[Good job, Lanque, you've startled him into swearing in front of you.]
No, no, I think you're right. I think you're right about what the fuck is going on and it's all complete bullshit. Holy fucking *shit*.
I know it's not going to mean anything to you, but I am goddamn appalled at the wasted lives. Pun (mostly) not intended.
[Fuck. Fuck. He's invested now in the little shit, isn't he? Jesus.]
In that case, yeah, I really can't blame you for not wanting to do more than what gets you the most benefit for the least work. Holy shit, this has to be the first prolonged breath of freedom you've had in your goddamn *life*.
Do you enjoy recreational substances? Because I know where you can get them, such as they exist in this world. And there's a bit of a club scene downtown, but you probably won't be able to get to it until your week of training is over, but that's basically tomorrow.
The good thing is, as long as you turn in your quota and you haven't been assigned to any mandatory missions like the one we just finished, your time is literally your own. I'd advocate building a decent pokemon team and battling for money if you want any cash past your stipend--although the admins do give cash bonuses for pokemon leveled past 30 when you turn them in. It's something like P3000, I think, and it jumps up by P1000 every ten levels past that. Especially rare pokemon will get you free single use TMs, which are also very useful.
Challenging Gyms is also lucrative in its way. The absolute minimum you'd get in prize money is P10000 for any given gym and if you beat all the gyms in either Johto or Kanto and then fight and beat Blue or Clair's elite team respectively, you can also win a reusable ticket for a three week cruise on the S.S. Anne, which I think is damn well worth the trouble. (Just be sure to steal a Pokemon or two to hand in when you return.)
[Hm. If Steven were eighteen or thereabouts again and he was in Lanque's position, there would definitely be something he'd want to know about. (He takes a moment to congratulate himself on doing one of Hythlo's Practicing Empathy Exercises without even planning to.)]
Right. So. One more piece of advice, completely unrelated to the Team: unless you happen to be a virgin or are particularly interested in an actual relationship (which was *not* the impression I had of you) or not at all interested in sex (again *not* the impression I had of you) get on Gravlr and/or Fletchindr once you're done training. Those are pokegear apps that will help you find people who want to hook up for casual sex. Gravlr matches men with other men, Fletchindr matches men to women.
And wear a condom for God's sake. And make sure your male partners and/or female partners with male junk wear them too.
