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!]

Japan. Is that the name of your world?

[It still feels strange to talk of different worlds, but she's going to make herself get used to it.]

[takestheblame]

It's the name of the country. A world is much larger than this, it's... [It's strange to talk about worlds to someone who may come from a different place, yep!] Japan is just a small part of the whole thing.

[She nods.] I understand. But what makes you think Sinnoh is like your country? Studying these maps, nothing here seems remotely similar to Alrest. ...Ah, that's the name of my world.

[Sinnoh doesn't seem to be sitting on top of a giant that's slowly swimming around an endless sea, for starters.]

This here. [Kiryo points a place that's some distance away from Sinnoh] That's Kanto. The shape and name fits the Kanto I know, and in general... [He takes a map that shows the entire planet] Sinnoh is part of the island the country I live in is at. I dunno if that makes sense, but it sure seems to me that way.

Curious. You're the first person I've talked to who's home shares a name with this place. I wonder if your world and this one are linked somehow?

[takestheblame]

It'd be bizarre if they are. My world is nowhere close to this one.

[No strange creatures, the names of most locations are different...it's so weird to think they could be linked]
