11th moon [Whatever, it's 4th wall time]
[So. Cecil woke up thanks to a strange flash of light, only to find an unknown Pokémon in his room. How did he react? Why, by inviting it to a picnic and making as many sandwiches as he could, of course!
Well, actually he blinked, froze, stared, almost shouted, decided against it, reached for his sword, remembered he didn't have his sword, cursed his lack of a sword, realized the monster was still there, stared some more, asked if said monster was hoping to eat him, felt quite relieved when it shook its head, stood up, looked outside, saw all the strange people and Pokémon in the street, decided he was hallucinating, woke his Pokémon up, got dressed, smiled, and finally decided to invite the amused Pokémon to a picnic. But who cares about the details?]
And here we were, wondering what would happen this month. At least the colors are not eye-searing, this time. Would you like another ham and lettuce sandwich, Miss Cresselia?

no subject
Yes, please!
[And she tries to hold it in, but....]
...timeline differences? Is that why you're so old?
no subject
Yes, that's why. In my time, you have grown to become a lovely young lady, with tons of Eidolon friends.
no subject
Really? Good!
And....um, ham 'n' lettuce? Or anything. I'm hungry.
[She peers at Cresselia with undisguised interest.]
...I've never seen an Eidolon like that before.
no subject
Her name is Cresselia. She's one of the local Pokémon, but I'd never seen her before today. [Said Cresselia trills a greeting and stares back at Rydia.]
no subject
[Rydia takes the sandwich, though hungry as she is, holds off for a moment.]
Hello, Cresselia. I'm not sure I understand what a Pokemon is, but it's nice to meet you.
[Now chowing down.]
no subject
Pokémon are both the local monsters and the local Eidolons. There are hundreds of them, and most are friendly. Isn't that right, Rosie, Avenger, Esuna, Flare? [When exactly did that Clefairy, that Banette, that Butterfree and that Growlithe appear beside Rydia?]
no subject
How did you do that?!?
...you named them after spells? And Rosa?
no subject
And one of my swords, for Avenger. I wanted a link to home, no matter how small. A lot of people do that. One of my friends even named his bird after his Chocobo.
no subject
[But she doesn't want to be rude to the creatures that just appeared, so she waves to them.]
...hi! I'm Rydia.
no subject
[Rydia gets two waves, a flutter of wings and a friendly bark. Oh, and four little faces coming closer. They've never seen a little girl this tiny before.]
no subject
They're nice.
...and really? I want to see!
no subject
Let's see, we could try visiting Goldenrod- [Is the whole group suddenly in the middle of a bustling city? How did that happen?] We are visiting Goldenrod. It really does work.
no subject
How did you do that? I didn't see you cast a Teleport spell!
no subject
no subject
[Rydia automatically scoots closer to Cecil, feeling safer next to him in the midst of all this action.]
Well...it didn't do anything bad. And we're where you wanted to be, right?
no subject
It's the city I was aiming for, but it might be too noisy for a picnic. What about the- [Trees everywhere!] ...Ilex Forest. I guess we can teleport anywhere, even places we've never seen.
no subject
[Rydia peers around, then smiles up at Cecil.]
This is fun! I like this place better.
no subject
no subject
Right! They might be hungry, too.
no subject
Already? It seems we'll be quite popular today.
no subject
Food is always a good way to make more friends.
[And she snags another sandwich for herself.]
no subject
Unless the cook charred it and his guests are offended.
