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!]

Just looking at it, I'd say Steel. But some of them have two types, and that's not always obvious to look at.

Didn't see anything about that specific one, it's probably not native to this region... [He scans over the books he hasn't read yet, selects one, and starts flipping through it.] A lot of ours aren't.

[omissions]

Huh... I wonder why ours are so different from everyone else's living here.

[eudaimonikos]

It's strange, isn't it...

[He doesn't seem to like this fact.]

I feel like they must have done it on purpose for some reason. I'm just not sure what.

[omissions]

I'm not sure either. Maybe... they wanted to be able to tell us apart from the other people that were in that building?

[A reminder that the ones with exotic Pokemon were the ones they had kidnapped and forced into that uniform and wig, he means?]

[eudaimonikos]

That's a possibility...though they could have just given us differently-colored uniforms or something like that. It does seem like they wanted to keep us separate, we were all bunked in that one room...

[unless there's some other kidnapped people in other rooms up there that they just totally left behind, oops]

[omissions]

Yeah... it's all really strange.

[And there's no one to ask about it, except maybe this Cyrus person that Cynthia mentioned.]

[eudaimonikos]

Well. We can wonder about it all we like, but we can't know for sure right now. We already know there wasn't much to find in the building.

[So. Sort of a moot point.]

Some Pokemon also evolve at some point in their life. That's what they call it, it's more of a sudden transformation as far as I can tell.

[omissions]

Evolve? Huh... maybe we'll get to see something like that while we're here?

[eudaimonikos]

I imagine so. Most of them only need time to grow to that point. There's others that require exposure to special stones or something, not sure where we'd get those...
