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!]

[Emmeryn's kind of in and out of the Pokémon Center throughout the day, only in brief spurts; she tends to spend nights at the Centers in each city, so she returns to her belongings to add her new finds or return things she isn't using. She performs a couple little odd jobs, supply runs and little favors, in return for the accommodations; she comes back with a plate of small pastries at one point and says she thought of them all. Each time, she greets Atsushi, but she never stays for long until she comes to settle in for the night.

For now, Duma climbs into her lap as soon as she takes a seat on a cushion on the floor, Latona and her Ralts close beside, so she's probably not going anywhere this time.]

Good evening, Atsushi. You have been working hard here today, haven't you?

[Now that they've left Floaroma, it's very likely Atsushi will be doing the same as Emmeryn. He'd been staying with locals in town since they'd offered him lodging and food at one point, but the Pokemon Center seemed just as fine of a place to stay. He's more than used to sleeping on the floor, it's just a roof he needs.

He pops up from behind the counter when he hears Emmeryn's voice, Chazuke sitting atop it where he'd sort of just been hanging out most of the day, eating his fill of berries and treats and enjoying whatever attention he managed to get.]

Ah, good evening! I got as much information as I could from the school, so I figured if there was anything I missed I could jot down before we actually start traveling again, I'd find it here.

[Maybe.]

[divinedescendant]

I see. This would be the best place for such a thing, I agree—we never find a town without a Center. Have you found all you were looking for, then?

[gekkaju]

As much as I'm probably going to get, I think...

[He folds his arms on the edge of the counter, resting his chin on them for a moment since he's sitting at a stool to give his legs a break.]

I thought I might be able to find more info on my starter here...I was thinking there might be a small chance someone from somewhere else visited this center and brought their Pokemon here, and it'd be in records or something...but no luck.

[divinedescendant]

I see. I wish I could be of more help, but more than a few of us share that same predicament... Few of our starters are native to this region.

[She smiles, sympathetic.]

I do think you were on the right track. With the world so listless, though, I suppose there hasn't been much of any interest in travel...

[gekkaju]

Yeah...I wasn't expecting to find a whole lot, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

[He sighs, looking up at the ceiling of the center. It's so empty right now other than just them and their Pokemon...it looks like a place that might be a lot more lively than it is now if the world wasn't so messed up.]

I can't believe anyone would think a world like this is the way things should be.
