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. 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!] |

...He doesn't actually seem pissed off when he turns to face Michael, though? Just. Sort of weirdly flustered.]
Okay, look, first of all? I know.

[Michael, bending slightly to address Scraggy, mimes that thing where you tug on your suspenders with your thumbs.]
no subject
Okay, that's.
[...That's something he is trying very hard not to laugh at, holy shit.]
no subject
That's hilarious. I thought that was skin it was shedding, is it actually attached?
no subject
Yeah, looks like. I just want him to not fall on his fucking face over it.

[Even if it's ridiculous]
Clothes can stay on them when they go back inside the balls. You could make it useful and attach little pouches.
no subject
Good to know, I guess. Not sure about the pouches, but at least I won't have to carry approximately a thousand straps on me for this guy's sake.
no subject
[God, if only]
Mine isn't big enough to carry anything useful, but I'm thinking about getting her a coat of some kind. One of the lakes is up north, and it sounds like it gets pretty cold there.

It does look like a Grass type. They're vulnerable to ice. Probably gonna want to keep an eye on that.

But I didn't exactly "grow up around animals" like a lot of you.

At least they might be useful eventually. Some of them can learn to control the elements. Not mine, she...scratches things.

Not a very good cat if she comes off worse in that scenario.
