TEST 8.

[azumods]

FLOW. The feeling of pressure in here is immense. It's stronger than it was with Darkrai, something you can feel down to your core, something that you couldn't shake off even if you tried; there's nothing to do but power through it. Saturn, for his part, either isn't feeling it at all or is incapable of reacting in any sort of appropriate way even if he could; he simply continues to regard you from across the room, his words hanging heavy in the room. It's a far cry from his behavior during the first month you were here; he was civil then, willing to do you favors in exchange for the chance to talk to you. It's plain that he will be doing no such thing today; it may be difficult to know where to start, really. Especially when your Pokémon don't seem to be doing well - whatever's happening here, they seem reluctant, even unwilling, to fight anything in this room. Perhaps it's not surprising; the energy in the room is likely familiar to them, and it's the sort associated with someone deciding to take their spirit away last time it was angered. Whatever the reason, you're on your own for now; whatever happens is your choice, and yours alone.

...Why d'you think we don't care about you? I mean, yeah, you're our enemy, we're trying to save the world by putting it back the way it was and you're trying to save the world by doing not that. But people wouldn't be wanting you to be okay and happy and having friendship and feelings and stuff if they didn't care.

[azumods]

I think most of you don't want me on your conscience.

There's a difference.

[semistableman]

I do care about your well-being.

[azumods]

You're wasting it, and I don't need it besides.

[discutio]

Too godsdamned bad, if you’ll pardon the lack of decorum. You need it more than you know.

[niceoppai]

You're actin' like we never had enemies before you. Look, maybe we don't want you to die because that's bad overall for anyone, yeah. But it doesn't mean you're this terrible person. I mean, even Camilla, she's great but she does want to beat all our enemies up, but she gets that most of us care about you, y'know, specifically. Besides, even people ten times worse'n you are sometimes still just need something to change for 'em, so why wouldn't we think the same about you?

[azumods]

[...You know, he is not at all surprised to hear that Camilla just really, really wants to beat people up? But that is beside the point- ]

You're wasting the attempt, if you're trying to get something to change for me. This is what I want.

[niceoppai]

'Cept you had to go an' get him to make you not not want it.

[anythingforyou]

[...On one hand, Camilla kind of wants to vocally agree, but on the other, she kind of just got done getting pissed at him for not being enough of their enemy...

Still, she'll at least nod in agreement; the majority of this ragtag group does care, after all.]
