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!]

That's not too far off. [Aya laughs.]

I'm in a band, back at home, and I do hope singing will make people happy.

[niceoppai]

Whoa, seriously? Like all those kids' stories about music bringing happiness? It's a little nostalgic, put that way.

[perfectselfie]

It's exactly like that. I think music is really powerful, that way. I want to be the kind of singer that inspires others.

[niceoppai]

You know, it sounds weird, but we could really use anything we've got! I say go for it.

[perfectselfie]

I think I will.

[She'll start singing, then - not the words, but the tune to this song.]

[niceoppai]

[She laughs a little but claps along.]

At least it doesn't look as dangerous here. So far, anyway. Aside from the brainwashing cult.

[perfectselfie]

I still can't get over how creepy that is.

[niceoppai]

No kidding. Especially in a place that used to be so nice, from the looks of it.

[perfectselfie]

I know. I can imagine what it used to be like, and the difference is like night and day...

[niceoppai]

And thinking we were like that too, huh?

[perfectselfie]

[Aya visibly shivers.]

Don't even remind me. It's nightmare fuel.

[niceoppai]

No kidding, and gross, too. I guess there's no rest for us now.
