102nd moon [video]
[The video starts simply, with a wooden floor. On the floor rest a bright red chest and a flowering plant. On the chest, a crowned bridal veil and a large stone have been placed. Cecil can be heard somewhere offscreen, walking aimlessly.]
Over the last five years-
[He stops himself for a moment. He's been telling people that this day was coming for months, but removing the 'almost'...]
Over the last five years, we've had four opportunities to obtain keepsakes from home. These are the four gifts I've received.
[The footsteps stops. Cecil's legs are now visible to the left of the screen.]
They might not seem like much, but they are my only physical link to worlds that I've not seen in far too long. Thus, I was wondering... I was wondering what you'd consider an object worthy of representing your home. What sort of memento you'd consider a blessing, if you were to receive it. And why that particular object is so important to you.
[A hand reaches down, slowly passes over all four items. Stills a few moments over the veil, but soon rises up again, out of sight.]
I'll be happy to share my stories, if anyone is interested. But I'd truly like to know what everyone considers important, when every familiar comfort is out of reach.

She was something special, man. One of a kind, my ma.
Video
She sounds like a wonderful person. Perhaps she'll have the opportunity to visit you in this world, someday.

[Jimmy's face falls some.]
Oh, uh...she's not with us anymore.
Video
[If it's not their comical aspect...]
...That matters little. She'd not be the first to come after dying, and certainly not the last either.
Video
...what, really?
Video
Really. People that have died, people from the future, people from the past... They can all find themselves here, whenever new arrivals show up.
Video
[Jimmy moves out of frame a moment and the 'gear pans to a comic on the table titled 'Trainer Taza and the Crobat's Curse'. The art doesn't exactly look geared towards children.]
The stories are all the kind of stuff you'd find in any book, it's just...more visual.
Jesus. This place is really messed up.
Video
[Comics now added to the list of concepts to import back to Baron.]
Yes, yes it is. But believe me, compared to some of it its temporal instability is practically harmless.
Video
Maybe to you.
Video
I must admit I've been blessed. This instability allowed me to see friends I'd been separated from years earlier; you could almost call it a gift.
Video
I've never seen anybody I knew here. Dead or alive.
Video
That's a shame. Certain people stay years without seeing anyone, while other cannot take two steps without stumbling over friends and enemies. We've not yet found out why.
Video
Lucky me, huh?
Video
It might not necessarily involve luck. Perhaps the people from your world are more difficult to take, or their time has not yet come.
