocking up on supplies on Sunday before you move westward, away from the massive, imposing form of Mount Coronet and into the deep shadows of Eterna Forest. During your brief stay in Eterna City, it's likely that you'll notice a few things have changed, as far as both the people and the Pokémon go; this holds true as you make your preparations and disappear into the forest on Monday. It's heartening, maybe, to know that once again your actions seem to have made a difference; meanwhile, the trip to Lake Verity looks to be a long one, but it isn't entirely insurmountable. The forest itself is large and dark, covered high overhead with a thick canopy of trees; the Pokémon here are plentiful, which likely cuts down on any inherent creepiness to the place - whether that's a good or a bad thing depends entirely on your point of view. Either way, it's going to be quite the adventure trying to make your way through; here's hoping that your luck continues to hold over the coming week... POKEMON AVAILABLE: PLAINS/FOREST SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week nine 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!] |

[ Ventus makes a face at that, though. ]
But, obviously even that method isn't invincible to a lot of affection and positive attention turning it all around. I honestly can't wait to see the look on Cyrus' face when we've really put a stop to his big evil plan.
[ He can imagine it just now. The guy sitting on his throne and crying, "How could this be?!"
...Okay, that's probably not how it's going to go, but Ventus has a bit of an imagination. ]
no subject
[Sounds like he's speaking from experience. "Primal beasts", though... That's an interesting way to describe the god Pokemon Cyrus supposedly has at his disposal.]
no subject
[ Pause. ]
Wait...primal beasts? Is that another name for those god Pokemon that Cyrus manage to get on his side?
[ Ventus has to wonder a bit at that because he's certainly never heard that term before and it might sound apt, but huh. ]
no subject
No. They're powerful beings in my world. But some could be considered godlike, just like the god Pokemon. That is why I tend to think of them similarly.
no subject
Oh. So, there's one of them that's on the same level as a god of creation...?
[ He's sure there's nothing like that on his world. Though different worlds nearby it and its entire universe is another thing entirely in which he's more unsure about. ]
no subject
[Doesn't get much simpler than that.]
...I won't deny that the thought of someone controlling that primal beast for the reason Cyrus controls this world's god of creation is unsettling.
no subject
[ No thanks!!! ]
... Have you ever had to do go against one back at home? Like argue?
[ Or fight, but Ventus doesn't think you can really fight something like that... ]
no subject
As for Ventus' question, Eustace makes a bit of a face at the "argue" part of it. It's a displeased sort of expression.]
Arguing is not my thing. I speak with my gun. [So...that's an indirect yes to fighting.] It is specifically designed to deal with volatile primal beasts.
[All of this is why he has generally stayed out of the diplomacy sessions with the guardians.]
no subject
...You're powerful enough to go up against those guys?
[ He actually looks pretty amazed. ]
no subject
It's part of my job.
[Which...is something classified back home. But again, no one here is from his world, so he's a little more willing to state that fact.]
no subject
[ ...Ventus is still in a state of being amazed. Even with his powers as a Keyblade Wielder, he can't imagine himself going up against enemies like that.
Well, maybe if he had help. ]
...You're pretty amazing, Eustace.
no subject
Shrug. That's what he'll do: shrug.]
Not as effective here. [He doesn't even have his gun, and he's certain by this point that fighting Legendaries like that isn't the right choice.] Talking to primal beasts...that is Lyria's thing.
[...ah. This time he catches himself.]
She's someone from a crew I traveled with for a while.
no subject
Obviously not without it's own trials and tribulations, but still. ]
She sounds like a nice person. How did you guys meet?
no subject
She is.
[A wholehearted agreement there. Lyria is Very Good.]
We met through my co-workers. The crew that Lyria is a part of helped them out on a mission dealing with a pair of primal beasts. I was on a mission at the time of our meeting, and we were headed to the same place. So I asked for their assistance as well.
[After drawing his gun on them and testing their strength. But strangely, that part is left out... Wonder why.]
no subject
Oh, well it's a good thing that things worked out.
[ He thinks it is! People helping each other is always nice. ]
So wait, why do you usually get assigned jobs -- or missions -- to go after the primal beasts? Is it because there's always someone trying to control them like you said earlier... to do terrible things? Or is it sometimes because of other reasons too?
no subject
[This is all such confidential info, but...eh. The Society's a wreck back home anyway.]
They all were under control at some point, yeah. But that was long before us, and most have since become dormant. That said, some primal beasts become volatile when they reawaken. They need to be dealt with before they bring harm to nearby populations.
