40th moon [video]

[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.]

Ah, the plan's taking shape.

You'd go alone?

[paladinlost]

I'd never leave Rosa behind.

[reveiller]

Ah. [... his wife, huh.]

Then I think it'd be a fine trip.

video.

[paladinlost]

It would be. Nothing around us but the sea and the sky, the wind whiping around as we fly... It's been quite some time since we had the chance to go on such journeys.

[reveiller]

I like the sound of that. It's very peaceful.

video.

[paladinlost]

Peaceful is too often underrated, sadly.

Remember to send a postcard when you're out and about~

video.

[paladinlost]

I'll use the Gear to send videos, if I can.

video.

[reveiller]

Oh, that's cheap.

video.

[paladinlost]

What can I saw? Moving images look better.

[reveiller]

Some might argue that postcards have more of a sentimental values.

Much like letters.

[paladinlost]

The most valuable would be seeing it together, I think.

[reveiller]

It's not always possible, though-- so we'll have to make due.

[paladinlost]

They might offer guided tours for groups, if the demand is great enough.

video.

[reveiller]

You'd have to hope that the natives are friendly.

video.

[paladinlost]

If they are not, we'll simply have to offer them ourselves.

video.

[reveiller]

Are you sure that'd be a safe investment? They might not give you back, you know.

video.

[paladinlost]

I know a few people willing to come to my rescue if needed.

video.

[reveiller]

Are they reliable?

video.

[paladinlost]

Very. I've faced worse by their side.

video.

[reveiller]

Well, it never hurts to have a contingency. It'd be an adventure, if they had to come and rescue you.

video.

[paladinlost]

It would be, but what's one more or less?
