Week 11.

[azumods]

WEEK 11 The meeting with Mars could have gone infinitely worse. It's difficult to say that it went well, admittedly, but at least it didn't go as poorly as it could have; either way, her departure leaves you free to look around the Valley Windworks, and it shouldn't take you long at all to find something interesting on the floor. It's bright yellow and glowing, set into the ground like any other normal part of the floor otherwise; stepping on it will cause the world to spin briefly in your field of vision, and when it straightens itself out again, you find yourself standing in the corner of the lobby of a large building you've never seen before. Welcome to the Jubilife TV station. The place seems staffed with Galactic grunts, but they leave you alone outside of just watching you in that dead-eyed, vaguely unnerving way they have of watching everything; they'll let you leave without a fuss at any rate, and it's probably for the best that you get yourself situated for the time being. After all, you've got an entire new city to get accustomed to. The people here seem to be trying to get themselves situated as well, though obviously that's for entirely different reasons. The world continues to change, around them and you both, and overall things do seem to be going in a direction that might be considered favorable. Noticeably, the grunts in the TV station don't seem to be changing at all, regardless of what happens to the other locals; that might be cause for some concern... CURRENT LOCATION: JUBILIFE CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week eleven 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!]

charm

[redbellion]

[ keith is walking near camilla when he hears her talking about her charm. is she...talking about the shiny charm? ]

Did you lose something?

[anythingforyou]

Oh, I lost that sweet little charm! The one we got in that old manor--I know I tied it on here rather tightly, so I haven't the faintest idea of where it could have gone!

[Camilla does look through her bag a bit to see if she put it in there, but it's a dead end. Drat.]

[redbellion]

I can help you look for it. Maybe we should backtrack a little?

[ not too much, because being separated from everyone else for too long just seems like a bad idea. ]

[anythingforyou]

I'm not altogether certain if I lost it in the building or outside of that other one, but it may be our best bet to look while staying close. It's such a shame...I liked the charm quite a bit.

[It just straight up vanished, man, she has no clue what the heck]

[redbellion]

Hey, don't worry; we'll find it.

[ hopefully. he turns around to face the opposite direction. ] Can you can retrace your steps?

[anythingforyou]

Of course. If we go this way...maybe it just dropped in the building...

[This is definitely going to take them back into the building, but Keith might actually hear something before Camilla does, and if he looks up, he'll see the little thief floating in front of the building while Camilla's focus is elsewhere.

Drifloon, to her credit, is utterly amused by all of this.]

[redbellion]

[ he does hear something--feel something, rather--floating above of them, and keith looks up to see...drifloon. with the charm in question. keith raises an eyebrow, clearly unamused, and he puts a hand on camilla's shoulder. ]

I think I found out where it went.

[anythingforyou]

[Camilla turns quickly when he says that, looking up at the...surprisingly yellow balloon with her eyes narrowed a bit.]

Well, how rude. You know, it's not polite to steal from others, dear.

[Camilla is going to walk right over and try to get it, but it's. Just out of reach. Not helped by the fact that the Drifloon floats a little higher, with something resembling amusement on it's little balloony face.]

[redbellion]

[ really. keith looks unamused, and he looks over at camilla, grabbing one of his pokeballs. ]

Pidge can get it for you. She can fly, so it can't run from us forever.

[anythingforyou]

Oh, thank you, dear. I truly appreciate it!

[Drifloon seems to do...some sort of expression at Keith when he says that? Can't run forever, you say? You wanna heckin' bet, boi? She puts one of her balloon hands up to her face, hiding her expression just a bit, but it does little to hide the grin on it's face.

...It's. It's basically going :3c and cannot be stopped.]

[redbellion]

No problem.

[ he brings pidge out, all 6'7" of her, and she lets out a little noise before looking up at the drifloon. ]

Alright, girl, see that little charm it's holding? You can get that for us, can't you? [ the tropius lets out another low roar before using its leafy wings to start ascending towards the drifloon. she extends her neck, trying to get on its level before using her mouth to try to chomp at the charm. ]

[anythingforyou]

Go get 'em, dear!

[Hello fruitplane, balloon friends sees what you're doing there. You don't mind if she just kind of waits until the chomp attempt is made and drifts back do you, because that's what she's doing.

Gotta try harder than that~]

[redbellion]

[ pidge's eyes narrow at the drifloon--and it's quite funny to watch, a giant dinosaur chasing after a balloon--before she goes in for another chomp. her wings are flapping a little more aggressively, a little quicker, trying to keep pace with the pesky little drifloon. ]

[anythingforyou]

[Hmm. That is a bit of a pickle, even the Drifloon drifts on back a bit--she wants to keep her little prize, after all, but Pidge is definitely gaining...

It's a bit of a brazen idea, but the Drifloon forces herself to descend pretty rapidly before the second chomp. Of course, it doesn't stay that way for long--she rises back on up, but makes to move around poor Pidge to force herself to turn around in the air, though she seems to simply keep going...
