73rd moon [video]

[Cecil is smiling and alone today, though a few of his Pokémon can be heard in the background.]

If it's no trouble, I'd like to hear about everyone's experiences with real estate in this world, especially when it comes to larger homes in Kanto. ...No, forget that, stories from any world or dimension would do. I've never had the opportunity to choose a house before, and I wish to know what to look out for.

[He sounds altogether too cheerful at the thought of inspecting houses for potential latent defects.]

I also wish to temporarily trade two of my Pokémon, as they are both more than ready to evolve. Could anyone around Celadon help me with that? I'd appreciate it.

Termites. Are there particularly visible signs of their presence? Signs that could be caught before a throughout inspection?

Hollow sounding wood, discarded wings, swelling, softening or darkening of the wood, cracked surfaces on the wood are all signs of a termite infestation. Places that have a cold climate will not see termites normally.

For all that Kanto has terrible storms in winter, last summer proved that the climate cannot be considered cold at all.

I am aware of this. I was here last summer. [ And it was bleak. ] Kanto is quite heated, but, there are some places in this region that seem to thrive on cold environments. [ Seaform Islands, where the hell that grumpy old man lives, etc. those places seem cooler than average, at least! ]

I'd not wish to live on the Seafoam Islands even if houses were built there.

Why not? I've never visited it myself but is it really that unlivable?

It is quite lovely if you need to catch an Ice-type, and the Gym should convince trainers to visit. But there is nothing else of interest there.

Well, considering how I have a grand total of four ice types and have little interest in the gym challenge, I might just skip that place entirely now. It seems like there isn't much hype to Kanto besides the gyms, unfortunately, which is a shame because it's a perfectly livable place.

Indeed. A few people have started to settle down in Saffron and Celadon, but it seems the other cities are not so popular. Even trainers wait until they have all of Johto's badges before visiting.

Yes. I wonder if the new offer to take a boat to Pallet Town will give this place some new blood. [ Oh well. It doesn't really affect her in any way. ] I personally live in Vermillion. I've found that I much like the Portside, and its connections to electricity means I can research without worry of burning up the town's power supply.

That city is practical enough, as long as you stay away from the Gym. The static there is a nightmare, even when no battles are taking place.

[ ooc: and it involves this icon. ]

Ah, I see. I haven't experienced any bad static myself, but, I think it's because there hasn't been much of a reason to visit the gym yet, or be in that general vicinity.

That is for the best. However, should you ever need to visit, you might want to bring a rock or plastic object with you.

I think I'll be wearing my rubber suit that was given to me by a laboratory. Therefore, I shouldn't be affected. [ Especially if her hair is in a bun, which it normally is when she's working. It makes her look twenty times more intimidating. ]

An excellent idea. It'll save you much trouble, and protect your Pokégear from annoying malfunctions.

I can't say I don't think I've ever had my pokégear malfunction, except for the occasional tingly feel. [ that is how I ICly handwave all of my typos! Woo! ]

My Gear was affected by the static, and so was my Elgyem, the poor thing.

Ah. Just how was your pokémon affected by the static? [ She recently had a conversation about one of those, so this will be interesting. ] Was it not able to perform psychic activities?

...I shocked him every time I tried to pick him up. As he was newly hatched, he found it quite upsetting.

Ah. Did it affect his psychic abilities in any way, or are they still normal? Electroshock therapy definitely has some very... conflicted results. [ Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Better start making up a psychology backstory now... ]

...His psychic abilities work perfectly well, but his personality... He does not quite act like most Psychic-types.

And just what makes him so unusual compared to other psychic types? [ She might as well bite. ]

...He impulsively throws himself at potential opponents, obstacles and chairs, and would try to fight with his fists if given half a chance. He's the type who would dig a hole through a mountain rather than walk around it.

[In other words, he's a really dumb shonen hero.]

Ah, that does seem to be a surprisingly common mindset. I know someone who is very much like that back home, and I'm sure you probably do too.

[ His name is Edward Elric and she hates the living shit out of him but that's ok because she'll get his revenge when she sacrifices him to daddy and gets her ferrari as a "thank you doting daughter" gift. ]

I do, but I admit I was not expecting such behavior from a creature I named after my uncle.

[...Yes, sure. That's exactly how it'll go, definitely.]
