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!]

And they simply... did as they were told?

[Well, now they seem a little creepy.]

It's like they're autonomous. It's unsettling.

[divinedescendant]

It's...strange. [This is her trying to politely avoid more accurate terms like "creepy as all hell" tbh. She lowers her voice some and frowns.] Cynthia told me the people and creatures here alike aren't even able to take any initiative for themselves. And yet, if there were nothing left to them at all, wouldn't it be easier to ignore requests given?

They must still be in there. Somehow. We were in much the same state until recently.

[It's not a pleasant thought, but it's unfortunately the most likely explanation for all of their lapses in memory. And those stupid outfits.]

[divinedescendant]

[not pleasant, but also not significantly weirder than anything else that's happened to Emmeryn in the past remembered ~24 hours, so as long as she refuses to think too hard about it then it's, it's fine,,,]

They have to be. I won't believe any of them are beyond help—it's just a matter of finding it for them.
