[It appears someone has left a tall pile of snow in the middle of the Goldenrod Department Store. In the make-up section, as a matter of fact. Honestly, young people these days. They play mean-spirited pranks, not caring that the store's employees will have to clean that up, not thinking about the poor overworked janitors who would rather be at home, safe from the whims of the storm, No, they care only about their amusement, leaving behind snow piles that-]
Would a forest green lipstick look good with my coloring?
[-nevermind.]

[-nevermind.]
[video] FFFF-Oh Cecil. <3
Are you looking at Christmas gifts?
[video] Hey, he hasn't worn make-up in three months, the poor thing.
Oh, I've already bought those. One should always buy the essentials before the ornaments.
[video] Poor dear is deprived. <3
Wow! You're finished already? Well then, what is the lipstick for? Are you going to a party?
[video] The Violet mart only had red lipstick. Urgh.
[video] Oh dear. This must be a breath of fresh air for him then.
Is wearing make-up...enjoyable? I haven't had the pleasure of trying it before. [She blushes shyly.]
[video] They have actual variety! :D
Arranging colors to showcase your eyes or your smile can be quite satisfying. It feels the same as taking the time to wear matching clothes and accessories, really. But you truly have never tried it before? We'll have to change that.
[video] <3 Yay variety! Perhaps Iris should get him some make-up for Christmas. :D
[Iris nods, seemingly curious.]
No...Dahlia wanted me to wear some when we switched places, but I refused. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to put it on well and mess something up. And no one wears make-up at Hazakura Temple.
[video] Good luck finding a color he won't have. He'll be buying enough to withstand a siege.
Learning how to put it on can take some time, at first. But you end up knowing every single fold on your face, the very shape of your bones, the exact pressure of the pencil. Practicing is important.
[video] He'll have a RAINBOW~ Ah well, she can always get him those beads he was talking about. :D
R-Really? That sounds like...an art almost. I'm not sure I'd be very good at that.
[video] He's canonically been dressed in every color but pink.
You don't need to wear full make-up at all times. A simple eyeshadow can easily bring out your eyes and compliment a blouse.
[video] Seriously? Oh man, I'm SO tempted to get him pink now. <3
Eyeshadow? ...[Iris giggles.] I'm afraid you might have to help me out a little...
[video] But it wouldn't match his pretty eyes!
With a few days of practice, I'm sure you'd be able to learn the basics.
[video] This is true. ....Hmmm....green beads? That would be pretty~He has such nice hair.
Do you think so? I'll try my very best to learn. Then we can wear make-up together! [She gives Cecil a wide smile.]
[video] Hee~ And it's genetic, too.
I'll give you all my best tips. We'll quickly find out what looks best on you.
[video] It sure is! <3 He needs to have more children so the lovely hair can spread~
Oh thank you! I do hope it's not too much trouble...
[video] His mom tried that, and it landed her in DeathByChildbirth and ParentalAbandonment.
It's no problem. I used to help the daughters of my friends, back home.
[video] Oh dear. Well, that won't work. Ceodore can have the kids then? :D
Really? How fun! How many daughters do your friends have?
[video] ...The grandkids can wait a few years. Ceodore is too younnnnnng!
[video] How old is Ceodore? I get the feeling even if he was old enough, Cecil would still baby him
[video] Seventeen. Old enough to save the world. Never old enough to date.
[video] <3 That's the way Cecil! Let your boy nearly get killed AND deny him his girl. :D
[video] What girl? Palom's the one with all the ladies in that game.
[video] No girl for Ceodore? Poor baby. Palom should stop hogging them.
[video] What can I say? Girls like jerks.
[video] Not always~ Cecil gets his girl, and he's not too bad! <3
[video] Cecil got her when he was a Dark Knight. He doesn't count.
[video] No fair~!...........All the jerks really do get the girls.... /is amazed
[video] Ceodore is cursed with the nice guy gene. He had no chance from the beginning.
[video] Poor thing. He's got it from both sides of the family. It was unavoidable.
[video] He needs to spend more time around Palom.
[video] Hmmm....Hanging out with a jerk and ladies or saving the world?
[video] Luckily, he can do both at the same time.
[video] That's advantageous. Maybe he isn't so cursed after all!
[video] Well, there is the whole 'stop enemy from destroying the world' thing.
[video] There's that. But it's inherited, so it doesn't count!
[[She's talking about this woman.
http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100425002227/aceattorney/images/thumb/6/62/Bikini_OA.PNG/230px-Bikini_OA.PNG
[video] That's even worse. 'Your parents did it, now it's your turn.'
[[The characters' reactions when they see her after hearing her name are the best part of that case, I swear.]]
