32nd moon [video/action]

[paladinlost]

If anyone has found themselves in Cianwood and wishes to leave, Kayne still has some room on his back. We leave from the beach in two hours.

[Geez, someone is in a charming mood today. He's currently around the beach, watching a Dragonite, a Swablu and a Delibird fly around while a Milotic and a Gyarados are swimming.

...Which might very well explain his behavior, actually.]

--ah? Cecil-san?? ... I didn't know you were here in Cianwood.

[action♥]

[paladinlost]

Neither did I until this morning, to be honest.

[Still staring a bit fixedly at the Pokémon.]

*Walking up next to him to watch them as well! His Umbreon trotting along at his side and sitting down as he stops*

Mmm... So it's another case of people being teleported across Johto, huh? *looking from the Pokemon to him, giving a friendly smile* Are all of them yours?

[action♥]

[paladinlost]

[Delibird approaches the newcomers. Hopefully he won't try to give out presents.

Cecil shoots a look at the Gyarados, now.]

...Seifer was not, before today.

[He looks much to strong to have been caught in the local waters, too.]

[action♥]

[combat_butler]

Ah... I know what that means... *suddenly that smile is looking sympathetic instead of friendly* I had someone I know leave recently as well. It's not the easiest thing...

*HOWEVER. Upon seeing this Delibird Hayate... stares. That bird looks... way too much like a certain jolly fatman for his tastes and he is looking mildly concerned about this*

'Found themselves in...'? What do you mean?

I was in Olivine, after helping with the trenches. I woke up this morning in Cianwood, with no explanation. I must have been brought here somehow, but I cannot remember the last three days.

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

Yeah, neither can I. But I didn't think people usually got shuffled around for no apparent reason.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I also happened six months ago. Why were told that everyone had spent those days sleeping, at that time.

[video]

[solas-ion.livejournal.com]

All of Johto, sleeping for that long? One time, I could maybe understand as some crazy misdirected mass Hypnosis. Twice is just suspicious.

[ Is it just Rinoa, or does Cecil sound a little...off? ]

Hey, is everything okay?

[ video ]

[paladinlost]

[Oh god. How to break it to her gently?]

...Have you tried calling Squall, recently?

[The feed very deliberately shows Seifer playing in the water.]

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

Calling Squall? No, I haven't....should I?

[ And now that feeling of foreboding is intensifying.... ]

[ video ]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps. You might be luckier than I was.

[No chance in hell.]

[ video ]

[angelicdelights.livejournal.com]

[ ...Oh. Oh. ]

He's....gone, isn't he.

[ It's not really a question. ]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

[Guess who also ended up in Cianwood, and still trying to figure out how that happened.]

... Cecil, is that you?

[action]

[paladinlost]

It is. Hello, Ted.

[Cecil just went past the wondering part and right into the cursing Johto part.]

[action]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

Hey there. [A pause.] You okay?

[action]

[paladinlost]

...People have been disappearing, during those three days.

[Even not counting Squall's disappearance, that pretty alarming in itself.]

[action]

[souljudgment.livejournal.com]

... [Oh boy. Again, huh?] I see. [A pause as he ponders how to approach this situation. Anything he can think of right now seems rather insensitive though.]

[Kain knows that Gyarados all too well.]

I guess finding this among my belongings wasn't a mistake, then.

[He tosses a Pokéball to reveal Squall's old Scyther, Odin.]

[Action]

[paladinlost]

...They find new trainers, sometimes, when their old ones disappear. That's how I received a third of my team.

[This is Seifer's second time, even.]

[Action]

[delusorydragoon.livejournal.com]

I can only imagine that would bring heartbreak to both Pokémon and trainer. They will only remind each other of what has been lost. I'm sorry to hear that you've been affected by so much of it.

[Have you ever considered not making friends?]

[Action]

[paladinlost]

Yet knowing where they are is also a relief. The last time Squall disappeared, everyone looked desperately for Demon, until I found her in Ecruteak's Gym.

[Golbez more or less said the same thing, once! Got his ass kicked for it, too.]

[Action]

[delusorydragoon.livejournal.com]

I suppose.

[Just saying. You might have slightly better mental health if you didn't insist on befriending everyone.]

What is it that you plan on doing now?
