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!]

I thought of that. But there wasn't one where they were selling these, and the nurse at the Center was not helpful. All anyone would say is "use it on your Pokemon".

And, of course, not all of them are compatible with every Pokemon. [He puts that disc back, selects another.] So even if I were doing it right, it still might not work. Not sure how to gauge compatibility, aside from guessing based on type.

Helpful.

[Sarcasm, of course.

Eustace makes his way over to the counter to peer at the discs behind it. If those people really meant "apply the TM directly to the Pokemon"...]

Something has to happen if you've chosen the correct TM and Pokemon. How else would you know it worked, short of calling the move afterword?

[That would work well enough...but some kind of visible confirmation beforehand would save the trouble of announcing all these moves for no reason if they're not going to work.]

[eudaimonikos]

That's what I'm thinking. Terrible design flaw, if there's no indicator...

[Michael holds out the new TM to Purrloin idly. After a moment, she closes the last little bit of distance, pressing her forehead against the disc. The disc begins to glow.]

Wh - that is. Not what I expected.
