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!]

So you do have experience with things like camping and being on the road.

[That's good! Someone who'll know what they're doing!]

[semistableman]

[It's harder to tell with the layers on, but Bucky is certainly muscular.

He doesn't look put off by the concern, though, regarding the man with interest.]

Besides, even if only half the group decides to camp in the Pokemon Center, there will be too many people for me.

[takestheblame]

It's your choice. If you want to camp here, that's alright. [You have a tent, you have blankets...] You brought food with you?

[semistableman]

Yeah, of course. I've been cookin' my own meals on a fire for a while now.

[He motions at the series of things on the ground. While there's no fire pit, because he's camping on concrete, it definitely looks like he's planning on possibly making one in one of the grassy patches.]

I don't know how long we're going to be in the city, I'll probably buy more when we leave.

[takestheblame]

Good. Be careful. That Cynthia woman said she'd distract the commander so they wouldn't inconvenience us, but she may not be infallible.

[Don't let yourself be captured, pal!]

[semistableman]

[Bucky snorts a laugh.]

Do you think I'm going to wander off on my own?

[takestheblame]

Not really. But the possibility is there.

[He knows nothing about you, Bucky! For all he knows you'll try to storm the headquarters and look for Cyrus. Your camping trip here in this warehouse isn't saying wonders about you wanting to stick with the rest!]

[semistableman]

[Jeez, he was one of the people advocating for not going to immediately try and fuck Cyrus' shit up immediately.

Camping can be fun, and he hates being inside buildings.]

I appreciate your vote of confidence.

[That's said lightly, clearly in jest.]

I'd worry more about the kids, if I were you. There are quite a few teenagers here, and most of 'em look like they've lived a normal life.

[takestheblame]

They're already determined to do what they can. Met one that wanted to fight even though he was so obviously scared.

[semistableman]

Yeah, that's why you've gotta worry about them.

[He's just setting up a tent, come on now.]

That building, the Pokemon Center? It's too crowded. I doubt I'm the only one who's sleeping outside.
