Week 12.

[azumods]

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... CURRENT LOCATION: SANDGEM TOWN 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.]

He is definitely impressive.

[Velasquez is also slightly offended by that implication, so he hovers away from Michael's hand.]

[eudaimonikos]

[Eh, okay.]

Careful, Kayneth. Once you pop, you can't stop. [yes he does know kayneth won't get the reference and yes he's doing it anyway]

[enjoymyatelier]

...

What are you talking about...?

[eudaimonikos]

Ah, don't worry about it.

[It's not funny if you explain it.]

So, what, the tie broke?

[enjoymyatelier]

I'm glad that it didn't strangle him or cut off circulation to his legs or... however that would harm his anatomy, but having it break when he evolved wasn't exactly ideal.

[eudaimonikos]

Well, I'm sure you can make a wider collar out of something or other.

[enjoymyatelier]

I think I might talk to Camilla about it, since she was the one who gave me the original. She seems competent at that sort of thing.

[eudaimonikos]

She is, isn't she? She made Janet's collar, too - had to get a new one after she evolved, but she was only a little bigger...comparatively.

[this jellyfish is enormous]

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, definitely. Well, granted, Velasquez doesn't exactly have bones, but at the same time, he'd definitely be uncomfortable with something that tight.
