Week 1.

[azumods]

WEEK 1. As Cynthia had promised, the sun does indeed rise the next morning. Whether you slept or not (and sleeping inside the Pokémon Center you were in before seems totally fine by the attendant), it seems Cynthia kept her word; she left sometime shortly before sunrise, and you haven't been bothered by Team Galactic and those that work for it in the interim. It isn't advisable to return to the headquarters building, however. At least not for the time being. However, a new day does dawn, and with it comes the knowledge that you're in an unfamiliar city, completely on your own. There are several things to be done before you can leave: gathering supplies and provisions, finding maps, obtaining new clothes... Of course, your new "companions" are still with you, and they don't seem willing to leave your side; they'll follow you dutifully, but they still seem...wrong, horribly so, and it doesn't seem to be wearing off. Maybe if you work with them a little...? Try to talk to them, train them, teach them to do things... Who knows? It might do them some good. CURRENT LOCATION: VEILSTONE CITY POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week one 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! Feel free to investigate the city as you see fit this week; we ask only that you try to stagger investigations and be mindful of what's already been checked. If you wish to investigate, notify the mods in your comment subject for your top-level and we'll get on it as soon as possible!]

Was it the cat thing?

[no shame]

[eudaimonikos]

[now here's a guy who gets how to not @]

[eudaimonikos]

The local economy must have been really strange at one point...

[radiantflame]

[YOU ARE THE OLDEST ONE HERE, SIR]

[radiantflame]

A demon? That explains quite a lot.

[Emmeryn's sat all prim and proper with her hands folded in her lap and her Bagon sitting inelegantly on his butt at her feet, because Bagon weigh like a hundred pounds so she can't lift him into her lap like does she look like someone with a str stat???

anyway it is in this moment that she realizes that she had better decide stat whether or not she's dropping the queen bomb—but, like, is she really though?? does it count???? like she was definitely queen last she remembered but that definitely can't be true anymore

emm's had a real exciting week.]

My name is Emmeryn, and I hail from the Halidom of Ylisse—the continent's holy kingdom. I've some training as a sage, in healing and other magic arts, but nothing I can utilize as things are, unfortunately... In truth, this sort of travel will be new to me, but I certainly have no wish to slow anyone down. I'll do all I can to be of help.

We've such a marvelously diverse group here, though! I'm truly looking forward to getting to know each of you.

[the decision is "royalty status: it's complicated"]

[eudaimonikos]

[and the most hip]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

[It is pretty useless. Still, Sena wants to think that there's something important about this.]

I wonder why she's gone? You don't think Team Galactic got her?

[Maybe she was one of those people they "re-educated"?]

[eudaimonikos]

[Michael giggles evilly. Literally, it sounds very evil.]

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

It kinda would be, yeah...

[The thought makes Sena giggle a bit, as absurd as it sounds.]

They suit him, though.

[perfectselfie]

[She'll take that offer, and sit on the grass.]

It is definitely quieter than I'm used to. It was a little unnerving at first, but I'm getting used to it.

[perfectselfie]

[Ichigo is a girl!]

I don't know, but I want to try. It can't hurt her, right?

[Aya smiles.]

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah, that's fine. Just try a few different things on and see what works.

[He's sure as fuck not interested in pursuing the actual measurements - he'll just grab a few different sizes of the nearest pants and hold them out to her.]

[bloodspent]

It might have been the cat thing.

[HE THINKS THIS IS HILARIOUS, SIR.]

[hyruglyphics]

I asked... and they simply reiterated that it gives them purpose.

[ . . . ]

So I do not believe so. I believe it is possible those people we saw in the building were those people.

[eudaimonikos]

[He snickers into his hand

same tbh]

[perfectselfie]

[Aya will totally help @ people here, just say the word.]

[eudaimonikos]

[He scoffs.]

Not a very good cat if she comes off worse in that scenario.

[perfectselfie]

I don't think we need to @ you.

...though the ten-headed spider-dog thing is the most frightening thing I have ever had to think about.

[eudaimonikos]

Sounds like a strong possibility. I wonder if...

[Wait, let him think about this a second.]

...no, nevermind.

[eudaimonikos]

They recently developed flying bears with four mouths?

[perfectselfie]

Still scary, but at least they aren't spiders.

[hyruglyphics]

The Divine Beasts are truly massive and powerful weapons the ancient Sheikah made in order to battle the Calamity. All four them were designed to be used by some of the other tribes of Hyrule other than the Hylians, and are suited to them. We excavated them in modern times and put in great efforts to allow them to be piloted by appointed Champions.


[ She sounds proud, really. ]

Wanda is a friend?

[hyruglyphics]

It is still better than if it might be able to happen with a wave of his hand. After all, we are in his territory.

[ . . . She can't help but think of how Ganon took over the Guardians. ]

[takestheblame]

I almost feel like I shouldn't ask what's your job.

[In his experience, when you have to move around a lot, you're pursued by yakuzas. Could be similar problems for Jake[
