WEEK 2.

[trustwellness]

WEEK 2 Adelina and Kyrie Ushiromiya are dead. Regardless of how you felt about them and whether or not you mourned their passing, life goes on. It seems the Wordsmith intends to make good on the rules he's left for you all. Saturday is given to regrouping and rest; on Sunday morning the clock chimes as it always has, but at least there are no bodies to find today. It seems you're safe for now. The night before wasn't necessarily a peaceful one, however; you'll probably feel a bit groggy when you wake up, and it seems you've regained something that you didn't realize you'd lost... Either way, it seems there's nothing to do but move on - or, perhaps, move down. Another door in that holding area near the elevator seems to have opened up, leading into a corridor and a stairwell that seems to lead you somewhere beneath the dormitories, and eventually onto a new floor altogether. Go ahead and explore all you like; after all, you did well at completing your lessons this past week. APPRENTICES REMAINING: 28

SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[The dream's kind of in line with what he was going to do before he found himself here: finding Lance.

Thing is, Gold doesn't know why he's with that Gym Leader (Morty, a voice pipes up) to do it. The guy's a psychic, apparently, and while he can clearly remember what that'd guy drawn in mind... Something'd been a little more pressing after he got to see Silver again.

Unmistakably, the legendary Pokémon he'd been tasked to find out more about.

... He also got a hell of a wake up, but that's neither here nor there as the teen gets breakfast and sits down in the dining room with pen and paper to draw Arceus from memory alone, which results in... something that's vaguely like it, but there's details that are wrong or missing; at the very least he's got the shape and the wheel around its body, which is good enough.

Afterwards, once he's regained Polibo from Silver, he can be found in the laundry room soaking his buddy down in a basin and chatting him up.]

And there's a ton of hot chicks here, Polibo, we've pretty much hit the jackpot! The downside is that we're out two of them because they died recently.

[... Okay!! That's sad!!

During the night is actually when Gold's checking out the new rooms... downstairs? by himself. The chemistry room is at least interesting because he can experiment with setting things on fire in an area that's made for it! If you don't think he's not going to put things into beakers and see which one's the coolest you're wrong.]

dining room

[oyashiromama]

[He's not the only one here to eat breakfast, though his drawing...distracts Hanyuu from sitting down. She doesn't mean to peer over his shoulder, but she really is so much more used to watching than interacting still, so--]

That's an interesting drawing.

[uncouthhatcher]

[At least you can kind of tell when someone's watching over your shoulder, so he doesn't startle so much. Even if she's hella quiet.]

Yeah, it's, uh. I dreamed about it. [...] It's a Pokémon too, but it ain't one of mine.

[It had sad eyes. Why, why, why...]

[oyashiromama]

[Thank you for not freaking out why is she like this.]

Hmmm, so this is what one of them looks like... Are they all so...aah, it seems almost ornate.

[uncouthhatcher]

[His best friend is Silver, he's used to quiet staring!]

Well, some are and some aren't! None of mine are really like that.

[Aibo had a different look in his dream, too. Two tails. Huh. He oughta draw that, probably.

... It's still a little unnerving, how strong that Pokémon was in his dream -- how realt hat dream wa,s how it related to what he knew was kinda going on back home--]

It's a powerful Pokémon! At least, it was in my dream! I had a tough time keepin' up with it, and I'm strong.

laundry room

[iamthatsea]

[ Look there's someone being talked to and bathed in the laundry room IS THAT ACTUALLY AN APPROVED USE OF THESE FACILITIES WAS SHE LIED TO- oh Bluemother what the heck. ]

Where... did this little guy come from?

[ HI GOLD SHE THINKS YOUR FROG IS CUTE ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[EVERYONE SHOULD, POLIBO'S ADORABLE. Polibo also thinks Alani is adorable! But he's quiet, hello.]

Silver found him! Well, got him from the vending machine. Pretty messed up that they've got our partners in there, but that just means I've gotta shale that thing down until it spills out the rest of 'em!

[iamthatsea]

So he was just... living in there? How awful!

[ THAT'S HORRIFYING? LOOK AT THAT MACHINE. ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[RIGHT???]

