[Cecil can seen, standing in the middle of a Pokémart. A Pokémart that is not Violet's. He's supposed to be in Violet. Why isn't he in Violet?]

Mahogany has what is quite possibly the worst selection of souvenirs I've even seen, and that includes the one time when Palom wanted me to choose between a pig and a toad who turned out to be his classmates.

[Why is he in Mahogany? Well, obviously for the badge. How did he even get there? You'd be surprised by the flying speed of a Dragonite. When did he get there? ...Really, really surprised.]

Rosa, Rydia, Kain. Would you rather receive a candy bar, a postcard, or a pair of Magikarp-shaped earrings? Or a fishing rod. They seem to love their fishing rods.

[He starts looking around with little interest in his eyes.]

I'd offer to bring back dinner instead, but by the time I return to Violet it'll certainly be cold. Please don't wait for me if I take too long.

... Okay, now I'm curious about that. What's the story of the pig and the toad?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Palom is a magical prodigy, specialized in black magic. He also enjoys practical jokes. Two of the spells he knows are named Pig and Toad. I've no doubt you can see where this is going.

Oh, I can, but enlighten me anyway! I like stories.

It turned out that those particular boys had been teasing Porom, Palom's twin sister. And for all that those two argue, let it not be said that they care nothing for each other. Thus, he decided to give them more... compact forms, and was hoping I'd take the proof back to Baron.

That does sound pretty lackluster...

You're headed back to Violet though?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Of course. I'll be back tonight; I did not use Kayne against Pryce to be certain he'd be up for it.

How can you move that quick?

*Hayate looks as if he's been spending a good deal of the day flying himself, as his hair is suffering from some serious wind whiplash when he replies*

-- I didn't know you were a souvenir buff, Cecil-san.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I'm not, but I left Violet without a word at about four in the morning. Those souvenirs might save me from some painful injuries or upset looks.

[video]

[combat_butler]

... injuries? Really?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

What kinda souvenirs does Mahogany have?

[video]

[paladinlost]

[Grabs something to the side. Returns with a Magikarp-shaped keychain and a pair of Gyarados-shaped slippers.]

They have a rather limited selection, as you can see.

[FLINCHES and edges away from the screen]

Pass, pass! I'll pass!

[thebelsareinert]

... You have something against candy bars?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Not exactly, but they are far from the most interesting gift to receive.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

Fair enough. Not the worst thing in the world, even so.

...I don't need anything, Cecil.

[ She's....frowning. You made her worry when you disappeared like that sdfskfsfhasdf

also I hope you don't mind the like five frantic messages she left you, trying to figure out if you were hurt or dead or kidnapped or something ]

[ video ]

[paladinlost]

...Even if you did, I truly doubt I could find it here, to be honest.

[Sorryyyyy, honey! D: At least he has the decency to look like he feels bad about it?

He only saw those right before he posted, sadly, but they are now kept in the Gear's memory forever.]

[ video ]

[gentleblossom.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sound like the best selection of items. You...are all right, though?

[ She's not so much angry as she is a little hurt, but she'll take him being okay over being missing any day. ]

video.

[reveiller]

Ah, what sort of postcards do they have?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Around five pictures of the lake, an off-center shot of Mt. Mortar, and a surprisingly nice view of that small parcel of land on the way to Ecruteak. They've nothing but landscapes.

[video]

[reveiller]

Well, as far as I can remember, it's rather beautiful up there. It's their selling point, really, apart from the Magikarps.

[Video] Argh, why did I not see this?

[delusorydragoon.livejournal.com]

I've actually been meaning to get a fishing rod at some point.

[He's wanted to get in on that raging water dragon action since Squall first called out Seifer.]

When do you plan to go to Blackthorn? I was hoping to watch that battle, if only to have an idea how tough Clair is.

[Video] Someone cast Vanish on it?

[paladinlost]

I can bring you one, then. These look sturdier than what I've bought in Cherrygrove.

[And then never used. Details.]

Not today, or even within the week, I'm afraid. We've been invited to a house-building activity, and I'd rather not miss it.

[Video] More like I just fail, really.

[delusorydragoon.livejournal.com]

I thank you.

[Pffft. It's not like Cecil can't spare the money.]

Ah. No matter. I don't mind waiting. It isn't as if there's a time limit.

[Wait a second.]

Did you just say "we?"
