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?

my apologies for late.

[Tinycecil is wandering this interesting little outdoorsy area--he doesn't know where he is, but the sun is high, the pidgeys are singing, and he figures the way back home'll fix itself somehow.]

[And hey, there's a man...and a kinda-scary thing, whut. He approaches, but with caution and curiosity.]

Not late at all! The event only ends on Monday.

[...This should have been more surprising, but the appearance of a female him completely broke his weirdness radar. His much younger self's presence almost doesn't surprise him.

Besides, a lost kid is a lost kid.]

Hello, little one. It's a lovely day for a picnic, is it not? Would you like a sandwich and a glass of juice?

[You know, all the things adults teach kids about strange people and being careful and not accepting anything they give you?]

[It didn't really stick with this kid.]

[Now that this man doesn't look anything other than friendly and the...thing hasn't made a move, Cecil decides he's pretty hungry, nods, and walks on over. ...Deliberately keeping his distance from Weird Thing, but whatever. Kid takes the sandwich and bites into it.]

Thank you.

[...Goodness, was he truly that trusting as a child? He could have been kidnapped or attacked or murdered or backstabbed or- hahaha. Some character traits never disappear, and this is certainly one of them.]

You're welcome. Have you been separated from your friends? I can help you look for then, if you would like.

[Meanwhile, Cecil's team is coming closer. Hopefully mini!trainer doesn't mind being stared at.]

[He has a mouth full of sandwich and enough manners not to talk during, so he just nods to what this older man is saying. It might be a good idea to find Kain and Rosa soon. Maybe they want food too.]

[But on another hand...]

What's that? [He says, quite obviously looking at Cresselia.]

[paladinlost]

This is Miss Cresselia. She's a very strong Pokémon, and she came to visit me today.

[Said Cresselia trills a friendly greeting, before taking a sandwich herself.]
