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!]

Thanks! Figured everything at least wants to make the minimal effort to live and stuff. Hmm... what do you think this one does?

[hyruglyphics]

It looks quite heavyset... and it does seem to be eating these things without hesitation...

[ Mmmm... I mean, good question. She seems thoughtful. ]

Perhaps it scavenges?

[niceoppai]

Maybe! C'mon, over here... now!

[She tosses a ball at it, and even though she nearly fumbles it, it catches the Munchlax with zero resistance.]

There! I guess now I have to find stuff to feed it, but I'm sort of used to travelling companions who eat everything.

[hyruglyphics]

[ It is actually really cool to see the ball thrown right in front of her like this...? She laughs a little bit, and claps lightly for Chelsea. ]

Good work, Chelsea!

[niceoppai]

Hehehe. Thanks a lot! I just did what the books said. Even if it did take me a while to get through them all. Sometimes it gives me a headache.

[hyruglyphics]

[ Aren't most of those like children's books... ]

There are some complexities to them. I don't think I've memorized every specific mentioned or all of those type relationships. Even so, you did manage to - catch! That one.

[niceoppai]

Oh, it's easy for me to remember things! But words on a page just get all jumbled up.

[hyruglyphics]

Oh. ... Do you learn better from the spoken word?

[niceoppai]

I can! But I can read manuals and stuff. It just takes a while, that's all.

[hyruglyphics]

I did not mean to doubt that! [ She says somewhat apologetically, and bowing her head lightly. ] Sorry... I meant that should we come across some more extensive library in future, perhaps I could read material for you which is confusing you... if that would be easier.

[niceoppai]

I don't wanna trouble you or anything. Just... ehe. If you're sure. I know you're thinking about what's best for everybody.

[hyruglyphics]

No, I don't mind at all. [ She says, brushing back some of her hair, looking a little sheepish at Chelsea and her new ball thing. That said, she nods ] I merely offer to help, as you said.

[niceoppai]

Guess it's part of the job, right?

[hyruglyphics]

As a scholar...?

[niceoppai]

As someone everyone here respects! I mean, I know you're basically still a kid, but everyone seems to like you.

[hyruglyphics]

[ What... that's...

Her cheeks color a little, and she looks a bit confused for a moment, but... ]

I... I thank you. I did not think my impression was such...

[niceoppai]

You didn't? Maybe it's because you're really serious about helping everybody!

[hyruglyphics]

[ She lowers her gaze a moment, but ends up nodding ]

... Perhaps so. It seems natural to me to do all I can to assist in our goals. And acting upon that feeling is all I've done.
