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!

[...well, you know, he's going to try not to ask about the teething ring, so...]

I think so, yes. Honestly, I don't have a terrible feeling about getting back on the road again, because the terrain here doesn't seem to be as rough as a lot of what we've been dealing with.

[look. duma's not wailing and complaining anymore is he??? it's working]

If and until we meet it again, I feel like we may just spend the rest of our travels saying, "ah, but at least it isn't the snow." [She laughs lightly.] The journeying gets easier every time we set out, doesn't it? A far cry from those first few weeks.

[enjoymyatelier]

It does, doesn't it? It barely feels like an ordeal at this point. I suppose the more you do it, the better you get at it... still, I rather prefer our time staying in cities.

[divinedescendant]

Truthfully, I miss Floaroma... The proper cities are built so differently than anything I am used to, and it's exciting, but a little strange, too.

[enjoymyatelier]

No, I understand. You're from a less technologically advanced world than this, right? Well, the larger cities are probably somewhere in your world's future, I suppose, unless something prevents it.

I do agree that the smaller towns are nicer, anyway.

Far enough in the future that I would never have seen anything like this but for our field trip to Sinnoh; the difference is so vast. Even that the city is always so bright amazes me, and then I sound silly marveling over lights, of all things.

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, there's really no shame in it. I grew up with things like this, of course, and it's only gotten brighter and brighter as the years go by... perhaps too bright. There's both good and bad points to it.
