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.]

That would be so sweet! He seems so tiny standing next to her now! He's only ten, so he's rather small to begin with, but now he seems ever smaller!

Only ten? I do hope he's not travelling alone. There are so many children, I think some of them end up left to themselves.

No, he's a very intelligent little one. I'm sure he would be fine on his own, but not to worry! He's in Goldenrod now actually, with Phoenix. They're childhood friends or so they tell me. It's rather cute.

Childhood friends? They also suffer from a timeline difference, then? What large is the gap?

That's right! Yes, Miles is ten and Phoenix is...my age or perhaps a little younger.

That's nearly as much as the difference between my friends and I.

R-Really? Are your friends...younger or older than you Mr. Harvey? That must be so strange!

My sister is actually younger than I am here, although she seems the same.

All of them are seventeen years younger than they would be by my time, though I suppose time might flow differently in their worlds.

The time gap must be small, then.

Seventeen years. How odd! It must have been quite a surprise for you to see them all so young!

No, it's just that her nature has not changed. And she was fully grown by collage...

It was. They look the same as they did back then, while I've aged and mature a little.

She's the ageless type, then? Who can look seventeen or twenty-two at will?

Did you recognize each other?

Well, maybe. I hadn't really thought about it before. But, she's always liked to wear a lot of make-up. She likes to stay very pretty.

We did. I must still look as I did when I was younger, at least a little.

That's perfectly normal. We want people to see us at our best, and we try to hide our imperfections.

That's good. I didn't recognize one of my friends because I hadn't actually met him yet. He came from the future and so...it upset me greatly to see how disappointed he was when I didn't remember him. _{[Iris smiles.]} But we still managed to become friends again. I'm glad something similar didn't happen to you.

Yes, and her beauty makes it easier for her to sway people to her side. It's a technique she uses a lot.

Actually, when I arrived, my friends told me that another of our comrades was present, but did not remember us. I... didn't have to courage to talk to him, before he disappeared.

Beautiful ladies are dangerous. They have great weapons, and they know how to use them.

_{[[http://route-29.deviantart.com/]]}

...I'm sorry. That must have been hard for you.

_{[Iris nods.]} Some of them yes. But I've met very beautiful people that are not that way. It is how they use their beauty...

It's fine. He returned later, and that time he remembered.

Sadly, the world tends to favor those with natural beauty and ignore those who are less blessed, regardless of their talents. There are always people who abuse that.

Oh how wonderful! Like a second chance.

...Yes, that's true. But those people will never be ignored. True friends can see past things like beauty.

Thank goodness for that. If it weren't for friends, some people would be extremely lonely.

Yes. _{[Iris smiles.]} I know I was. Sister Bikini is a dear and a pleasure to spend time with, but she was my only constant companion. It's nice to be surrounded by so many good friends.

I'm certain she'll be happy to hear all about it, once you return.

_{[Iris gives Cecil a wide smile.]} Yes. I'm certain she'd be very interested in all this. I'm sorry she's not here to share it with me.

She might still arrive and join you. Newcomers do arrive every week, after all.

That's true! I'm sure she'd like it here. I wonder what sort of Pokemon she'd have?

Is there an element in particular she could be associated to? A Rock-type to represent mountains, perhaps?

_{[Iris giggles.]_{That certainly seems to fit her.

What sort of Pokemon do you think your wife would have? Or your son?}}

[video] Go for it! But those circular Pokémon are hard because you have to have a perfect circle.

[video] When I was little I used glue sticks. Couldn't draw them otherwise.

[video] Glue sticks? How cute! I used mugs!

[video] Mugs were too big. I drew small.

[video] That's lucky. When you draw big, it's easier to pick out mistakes.

[video] I was the type to put as much as I could on a sheet of paper.

[video] I was the type to go through vast amounts. :D

[video] I did both. My drawings were tiny, and there were many.

[video] You must have gotten in a lot of practice then!

[video] Sadly, talent didn't come with it.

[video] Practice makes perfect!

[video] Or just acceptable, sometimes.

[video] Now I need to see your art so I can prove you wrong there! I'm sure it's great!

[video] I haven't drawn in years, and I don't think I can find it.

[video] Awww....well you can draw something new. Did you know there is a DA group for Route now?

[video] I've seen. But I don't have a scanner. ;_;

[video] ;___; You must get a scanner. Cecil won't be able to post his pretty pictures until you do!

[video] We need to buy a new computer for my parents first, their old ones are dying.

[video] Oh dear. Our old house is dying. My parents are out buying new paint for it.

[video] Will new paint be enough?

[video] Let's hope so! At least it will look better! :D

[video] What color are they buying?

[video] Green with brown for the shutters.<3

[video] That sounds nice. What sort of green?

[video] A sage green. Our house has always been brown-so it's really exciting!
