[ Week 17, Day 1 | Video ]
[ Peter is angry, eyes dark and flashing as he comes on screen, looking furious as he addresses the camera. His hair has been growing in the time that he's gotten here, and it isn't quite long enough to fall over his eyes just yet. A deep furrow is drawn between his eyebrows

[ Blunt. That simple. ]
Peter, you should look at... [ He fiddles for a moment, then sends Roy's message. ] -this. I think he's right.

[ But enough's been said there by others he gets the feeling nothing is going to happen now regrading this... ]
But I think we need to do something in the meantime. I'm going to go to Yomisato and look.
[ ...Not that he knows what to do when he's there. But it's a start. ]

'At noon in the Iron District'... ]
Is there someone we could speak to?

Where is the Iron District? If we could negotiate with the people there, maybe it would buy some time.
[ Until they do have a better plan.
He wonders how many of those auctions have already taken place before this one. ]

[ Peter's starting to realizing that maybe making this post wasn't entirely a good idea until he had more information; but it was a knee-jerk response to what he was reading and he felt like he just had to do something. Anything. ]
I think what a lot of people are saying is right, though. We can't just go storming in there without having a better idea of what we're up against.

I'm in agreement.
[ And she is, wholeheartedly. But she's seen things almost exactly like this before. Racism and prejudice as an excuse to alienate, fear, and dehumanize. And, reaching an extreme, even to exterminate. ]
I also agree that whatever we do, we must be cautious. We don't want to make things worse than they are by moving recklessly.
[ Because she knows exactly how terrible that can become from personal experience. ]

Did you have any thoughts as to what to do about this situation once a group is assembled?

Otherwise, you end up with unpleasantness all around. ]
Amateur is as amateur does, I suppose.

Do you have anything helpful to offer, or are you just trying to waste my time?

Do you have a plan?
[Yamamoto is not a stranger to people being sold like property. There are a lot of things in the mafia that pretty much is also present in Kannagara. The mafia's sins. And maybe it's a little strange for Yamamoto to be almost impartial to it, or maybe he's just so used to it to know that a strong enraged reaction like this is what always sets things in motion.
It surely was like that. Back then. With Tsuna's will…
Yamamoto's will, even.]

No. Not yet. I was hoping that I could get together with people who support this cause and make a plan, though.

Rescuing a handful of these victims would be useless and a waste of time and resources. These kind of things always run on some sort standard or pattern. Either they're run individually or by a group. Either way, they are catering to a demand that is present in Kannagara. Getting rid of the business men or dealers is your best course of action. You will likely need to undergo a lot of research, questioning, push comes to pull, perhaps even infiltrating the market yourself. You'll need resources in big amounts, you know, understand the game, so to speak. Then taking it down would be easy.
[A beat.]
That's not going to erase the demand. If there is a demand, there will always be victims.
[A pause and the piercing gaze is broken once more with a blink.]
What do you think?

[ Peter doesn't even hesitate with his answer. He realizes that Yamamoto understands the intricacies of what's going on far better than he does -- and really, he needed to hear this, needed perspective. He's still angry, but the anger is a quiet and reigned in, more focused than it was before. ]
So, uh, how do you think we should go about with this?
