[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.

Plenty of time to enjoy what I have while I have it.

{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.

I never had much interaction with animals beforehand. Not as companions.

[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.

No....I can't say that I have. The ocean makes me nervous.

[And the experience Cecil's describing sounds like a nightmare.]

But they are very devoted creatures.

That happens? That Pokemon don't take to their trainers? Why would they stay, if they didn't like who they ended up with?
