+
+  I finally made it to the Isle of Armor!
+  Bit of a strange sequence of events upon my arrival :—
+
+  - In the station there was a guy evidently looking to join the dojo
+      on the island—except he’s averse to weirdos and there’s one
+      hanging around outside.
+    I immediately don’t think he’s dojo material, and weirdo evidently
+      agrees, as he mistakes me for the new member and pays the other
+      guy no mind.
+
+  - Weirdo (Avery) turns out to be the same guy who was super into the
+      Slowpoke back at the station—turns out he already is training
+      one, which explains why he didn’t catch it back then.
+    I find this out because he challenges me to a battle—he doesn’t
+      seem to remember me from the station.
+    I’m not big on battling, but I want to get a sense of his strength,
+      and it turns out he is pretty green.
+
+  - After we win the battle, Sobble evolves into Drizzile, and it seems
+      pretty interested in the idea of dojo training.
+    The guy whose place I stole seems fine with it—he evidently has
+      second thoughts about training on a remote island with the likes
+      of Avery.
+    I don’t get it—the guy’s bark is waaaayy worse than his bite.
+
+  - The dojo accepts me as a new member even thô I’m _not_ who they
+      were expecting.
+    We’re immediately set on a task of chasing down some quick
+      Slowpoke, which my experience running down pokémon for the lab
+      evidently prepared me well for.
+    Then we’re given another task of mushroom foraging, and the dojo
+      instructor evidently likes me because he tells me just where to
+      find them.
+    It’s mushroom soup for dinner.
+
+In all this I forgot to release the Slowpoke, although I suppose
+  there’s no rush.
+As a reward for the first trial I was offered the opportunity to raise
+  a Squirtle or Bulbasaur—it’s not often you find those in Galar and
+  these have the Gigantamax factor.
+I agreed and went with Bulbasaur.
+
+: [2023-09-01]{as=time}
+
+As Avery and I performed the best in the dojo trials, we’ve been asked
+  to compete for the top spot in a pokémon battle at the end of the
+  month.
+I’ve never had difficulty taking on Avery before, but I admit that
+  battling isn’t my strong suit.
+In the meantime I’ve been familiarizing myself with the local ecology
+  and running down Diglett which have escaped a trainer from Alola.
+Bulbasaur evolved into Ivysaur after not much time together, but
+  Venusaur is likely still a ways out.
+
+I’ve decided to keep Slowpoke in my party for now.
+I may still release it after my battle with Avery, but for the time
+  being a larger party is better, and we’ve developed at least a little
+  rapport.

+
+    - My preference would be for “real-world” or both.
+      Or at least to having some clear marker of different updates.
+      Just a HR between updates would also work fine.
+      btw do you have thoughts on how (if) you would like other peeps
+        to comment on the events?
+      iiii fiured this would be okay in this case given your asking a
+        question hehe
+      [][@:Rinna]{.sig}
+
+      - Yeah I definitely agree and think the only advantage to
+          in‐universe dates is if other people were also R·P·ing and
+          wanted to like, co·ordinate timeline.
+        And it’s more that like, “canonically” (wiki page forthcoming
+          eventually) _Sword & Shield_{as=cite} take place in like,
+          Summer 2019 and not late summer or early fall in 2023.
+
+        Commenting on the events is fine!
+        Just be sure to like, make it clear that it is a comment (sign
+          it, ⁊·c) so that it doesn’t get confusing to read.
+        I think there’s a feature request for using lists as threading?
+          but even without additional styling I think adding a bulleted
+          list of signed comments after each update could work.
+
+        For in‐character R·P stuff we could also add like a
+          `Hongye94/Talk` page or whatever, i suppose.
