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.] |

Of course, cats will always be cats, but children grow up.

I'll admit that I'm...a little more concerned about being responsible for small semi-people. You don't have to teach cats to be cats.

They've been learning from us. Not quite in the same way a child learns to grow up, of course, but we are the first examples of proper feeling they are seeing.

Woo, that is not good!

Now, your team seems to be doing quite well for itself.

All I can do to keep track of my own Pokemon half the time, though.

[At the sound of his name, Duma squawks indignantly, and is quickly quieted by gentle head-pats.]
And they are all such charming characters; it would be hard not to notice them.

[Somehow despite having immediately launched into it, Michael still possesses the social grace to not actually finish the sentence with "Duma is an idiot".]
- probably for the best. I don't really know what's going to happen with them, when we're done here.
no subject
No, I suppose none of us do. [oof that is not super fun to think about for reasons besides "who else on this godforsaken planet is going to be willing to put up with duma"] But the locals have been kind to us, so, once the life has well and properly returned to them, I would like to think accommodations can be made for our companions. All we can do for now is hope and move forward, regardless.
