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!]

Indeed, they are making some headway compared to earlier. You're quite good at this. [ The cheering, he means but he also looks at the two listless pokemon as he says it. ]

Litleo—move forward, and choose which bush you think the rock is in. [ Shirou opts to continue to give clear orders rather than cheer, and to his credit his Litleo does follow his most recent command. ...nada on choosing a bush though. ]

You're good at this too. Look, you even got him pretty far already.

[ Shirou's leadership skills are certainly refined -- he wonders about it a little. He doesn't know much about this man -- which includes his name as of now. He encourages his Pokemon some more, which gets Klefki to move about...two paces forward. That's. Some sort of progress.

But, he'll turn to Shirou again. ]

By the way, my name's Ventus, but you can call me Ven. It seemed kind of silly for us to be working together and not even knowing each other's names, right?

[hesychast]

Yes, but I would prefer he make some decisions on his own. Still, he has made progress. [ His voice still has that authoritative quality, but he waits patiently to see if Litleo will make a move on his own. That is until Ventus' introduces himself at least, and he turns to face him with a somewhat frazzled smile. ]

Oh! Forgive me for failing to do so sooner. I am Shirou Kotomine, it is a pleasure to meet and work with you, Ven.
