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...

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!]

I met a man several weeks ago back near Pastoria who said he used to be able to divine Pokemon's feelings from their footprints. I thought I'd see if I could accomplish it myself once my Pokemon that actually had feet started showing more emotion, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for.

[Michael comes a little closer, leaning over to squint first at one paper, then the other.]

...they're not capable of bullshitting now, but are you sure he wasn't just describing a past con?
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

...

I'm not entirely sure, honestly, but I feel like if he brought it up under these circumstances he'd have to have believed it to some degree. I've heard some people here have some degree of psychic powers, so it's possible he had some of those...
eudaimonikos: (but I want to make yours come true)

Always possible to drink your own Kool-aid. Look at me, I pretended to care about some humans one time.

[From his smile, that seems to be a joke? Michael picks up one of the footprint papers, looking at it and then the other.]

Which one's the old one?
enjoymyatelier: i am just done with this shit (ugh whatever)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-08-20 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Well, maybe if we ever swing around Pastoria again before Cyrus smites us, I can ask him what in God's name he was talking about now that he's got a soul again.

...anyway, it's this one.

[He points to the left one, which indeed is a lot drier and looks as though it's been folded up.]
eudaimonikos: (give me a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-08-21 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes...

[He nods contemplatively.]

You can tell. The stride length on this one exudes a vigor that's completely absent in the other one. And you see these flecks of ink, here and here? [He points on the new one.] That shows a real zest for life - a spring in the step.
enjoymyatelier: zach. they're here. (migrane's a comin.)

...

So, do you believe what you're saying, then?
eudaimonikos: (as many times)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-08-23 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, not at all. It's very easy to make this stuff up and say it with conviction. I can read a fortune from it too, if you want.

enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-08-26 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
You know... I'm curious. Go ahead, give me one.
eudaimonikos: (a boost over heaven's gate)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-08-27 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Alright. Well, the earlier one is irrelevant at this point, so let's focus on this...

[He lays the newest paper down, spreading it out with both hands.]

Now, see the angle of the claws, here? That indicates open-mindedness, a willingness to accept change. The point of the claws themselves speak to vitality - this Pokemon is going to live a long and healthy life. Looking ahead - there may be some adversity in the near future, but if she remains steadfast and sticks with her friends, she'll be fine.

[.....]

Also, there's a tall, dark bird in her future.
enjoymyatelier: this thing outsmugged everything i have uploaded (psssh plebes.)

Why are you trying to make money off donations when you could just do this.
eudaimonikos: (as many times)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-08-29 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't be any fun with the locals. No real reaction to anything. I could just tell them all they were going to die, and they'd look at me.

[shrug]

Maybe later on, though, I can have multiple irons in the fire.

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-08-31 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's true. We are working to rectify all of that, though, and it might be interesting to see what you could accomplish at this point in time.
