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!] |

Or you might be there to witness a tough decision-- a cute girl (with horns) torn between getting this or that and which one is better. If you don't hurry past, she may catch you and ask for your quality advice with an enthusiastic wave of her arm. If you're reluctant, she'll grab you and make up your mind for you.
Later you can find her in a grassy area with her new friend. It's not looking so good.
...that may have something to do with the singing she's doing. It's uh. Something! There aren't words-- just a lot of 'la'-ing. But it's a very uplifting melody. Her voice isn't bad but it's... not amazing either.]
Hmmm... no good?
[She looks good and disappointed, truly, that her new friend-- Bubbles-- doesn't seem impressed.]
Department Store
[Michael's intrigued, at least, he's usually here for helping other people pick out clothes.]
no subject
[In true idol fashion, she wants to get her look down, so she appreciates the help.]
If my songs are going to reach everyone, I think a cheerful look will help me spread that message.
no subject
[He's delved into the women's section of this store a few times already for this exact reason, but he's still gonna need a second to look here.]

[Hey friend, guess who is walking over to you with his Klink following along. He doesn't mean to interrupt your uh... singing there, Linda, but he wanted to check up on you and your Pokemon.]
Are you two doing alright?
no subject
[Someone she can be real with.]
Nothing I do seems to work...
[Linda you tried ONE THING...]
no subject
It's okay. I've been trying too... it's probably going to take time before they feel comfortable with us.

Department Store
May I help you somehow?
no subject
[Truly an idol through and through.]
But I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
no subject
[ I mean messages are probably good to spread in this emotionally dead world and all, but still. ]
no subject
As an idol, I've always wanted to spread a message of love straight from my heart. I've had trouble doing that before, but-- maybe that's why I'm here now!
no subject
Neat?
That said, she nods ] So you beed clothing which appears loving?
no subject
Something... light. Something cheerful. My songs haven't been enough to bring love and joy back to the people here. Maybe a look that's more familiar to them will stir their emotions!
no subject
[ So she's... going to go look for some cool golden outfit. ]
no subject
[She's following your lead new friend, eyes all lit up.]
no subject
Mmm, maybe this isn't quite right...
no subject
[It may be a little off, but nonetheless--]
I want to try it!
no subject
If you enjoy it, that is the best option! So please do...!
grass
...
And lyrics.
no subject
[She takes criticism well-- she's used to it. In fact, she's already thinking on it.]
...yes. Without lyrics, I'll never be able to properly convey my feelings.
