11th moon [Whatever, it's 4th wall time]

[paladinlost]

[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?

Sure! You've got everything, dontcha?

[paladinlost]

I have- [Where did all these pitchers and bottles come from?] -everything indeed, it looks like.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

So if this was a really cool dream, you'd have cookies and cake, too.

[paladinlost]

[And candies, and donuts.]

You might be on to something with your 'dream' theory. I prefer the 'mass hallucination' one, however.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

No, you were s'pposed to say, 'that's 'zactly right, palom' and then bring out the cookies and cake.

[paladinlost]

I didn't need to. They showed up right behind you. [And they look delicious.]

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Whoaaa! This is the best!

IT'S OK IF THEY RAIN FROM THE SKY, TOO. IF ANYONE'S LISTENING.

[paladinlost]

[A chocolate bar falls from the sky. Then another. And then no more.]

Nice try. It's a shame it didn't work.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Free chocolate. I won't complain.

[Cecil's sandwiches are sadly ditched in favor of the sweets shortly after.]

[paladinlost]

We might as well go all the way. A million gil would go nicely with the sandwiches.

[...Nothing.]

You don't know how these things work, Cecil. When you get greedy, all you get is coal or birdpoop.

[paladinlost]

I wasn't being greedy. The shopkeepers do not accept gil, only the local currency. I merely wished to know the limits of this power. [Though actually getting the gil would have been nice too.]

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

That's dumb. Everyone should just use the same money. Things are a lot less compliciated that way.

[paladinlost]

I know of eleven other worlds that use gil. But beyond that, there are so many types of money that I have no idea how anyone could keep track of them.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

I've got a good idea. You should all switch to chocolate cookies. Everyone knows about those and they're delicious.

[paladinlost]

...Who would be willing to give away chocolate cookies, even for clothes?

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

We'd just switch all the bankers to chocolate cookie making duty instead so there'd be enough to go around.

[paladinlost]

I can only imagine the cavities we would all have. We would need to brush our teeths at least five times a day.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Toothbrushing is dumb, anyway. I just have Porom fix me up when I get cavities.

[paladinlost]

One of these days, she'll say no and leave you to suffer, you know.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

What kind of a big sister would she be if she did that? Sheesh.

[paladinlost]

One that wants you to learn a lesson. They do that, sometimes.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Then I'd have to teach her a younger brother lesson.

[paladinlost]

I'd be careful if I were you. She grows up to hit quite hard with a staff.

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

You say that like you know the future or something.
