[Some days are made for being lazy. AZ is taking advantage of one of those days right now. The giant man is sitting next to the monument, some paper sitting both nearby and on his knee. He has a piece of charcoal in his hand, held carefully so as to not lose it. With great care, he starts sketching on the paper.]

[A few finished sketches sit nearby, depicting the Bastion with people around it. He's good enough that it's not hard to tell who's who, though the features might be smudged a bit. Some are people he's spoken to, but given how quiet and solitary he usually is, most are just of people he's seen.]

[Bother him?]

Comments

[gianthobo]

I've been staying near the animal pens. As long as it doesn't get cold, I'll be fine.

[If it does... well. That's partly a reason why he has Torkal.]

[wayofvoice]

The weather has been well in all the time I have been here. Perhaps that is one more thing the Calamity has set out of balance.

[gianthobo]

How long have you been here?

[For all he knows, this could be spring...]

[wayofvoice]

Not as long as some, but a few months I believe. It is hard to tell in this place on occasion.

[gianthobo]

Ah, that's true. The weather should have changed by now if it was going to change...

[This place is just full of weirdness.]

[wayofvoice]

Perhaps it is different in other places. We cannot know unless we venture out further.

[gianthobo]

Is there much out there? I'll admit, I haven't been out very far. I'm not much of a fighter. My Pokemon are, but I don't want to put them through too much without healing items.

[wayofvoice]

Greh. From the beasts come shards, which are used to add more to this place. There are also larger fragments of this world... wharfs and walls where supplies might be found.

[gianthobo]

... I see. I'd help, but I'm not very good at fighting off things without my Pokemon. Hm.

[... He's also hesitant to learn how to fight. It just doesn't seem like a good idea.]

[wayofvoice]

You are not alone. A town takes many to make it whole. I am certain you will find a place here to put your other skills to work.

[gianthobo]

[He nods. ... Oh right. Introductions.]

... My name is AZ.

[wayofvoice]

I am Paarthurnax.

[Really short name, meet really long name.]
