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!] |

...we'll have to agree to disagree.
[She could argue her point - it's tempting - but as much as she felt for Saturn, she's not about to risk her friendship with Jake on his behalf. It's far too important.]
I suppose that means I can expect you by my side, when I challenge him?
no subject
[It's not even a question, as far as he's concerned.]
I don't tend to argue a lot over reasons why; I guess I've gotten used to it not really mattering. If someone's on your side, then who cares why; them being there could be the difference that saves your ass.
You want to save him, or what?
no subject
[That silence returns again, but to Rey, it doesn't feel awkward - there's something about Jake that just makes it feel comfortable.]
We'll have to defeat him regardless to get to Cyrus, but...I don't know. I like the idea of bringing him back into the light.
[It's an odd turn of phrase, but Rey doesn't seem to register it as being so; her eyes have grown slightly glassy, as if she's fallen into a memory that doesn't appear to be all that good.]
There was someone back home who I...tried to do that for, but it didn't work. I'd like to think I could succeed just once.
no subject
That said, though, he'll listen to it, at least; it's kind of weird phrasing, yeah, but he gets the point. That said, though- ]
So you've got personal reasons. And I've got personal reasons, and I can tell right now that my reasons are not gonna play nice with your reasons.
[So. Agree to disagree, sure.]
no subject
Does that matter if, at the end of the day, we both want the same thing?
no subject
[So there's that.]
As long as we both acknowledge that at the end of the day I really like being alive, and nothing's done to jeopardize that? You can have all the reasons you want.