I know, right? But he doesn't seem worse for wear, so I guess it ain't too bad... or I'm right in havin' faith in their Pokéballs for keepin' them safe.

[... Because he is not thanking Smitty for anything??? Nope.]

laundry room

[ravagers]

[ Well... she hears him talking to something, and "Polibo" rings a bell, so! Vanille peeks in, then goes right on over to the basin. ]

Awww, he's even cuter in person! Wow! Hi there, Polibo!

[uncouthhatcher]

[gold, who is--]

This is Vanille! The girl that tried shakin' down the vending machine with me. [oooooh. Polibo'll wave from his basin!] Ain't he just though? Polibo's pretty much my little brother!

[can u tell. look at them. theyre Related.]

[ravagers]

[ She waves back at the frog, then looks from him to his trainer. ]

Hmm, I see the resemblance!

[ what ]

Oh! I wanted to tell you, Judy found something of mine in the vending machine, too! [ She shows the picture of her and a hot lady to Gold. ] That's me and Fang!

[uncouthhatcher]

[kiss them and they become princes-- YOOOO

YOOOOOOOOOOOO]

Holy shit, you were downplayin' her beauty! Damn, I definitely wouldn't mind bein' trapped in here if she was around!

[Polibo thinks she looks very nice, yes.]

She looks real reliable, too -- bet she'd find some way to make Smitty talk.

chemistry room

[firstaid]

[Estelle's doing some searching around on the new floor and finds the chemistry room. It feels familiar, as in it reminds her of one of her dear friends. While the beakers and such may be unfamiliar, that feeling of... science... well that's all she really needs.

And then there's Gold...]

Um, what are you doing?

[Yes, she gets the feeling he's haphazardly putting stuff together.]

[uncouthhatcher]

Oh, hey Estelle! I'm just experimenting. I've never seen any of these things before, so I figure I'd play around!

[... See if he can make anything come out of the depths of hell, maybe, though chances are he'll just end up with either really useless stuff or something that could kill him.]

[firstaid]

Neither have I, but I'm not sure if it's safe to be playing around with them like that.

[She does wonder if she should stop him before a potential explosion happens.]

laundry room

[iaspis]

[Like usual, Jasper doesn't actually need to wash clothes, but hearing Gold talk to someone in the room catches her attention, and she walks into the doorway to see him... bathing some sort of giant frog??

Where the hell did that come from.]

What is that?

[jasper that's rude]

[uncouthhatcher]

His name's Polibo and he's one of the Pokémon a few of us keep talkin' about now and then.

[.... is this the rock lady

she does in fact look like a rock

is she weak to water--]

You wanna pet him?

[iaspis]

[....Well. It does look like a friendly thing.]

Okay.

[If she's weak to water or not, it doesn't look like that's going to stop her from reaching out a hand to pet Polibo.

Her hand may be massive, but it looks like she's trying to be gentle.]

laundry room

[quadruples]

[ Viktor hears the word "polibo" which immediately catches his attention and urges him to step inside the laundry room, eyes glittering with excitement when he sees the Pokémon. ]

He's so cute~ Your drawing didn't do him justice at all.

[uncouthhatcher]

Now that's mean, dude! But ain't he?

[Polibo will nod his thanks! Thank you... oddly pretty man. That's what Gold described Viktor as.]

I've been catchin' him up on what's goin' on here, and both of us kinda wanna battle that shadowy thing that ate the crazy lady at the trial. Seems like some kinda Pokémon to me.

[quadruples]

[ Is the frog going to develop a crush on Viktor... ]

Are you sure battling it is a good idea?

chemistry room

[acherontiastyx]

[...okay he really intended to talk to Gold about something serious and important but holy shit]

...is that supposed to be turning that color?

[uncouthhatcher]

Honestly, I have no idea, but it's pretty damn cool, right?

[look at this, guzma. who the fuck knows if this is a good color but it sure is cool!!]

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah... I thought science was kind of boring in school, but actually it kind of rules? Then again, they just made us do math and stuff about how effective attacks would be and how much they'd hit for or whatever, which was the worst.
