33rd moon [video/action]

[Today, Cecil is posting from the street right in front of the Olivine Gym. Flare is sitting beside him, looking tired but happy.]

Rosa, Rydia, are you both still well? Flare needs to rest first, but we'll soon be able to come find you. We'll not be long, I promise.

[Now that the most important thing he had to say is out of the way, he has a question for everyone else.]

Could anyone tell me more about the Mahogany and Blackthorn Gyms, along with the roads that lead to them? With the end of the road so close, it'd be a shame to stop now.

[Flare barks quickly in agreement, and Cecil ends the message.]

Considering the difference in time spent here, that's a very good level.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

You think so?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Of course. It took ages before Rosie was anywhere near that level.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

How long is ages...?

[video]

[paladinlost]

It happened in... January, I believe? Or was it February? And since I arrived at the end of August...

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... I still can't get over how long you all have been here.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Neither can I, sometimes. So many people have come and gone since then...

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... Sorry. Didn't mean to bring up bad memories.

[video]

[paladinlost]

It's fine. I still have good memories of them, after all.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

Really?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Of course. Travelling together, discussions about worlds, love and everything else, meeting in person for the first time... Even if they return with no memories, I still recall all of that.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... Even if they return with no memories, huh?

Can't you get them back?

[video]

[paladinlost]

..It could be possible. As far as I know, no one has tried it.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

Count me as the first.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...You'll be the first to do quite a lot, won't you?

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

Only if no one mans up and beats me to it. So long as it gets done, that's all that matters to me. I'm not in this for a first place award.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Luckily for you. I doubt much of a prize would come with it, other than a greater understanding of this world.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... And the memories.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Can a goal also be a prize?

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

If you let it be, sure.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...I suppose a saved world was always both, by necessity.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

... Yeah, there you go. That's a pretty obvious one.

[video]

[paladinlost]

It's also one everyone would appreciate keeping, for once.

[video]

[thebelsareinert]

At least, you can hope that.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...The people who count usually do.
