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.

[It's a good thing that Natto is distracted by playing, because it gives Atsushi a chance- wherever he is- to catch up to her. While Emmeryn watches the Pokemon play, she might hear the boy calling out for her a ways away, to which the Stunky seems perfectly content to ignore.]

[hhhhuh. that doesn't sound great.

before she goes and makes an ass of herself yelling across the city, though, Emmeryn crouches a little to get Natto's attention while she's likely preoccupied with Duma just sort of allowing her to do what he wants with his entire orb self.]

Natto? Is that your name, love, Natto?

[skunks basically work like dogs probably? she'll respond if that sounds familiar???]

[gekkaju]

[Almost immediately upon the name being said, the Stunky looks up at Emmeryn, as if shocked to hear her name coming from someone she doesn't know. Seems like her guess was correct. She was in the middle of trying to climb up onto Duma's back, looks like.]

[divinedescendant]

[Duma has gone impressively still, because the last time a tiny furry thing crawled up onto his back it ended with him stuck with his limbs in the air like a goddamn turtle and he is not doing that shit again—but Emmeryn just scratches Natto under the chin fondly before she stands back up.]

Atsushi! [She cups one hand around her mouth and holds up the other to wave him over. Come collect your dumb skunk!!]

[gekkaju]

[Atsushi looks over when he hears Emmeryn call out for him, and what does he see?]

Natto!

[He comes rushing over, looking more frustrated now than frantic, but also clearly relieved that she didn't get lost in the woods or something.]

What are you doing over here? I've been looking for you everywhere, I know you heard me calling...I hope she wasn't causing you guys trouble, Emmeryn.

[divinedescendant]

Oh, no, not at all. She was having a wonderful time playing with Duma, and she is such a sweet little thing.

[How wonderful Duma's time was is debatable, but he does squawk a little, the noise muffled from inside his shell, when he hears his name, and it isn't even a wailing cry for help.]

I am glad we could keep her busy for you before she could get too far.

[gekkaju]

[Sweet, huh...that has Atsushi raising an eyebrow, but he decides not to question it as he plucks Natto off of Duma's back, holding her like a sack of potatoes in his arms. She squirms a little, not ready to be taken away from her playmate just yet.]

She's been...really wily today, more than normal. I don't know what's gotten into her.
