Week 13.

[azumods]

WEEK 13 The trip to Celestic Town is an unconventional one, though it's infinitely faster than walking and doesn't leave everyone feeling woozy in the same way that teleportation does. The town itself is a small one, though it's scenic, and there's a sort of beauty to it that's very rustic in nature; it's surrounded on both sides by mountainous routes that you're welcome to go on to both the west and the east, though it wouldn't be recommended that you venture too far out, seeing as they can be on the dangerous side for those who are unfamiliar with them. It seems Cynthia was right about one thing - there was certainly an incident at Lake Verity that went off almost as soon as you left, another of those deep pulses echoing through the surrounding area; it seems that whatever Mesprit did can be felt by the region as a whole, given that Celestic Town and the surrounding areas seem to have been affected as well despite being so far east of the lake. Cynthia herself can be found throughout the town for the duration, should anyone want to speak to her. Sometimes when left to her own devices, she can be seen in the company of a little girl who looks very similar to herself; sometimes she's with a pair of people much older. Either way, the family resemblance is strong. Lucas is here as well; he's still willing to speak to anyone that wants to, though he seems a bit subdued. Either way, it's been a long, harrowing trip so far; hopefully spending some time here will help to rejuvenate you.

Shrine

[takestheblame]

Back at home we also leave some money at the shrines.

[Like this. Kiryu puts some money on the shrine. He really doubts any Pokemon deity will have any use for that, but he figures someone will pick the money and use it to do maintenance on the shrine]

[semistableman]

Money? Like a tithe, huh.

[It's not a bad idea; and thankfully someone has money on them, because until he does some odd jobs around town, he's not going to have any himself.]

Local deities seem so important to these people, I want to hope theirs' are okay.

[Because the alternative is kidnapped by Cyrus.]

[takestheblame]

Their deity may be deep in those ruins over there. Knowing how our travels are like, we'll meet them in less than a week.

[semistableman]

Or under Cyrus' control.

[It's not a shock which one Bucky is betting on.]

[takestheblame]

Not all deities were captured. The one in Floaroma managed to stay free, this one may be okay too.

[It may be a bit naive, but he's really hoping Cyrus didn't capture everything]

[semistableman]

The one in Floaroma also seemed to be a lesser god, from what I understand. We don't know what kind of gods these are supposed to be.

Cyrus has four of them, I think assuming the worst is smart until we learn otherwise.

[takestheblame]

[Smart and depressing. Oh well. Wouldn't be the first time Kiryu goes against impossible odds]

Then we have to find out what kind of powers the deity here has.

[semistableman]

[Bucky nods.]

Yeah. We need to know what we're up against.
