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!]

Jesus, do I seem like a degenerate or something?

[He sounds more amused than anything, though.]

Nah, more like I've never really lived anywhere. Not since I was a kid, anyway. Partially for work, partially because I like it that way.

I almost feel like I shouldn't ask what's your job.

[In his experience, when you have to move around a lot, you're pursued by yakuzas. Could be similar problems for Jake[

[bloodspent]

It doesn't really matter to me. Are you asking?

[takestheblame]

Well now that you said that, I'll bite the bullet. What's your job?

[bloodspent]

I'm a mercenary. Freelance, not really answering to anybody if they're not paying me straight-up.

[takestheblame]

That explains a lot. I had never met a mercenary before, but that does sound like the kind of thing that'd force you to move a lot. You must have seen a lot of what your world has to offer, eh?

[bloodspent]

Hell yeah, I have. One of the best parts of the job, if you ask me. Some places are better than others, granted, but for the most part it's been good. Never really liked being tied down to one place, anyway.
