Week 14.
WEEK 14 Sunday is a rough day all around; it's for the best that you remain where you are for the day, for the sake of regrouping and recovering, and perhaps getting some sleep - assuming that any will come. However, as difficult though it may be (and as futile though it may seem) Monday is likely best seen as a day to depart - a day to start to take whatever actions can still be taken, and to assess where to go from here. A good place to start is Canalave City; it's where you were going to meet with Cynthia, and where you were planning on looking into the legends of Sinnoh. The city itself is beautiful, a massive port town split down the center by a large canal system filled with boats and clear water leading out to sea; however, the recent changes to the world have affected this place as well, perhaps making it a bit difficult to enjoy the city in its entirety. However, the library is here, as are several other points of interest; as difficult though it may be to see the world like this, the trip here will hopefully be worth your while in the end... POKEMON AVAILABLE: WITHIN CITIES SURROUNDING ROUTES: PLAINS/FOREST / NEAR WATER MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY | FRIDAY [OOC: Welcome to week fourteen of Azume; feel free to make as many top levels as you'd like and tag out to other characters!

I kinda miss Jupiter. At least I can get doing this sort of stuff just for the hell of it. I have no idea what I'm supposed to think of Cyrus.
no subject
I miss Saturn. At least he gave us free food, instead of ending the world.
[...is it bad to joke about this? It's. it's probably pretty bad
but god, it feels nice to actually laugh.]
no subject
[It gets him to laugh, though, despite himself.]
Back when our biggest problem was the guy who fed us and paid for us to stay at a goddamn resort for a few days.
no subject
[Haha, this is nice.
...
god, our lives suck.]
...I still dwell on how insistent Cynthia was that we don't harm him. I don't know how many people in our group will want to follow through with that, after...everything.
But I think I understand why she said that.
no subject
[...Anyway.]
I'm interested in your thoughts on it, though. About why we shouldn't.
no subject
I'm not saying we shouldn't kill him if we get the chance, regardless of what Cynthia said. I think, after what we just experienced, he's irredeemable. Especially if he's going to pose a risk to our worlds. It's more...
[...how to...put her feelings into words, properly...]
...I get the sense that he's suffered, that's all. That he's a product of his environment, not inherently evil, and he genuinely believes he's helping people. I think Cynthia can see that.
I don't know, it just...makes me sad. I wish we knew what happened to make him that way. Maybe he could have been a powerful force for the light, if things were different.
[...alright, now she might be projecting a bit. But the point stands.]
no subject
[It's not harsh, but it's blunt.]
Maybe he's suffered, sure. But I've suffered, and you've suffered, and we're not out here trying to end the world. Pain's not a goddamn reason for sympathy.
no subject
I know, Jake. That's why I don't think we should hesitate if we encounter him again and we have the chance to kill him.
[....]
I suppose we can both agreed that he needs to be put out of his misery, for whatever reason. The only question is how.
no subject
no subject
I may have been a little naive.
[There were...a lot of books. A lot of books.]
It would probably be faster if we could ask the Lake Guardians; they obviously like us, so maybe they've recovered enough to help us with Cyrus.
no subject
no subject
[....ugh.]
So where does that leave us, then? Before we'd met him, I still had confidence that we could put up a decent fight, but now...
[....]
...I just feel...helpless. I want to do something, but...I don't know what. Do you feel this way....?
no subject
...I don't know. I haven't really been feeling all there since this happened; it'll sort itself out eventually, but right now I don't have a whole lot to tell you.
no subject
...]
...sorry. I'm just so unused to doing nothing, but...maybe it's for the best, for the time being. I think we deserve some time to come to terms with what happened.
no subject
[Whether he needs the damn time or not, he doesn't really know. And he doesn't really care? It's complicated.]
no subject
...]
...how are you feeling? If you want to talk about it.
I'll listen.
no subject
[We like the world where it is, can we stop producing zombies everywhere or throwing Uroboros all over it or...whatever the fuck Ada thought she was doing with CHAOS?? Please??]
It's not a great thing to be familiar with, but it's kind of the way things are.
no subject
[...to put it mildly.
...]
...the organization we're fighting back home used to have a...weapon, I suppose you could call it, that could wipe out entire planets. It's destroyed now - thankfully - but the whole concept is awful.
[Sigh.]
Admittedly they never tried to destroy their own worlds...didn't you say the....people in your world tried to destroy their world too?
no subject
[...You know, once in a while it kind of occurs to him that Rey is technically an alien and that is actually pretty cool if you ask him.]
That's insane, though, that people would build something like that in the first place - it doesn't surprise me that they would, but it's kind of a lot to process, you know? Something that could just take out an entire planet in one go.
no subject
...
...that's actually...really quaint, wow.]
I felt the same, once I realized what it was. The weapon was a planet in itself - I actually fought someone in a snowy forest on it, before it started falling apart.
...it's a long story.
[....]
...I suppose it's a bit depressing that we're used to this sort of thing, you know.
no subject
no subject
At least it's something to bond over?
no subject
That's the thing about it that makes me not want to complain about it too much.
[He shrugs.]
I like talking to you. Shitty experiences to bond over aside.
no subject
.....
o-oh, well.]
...I like talking to you, too.
[...
we're cute tbh.]
