Week 11.
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... 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!] |

But we should test it first - starting with one-on-one and working from there. I don't want to go in without knowing it works.
no subject
[ ... they're probably still nearby those two grunts, even though there's some distance between them. ]
...If we're starting with just one though, we're going to probably need to not try one of them at the door, right? As just in case it doesn't work, there won't be too much trouble.
Like, grabbing someone who's sort of doing rounds by themselves, I mean.
no subject
[.............]
Yeah...yeah, we can do that. [This is the reaction of somebody who was actually talking about trying it on you and apparently didn't make that clear. But heck, that works.]
no subject
[ THAT... definitely went over his head, for sure.
Well, Ventus probably wouldn't have much issue with it even if he did catch it, because it's just a harmless sleep move. Surely nothing can go wrong. ]
...By the way, did I surprise you with the idea?
[ He smiles for a moment, taking it to mean maybe it meant he came up with such a good idea! But he'll be also kind of beginning to move in preparation of scoping out a solitary grunt. ]
no subject
[Michael has about enough tact to accept the new plan without saying so, but not enough to hide that it was his initial plan if asked.]
Not while you were standing, obviously.
no subject
[ Ventus turns around to face Michael for a second, putting on his best pouty looking face before he smiles a little and then continues to look around. ]
Well, I guess if we can't find one, we can still go with your original plan. But I wouldn't be standing or sitting either; it'd just be good idea if I'm lying down completely.
[ ...And then he'd sleep for
12 yearshours. ]no subject
[But he's also entirely unapologetic and wouldn't have done it himself anyway?]
Makes sense. Safety first, and all that junk.
no subject
[ The whole human form probably helps with that and then he'll nod at the other portion. Hitting his head wouldn't be on his list of things to do that's for sure. ]
no subject
[Michael frowns to himself, turning that over in his head.]
That's a new one.
no subject
No one's really said that to you before?
[ Then again, he supposes if he's doing afterlife stuff back home even then people wouldn't forget. But Ventus thinks he doesn't seem too non-human even knowing his own deal... ]
no subject
no subject
I don't really know you as much as they do [ Even though he's getting to know him more! ] and well, they've probably seen what you can do with that power and knowledge more than I have.
no subject
[He hesitates, chewing on his lip for a second before adding:]
I'm not used to being so adrift...anywhere. I don't know how you all do it. Just walking around not knowing what the hell is going on half the time.
no subject
[ Most of the time, anyway. ]
...I actually can't really imagine knowing so much all the time. I think I might get kind of bored with things if I knew everything or just too much.
no subject
[Much as he might like to pretend otherwise sometimes.]
Give me a century or two, I'm sure I could really go native here. Knowledge-wise, at least, not sure about the hippie shit.
