Week 10.

[azumods]

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

...they're aesthetically pleasing?

[Which is to say, he likes them in his own way yet still doesn't totally get the human fascination with them.]

[niceoppai]

People give 'em to sick people all the time. Even at home, where they mostly have to be imported.

[eudaimonikos]

I know people do that. But they're not helpful. Well - some might be helpful if you ground them up and ate them, but nobody does that.

[niceoppai]

Don't you have things that just make you feel better?

[eudaimonikos]

Sure, but that's all personal, don't you think? I really doubt the things I like are good general gifts for my entire species.

[niceoppai]

Personal or not, there's gotta be at least guidelines.

[eudaimonikos]

So, what are they then? Other than flowers? I mean, I've given out like four presents ever in my life - and they were all better than some random flowers.

[niceoppai]

I guess there's, like, all that colour theory stuff where green is good for you, first off. And everyone likes candy, unless they're allergic.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh - or unless they're on a diet!

[He giggles a little.]

Humans. You torture yourselves.

[niceoppai]

You're pretty easily amused yourself, you know.

[eudaimonikos]

Sure, but tell me one thing I've done to torture myself.

[He says, immediately thinking of like twelve things]

[niceoppai]

Well... you did teach your Chatot how to copy the Spiritomb screaming that one time.

[eudaimonikos]

That was hilarious, and continues to be so.

[niceoppai]

What about the snow? You went through that with the rest of us.

[eudaimonikos]

Arguably, the rest of you inflicted that on me. Or Team Galactic did.

[niceoppai]

I guess either of those work too. But how 'bout all that fundraising for the ghost potions? Isn't it kinda embarrassing for you?

[eudaimonikos]

...why would it be?

[He wouldn't have done it if he thought it were?]

[niceoppai]

...Never mind. I guess different people have different thresholds for that kinda thing.

[eudaimonikos]

[Oh, is this a public speaking thing?]

You have to understand, I'm pretty used to making what one might call public appearances. Doesn't bother me at all to talk in front of a group of humans - especially the ones here, they're only barely starting to be actual people again.

At least this time I'm doing it as myself, and not weaving an elaborate web of lies. Really cuts down on the effort.

[niceoppai]

It's not about public speaking, it's about secondhand embarrassment for how shameless you get about it. No offence.

[eudaimonikos]

Do you believe people should be ashamed of working for charity, Chelsea?
