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!]


enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

Hm. Well, I think that might... take some time, certainly.

[He ponders it.]

I'm not sure which would be better, honestly. I'm thinking about it from the perspective that it might be a little easier to start with them when they're like this and then deal with any personality quirks as they emerge, if... that's how it's going to go.
hyruglyphics: (here some more!)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-09 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I would much rather that they presented their personalities ... so I might know if I am in the right to befriend them. I cannot help but feel a little exploitative, even in relation to this one.

[ The Beldum, that is. ]

I suppose I understand that feeling. It's a bit strange to just... go out and throw a ball at some creature and expect it to like you for it.
hyruglyphics: (so like I'll get some better)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-09 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been trying to wrap my head around it too. I would have preferred to talk to Cynthia more about it, but I did not realize that was the culture at the time...
enjoymyatelier: he's only attractive when drawn by takeuchi (what a cool guy)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-09 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely we’d be finding more evidence of there being problems with the setup if they existed, though, given that this seems less like a rewritten universe and more like someone just removed emotions while leaving behind all traces of the previous world.
hyruglyphics: (tbh I think that)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-10 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes...

[ But still . . . ]
enjoymyatelier: you're being too preemptive, bro... (how about a toast to my victory)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-10 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[...like, on the one hand, he's considering these things to be really cute, charming familiars that he's starting to get more attached to than a usual familiar.

...

on the other hand he does have a little bit of a feeling he should be less callous around people who aren't mages.]


Well, I'll probably work it out with them later, and I'll treat them as decently as I can until then.
hyruglyphics: (Thank you other people)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
-Oh, I did not mean to cast doubt upon you, or upon your intentions! ... Rather just...

[ She exhales ]

For myself, I want to connect with this one more before I consider... anything else.
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-12 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... well, I get that. Everyone's different, and I think it'll be interesting to see the results of all these different approaches we're taking at the end of the day.
hyruglyphics: (idk man)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-12 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed. I do hope that any of them are able to produce results, and restore what has been lost to out companions.
enjoymyatelier: it's difficult to believe but people actually like this guy (possibly gentlemanly)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-12 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
As do I.

Well, I should probably off to see if anyone else wants to volunteer. Do keep an eye out, and I'll let you know how things turn out.
hyruglyphics: (I mean some look okay?)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-13 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
And I shall tell you if they at least came to me!

[ Which.

She will. ]
enjoymyatelier: this is guaranteed (man this conversation sure is going well)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-14 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
And I thank you in advance!

[TIME TO PEACE OUT]
