WEEK 3

[bathymetric]

Well, the tail end of Week 2 could have gone better. That's the first thing to note.

The second thing is... hang on, should it be Week 3 yet? You've all gone to sleep (or... not, in the case of anyone who doesn't), but when you wake up (and you do all wake up), the calendar and clock on your device informs you that it's Sunday. In-character, all characters explicitly have absolutely no memory of Saturday.

Your sense of time isn't the only thing that's changed - a new branch of the facility has opened and become active overnight, giving you new resources and places to investigate, should you so choose. There's also a new channel on the television, though whether it's an improvement over the last one is questionable.

Otherwise, though, things have mostly settled into normalcy again, or at close to normal as you can find in this place. How long that peace will last, though... that's becoming increasingly uncertain, moving forward.



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 3! Turn in last week's AC over here, and regains remain over this way! And for the sake of consistency, Angel's office hours remain over yonder! ]

[Piers walks in during this, and waits quietly at the entrance. Slade clearly wants to go greet the new Pokemon but stays still when Piers holds up a hand- about all you can ask from a rowdy Pokemon like Obstagoon]

[ladygeryon]

[Finally, Nira finishes with her prayer, before Aria nudges her and she turns to see the duo.]

Ah. Hi, Piers, Slade.

[obstagoodboy]

[he nods a greeting]

I can come back later if you need more time.

[ladygeryon]

It's alright. I was just-worrying, a little. I don't even know if Terrakion or the other Swords can hear me here, in a different world and so deep below the ocean-but praying makes me feel better.

[obstagoodboy]

...praying, huh? Never really done much honoring the Legendaries outside holidays. But... maybe now's the time to start after... ya know.

[Damien]

[ladygeryon]

...maybe. [It's not really proselytizing if someone else expresses interest.] I don't particularly know the Galarian legendaries, though, so I don't know if any of them are actually represented here.

[obstagoodboy]

Might as well check.

[He looks around for a bit, eventually coming to a sword and shield in conflict with a spiral-like design ]

Yep, here they are. It's weird seein' them like this after seeing the real thing.

[ladygeryon]

Oh, you've also met your Legendaries personally? [She sounds a little curious at that. Meanwhile, Jewel waves to Slade, waddling over to get a better look at the giant dark badger.]

[obstagoodboy]

[Now that the humans are distracted, Slade starts flexing his arms and baring his teeth, clearly trying to impress Jewel.]

"Met" is probably too strong. I was just babysitting some brats while they did the whole Hero gig with the ledgends. Doubt they even noticed I was there. You got to meet the Swords face to face? That sounds like a story.

[ladygeryon]

[Jewel has a pure and delicate maiden's heart, and does seem quite impressed by Slade's antics. She leans forward slightly, to get a better look at just how big those muscles are. Aria, sitting a distance away, watches this, but declines to intervene for now.]

Well, not all of them. Just Terrakion, when I was younger. Actually met him in human form first, and impressed him enough with my tenacity to get his blessing. Ended up on a specific mission from him in Kanto to defeat an ancient bug god infesting the Viridian Forest-that's when I met my husband Jake. Got the ability to channel his power even more, too. [Nira's voice is soft at first, but slowly rises as she relives the excitement of that adventure.]

[obstagoodboy]

[They are pretty damn decent muscles, though a lot of his bulk is fur. Oops]

Human form? Huh...

[He's never heard of that being a Thing. But it would explain-]

In the stories, Zamazenta and Zacian were sometimes said to the first kings of Galar. Or worked side by side with them. Wonder if it was like that...

So what, does he just kinda... look out for ya? Or can you use powers like some psychic trainers do?

[ladygeryon]

[Fur is nice too. Does he react if she reaches out to stroke it?]

Ah, yeah, that does make sense. They could have played both roles simultaneously as well, and not revealed the connection to everyone.

[She nods at his second question, and starts to explain.] Well, less psychic and more Rock-connected, I suppose. I can actually use Rock-type moves, along the Swords' signature Sacred Sword move. And I can channel his godly energy for even stronger effects, such as healing or divination.