[video] His parents are to blame for all his misfortunes.
[[Oh I know. Miles' was the best by far. ....Have you played all the AA games?!]]
[video] Cecil is soooooorryyyyyy!!!
[[I still need to finish AAI. Merely seeing Alba's face makes me rage.]]
[video] Then again, he wouldn't be a Prince without Cecil! :D
[[Oh geez Alba. He, Gant, Manfred, Dahlia and Kristoph need to get together and have an evil villains party. Alba freaked me out SO badly when I first played.]]
[video] There is that. He can use his power to attract the ladies!
[[The world would explode because of the concentrated evil.]]
[video] And he can borrow Cecil's forest green lipstick. xD
[[I think Phoenix would have an Objection to that.]]
[video] Wouldn't match his armor. :3
[[Before or after the explosion?]]
[video] He could always borrow the black. Black matches anything.
[video] That it does.
[video] <3 Black for Ceodore it is! Or is he too young to wear make-up Cecil?
I didn't mind really, Hazakura was a lovely place. But Dahlia wanted me to help her get revenge on our father. I refused but...she carried on anyway.
[video] He's hold enough. He's all grown up!
[video] So, he's old enough for make-up but still not old enough for girls.
...She did what she thought was right. In the process though, she killed someone...in order to silence him. If I had aided her perhaps that would not have been necessary. But in the end, her crimes came back to haunt her.
[video] Exactly.
...That poor girl. To be willing to go that far, at such a young age... The two of you must have suffered terribly.
[video]
Yes. Dahlia has been through so much. It is my wish to be able to shield her soul from any more damage, but I'm afraid I've failed in that regard.
[video]
There are steps that people can only take by themselves. No matter how much you wish to protect her, she still makes her own choices, in the end.
[video]
Yes...I suppose I can not shield her from anything. But...I know that she tries so hard. I just wish that I could help her...
[video]
You could always encourage her to reach her goals through legal means, instead of violence. Help her build herself a new life here, in hopes that she will be satisfied.
[video]
Legal means? I-I'm not sure that's possible....Right now, all she wants is revenge. W-When we first met, I was so surprised I...didn't think. I didn't know she came from a time before she was arrested...Now she wants to make those that did that to her pay...
[video]
And in a stroke of bad luck, those people can be found here? In that case, she might stop if they all returned home, but...
[video]
Yes...she is already on the run, as she has already attempted to poison Phoenix. I fear for who ever is next...
[video]
Warrant last only two weeks in this world. She could easily live in peace, were she willing to stay away from her would-be victims.
[video]
Yes...Dahlia was also pushed to become a Master. She had more spiritual power than me, but not by much. Not nearly enough to become the Master. Dahlia has always hated Mother because of that...
...The warrant may expire but hatred does not. There are many that want to see her hurt-even killed-because of what she has done to Phoenix.
[video]
Could she create another identity? Live as another person, in a quiet little village?
[video]
I'm afraid that, in the time that I am from, she is in prison awaiting her execution.
[video]
In other words, this world is her last chance, and it can be taken away from her at anytime. ...I'm sorry.
[video]
Thank you Mr. Harvey. But...just the fact that she has this second chance, that is enough for me.
[video]
...You truly are a strong person.
[video]
M-Me? [Iris looks surprised.] I've always thought of Dahlia as a strong person...I haven't had to deal with nearly as much.
[video]
But every time she suffers, so do you. And yet you can still smile with happiness.
[video]
I try my best. After all, one of us has to keep smiling...
[video]
As long as you keep smiling, others around you will smile, too.
[video]
[Iris smiles, as if to prove Cecil's point.] Thank you Mr. Harvey. I...will do my very best to smile for everyone.
[video]
In that case, I'll also do my best to smile as much as I can.
[video]
You have a lovely smile Mr. Harvey. I'd be very happy if you did so.
[video]
Thank you. I'll try to smile as often as possible.
[video]
I'm glad. I would like to see your smile in person someday.
[video]
We should be able to meet in person soon, since we're in the same region.
[video]
That will be lovely. Would you mind terribly if I gave you a hug?
[video]
That would be nice. A strong, happy hug always helps.
[video]
Oh good! I was afraid you were the sort of person who doesn't like being touched. I should have known you wouldn't mind!
[video]
[video]
[video]
[video]
[video]
[video]
How exactly did you two meet?
[video]
[video]
It sounds like you have a lot of fun!
