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

[OOC: Welcome to week two of Trustfell! 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 to save those threads for coins and the activity check!

If you'd like to get in contact with the Wordsmith, you can do so through letters or the switchboard!]

I see.

[She really doesn't. That sure is a lot of words she doesn't really understand, but he's friendly enough.]

What are Pokemon like?

[That's probably too general of a question, but]

[uncouthhatcher]

[It's a seriously general question, and Gold shrugs; despite that, though, he's got nothing but affection about this.]

There's as many kinds of Pokémon as there are people in the world. Hell, even the group we've got here is a pretty good example! And that ain't even gettin' into the kinds of personalities they've got, man, and the kinda stories people've come up about them through the years. You still want me to try to tell you what they're like?

[iaspis]

They are companions in your world?

[She's a sentient rock; intelligent creatures aren't something she's going to question. In fact, she thinks they're pretty cool!]

[uncouthhatcher]

[guess she doesn't just have stones between her ears]

Bingo! We live with 'em and beside 'em, as equals, family, partners... Everyone's got their own take on it, but it comes down to that we can't live without them, and they can't live without us. We've gotten too used to each other.

[iaspis]

That sounds very interesting.

It's different, from the lifeforms on Earth. [unless he's also from Earth, in which case] The one I've been to.

I don't know if humans keep companion animals there.

[uncouthhatcher]

[A kind of Earth... a better Earth tbh.]

If they're worth their salt, they've gotta. Even if it's something that's not like a Pokémon, just an animal.

[...]

That doesn't talk, wear clothes, or hold a payin' job.

[iaspis]

[...............]

They can talk?

[THAT'S SO COOL]

[uncouthhatcher]

[OH NO HE'S MADE A MISTAKE

... HE SHOULDN'T HAVE PUT POKEMON IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS THEIR TALKING, CLOTHING-WEARING, JOB-HOLDING ANIMALS, THIS WAS HIS MISTAKE FOR NOT CLARIFYING FURTHER.]

Some of 'em! [not a lie.] There's even ones you can train to speak, though it... comes more naturally to some more than others?

[Yeah.]

Polibo here can't, though. He's pretty quiet anyway.
