Week 1.

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!]

Lobanja, I think.

[His naming skills don't exist but it's in a foreign language so it's fine.]
semistableman: (✪ maybe you're a joker)

[Unfortunately, he's speaking to the man who knows over 30 languages. We don't have a complete list so I am absolutely saying he knows Serbian.

That being said, he makes a strange noise that's between a cough and a laugh, bringing his hand to his face.]


Cute. It fits.

[Ehhhh, he just settles back a bit, a light laugh behind his words when he speaks.]

I'm still doing better than the Americans, they're unimaginative and they butcher the pronunciation every damn time. One outta two ain't bad.

You're good with languages, I'm guessing?
semistableman: of my own (★ never had a cherry valance)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-09 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know a few.

[A few, he says.]

That's why I'm goin' with names I already know. No possibility to mess it up.
bloodspent: (03. you made a vow)

[personal profile] bloodspent 2018-06-09 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
Likewise. As someone who also knows a few.
semistableman: (❅ take away all you got)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-09 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of the names that were popular when I was a kid are practically unknown these days.

It's actually pretty strange thinking about.
bloodspent: (04. never get mad)

[personal profile] bloodspent 2018-06-09 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
The world's changed a lot since then, I'm guessing. Just in general.
semistableman: (❅ somebody warns you to slip away)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-09 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Bucky nods.]

Not a lot's the same, to be honest. It's why I'm glad I live on a little farm; where I live, they're big on tradition, and passing it down. The culture's different, but it's not like I recognize the culture of my own country to begin with.
bloodspent: (07. they're all the same)

[personal profile] bloodspent 2018-06-09 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'll believe that. A lot's changed over the past...what, three? four? years in Edonia; you'd barely recognize the place anymore.
semistableman: (❅ somebody warns you to slip away)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-09 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I can imagine. Things change so quickly, it's actually pretty impressive? It's really impressive.

It's not always for the best, but I've kinda gotten used to that.
bloodspent: (03. you made a vow)

[personal profile] bloodspent 2018-06-09 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I doubt anyone'd say it's for the better, in my case. Unless you're asking the people who are making money off of it.
semistableman: on the bottom of the grave (✪ dead men lying)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-09 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ha!

[That makes Bucky laugh, honest as it is cynical.]

Like they'd say anything but how it's a good thing.
bloodspent: (28. when you were there first)

[personal profile] bloodspent 2018-06-09 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe they genuinely think it is. Who knows, they wouldn't be the first ones to profit off someone's misery.

[He's a mercenary, said as much at the meeting. He knows a good amount about profiting off misery.]
semistableman: (★ if i could do it all again)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-09 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Bucky shrugs, stooping to pick up the skiddo at his feet, that doesn't react so much as make a noise like a sigh at being scooped up off the ground.]

Yeah, I've had plenty of experiences with people like that. They're pretty good at twisting things to their benefit.
bloodspent: (01. cheated and lied)

[personal profile] bloodspent 2018-06-09 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever helps people sleep at night, I guess. On the one hand, it pisses me off; on the other, I'm pretty sure that's just because it's happening to me.

[He shrugs.]

It doesn't matter in the end, I guess. What happened, happened.
semistableman: (★ someone that i never knew)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-09 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Happened to me, too.

[He rubs at the skiddo's chin, looking thoughtful.]

I figure there's a chance for me to do some good here. Help the people here out, because they sure as hell aren't able to do it on their own.
bloodspent: (07. they're all the same)

[personal profile] bloodspent 2018-06-09 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
You think we're actually going to manage anything? I mean, I'm not saying we shouldn't try, but "punched in the brain by God" is a hell of a thing to fix.
semistableman: (★ i never had a 'summer of 69')

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-06-10 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
We've all recovered.

So yeah, I think we can do something about it.
