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.

I didn't understand why I was here, how I'd come to be here, why this animal that didn't look like a proper animal was bound to me...
But it wasn't long at all before someone very important to me contacted me through the Pokegear, then other people I'd known back home and thought I'd never see again.
This place gave me back my family.

They are. We're lucky.
And something of the sort. Not a loved one, but someone I knew and was pleased to see well.

[And if he's a little jealous too, well. He's used to it by now.]
How did your starter react to your initial confusion? I hope its feelings were not hurt.

Oh, Guttle didn't suffer for it. I was confused, but his company was welcome. And now he's painfully spoiled.
[Video]
[He stops himself from saying 'to lose people'; that would be cruel and unpaladinlike.]
-see annoyances from home arrive, and to spoil Guttle beyond any spoiling the world has known.

{But she isn't very worried, with how long Envy's been here.]
The little butterball already is. I really am fond of Pokemon, now that I've become more used to them.

[As test subjects, plenty. But that's not the sort of thing one shares.]
There's something comforting in knowing you'll never be alone.
[Video]
[Video]
[And the experience Cecil's describing sounds like a nightmare.]
But they are very devoted creatures.

[...Fine, there might have been a few attempted murders instead..]
