azume | Week 10.

Week 10.

WEEK 10

You've found a few new friends this past week, and along with them, a new town to explore.

Granted, there doesn't seem to be much, particularly when compared to the cities you started out in; at the same time, the air is fresh with the scent of flowers and honey wafting on the breeze. Along with the usual Pokémon that can be found in populated areas, it seems that several Combees have made their home here - they can be found drifting along idly, seeming no more capable of true emotion than anyone or anything else, but perhaps they're trying their best. It's a little difficult to say; they are still bees, after all.

That said, the world continues to change around you, bit by bit; you still have a long way to go before you've saved everyone, but for the time being you should probably recharge, and take some time to sort through what should happen next. Talking to the locals may net you the information that there's something odd about the meadow north of town; perhaps a few of you should go to check it out...

CURRENT LOCATION: FLOAROMA TOWN
POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES

...Oh gods, you are simply precious darling--!

[This creature is a damn blessing and GOD DAMMIT CAMILLA IS TRYING NOT TO BE TOO VISIBLY DELIGHTED, SHE HAS APPEARANCES TO KEEP UP AS AN ELEGANT LADY--

Okay, no, she's just. She's not going to stop at this point, holy shit, she has been approved of by this creature and she's just so happy? Holy shit.]

[ Collecting some flowers herself as they bloom around here, Zelda wonders... It seems to be related to its mood. It could be possible that the deterioration was due to a dour mood on its part...? That seems a little suspect, but it is a theory. She gently reaches out herself to...

Well.

Pet it just a little. ]

[So. Much. Pleased squeaking, Zelda. Holy shit you people are the first reasonably sane and not-creepy people this thing has seen in a while, this is a good day?]

[It very much does seem to approve, yes!]

[God, you are just going to get loved on by everyone today, little friend. Quite frankly it's just so lovable that Camilla would want to take it with her? Maybe everywhere???

Gods, never let her forget this day.]

You make it so easy to want to spoil you rotten. I love it so much!

[Arion is probably just somewhere in the background jealous as hell, really, but she just can't stand it???]

Sweetheart, would you mind if I picked you up...?

[...Probably after Zelda's done petting it, but. Okay, she can't resist asking anymore???]

[...You are offering to pick it up oh my god do you understand the amount of happy squeaking you're getting right now because I can assure you it is a lot- ]

[ Zelda's was a short and gentle pet, she's not actually worked with animals like this a lot before now. So she steps back with a smile, so like. Go ahead. ]

[SHE'LL GIVE THE LITTLE CHILD BACK ONCE SHE IS DONE bless you Zelda, oh dear god]

[HER HEART...IT CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS CUTENESS, OH DEAR GOD!!

Sweet hedgechild, you are so getting picked up--honestly, it's done with enthusiasm but with enough care to make sure the creature doesn't go flying and she is just going to hug this creature right now--]

Who's a good little darling, yes you are, yes you are--

[HELP, WE ARE REACHING MAXIMUM DISGUSTING LEVELS]

[CAMILLA YOU'VE DONE IT NOW

YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT

YOU ARE GETTING SNUGGLED WITH

AND ALSO MAYBE THOSE FLOWERS ARE LOOKING INFINITELY BETTER AND MORE LIKE FLOWERS AND NOT LIKE THEY'VE BEEN DYING FOR PRACTICALLY FOREVER

BUT PRIMARILY YOU ARE GETTING SNUGGLED WITH]

Oh, look!

[HELP THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EMMERYN'S EVER SEEN??]

You must have been right, Camilla, that it simply wanted to be treated so kindly. How marvelous! Oh, I'm not even sure it will let you leave without it now.

Truly, I think I take back everything I've ever said. I simply cannot leave this creature all by itself! It's too precious!

[SHE IS JUST GOING TO DIE, GODS ABOVE]

Oh... Oh! I see!

[ Zelda claps her hands together ] This must be a local deity, or at least some powerful entity that remains in the area. Given the size of the town, I imagine under normal circumstances, it is will revered, but in the absence of spirit, it has not received that reverence...

[ And perhaps something... worse. But that's still interesting.

That said, she's going to step back from the scene to look back behind them a bit. Did this clear up the dead patches or will they need to bring the hog along for that. ]

[It seems to have taken care of the dying patches, actually! This thing is just, like. Metaphorically exploding with flowers and happiness right now? Holy shit.]

[ So it is indeed a direct connection. How fascinating... ! ]

[Camilla's just going to get all of that out of her system and finally take a look around--gods, it's really making the land bloom with so much color that it's actually just amazing, holy shit.

She's going to let up eventually, if just a bit, and look between all of them with a smile.]

Would any of you like to take them next? They aren't a shy creature, that's for sure~

[WHO WANTS TO SNUGGLE THE HEDGECHILD NEXT]

They may have mentioned this meadow so we'd come and see what was happening to this Pokemon.

[So they'd come help their powerful friend over here, yup.

There's something sweet about this small creature being a local deity. The Pokemon world sure would be nice to be at once it got its spirit back and Team Galactic is dealt with]

[...ADMITTEDLY THIS IS SOMETHING THE OTHERS MIGHT NOTICE BEFORE SHE DOES BECAUSE

SHE IS GETTING SNUGGLED

GOOD LORD THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF HER GODDAMN LIFE, NONE OF HER POKEMON HAVE RESPONDED SO WELL TO SNUGGLING, THIS IS GREAT AND SHE LOVES IT, HER SKIN IS CLEAR HER CROPS ARE WATERED AND ALL IS BLESSED IN THE WORLD]

[CUTE????]

It looks like it likes you very much, Camilla! [she even laughs a little; emmeryn is so charmed... this is so pure...] Perhaps it might come back into town with you.

Oh, I wouldn't want to take it so far away from it's home! The poor thing seems so shy already...

[Like, it's tempting, and Camilla's words are honestly uncertain. You have no idea how tempting it is to ask if this little bundle of pure, condensed joy wants to come with her so she can hug it and love it???]

Less and less the nearer it gets to you, though.

[okay no she wants to pet it too... she brings her hand in slowly so Shaymin can have a sniff first but if she receives approval then Shaymin is getting scritches]

The poor thing still hasn't bloomed itself, though... Perhaps it was affected by the same thing that wilted the flowers back in the meadow.

[Scritches!!

This is the happiest day today I swear to god this thing is so pleased flowers all over.]

[EMMERYN DON'T CALL HER OUT LIKE THIS, SHE IS TRYING TO BE SOMEWHAT DIGNIFIED!!!!

...Honestly, she can't deny it and it gets a chuckle out of her.]

Perhaps so. Really, I almost wonder if treating the creature with such kindness is the key to it all...

[IT REALLY SEEMS LIKE IT??]

It does like the attention, at least.

[Who knows when was the last time someone came by to visit it -- without poisoning, apparently.

Kiryu doesn't try to pet Shaymin, but that's mostly because he has to watch Bito and make sure he doesn't ruin the field by eating one fourth of it all. This beetle likes flowers a bit too much]

[duma's over here helping bito ruin the field in the meantime. he isn't as big and as such cannot eat as many flowers, and mostly is just determined to try to fit entire flowers in his mouth at a time. so they're...bonding, probably]
