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!]

[This is...pathetic. A really good person would probably feel terrible about this. Michael feels...well, he doesn't feel good, so that's something.]

Does she live here?

[azumods]

["No. Not anymore."]

[eudaimonikos]

Where does she live?

[azumods]

["Can't see her anymore."]

[eudaimonikos]

And why is that?

[He's just gonna get a drink of water. While he's at it, does this fridge seem stocked?]

[azumods]

[It is, though this guy seems to be taking the healthy living thing to heart.

That said, though, he just kind of shakes his head.
"It's better that way."]

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah, I can see that.

[At least he's getting out?]

Why practice the writing, then?

[azumods]

["...I don't know." There's a pause, though. "It's important."]

[eudaimonikos]

Well.....it looks very neat.

[He's not sure what to say. Maybe he'll take this back to some of the others.Someone else would be better suited for this kind of thing.]

What's your name?

[azumods]

["Liam."]

[eudaimonikos]

Right. I'm Michael.

[......heeeee hates this a little bit]

Liam - I think it's...important, to remember the people we care about who aren't here right now. To try to do things that won't disappoint them, when we see them again.

[He's done fine by the others. He let his Pokemon out of the ball eventually. Cynthia doesn't want their help with all of this, she just wants them to go home, and the fact that he wants that too is lucky happenstance. He's doing enough.

He may be the only one of his friends who would seriously just walk away from all this.

Strike that thing from before, he hates this a whole lot.]

But I think all of this is probably unhealthy. Why don't you take a little break from the graphomania?

[azumods]

[That gives him pause for a moment, it seems, before he just kind of...sets the pen down.

"All right."

That's it. No argument, no protest, nothing.]

[eudaimonikos]

[.....oh hell, he did the thing. Is there actually a way to talk to them without giving them orders?]

I mean, you can pick it back up later! Just do whatever you want, buddy! [He's seen enough of them to know that's not gonna go anywhere.] Hey, you like books? I've got this great book about working with Pokemon!

[Michael you literally just stole that from this man's shelf]
