[ a soft huff of agreement. civilians not being in warzones is something roy will always fiercely agree with, but sometimes, it just isn't an option. especially in this idiotic hellhole. ]

The Temple also strips us of any abilities that don't seem to mesh with it, which also complicates matters. I don't doubt that many of us have natural gifts that would have suited Akvos well.

[ not that roy would have been able to really use flame alchemy in akvos, but he could have used the truth. if he wanted, anyway. ]

The fighting arena has some older weapons available for use, but nothing of great consequence unless we seek to properly arm people. I have some weaponry I took from Akvos and El Minha, but not a great deal. We can only carry so much on our person before we're yanked back to this stupid place.
