[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.
enjoymyatelier: maybe he should check the foundations, come to think of it. (red car. good point.)

Both of those... actually do make sense. As much as I'm loath to admit it, I have grown rather fond of talking to people over the Gears, though I wouldn't say it really surpasses personal visits for me. Though, the fact that death is outright impossible probably does help, at least for some people...
enjoymyatelier: no seriously what are you doing (uhhhhhhhh....)

...actually, did that happen here at some point? I seem to remember hearing about something of the sort, though I don't quite know who it was...

Well, I do know an attempt was made, at least. And I do think it was a Gyarados... that's one of the ones that's big enough to do it without instantly killing someone, anyway.

A Wailord would actually be somewhat amusing, but I'm actually not entirely sure if they're capable of swallowing whole humans, if they're anything like normal whales. Plus, Gyarados are... well... Gyarados. That sort of behavior wouldn't surprise me, honestly.

Well, there are always exceptions, I suppose. Perhaps one that was doted upon would be less volatile, but I'm not sure if I'd have the patience to figure that out.
enjoymyatelier: cue the red exclamation point over kiritsugu's head (jiiiiiiii...)

...given how excitable and energetic puppies tend to be, I'm almost wondering if she'd be extremely dangerous to be around for an entirely different reason, if you didn't know how to deal with her...
enjoymyatelier: just imagine the crossed arms and this is von karma as balls (are you cross examining a parrot)

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-09-11 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, thank heavens for occasional mercies, I suppose. She at least behaves around company, then...?

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-09-14 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
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.

...ah, really? Well, that's a little less horrifying than I expected, but it does seem a bit unsanitary.
