99th moon [Another Brick in the 4th Wall]
[Every day, many wasteful acts are committed across the world: nearly empty shampoo bottles are thrown away, ice cream bowls are not carefully scraped clean with a spoon, quality cold cuts are not placed between slices of freshly-baked bread, regained magic is not cast...
Cecil Harvey is not a wasteful person.
In fact, he's such an unwasteful person that he spends a large part of the weekend teleporting up to random confused souls, offering them ice cream and sandwiches aplenty, and teleporting away.
All of that with hair that looks like it came out of a shampoo commercial, of course.]

[SAYS YUSUKE, WHO REGARDS THE SANDWICH WITH SURPRISE FOR ALL OF A SECOND BEFORE ACCEPTING IT WITH A BIG GRIN. He's been spending the better half of the day running around enjoying the feeling of being at full strength again, and had just plunked himself down on a curb in the middle of some city he didn't recognize to take a breather when Cecil approached him. He doesn't even question the sudden appearance of Cecil and his sandwiches. When weird shit happens, don't think about it too hard. That is a lesson Yusuke learned long before he showed up in Johto.]
no subject
[Cecil's been through this ten times. He's got the 'surviving random teleportations and Magikarps' thing down to an art form.]
no subject
So, uh - [He swallows.] Is this always how you spend weekends like this?
[BECAUSE IF IT IS, THEN BUDDY, HE IS GONNA MAKE A DELIBERATE EFFORT TO TRACK YOU DOWN NEXT TIME.]
no subject
[Which is about half the time, so.
Cecil starts eating a sandwich of his own. All that teleporting has left him hungry.]
Sometimes I also find the time to grill meat in my backyard, but Flare ate the last of my beef yesterday.
no subject
Cecil.
...Why does this feel familiar?
no subject
Because even this world has its constants, to everyone's relief. Would you like some chocolate sauce with your ice cream?
[Note that he's not asking if Kain wants ice cream.]
no subject
Are you seriously asking me that?
no subject
Kain, I've been through this madness ten times. Keeping food on hand for unexpected guests was the next natural step.
[But the moment passes quickly, and Cecil beams again.]
I also have caramel, if that's what you'd prefer.
no subject
The chocolate would be fine. But Cecil... why has this happened? And why so often?
no subject
[He starts pouring the sauce on the ice cream. Mmmmm.]
It might be related to the arrival of the first trainers here. That took place exactly five years ago, and the first of these events happened six months later. Strawberries?
no subject
And what brought the trainers here? There surely must be some explanation for it all, right?
[He sighs, as if resigning himself to madness. Being transported around to random worlds ought to be something he's used to by now.]
...Fine, very well, yes.
no subject
There must be, but it's not been shared with us. Though one of the local Legendaries, the closest this world has to gods, did personally request our help and protect us some time ago.
no subject
Ah, so what happened? Were you enlisted to fight some battle for them in the way we did for Cosmos?
no subject
I was enlisted to stop two criminal groups from destroying each other, with this world as collateral damage.
no subject
A difficult position to find yourself in, truly. What happened?
no subject
[Somehow, that last sentence comes out completely seriously.]

[But such is his way, training and fighting are so much part of who he is that he’d never imagine putting effort into other pursuits.]
no subject
[Not much, but it helps.]
no subject
[He’d rather be in the wild fending off monsters and keeping his spear skills sharp, though. It’s a good thing indeed that he’s just visiting this place.]

[Not enough to make him ever want to do a job class switch the was Cecil apparently has, but still it seems that it works for those of this world.]
no subject
[If he says that enough it'll become true, right?]
no subject
[He really does wonder how anyone could live in such conditions and stay sane. But then not everyone is as combat-oriented as Kain.]
no subject
[But it's not, and he's more or less accepted it.]

[Then again, so would leaving town after working only four days, so...]
no subject
[He smirks in amusement at that. And oh man, if leaving town is a punishable offense, Kain basically would be doing permanent, constant community service, whoops.]
no subject
[Can he get that in writing, for the day Kain finally comes home for good?]
no subject
[Kain hinges enough of who he is on his fighting abilities and his need to practice it... that any price is worth it.]

[Is he trolling? Now, if it were Edge he would be certain it was some jest.]

And what are they capable of that's so horrible?
