Week 2.
WEEK 2. The new week begins with new surroundings. The city you've been growing accustomed to over the past week is now well behind you as you set out on your journey proper; the terrain still seems rocky and steep here as you move downhill and to the south, dotted here and there with small ponds to the east and rocky outcroppings that you can climb on to the west. There are also large expanses of tall grass here, and the entire route is flanked with tall trees leading off into the forest a short ways. You're more than welcome to explore; just don't stray too far from the group - you wouldn't want to be left behind out here, for any reason. Wild Pokémon are abundant here, as anyone venturing into the tall grass will discover; they aren't inclined to attack you, however, simply watching with dull, dead eyes as you stumble through the area they've come to call home. The trip is difficult, and it's a lot of walking, but it's not unmanageable; fortunately enough, the route you're on should lead you directly to Valor Lakefront, assuming there are no complications along the way. From Thursday and beyond, the route takes a sharp turn west; in front of you lies what's clearly the ocean, large rocks jutting out just offshore tempering the waves. It's safe to go in the water if you so choose - assuming you can swim, that is - and the forested terrain has given way to a large beach with patches of tall grass here and there. Interestingly, there's a house located on the beach; whether it's inhabited or not is difficult to tell. Of course, exploring slightly north of the beach will reveal a path. Maybe it leads somewhere important... POKEMON AVAILABLE: NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week two of Azume; 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 that a write-up is due next weekend!] |

Were you able to best her or this Chaos?

I'm pretty sure she died. I wasn't there, but I heard she was shot while she was standing on top of someplace high up and she...fell, I guess. If getting shot didn't kill her, she probably broke her neck when she hit the ground.
Chaos...I was there for that one, and I saw it, but my job was to protect someone else. To get her out of there alive, because she had something on her that was needed to save the world. We left two people behind to fight it, knowing they were probably going to die trying to defeat it.
They managed to kill Chaos, and one of 'em made it out alive. The other didn't.

She works out her own response slowly as well. And when she does, she does so crossing her arms at her waist. ]
Thank you for telling me, Jake. [ A pause, and... no, she should clarify that- ] ... I can better understand your weariness now, I believe.
[ "weariness" or "let's kill dudes before they are a problem" but hey, whatevs. ]
... And I do offer my condolences for your friend.

I mean, I kind of would have preferred it if they both made it, yeah. But it was their choice to stay, both of them, they did it so we could get out. Someone had to fight it.

... Regardless of what must have been done, to survive where others did not is a terrible weight to bare.
no subject
Yeah. It is.
[From the sound of it, this isn't the first time for him.]

It's a lot, really.
She just sort of watches the dawn as she lets her mind process it ]
