[A Rising Badge, carefully turned over and over in a man's hand, obviously being inspected from all its angles. This is the image coming from the Cecil-cam, today.]

A year, to the day. That's more than acceptable for the first part of an adventure. Or perhaps I should say that obtaining this last badge is an excellent way to celebrate my first year in this world?

[Cecil's hand finally closes around the badge, and he brings the Pokégear up to look at the sky instead.]

Would anyone know why the professor cal- No, nevermind. It's not important at the moment. Badges and anniversaries should both be celebrated. If anyone in Blackthorn wishes to join me, I'll pay for the meal and drinks.

[At a very nice restaurant, too. Let it not be said that he does not have taste.]

[Lottie applauds, while Cordon the Super Swablu cheers from her shoulder]

Thank you, Charlotte!

[Beaming so, so much.]

My whole team worked quite hard to earn it. I'll have to buy them all a thank-you gift, I believe.

[That's got Lottie thinking]

What c'n y'get Pokémon?

...

Congratulations.

[paladinlost]

Thank you. You're quite close to it yourself, are you not?

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Sort of. Three to go.

[thunderstomach.livejournal.com]

Ah, you managed to get all of the badges? That's pretty impressive!

[paladinlost]

Thank you. It was quite a lot of work, but knowing that it was finally done was more than worth it.

[thunderstomach.livejournal.com]

I can imagine. I'm still working to get my team strong enough to earn our first badge and I've been here a couple of months already.

--ahh!! I... I'm really falling behind here-!! I'm well over a year and still stuck on six...!

Going to Mahogany to earn the Glacier Badge would take you no time, but this one might be trickier.

[combat_butler]

Haaaa... I was supposed to have it by now, but something came up that resulted in me having to delay it...

Congratulations! [Ritz is smiling.] But... a year here? Wow.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Thank you.

[Cecil hasn't stopped smiling since he won it, really.]

I have to admit, I never thought I'd be here so long. I've outlasted most of the people I know, now.

[ action ] just assuming this is okay, i can change it if not!

[ You'd better believe Rosa was there to watch Cecil's triumph, cheering in a slightly unladylike fashion the whole time. And, of course, she comes up to congratulate him afterward.

Smiling brightly: ] That was wonderful, Cecil!

[ action ] ♥~♥~♥

[paladinlost]

[Who cares if it was unladylike? It made Cecil so happy~ The moment he's done with his message, she gets his full attention.]

Thank you! To think that we managed it, after so long... We should all go celebrate. There must be a nice restaurant or two in the city.

[ action ] ♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

I'm sure someone around here must know of a good place to eat....and since we're celebrating your victory, I think I should treat you!

[ She will not take no for an answer. His money has been 'community money' for so long that she wants to do something for him using her own wages. ]

Well, darn. If I was in Blackthorn, I'd take up that offer immediately.

[video]

[paladinlost]

If you have any way to fly or teleport, now would be the time to use it. My offer lasts the whole evening.

[reveiller]

[when the video flickers on, he raises a glass of water to the screen, cheerfully.]

A toast for every victory won!

[paladinlost]

Thank you. But you'd be too young for a proper toast, I think.

[reveiller]

You can have your champagne, and I, the blood of my children. It's the thought that counts, anyway.

Congratulations for the badge.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Thank you. It feels strange to think that I've achieved the goal I was aiming for all these months. I thought I'd disappear long before that.

Many of us have spent almost a year here. Feels strage in some way...
