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!]

In that case...talking to them is risky to some extent, isn't it? I don't know how tolerant deities are in terms of common people talking to them, but it'll be like walking on eggshells.

[Or so he supposes]

[hesychast]

Why would you think that? Many gods are humble, but for those who are not, they often can be appeased by other means.

[ Not that he has experience or anything. ]

[takestheblame]

People who don't have peers tend to get somewhat conceited. Gods hardly have peers, even among them.

[At least from what he remembers in religions such as Shintoism. Things are so complicated when it's about gods]

[hesychast]

You sound like you've witnessed such a thing first hand.

[ Go on, go on. ]

[takestheblame]

Not deities, but I do have met people who were considered 'untouchable'. Some may have even thought they were like gods. Power corrupts and so does being alone on top of the mountain.

[Not exactly deities, but close enough, in terms of power and influence. Pretty much deities in society]

[hesychast]

...ah. [Shirou shifts, rising to his feet. ]

Kings, emperors, lords...they're all judged the same in the end. Not only by God, but by history who is a much crueler mistress.
