Test 5.

VERITY

The journey this month has been easier on you in several ways; despite your losses, your numbers have been bolstered by the addition of two more this month, and unlike the unforgiving terrain on the way to Lake Acuity the routes to Lake Verity seem downright hospitable - they're straightforward, the climate is far more temperate, and there are patches of cheer visible here and there along the paths in the form of those brightly-colored flowers, even as you make your way toward the lakefront.

But the lakefront itself is perhaps unsettlingly silent; a reminder, perhaps, of what you're here to do, of the importance of your task.

You'll reach the lake sometime in the evening. The sun isn't down yet, but it looks as though it won't be too long before it dips below the horizon; there's more than enough light for you to see what the lake itself looks like, however - the water is still and clear, to an extent where you can see straight down to the bottom regardless of how deep it gets. There's no bridge or other way to cross over the lake that you can see, but once again there's a large rock formation rising out of the center of the lake and a good-sized opening in the stone, leading to what's likely a system of caverns further inside.

Your exploration starts here, next to the crystal clear waters of Lake Verity; what happens next is up to you.

[Whatever Rin was going to say next gets aborted when she next opens her mouth. She wasn't even planning on saying it, the words just tumblr out on their own.]

—don't worry, you'll get there. You're already doing really well, you know? You're pretty impressive for staying here as long as you have, ceaselessly trying. How much you care shows.

What about Mars?

[No really, what about her? Did they even see her Pokemon?]

You can't say she wasn't passionate about it, and, um...did we ever actually see her Pokemon, actually...? I mean, it was probably wiped too, but still...

That's so cool! I used to be able to do things like that - I actually had my own pocket of reality to change however I wanted. [.....] Let's not focus on what for. Point is, it's fun!
heritrix: (ooooh)

[personal profile] heritrix 2018-08-24 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't forget, too, their pokemon were just as spiritless as the ones out in the wild. It might take all of them together; the trainer and their whole team.

[Ah, okay, that makes a little more sense.]

Considering the people in the admin seat, really, I couldn't agree with you more dear. Perhaps they just wanted to make us useful.

[...Though, the Professor topic gets some interest, if mostly for him speaking of his partner.]

It's a shame; I imagine meeting him would be wonderful. But I must admit that I'm curious now; who was your first partner? Are they with you now?

...Sort of.

[It's not exactly a lie.]

Some bad people tried to take over the world, and overthrow governments to do it. They very nearly succeeded, but they were stopped in the end.

Around...maybe a month and a half ago? Two months?

I can imagine... No. I probably have no idea what you've gone through, actually. We don't remember what we were like when we were under Team Galactic's control.

[Which she thinks is for the best, even if a part of her wonders. But at the same time, it means she can't understand even half of Lucas's struggles over the last several years.]

But I'd like to see you continue to improve, all the same. Besides yourself, have you noticed any differences in your pokemon?

Mmmm, yeah. I made this little town, the kind humans really like - with cobblestone roads, and a town square with a fountain. It was sort of radial, all the streets converged on the square like the spokes of a wheel. I think that's more aesthetically pleasing than the grid system of city planning.

[It was like Simcity! Complete with the part where you torment your inhabitants, probably]

Ah, good! It's definitely nice to know we have more allies in this situation, given... everything.

[ Champions...

That makes a lot of sense to her, actually. She smiles at that and nods, ]


Well then, perhaps we shall see them there, if we are to end up there. But... regardless. I've loved this world, to explore it and come to know it better. There are horrors to be found, and the state of it is - ... it is difficult, but I want to help save it, if I can.

I know. You're young, and you're out here doing this anyway. That's brave, especially when you don't know who might not want to see you. Where I'm from, you'd still be in school, so that's a compliment-- I'm not trying to be condescending.

I think we can help each other out. We both need to get to the guardian-- and I'm sure Rowan would want to talk to my group.
niceoppai: Sad. (lower lumbar doing alright)

That's the thing. No idea with her... man, now what else is there?
