18th moon [video] backdated to the early evening

[paladinlost]

[Cecil's bedroom is currently extremely chaotic. Of course, any bedroom would be considered chaotic, if its contents were being packed up in a hurry by five Pokémon. Why isn't Cecil taking care of it himself, you ask? Because he's busy wrapping a Dratini egg in enough scarves to keep it warm in a blizzard.]

Everyone, I'm returning to Cherrygrove to meet up with Edward. If anyone has any deliveries to make in Violet or Cherrygrove, I can take care of them. I will also welcome any travelling partner.

[He almost turns off the Pokégear, but pauses. When he speaks, his voice sounds uncertain, hesitant.]

...Light. Bartz. Zidane. Squall. Do you think... Do you remember... [He shakes his head.] Nevermind. It's not important.

[He finally cuts off the feed.]

Try using some of your Arcanine's fur in the wrapping of the egg. It'll keep it warm very effectively.

[If Cecil wasn't busy wrapping, he'd approve of the skin moisturizing.]

I used it all for the pillows, and he'll need as much as he can for the journey. Perhaps I'll take the time to brush him at the Pokémon Center beyond the cave.

Ah, that's logical.



What path are you taking back to Cherrygrove?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Union Cave and route 31 until Violet. With the current weather, I've no time to navigate the forest. Even with Flare's help, reaching the town will take some time.

[Ever seen a Feebas drag around a make-up case? Leviathan is doing pretty well, for a Pokémon without legs or hands.]

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Mr. Cecil? Is everything alright?

[paladinlost]

Oh, yes, everything is fine, Roxas. [Which is actually not a lie.] A friend from home just arrived, but he's slightly injured and his Pokémon cannot warm him. Thus, I need to bring him some supplies, and greet him properly.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Has he left New Bark Town?

[paladinlost]

I'm not certain, but even if he has he cannot be far from it. His injuries will slow him down. Why do you ask?

A-Are you really going out in this weather Mr. Harvey? You'll freeze!

[video]

[paladinlost]

I have no choice. Edward is injured, or at least still sore, and his Pokémon cannot protect him from the cold. Besides, I resist the cold quite well, and I have more than enough warm clothes.

[video]

[usedsubstitute.livejournal.com]

Injured? How terrible! ...Was he injured when he arrived here?

Do be careful. It looks like it will only get worse...

Good fortune in seeking out your comrade, Cecil.

Remember what?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Thank you. I'll need that fortune, when the time comes for explanations.

...Does the name 'Tifa' mean anything to you? Did Cloud ever mention her, during the Conflict?

[Video]

[for-cosmos.livejournal.com]

Because of the difference in age?

I do not believe so, but I did not spend as much time with him during the conflict as you did. Perhaps one of the others would know more, but... [None of them are here.]

[usedfacade.livejournal.com]

Take care of yourself, Cecil. Stay warm.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I will, thank you. This would be a terrible time to fall ill, and this one will need all the warmth it can get, too. [He pats the egg fondly.]

[video]

[monkeyflirt.livejournal.com]

What do I remember?

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Do you remember Cloud ever mentioning the name 'Tifa'?

[video]

[monkeyflirt.livejournal.com]

...Hm, I'm not sure. Why?

[Video]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

Someone from your world is here? Wanna go with Boko to make it shorter?

[And then.]

Remember what?

[Video]

[paladinlost]

I'll be fine. Flare can serve both as a steed and as a heater.

...Do you remember if Cloud even mentioned a friend of his named Tifa?

[Video]

[mimicofthewind.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool! Forgot you have Flare with you!

[He titls his head a bit.]

Cloud barely mentioned anything, you know? His face was all stuck in the same one, but Squall's better at being stuck in the same face for a long time. [Mimic time!]

Good luck. The journey towards Violet took me longer than it should have by virtue of the weather; it's colder here than it was back home.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Thank you. I'm lucky enough to train an Arcanine, so at least I have no need to worry about the ice. But I'll add more layers around the egg, just in case.

Re: [video]

[usedpursuit.livejournal.com]

That's good. I worried about my eggs, but-- Hokuto-chan didn't seem worried over them, and I know if there were any problems there, she would certainly object to their treatment. [maternal instinct in Chansey, go.]

They seem particularly resilient.
