paladinlost | 15th moon [video/action]

[Cecil is out shopping in the Department Store. Again, you might want to say. But this time he holds the Pokégear with his left hand while the rest of his body is buried by bags and boxes of all kinds, and people can see a feminine hand adding more to the pile every so often.]

I would like to thank everyone who has sent me gifts. All of your choices were extremely thoughtful, and I have no doubt I will enjoy all of them.

[The feminine hand adds another bag. He waits until it leaves.]

I would also like to apologize to every trainer who might have wanted to challenge Whitney this afternoon. I was unaware that drying her tears would involve taking over her day. On my honor, I swear I will try to convince her to return to the Gym before nightfall.

[Another box, and this one hides his face from the camera. He sighs before turning the Pokégear off.]

Squall: ~~Sharp kitchen knives, with a note that says ‘They were the most practical I could find. Sorry.’~~ Never mind, he gets a compact survival knife.
Aerith: Level 16 female Marill
Warrior of Light: Lvel 15 male Magmar
Firion: Level 14 female Vulpix
Bartz: Level 12 Ditto, plus a Dratini doll for Lenna
Zidane: Level 14 female Growlithe, plus a Togepi doll for Garnet
Suzaki: Black winter coat
Kisa: Fire Stone
France: Fire Stone
Roxas: Thunderstone
Trucy: Scarf/gloves/earmuffs/sweater/pants set that matches her cape
Iris: Level 15 female Meowth holding a Quick Claw
Leon: Level 16 Magnemite holding a Metal Coat... and a chocolate bar
Kaito: Smoke Ball, plus the wallet for Biz

Everything has already been delivered by mail, unless your character is in Goldenrod. In that case, Cecil delivered the present himself.

[There's a long silence.]

...Sorry, Cecil.

[He rubs the back of his head.] Uh, well...if you need a beautiful woman to nurse you back to health, I can always lend you Dagger!

[Trying to make him feel better?]

Oh? Aren't you worried I would try to steal her away?

[It works! ...And Zidane gets teased for his efforts. Such a great friend!]

No way! She's already fallen so deeply in love with the best~.

Not that you aren't great either, Cecil.

But do you share the same definition of best?

Good. I was almost starting to feel insulted.

Of course we do!

You shouldn't. Not everyone can be as awesome as me, but they can come close!

[Ego inflated by 100%!]

Of course. Getting a cold is the peak of awesomeness.

...

[You just get this face, Cecil.]

Be proud. You have reached heights none of us can see. Will you ever come back down to our healthy, cold-free level?

Of course I will! [Because a sneeze totally proves his point. Not.]

I'm almost as good as new.

Will you still be good as new after a trek to either Azalea or Goldenrod?

Why wouldn't I be? I'm not unused to traveling.

But what if there's another blizzard? I do not know about your world, but mine certainly did not get that much snow in a month.

Well...with Growlithe, it shouldn't be as bad if it happens again. Besides, I'll be better prepared this time!

Make sure Bartz is prepared, too. I think he spent most of the storm safe in Violet. He might underestimate it.

I will! Can't risk my friends getting sick now can I?

[Because...that's what got him sick in the first place -- trying to keep Dagger warm and comfortable.]

If that were to happen, you'd be the one forced to take care of him. Preventing colds in the first place would be best.

[Such a gentleman~!]

Yeah...colds aren't all that great.

[He has to look after his loved one~]

At least there were no cases of frostbite. I'm somewhat surprised by that, actually.

[He nods.]

We were really fortunate with that.

I've not heard of any pneumonia either. There should have been a few, considering some people were trapped on the road.

That would make sense -- even I didn't get it.

[He grins.]

Just proves my awesome, is all.

Or perhaps it proves that our health and immune systems are strengthened by this world.

That would make sense, too.

[He shakes this head.]

Will we ever figure out what's up with this world?

We probably could, given enough time. But will we want to stay here that long?

...Probably not. I guess I'll have to stay confused, then.
