29th moon [video]

[The scene is chaotic and glorious: Pokémon shouting, yelling, pleading, all at the same time and at the loudest volume they can manage. Yet somehow, the following can be heard...]

One at the time, please. I only have one hand to write.

[Not that Cecil's request is heeded. He sighs, and addresses the Pokégear directly.]

With the new additions to Goldenrod's catalog, I thought shopping might be a good idea, and it appears my Pokémon agree. Will anyone need something from that list? Some of those items can be rather expensive for newcomers, especially if you've not yet found work. As long as you tell me where you are, I can ask the store to post it to you.

[If he survives the yelling Poképile, that is.]

I'll have to try that!

They might not know the songs you like, but they might be able to play something similar, at least.

I'll see what I can do.

If it does work, do tell everyone else. You are far from the only one who wishes to hear different sounds every so often.

They'll hear of it long before I can tell them if it does.

Unless they care little for the radio itself.

Then why would it matter either way what I do?

Because it might convince them to care.

That's one point...

It would also be proof that we can influence this world, however slightly.

I doubt that's impossible.

Yet it seems this world does not change to accomodate us, no matter how many arrive.

Maybe because it gets rid of some of us every so often?

However, it cannot or will not remove quite a few people, even after months. They should be in a good position to shape this world.

Should be doesn't mean they are.

Are you one of those people?

...Eight months and a half. Far from the earliest arrival, but I've had the time to seen many appear and disappear.

... Nearly a year.

How many have gone?

...Marluxia. Ginko. Trucy. Pearl. Kanji. Mimi. Taichi. Tidus. Cloud. Firion. Zack. Both of the Aeriths. Squall. Zidane. Edward. Mr Wright. Iris. Suzuki. Dozens whose names I cannot recall. Many have since returned, but not always with their memories.

... That's...

Some of them have been gone for a very long time, now.

What do you do?

Remember them fondly. Keep an eye on the Pokégear, and perhaps contact them if they reappear. What else can I do?

Find them? Keep them with you? Take them back with you to your world...!?

[He's... given this some thought. There's people here now he doesn't want to lose.]

...That last one, I could not do, no matter what. Finding them and staying by their side is fine if it is also their wish, but meeting someone in this world is not always easy.

What do you mean?
