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.

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!]

[ Ah, hello. He greets her with a small smile. ]

Not yet. I would prefer to call him what he likes, but that seems impossible...

[She looks a little sad as she leans over to pat her Bagon's head, but just as soon, she's smiling, friendly, up at Shirou again.]

I'm hoping to choose a name he'll grow to like, once he remembers how. A name is too important a thing to go without, but not so important as to be immutable.

[ He tilts his head, thoughtful. ]

Indeed even the names of great heroes have changed throughout history, as their stories were told time and time again. And then there are those who sought to change their name in order to remake themselves. [ ... ] I won't leave him without a name for much longer, but it seemed rather presumptuous to not offer him a chance first.

I think it can wait a little longer, just as well. One person I spoke to chose their new friend's name with her input, as much as she could give it. Ah, mine isn't nearly so talkative, though...

Oh? How did she do that? [ His pokemon isn't really talkative either. With a small nod he moves to sit beside Emmeryn, placing his Litleo squarely in his lap after a small pause. ]

[The only reason Bagon doesn't get a lap seat is because he's like a hundred pounds and Emmeryn can't pick him up, womp womp. She happily shifts so there's room for Shirou to sit, though.]

If I understood correctly, she barked, and that was used as inspiration.

[she sounds so fond... arguably dumb as hell but she thinks it's just so cute]

That is certainly one way to go about it. [ There's a hint of amusement in his tone too. ]

Hmm... in that case, perhaps something related to a cat or lion would be fitting. There are many stories of lions in the Bible...

I've chosen to draw inspiration from old stories and legends myself, though I can't say I'm familiar with that specific collection... But it means the name will always have a shared meaning. In a way, it will already have precious bonds through it.

[personal profile] hesychast 2018-06-07 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Collection? Ah, the bible is a religous scripture. [ He's still getting used to Catholicism and Christianity being unheard of here. ]

When you put it that way, it sounds like an excellent way to establish a bond between us.

[ He smiles warmly, apparently smitten by the idea. ]
divinedescendant: (but my love for you needs no water)

[personal profile] divinedescendant 2018-06-07 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
&mdash:Oh! Oh, dear, I'm so sorry, I hadn't heard that term before...

[i don't trust you at all limon bht this is cute. she smiles, warm and friendly.]

In that case, may I start by asking your name?

It's not a problem, I'm sorry for not explaining to begin with.

[ Speaking of apologies though, Shirou startles at her question, his smile turning sheepish. ]

My, I really should be the one apologizing for not introducing myself. I am Shirou Kotomine, a Catholic Priest.
divinedescendant: (jenna dreams of being physically able to)

[personal profile] divinedescendant 2018-06-07 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's consider ourselves even, then. [said lightly, though, with a short wave of her hand dismissing the apology.]

I am Emmeryn, a sage from Ylisse. Our homes must be so different, so despite the challenges our circumstances have us facing, I'm pleased that they've allowed me to meet you, Shirou.

[personal profile] hesychast 2018-06-08 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
As am I. [ He smiles brightly. ]

A sage....does that mean you teach some type of art?
