74th moon [video]

It took some time to choose the right building and decorate it all, but my new house is finally ready.

[Cecil sounds very proud of that, and if those Pokémon cheering in the background are any indication he's not the only one.]

It is still missing a little something, however, and that something would be visitors. Therefore, I would like to invite you all to a small celebration in Celadon on February the 28th, starting at five in the afternoon. I would be happy to send my Flying-types to pick up anyone who might otherwise be unable to come, and hope to see you all there.

[He starts to turn the Gear off, but suddenly stops himself.]

I would also be very happy to find good homes for the eggs that were not adopted during the convention, if anyone would have them. I've no doubt they'd make any trainer or breeder very happy.

Tap water...?

[He blinks. When he heard that, he wonders if there's something in Celadon's tap water supply.]

Celadon's sound pretty nice to live in from what I've heard. I'm still traveling around Kanto, but I might settle down after I'm done with my journey.

[Atsuro would probably pick Kanto out of nostalgia.]

Although, I'm not that much of a biking person, but I can always give it a try.
babel_hacker: (The Aspiring Programmer)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-02-23 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
In that case, I'll just have to make sure to check the water supply. Or find a good water filtering system.

[He rather not risk it, thanks.]

I can probably handle the rent or buying the house once I have a steady job. What about other bills, like electricity?
babel_hacker: (Casual | Chatting)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-02-25 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[As someone who's familiar with bills, this is great news.]

Awesome! It's kinda weird that they're rather low, but considering other possible expenses, I won't complain about it at all.

[Not everyone can be as rich as you, Cecil. Only Atsuro can dreams of it. (Imagine all the hardware he can buy!)]

That's the most likely explanation. Although that'd make a little curious on how their economy works.
babel_hacker: (Laptop | Let me check something)

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-02-28 03:01 am (UTC)(link)

Not that either. [Is he going to explain the stock market to Cecil...?]
babel_hacker: (Laptop | Let me check something)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-03-08 12:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy. How to explain the stock market to someone who clearly doesn't have them in their world?

"People buy and sell ownerships for profits!"

Yeah, okay, he can do better than that.
]

A stock trader is someone who owns, buy and sell stocks in the stock market, mainly to earn profit.

As for stocks... [Hm, how to explain them.]
babel_hacker: (Ice Cream | Chillin')

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-03-10 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Which he's trying to think of right now.]

You got that right. The simplest explanation I can think of is, well, stocks are basically ownerships of a product or company.

So a stock trader is someone who buy and sell their ownerships for profit.
babel_hacker: (Thinking | Is that so?)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-03-11 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
There's usually a lot of paperwork involved. But most of the trading is also done digitally. Granted, I don't really trade stocks, so most of it is what I heard from my friends.

[Perks of being online friends with adults.]
babel_hacker: (Checking the time)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-03-12 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much! But with a much larger and more secure database, once you have someone trustworthy enough to set it up.

[Since...it can kind of affects the economy if it crash.]

I'm kinda surprised I didn't hear more about this in Johto and Kanto.
babel_hacker: (Loyal Friend)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-03-14 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Only if they're extremely optimistic, but even that's not enough. Probably why I don't see any news about the stock market at where we can see it.

[None of them are immune to this world's whim. Not even Souji, who started the Breeding Centre with some help.]
babel_hacker: (Thinking | Is that so?)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-03-17 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I know the Department Store's big and important enough for the general public, but it's still strange.

[It's something he noticed. Atsuro paid attention to the news to keep up with current events, and how they can possibly affect his daily life. Like shopping.]

Like what about the big companies? Companies that are usually responsible for making products for the public.
babel_hacker: (Thinking | Is that so?)

[Video]

[personal profile] babel_hacker 2013-03-21 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh. [Now he have another thing to look into.] Even if they keep the actual production's a secret, they still need to advertise their products and show for it.

[Lightning's a bit frazzled and windblown when she connects, scarf wrapped tight around her neck. What? It's cold when you're flying on Skarmory-back!]

What kind of Pokémon are the Petilil? They any good in a fight?

[Once trained, of course. Lightning wouldn't throw a newly-hatched into a battle against a level 100. Cecil knows this.]

[Sadly there would be more trouble if she didn't, and she has no other flyer. Odin just can't make up for the difference in time riding would cause.

She nods at the description, though the name of Cecil's makes her mouth twitch. Really?]


Could you send one on to Blackthorn? I'm headed that way now, but it'll take a couple more days to reach it.

That's fine. Lucky can keep her egg warm if it needs more time. [Fire types. A blessing in winter in more than one way.] I'll send you the money when I get there, alright?
soggypastry: (smallsmile)

[video]

[personal profile] soggypastry 2013-02-22 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[A fair point. Lightning will learn that by experience over the next few months, surely.

Also, Cecil gets a small smile--it's less the concern that she'd skip without paying and more the concern that Cecil might have needed the funds sooner than a few days, but...]


I'll call you before I send it, then. Shouldn't take more than another two or three days.

More like the time it takes my noisy steed to rest and thaw out his feathers. I'm fine until nightfall.

[As can anyone who's lived through a Johto winter or two. You don't mess with those things.]

He hasn't been complaining about that. I think his wings getting ice on them bothers him more.

[Hence why he's huddled up against Lucky just off camera. Skarmory are durable yes but they still feel cold!]
soggypastry: (she didn't trust me)

[video]

[personal profile] soggypastry 2013-02-23 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think so. It's so cold up there anything liquid would freeze and make the problem worse. [frown.] It's helped a little down on the ground, but it's still mostly waiting them out.

[The wing sweaters, while cute, would probably just make things worse. Drag and resistance and more time in the cold. Urgh. They still have to fly back, too.]
soggypastry: (making my own fate)

[video]

[personal profile] soggypastry 2013-02-23 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Those really only help if you're in a city, Cecil. It wouldn't do you much good if you're camping out on a route.

[Hey, Lightning was content to wait out the winter at the beach house she's fixing! Except someone she knows put his head so far into a foxhole that now he needs help getting out and...yeah she's got an idiot to save. Winter weather waits for no one.]

Only if they put safety instructions in with them. Not everybody knows how to make a campfire, and the last thing we need is someone burning Route 29 to the ground.
