Week 12.
WEEK 12 For the time being, it would seem that you're back on the routes again. Route 202 is thankfully a simple one - it's straightforward as compared to the winding paths of Eterna Forest, with a clearly marked path surrounded by trees. The usual patches of tall grass are present here, though they can be avoided if you really want to stay clear of them; it's a fair easier walk than most of the routes you've traversed so far, and mercifully it's also a far shorter one. It seems August is being kind to you in that way; there's decidedly less walking required of you, which is likely not all that unwelcome after the frozen hellscape that constituted most of July. As before, the changes to the world are still present, particularly in your own Pokémon, are still occurring but seem to be slowing down a bit as the month continues on; a worrying trend, perhaps, but they haven't stopped altogether. That said, however, there's a change to the route that you may see from time to time - patches of those bright flowers in varying colors will show up along the routes themselves here and there. Perhaps a sign of gratitude from a friend you've helped out... By Tuesday morning you'll find yourself in Sandgem Town. It's very small, similar to Floaroma Town in size, and the town itself smells vividly of the saltwater of the ocean; the main points of interest seem to be the research lab and the beach to the south of town proper, though there are a few locals present as well. Your stay here shouldn't be long; you're actually very close to Lake Verity, and it won't take you long to reach it given how relatively simple and straightforward the routes here are. Thursday morning will see you on Route 201 - it's just as easy a walk as the previous route, if not easier, and if all goes well you should be able to find the lakefront by Friday evening... POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES / NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY [OOC: Welcome to week ten 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.] |

Evening
[Michael's not exactly concerned to find Jake out here having a weird solo beach party, he doesn't think? But he wants to talk to him, so. Taking a seat, his bonfire now.]
How's it going?
no subject
[Michael is always acceptable company, okay.]
It's going all right, I guess. Looking forward to getting whatever's going to happen at that lake out of the way, whenever we get there. You?

[Even the walking parts were awful. Snow is the worst???]
I think Cat Janet's growing a sense of humor. She's a little bit of a jackass! [Despite his word choice, he sounds kinda proud.]
no subject
[From the sound of it, he doesn't consider that a bad thing.]
no subject
[He hid his amusement a little bit when it happened, but now he's grinning.]
Honestly, if you can't dodge something thrown by a cat, I think you deserve it.

I think I'm starting to really get the pet thing. If they're usually things that have personalities.
no subject
...I'm not sure what we're supposed to do with these guys once we're done here, though. Seeing as we're all planning on leaving and all. It'd be kinda fucked up to drag them back with me, I know that much.
no subject
[Michael leans back on one arm, frowning out at the ocean.]
I'm not sure it's possible to bring any of them back with me. Except maybe Jane. But that would be...worse than leaving them all, I think?
