44th moon [video/action]

[paladinlost]

[Today's backdrop is the Goldenrod Pokémon Center's kitchen. The cameramon would be Noelle the Blissey, considering the soft Bliss, bliss that can be heard. And the foreground?

An omelet. One large enough to feed a whole castle, with cheese and mushrooms and sausage bits. You could practically smell it through the screen.]

It'll not cook faster if you make a video of it, you know.

[The cook arrives, looking tired but much better than he did last time he posted. And this time he apparently doesn't mind the feed.]

How many people here come from worlds with inhabited moons? From what I've heard, we are in the minority.

[He pauses to study the color of the meal.]

If anyone is hungry, come to the Pokémon Center. We have more than enough to share.

[Free food! Who could ask for more?]

Goldenrod has people, at least. Entertainment.

And a lot of friends too!

So does, Olivine, usually, but it seems everyone is travelling at the moment.

[ PING. SOMETHING IS HITTING HIM RIGHT NOW IN HIS HEAD. ]

Rosa... Did she...?

[ OMFG CECIL ;_; ]

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

[His smile breaks for a fraction of a second before he turns to looks at the omelet.]

...I've not seen her since we arrived in Goldenrod. She must be exploring the store.

[Denial until the gear stops working, dammit.]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

I will look out for her!

[ ;_; ]

[paladinlost]

Thank you. She might be looking at evolutionary stones for Cece and Joanna.

[ Off he is, searching for her :(

He will not come back unless Cecil calls him because he wants to find her :( ]

[paladinlost]

[Cecil'll just. Stay there. Feed the kids. Keep the team calm. Pretend everything is fine.

...It's really not.]

[ Hours later..... He will come back. And he won't say anything.]

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

[The remains of the omelet have gone cold, the kids have all left, the Pokégear is within hand's reach on the table, and Cecil is sewing pillows. It's the little things that keep him calm.]

...What are the chances that she decided to visit Whitney?

[ action ]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

[ Even Bartz can see that now. ]

But she should have returned by now... [ Here's your bro, sitting down with you. ]

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

Unless she fell asleep, as some do.

[He doesn't sound like he believes it.]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Cecil....

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

...It's fine. She'll be happier once she knows for certain that she'll be saved.

[ action ]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

And who knows! Maybe she will come back here soon!

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

From a peaceful, happier time, perhaps. One where she'll not have to fear her return.

[ action ]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

Yes! Let's hope for that, Cecil...!

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

Or perhaps from a time even further than mine, with nothing but good news about the future. That'd be nice, too.

[ action ]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! I'm sure she will be happy to tell you about that!

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

It'd be nice to hear about battles won, new friends made...

[The impossible manliness that is Gilgamesh...]

[ action ]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

That's right. I'm sure she will have tons of stories!

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

...I'll have to ask her not to tell you the embarrassing ones, just in case.

[ action ]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

But those are the best ones!!

[ action ]

[paladinlost]

I know. So you'll simply have to wonder about what you're missing.
