Week 3.
WEEK 3 The past weekend has given people a lot to take in, and a lot to think about. You're permitted to stay at the resort all day on Sunday, should you so choose; relax and replenish yourselves with regards to sleep at least, seeing as it's much more comfortable than the routes or sleeping on the floor of the Pokémon Center. Commander Saturn is gone as of last night, and no one seems to be coming after you - though there is likely something you'll be aware of by the end of the day... Whatever happens, it's evident that you'll have to leave this place eventually, and Monday should find everyone back on Route 213. It's been repeatedly recommended to move toward Pastoria City; whether you believe the source of said urging to be trustworthy or not, it's still a good idea to move in that direction - a city means supplies, after all, a place to restock and spend a few days. Everyone should be able to find Pastoria City by Tuesday afternoon; it's another unfamiliar place, with various things to see and look at over the course of the next few days. It's far smaller than Veilstone, but it borders up to the ocean by way of a small jetty on the southeastern side of town with a few boats moored to it. Otherwise, it's surrounded by forest, and the main path winds its way lazily through town, weaving between personal residences and a few places of business. Of course, it's still not nearly as lively as it should be; the inhabitants here all seem as devoid of spirit as everywhere else; fortunately, a select few of your companions do seem to be perking up a bit - perhaps that's a good sign, in the end. POKEMON AVAILABLE: IN CITIES / NEAR WATER SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week three 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 this weekend!] |

If I could, I would've kept what I did from them. They might eventually understand what I was thinking, but it's not the sort of thing I want to force on them, you know? They're good people. They want to believe that there are ways to help everyone.

Again, I get that I'm a mercenary. I'm probably not the guy you want moral advice from. But where I'm from, there are ways to punish guys like that, sure. But they take a long-ass time, they aren't all that great at actually punishing the guys in power at all, and there's a good chance a lot more people are going to die as a result because now they've been slapped on the wrist and they're pissed about it.
It's numbers. One guy against however many he killed. It isn't hard.

[It's going to be difficult for them. They're going to hate it.]
I'm going to keep doing what I can to help people once I get home. There are a lot of people like those guys out there, and someone's gotta make sure they're taken care of.

You can't save everyone, either.

Yeah, I know. I can't help but want to try, though. If I can help, I want to. If I can't, it just makes me want to get stronger.

It's definitely a lesson I could take to heart. One time I sliced my arm open to prove a point, so setting myself on fire isn't all that much of a stretch.
