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. 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!] |

[He's seen nothing of the sort other than toys in his world. The thought of artificial animals...it's weird]
no subject
[He considers this, making a little gesture in the air.] Well, that's not what we call it. But it's that general idea.
no subject
[If it hadn't been for the whole emotionless people and multiple worlds, he wouldn't have believed it]
...wow.
[Yeah. He's speechless for a moment]
Does that make you a demon?
no subject
That's not entirely accurate, but it's an acceptable term.
no subject
[This Galactic organization must have a lot of power in...whatever they used to bring them all, he thinks]
no subject
no subject
[It's unlikely anyone would remember a face among hundred billions and Kiryu knows that, but by sheer numbers the odds someone else from Michael's world was brought here...they're not astronomically small. Maybe they did and nobody's aware of that]
no subject
[He clearly hadn't fully considered that possibility until now.]
I mean, obviously I haven't personally encountered everyone in the afterlife. Aaaaand I might not recognize every human I've seen over the years. If I've run into them before, they might actually be better off here.
no subject
[Is Hell as bad as it sounds like? Youknow better than anyone, eh, Michael?]
no subject
[Honest question: he has his own thoughts, but his outlook is pretty different.]
no subject
[Well isn't that a clever question? And one Kiryu can't answer. He can't decide what is worse, because both options are so damn awful]
That's like asking what leg you'd rather have chopped off. Both options are terrible.
At least the people here have some hope of being saved, even if it's...just because we got lucky enough to recover from what Cyrus did.
[If it hadn't been for that astronomically unlikely event, there may not have been any hope for anyone]
no subject
Do you think we will end up helping them in the end, then?
[Because that didn't sound like it was necessarily in the cards.]
no subject
[Kiryu sure is determined to find a way, no matter how difficult it ends being. This is faaaaar beyond the scope of what he's used to deal with, but he'll try nonetheless]
no subject
[He seems carefully neutral on the subject, for the moment.]
no subject
[Kiryu sees no reason for her to not accept it, though. She seems willing to lend a hand and solve this whole thing]
no subject
[He glances away for a second, drumming his fingers rapidly against his leg.]
But helping them is definitely the right thing to do.