[video]
video; lmfao cecil christmas makeup always looks tacky bb
[video] He just wants to branch off a little. Try something new. ;_;
[video] Aw Cecil ;3; /shares makeup with him

[He's actually facepalming. And he's glad that they're in different cities, because he isn't entirely sure if Cecil will stop at just getting makeup for himself.]
no subject
[He wouldn't buy Light make-up, promise. Maybe for Terra, if she was there. ...Or a very unflattering color for Kuja. Or one of those creams that erase wrinkles for Ultimecia.]
this was [video] the whole time~
[Makeup is not a standard weapon for Cosmos Warriors, Cecil.]
[video] of course~
[See, he's been shopping for weapons too.]
[video]
[Look who's completely out of the loop about holidays in this world! The weapons are more approved, though, even if it's something like a frying pan.]
[video]
[He even found sharp kitchen knives for Squall! And he's giving half the team portable flamethrowers! He deserves some eyeshadow, right?]
[video]
But yes, he does.]
[video]
[That one stumped him, too.]
[Video] /so late to the party. Dx
Oh, Cecil. I can just imagine the glares the old folk of Johto would give you. "Young people today really do have enough time to play around and make a mess than doing a honest day of work."
[Did you like the way she was trying to act like old Cid? Did you,
PapaCecil?][Video] There is no such thing as too late.
I wiped my boots at the entrance, I'll have you know. And I might end up working here, so they can always make me clean it myself.
[Video] awesome! xD i was worried for a minute there... o 3 o
Well then, I guess the old folk won't be glaring at you too much. I'll make sure to visit you at the deparment store while I have my lunch break.

...I think Leon remembers a little bit from those three days.
[Video]
...I think I dreamed of people I know. And sandwiches. I woke up surrounded by old sandwiches.
[Video]
Do you remember anyone in particular? [And wonders.] Sandwiches?
[Video]
My wife and my best friend. And thousands of sandwiches, any kind you could imagine.
[Video]
Hmmm, do you remember your conversations with them? [She giggles a bit.] Do you love sanwiches, Cecil?
[Video]
[Video]
[More giggling.] Well, you're better at cooking than I am because I tend to burn or just ruin any type of meal. Or at least, Leon and Yuffie told me so...
[She doesn't believe them.]
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[She sighs a bit.] If there was am easier way to get any other type of tea, then I would have made othr types of tea too.
[Video]
[Video]
[Video]
[video]
...er. You wear makeup, Cecil?
[video]
It took months, but I finally found a store that sells my favorite colors. I'd almost given up on finding a proper purple in this world. I couldn't possibly wear that ghastly red sold in Violet.
[video]
...I see.
Is wearing makeup common in--[ think think think where did Cecil say he was from again ]--Baron?
[video]
Most of the young nobles do. There were once many traditions associated with the different colors and the quantity of make-up you wore, but these days it's mostly ornemental. Black lipstick is still the most popular, however.
ORZ I'm sorry! Is it okay if I tag you on this? *A* If not, feel free to ignore!
It would certainly match your eyes. Are you getting lip-pencil and stain as well?
[video] It's fine~~
[Video] 8D Yaaaaaay!
So it really is a full department store in Goldenrod! I'll have to make a trip there as soon as I get to the city; I definitely could do with proper haircare products instead of what is offered at the Mart.
What color nail polish? Do they have cuticle oil for sale, too?
[Video]
Even without moving my head, I can see three brands of cuticle oil. As for nail polish, they have any color you might be thinking of, and then some. There's this opalescent cream that would be absolutely lovely over a layer of black, and a dark blue that turns almost royal under the light.
[Video]
Oh, I do miss winter fashion shows...
I'm going to spend so much money when I get to Goldenrod, not even joking. I absolutely must buy a manicure set; being in Hell is no excuse for having hands to match.
[Video]
I saved money for three months, in order to buy everything I want. I do not regret the long hours spent in Pokémarts anymore.
[Video]
I would rather not have to use my cooking utensils in an event that would warrant self-defense.
I'm glad that it was worth it. I think I would die of boredom at a Mart.
[Video]
I nearly did, myself. But I was not in a state to do anything more complicated than stocking shelves, when I arrived. So I stayed with the shops.
[Video]
I know someone with an unusual talent for frying pan attacks, too.
It takes a long time to adjust to this place. It's... really nothing like anything I expected or have seen before...
[Video]
Frying pans are excellent for enemy soldiers and sleeping husbands, apparently. She even bought herself a ladle, to use on her daughter.
It wasn't a matter of having problems adjusting. It was a matter of not having the capacity to register that I had to adjust.
[Video]
There's no way to fully adjust here, I think; we're given so little to go by that it's almost impossible to figure out even where to start. And then people seem to disappear so often, too...
[Video]
I was lucky; four of my friends were present, and Rosie was reliable enough to compensate for my failings.
[Video]
I... don't like to think of what would have happened without Marianne and if Canada hadn't showed up. They grounded me, at least a little bit.
