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

[Gold's a man who likes to flirt but it never gets anywhere, wonder why.]

Maybe? Wouldn't be surprised, I guess, but your guess is as good as mine. It seems kinda silly that we'd be the only planet with Pokémon on it though!

[on another planet pokemon have jobs and talk and go on amazing world-saving adventures an have their hearts broken by their somehow-human amensiac friend]

[iamthatsea]

[ what the fuck is mystery dungeon ]

Yeah, definitely. There's a lot of life in the universe when you're from! Take it from a space girl.

[uncouthhatcher]

[the thing i regret getting into most]

So what other kinda things do you have on your planet anyway? Are your monks, uh... what half of you is?

[iamthatsea]

Nope, they're different aquatic species. I already told you about the Roa, but there are others too. There... aren't a lot of Helicians left in general.

[ Her smile dims a little. ]

Gold, can I ask you something?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Roa, different aquatic species, Helicians, humans... That's quite a number.

... The dimming of her smile catches his attention, though, and he glances at Polibo, who's sat up to listen by now, before looking back at her.]

Yeah, sure. What's up?

[iamthatsea]

[ She bites her lip a little. ]

Last night... did you have any weird dreams?

[uncouthhatcher]

[Ah.

He sits cross-legged, leaning to splash more water on Polibo and rub him down with a cloth.]

I would've called it normal if it was about anything else, but yeah, I did. Kind of a continuation of something I was followin' up before I found myself here. [... Aibo with a new tail, powerful Pokémon wrecking a Gym...] Guessin' you had one too?

[iamthatsea]

Yes, I did. It... wasn't very happy. [ She's good at moving on from things, but... ] Do you think they're real?

[uncouthhatcher]

It felt pretty real, but I'd have to see another of my partners to be sure.

[So fifty-fifty.]

[iamthatsea]

Mm. Mine felt real too, but... I don't like what it means if it was.

[uncouthhatcher]

[He's quiet himself, rubbing Polibo.]

... Yeah, I know what you mean. Can't say I'm too excited about what happened in mine either. [...] Wanna talk about it?

[iamthatsea]

It... I left home, to fight in a war. To put it simply.

[uncouthhatcher]

[... War isn't really a thing in Gold's world anymore, hasn't been in a while as far as he knows, so he frowns.]

Why? What the hell're you fightin' a war for?

[iamthatsea]

To... fight someone who wants to destroy the whole universe. It's kind of a big deal, I just... don't know why out of my whole planet I was the only one to go.

[ She has an idea.

She really doesn't like the idea, but it's there. ]

[uncouthhatcher]

[Oh.

... That's pretty. Yeah. But also:]

Man, that actually sounds pretty awesome! Bein' the only one that goes to do something like that, out of everyone?

[Gold loves that kind of thing; you get the most attention, the most recognition, there's no one else to look at -- just you. The frown's flipped back to a grin and he leans back on his hands, Polibo giving her a pitying look.]

War's nothin' we gotta worry about anymore, but it ain't that bad, yeah? Especially against someone that strong? Dude, I'd kill for that sorta chance!

[...]

Not literally, 'course, but you get what I mean.

[iamthatsea]

[ His enthusiasm at least gets a weird kind of quiet smile from Alani. ]

I wish I felt the same. We're not very war-minded at the monastery.

[uncouthhatcher]

But you know how to fight, right? Even if you're a monk.

[Going off to war more than implies that, after all.]

[iamthatsea]

I do. There are ways to fight with my powers. Heck, I could probably break us out of here with a cup of water if they were still working. And hey, I may not look it, but I throw a mean punch.

[uncouthhatcher]

Oh, no way, that is cool! You and Polibo are pretty similar then, he uses water to fight too! Or he did, but he's just a big frog here.

[Polibo is pleased!! He can't use his powers here, yeah, but he's pleased to have something in common with Alani, and he'll take some of the water in his mouth to spit playfully at her.]

[iamthatsea]

[ she giggles, it's hard to be sad about war when a cute frog is being cute ]

Cool! Being big and amphibious and without water powers isn't too bad, though.

[uncouthhatcher]

[!!! Polibo made her giggle, his mission in life is complete, he can return to being pleased in his basin.]

Right? There's still plenty this guy can do, I've just gotta teach him to throw punches like the best of 'em and get his strength up some more.

[training montage sometime this week will be great]

--Actually, hey, maybe you can give him a few tips, if you've got such a good arm!
