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!]

[that is the dumbest, cutest thing Emmeryn's ever heard]

How lovely! That sort of story is bound to become a happy memory someday.

[Said with the sunshiney optimistic determination of someone damn fucking sure things are going to get better in this hellish horror show?? She leans over just enough to pat her Bagon, who does not care about what's going on around him at all, on the head.]

If only this one were a little more talkative...

[fatalstrikes]

Here's hoping.

[It's nice to see someone so optimistic about the future though, it's appreciated...]

I'm sure he'll open up to you in time. ...She?

[???]

[divinedescendant]

...Truthfully, I'm...not entirely certain, myself. I think "he", but...

[please no one prepared her for pet ownership]

[fatalstrikes]

Well, I don't think it hurts to pick one for now. Hopefully someday he'll be able to let you know if you're right or not.

[rip in double rest

but she chuckles, light and friendly, at that, at least.]

The namesake I have in mind has a twin sister, so I suppose I'll be prepared if this little one has to correct me.

[fatalstrikes]

Hey, that's convenient. So what are you thinking of calling him?

[divinedescendant]

There's an old legend about the kingdom to the west of my home and the twin dragons that ruled it in ancient times. The brother, Duma, kept his people strong and steady. So I suppose we'll start there unless I'm mistaken—Duma.

[fatalstrikes]

That's an interesting choice. Here's hoping the little guy can live up to his name!

[...good luck, buddy...]

[divinedescendant]

When he comes to enough to share his thoughts on it, that will be enough for me.

[When, not if. Things are going to get better goddamn it!!!]

[fatalstrikes]

[Yuri smiles at that.]

Yeah. I'm looking forward to that day too.
