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!]

[The week is near ending and yet there's a girl who appears as unconcerned as ever. She's gotten herself some supplies from the department store today finally. The process of her doing so is that of a bundle of energy prancing from aisle to aisle. She's quick and light on her feet, but not the most graceful. You may be a victim of a collision caused by certain distractions.

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.]
eudaimonikos: (start over again and again)

Department Store

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-06-08 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
What is it?

[Michael's intrigued, at least, he's usually here for helping other people pick out clothes.]
evilidol: (pic#12347341)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I just can't decide.

[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.
eudaimonikos: (a treatise of human nature)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-06-10 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Cheerful? So, bright colors? And practical, too, with all the walking we're doing. You know, I actually just saw this bright pink winter coat in here...

[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.]

omissions: (hey look a shiny thing let's go see it)

... Oh, there you are Linda.

[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?

evilidol: (it's a little embarrassing okay)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh Ari...

[Someone she can be real with.]

Nothing I do seems to work...

[Linda you tried ONE THING...]
omissions: (the circus is in town)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-06-09 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[He could call her out on this, and it's tempting, but...]

It's okay. I've been trying too... it's probably going to take time before they feel comfortable with us.
perfectselfie: (i don't think so... ♡)

[personal profile] perfectselfie 2018-06-08 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you were doing fine!
evilidol: (isn't my song any good?)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
...you really think so?

[Linda perks up a little.]
perfectselfie: (a good friend  ♡)

[personal profile] perfectselfie 2018-06-09 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. We'll have to practice together sometime, because I also sing.
hyruglyphics: (I mean mostly I)

Department Store

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-08 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well she hasn't much gotten a chance to see this one yet?! Or talk to them, at least! So she's excitedly going to come over at being called, or at very least with a smile, ]

May I help you somehow?
evilidol: (pic#12347347)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I want a look that will help spread my message!

[Truly an idol through and through.]

But I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
hyruglyphics: (for me!!)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-09 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
You message...? What would that be?

[ I mean messages are probably good to spread in this emotionally dead world and all, but still. ]
evilidol: (pic#12347345)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a real good question.]

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!
hyruglyphics: (Jibun woo)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh.

Neat?

That said, she nods ]
So you beed clothing which appears loving?
evilidol: (how's my charm point?)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods enthusiastically.]

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!
hyruglyphics: (nearly at 50!!)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-09 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I do not have much expertise in dressing for love... but perhaps vibrant colors would be best. Bold blues, golds, and the like!

[ So she's... going to go look for some cool golden outfit. ]
evilidol: (will you be my cute minion)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... that's very different from my usual style. I like it! I would like to try.

[She's following your lead new friend, eyes all lit up.]
hyruglyphics: (to be using them)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-09 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, as she finds some blue-gold hiking outfits, some dresses, as she holds them out... no, perhaps this is wrong for love? She frowns a little, holding it out a little bit? But... ]

Mmm, maybe this isn't quite right...
evilidol: (i'll follow you anywhere)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
A dress is best. This...

[It may be a little off, but nonetheless--]

I want to try it!
hyruglyphics: (Thank you other people)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-06-10 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh- Well, okay ]

If you enjoy it, that is the best option! So please do...!
enjoymyatelier: but what would that even do. (gradients of babylon...?)

grass

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-08 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it'll probably take some time.

...

And lyrics.
evilidol: (pic#12347346)

[personal profile] evilidol 2018-06-09 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You think so too?

[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.
enjoymyatelier: zach. they're here. (migrane's a comin.)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2018-06-09 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, there are definitely songs that can work without lyrics... but not that one.
