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. 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 the one word, "Golett". I've taken to calling it that - it doesn't seem to mind.
[Not that...they really show all that much of anything, but...]
...has yours started to...you know, be a bit more animated?
no subject
And not... really. I'm expecting it's going to be a more gradual process... and honestly, I'm not entirely sure why our emotions were awakened in the first place when everyone else's weren't. Perhaps it's because we're not originally from this world.

[Let her tap Golett on the shoulder and draw its attention over here.]
Golett isn't in the book, but I can show you what I mean about its name - Golett, could you...?
[We're talking? Golett will talk, then.]

[his eyes do kind of brighten upon seeing the thing because this is wild, it's literally just a golem]
Well, that's really interesting. It actually kind of reminds me of a legend from my world.
[...well, more than just a legend, but he's trying to keep things on the down-low...]
Basically, in a certain religious tradition, there were said to be people who could make humanoid figures out of clay and then animate them by placing a scroll with words into them. That construct is known as a "golem."
no subject
[Well damn, Kayneth, that's...actually legitimately interesting, especially because-]
See, I had this feeling that Golett might be made out of rock, but clay makes so much more sense! Look, if you touch it, that's what it feels like.
[You are free to go ahead and touch the Poke-Golem, Kayneth!
....Rey promises it won't bite, it doesn't....really do anything at all.]
no subject
[he kind of pats it...]
Yes, it definitely feels a lot more like clay. That's really interesting, actually... I know they're not all supposed to be animals, but I'm kind of surprised that the broad, sweeping category of Pokemon includes things like this.
no subject
I wonder if "Pokemon" is just a general term for anything here that's non-human? And, you know, not a plant or anything like that.
[It would make sense...]
Some of the ones in my book are really strange to look at.
