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.

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!]

Department Store

[Camilla winds up walking by the book department with her arms full, but she catches sight of Kiryu out of the corner of her eye. It gets her to walk over to him and see what the book is about...]

Are you looking for something to read to your partner...?

[It doesn't look like that big of a book, so perhaps? Maybe.]

No, I was looking for information about Daigo. [And since this book had a Pancham on the cover, he thought 'why not' and took it] This book is for kids but it has something unexpected about this species...

[Judging by his face, he's not sure what to think about what he found out]

Oh? [Camilla's voice takes a slightly concerned turn, pursing her lip a bit.] What did you find? Surely not something terrible, right...?

I don't think it's bad. It's just...surprising.

[He turns the book around. There on two pages there's illustrations showing a Pancham besides a little girl, the Pancham starts glowing, and on the next page...the Pancham is gone and in its place there's a bear that's much taller than the cute and small Pancham was.

Looks like the book explains what evolution is]


I'm not sure how to take the fact Daigo will grow from his current state to...a full grown bear taller than me in the span of a few seconds.

[Like he knew it was likely Daigo would grow and be larger, but he didn't think it'd be in such a short time! What the heck, Pokemon world?]

[...Oh.

Oh, what on earth--Camilla looks at that like the book itself has a horn growing out of it's head, a most undignified expression taking hold.]


What on earth? Shouldn't that be taking years, at best? How on earth could they possibly grow so much in such a short passage of time?

[The 'WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK' is pretty present in her tone, good god.]

Apparently it's called 'evolution' and is normal in most species.

[Which is so mindboggling. The last straw in his suspense of disbelief is if humans in this world also do that -- good thing they don't, hah!]

...Well, that's an almost frightening prospect.

[To...say the least...]

I imagine it would give any true small child a scare to see their little partner grow so large in the blink of an eye...

[Kiryu checks a few pages]

This doesn't say when it's supposed to happen. [Most likely because, you know, it's a story for children and not an academic text about evolution] Are we going to wake up one day and find out our companions grew in the middle of the night...?

[If it happens to someone before they're out of Veilstone Kiryu's going to give up in trying to find a bit of sense in the Pokemon world]
