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!]

Well, yeah, I guess it would be pretty strange if you were dealing with the divine all the time. It's not something that I've ever encountered back home, though.

[discutio]

Just thought I might ask. Obviously I doubt this will be the same as the Hexatheon, but it seemed worth asking around in case I was the only one from a world with an active divine presence.

[fatalstrikes]

Hexatheon?

[Huh...]

It sounds like we all come from pretty different worlds.

[discutio]

'Six gods', in other words.

[instead of 'pantheon'. language is weird.]

It would seem we do; the differences are already seeming a bit startling.

[fatalstrikes]

Well, we've already got three accounted for, so who knows.

[Shrug!]

I've already spoken to some people who are from worlds that don't have monsters everywhere. It's pretty strange to think about.

[discutio]

It does sound as if that would be a far simpler world to live in, doesn't it? If a difficult one to imagine.

[fatalstrikes]

It'd be nice not to have to worry about them, but it sounds a bit boring... What would you do if you don't have any tough monsters to look forward to fighting?

[not everyone wants to get punched in the face, yuri]

[discutio]

I can assure you there would have been an abundance of things to do without having to worry about the wildlife.

[fatalstrikes]

Huh. I guess my life was pretty boring before leaving the city.

[discutio]

...Admittedly, I feel I could say much the same.

[fatalstrikes]

So why'd you end up leaving?

[discutio]

Obligation. I had work to be done outside the capital.

[fatalstrikes]

Oh yeah? What kind of work? Actually, what is it you do, exactly?

[discutio]

[Good question.]

I’m a hunter myself. Combat duty, that sort of thing.

[A technically true answer.]

[fatalstrikes]

Oh yeah? Is it something you enjoy?

[discutio]

My occupation is...something I take great pride in, yes.

[fatalstrikes]

That's not exactly the same as enjoying it.

[But he's not going to press, he'll let it slide.]

Have you traveled a lot?

[discutio]

Across my world and back again. Traveling is something I'm very accustomed to.

[fatalstrikes]

Same here, though it's been awhile since I've done it on foot. It's good there's at least a few of us who are experienced with traveling, though.
