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!]

Exactly like that, actually. A guy I grew up with joined the knights to try to change them from within, but I couldn't stand by while the knights let innocent people get hurt. I can do more to help with the guilds.

[And on his own, because Yuri's a vigilante like that.]

[niceoppai]

I think I can kind of get both. And now we're kind of outside the structure of anything.

[fatalstrikes]

Yeah. We've got a whole new set of challenges to face here. It should be interesting.

[Not exactly ideal, but definitely interesting.]

[niceoppai]

Too bad we're stuck relying on ourselves because of it...

[fatalstrikes]

Well, it's not just ourselves. We've got the other people who woke up here, and we've got our partners.

[He glances down at Roc. She's still not doing anything but she's here!!]

[niceoppai]

That's true! I named mine Lemonade. I pointed randomly around the store until I found something that sounded cute!

[...]

[oh my god]

I can't decide if that's better or worse than mine. She's Roc, because I asked her what she wanted to be called and she answered with her species name, "Rockruff".

[niceoppai]

Come on, it's great! And isn't a roc some kind of old myth bird? You could just say you wanted it to sound cool!

[fatalstrikes]

Is it? That sounds way better than "rock but without the k".

[niceoppai]

Yeah! I heard that once, and I'm pretty good at remembering what I hear.

[fatalstrikes]

Pretty useful skill, especially here. We're going to be taking in a lot of new information to learn about these guys.

[It's going to be such a pain...]
