93rd moon [video]

[The view: the ceiling of the most enpensive restaurant in Celadon. The background noise: dozens of customers enjoying their meals, and Cecil tapping his fingers on a wooden table.]

When I first awoke in New Bark Town, four years ago, I was... unwell. This whole world's very existence confused me, and so did my presence in it. The relatively weak and harmless-looking monsters were also a shock. Had it not been for Rosie's sweetness, I surely would have attempted to fight her. You could say that day was very unpleasant, though still far from the worse I've had.

[The background noise: a liquid hitting glass. The view: a quick flash of a wine bottle in a corner.]

And yet... when I finally managed to use the Pokégear, I was contacted by friends I'd not seen in seventeen years. Friends I'd not remembered in seventeen years, and that I would not have expected to ever see again even if I'd kept those memories. I also met kind people, good people, who made my first few weeks here much easier than they would otherwise have been. All have been gone for years, now, but I still find myself thinking of them fondly. Therefore... you could say that day was a good day, too.

[The action, unseen and barely heard: Cecil making a silent toast to all those people, and downing that glass before setting it back on the table.]

...Well! Now that I've shared my first day experience, it's only fitting that you do the same. Surely you all have interesting stories to share.

They suck either way.
enjoymyatelier: just imagine the crossed arms and this is von karma as balls (are you cross examining a parrot)

Well, thank heavens for occasional mercies, I suppose. She at least behaves around company, then...?

I can see how that went. I haven't dealt with that, since my friends' arrival have a pretty decent gap between them.

[Until everyone but him leaves.]

In a way, I like that people doesn't pop up as frequently as back then. We can still do our plans and probably get ready for whenever new people comes in.
enjoymyatelier: no seriously what are you doing (uhhhhhhhh....)

Well, that might be horrifying if you're not expecting it, but now I'm definitely wondering what the other two are and what they even do...
enjoymyatelier: smug smug smug. (smuggity smug smug smug)

...well, I would hope you don't have those ones greet guests, then. That's practically a violation of every hospitality standard in existence.
babel_hacker: (Thinking | Is that so?)

...Yeah, that would be a thing.

[Atsuro haven't worry about it for a long time. For obvious reasons.]

Even with Fly and the ferry between New Bark and Pallet, that's still a lot of time and distance to cover.

Some of my friends can survive out in the road, especially when we don't have to worry too much about getting supplies in New Bark.

[Seeing people fighting and stealing rations? Not fun at all.]

Of course, there's always a few older people who don't know how to deal with camping, but like you said, they can travel with others who do.
enjoymyatelier: have fun storming the castle, kayneth (a totally honorable mage duel)

[The implication is not lost on Kayneth, and he smiles a bit wryly.]

Well, it never hurts to know who to set as your doorman and who to set as your guard dogs.
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

Well, I've always been more fond of ghosts of various kinds in that role, but you are right.

...granted, I think that monsters living in an entire city's waterways is a little much.

A lot of the basics are common sense, and learning how to ration the supplies. Plus, the promise of being a big city is a pretty good motivator.

...ah, really? Well, that's a little less horrifying than I expected, but it does seem a bit unsanitary.
enjoymyatelier: kayneth looking smug as hell in a way that could possibly be construed as amicable (you cannot defeat him.)

Oh, well that makes far more sense. Really, if you're going to have a moat, you may as well fill it with monsters, even if it does leave your fishing prospects a bit grim.
