Anyone know a good place to buy a scarf?

[ The camera clicks on. Squall is shown sitting down against the side of the pokecenter. He's outside, watching the rain and thunder. There's a thoughtful look on his face. In his lap, his cyndaquil is napping while Squall absently pets it with one hand.

[ His other hand curiously is moving, the wrist is jerking toward one direction then the next. The fingers are flexing, specifically his index finger (as if he's pulling the trigger of a gun). His wrist turns before he makes a mock gun gesture with his hand. He lifts his index finger skyward (like the barrel of a gun) before he cocks his wrist, mouthing a single word. ]


...If only I had my gunblade.

[The laughter has stopped, but he's still smiling.]

And I suppose you also had to deal with the other monsters that showed up between the Tonberries, and the dwindling supplies you couldn't replenish, and the annoyed teammates who were getting sick of Tonberries too?

[ He was the one annoyed with the Tonberry hunting. Selphie and Zell were the ones who kept urging him to go fight more Tonberries after they KO'd Quistis and Irvine respectively. ]

Something like that.

[Overenthusiastic party members. We love them so.]

It's like when we were trying to find a Rainbow Pudding, then. None of my friends could look at a flan monster without feeling sick for weeks. Especially the pink ones.

Flan? You mean like a Blobra. Jello. Jelly, whatever.

...Pink?

They're probably mostly the same. We have around ten types of them, and they are only vulnerable to magic.

They're called Flan Princesses, and they absolutely love to enchant unsuspecting travellers, forcing them to attack themselves. But the pudding they secrete is delicious, and their tails can be harvested to make powerful armor if they are not too damaged. We ended up seeing a lot of them.

Certain elements. Only vulnerable to certain elements.

[ It differed between each Blobra he fought against ]

Malboro Tails. We went hunting for those one time. (Among other things)

Thank goodness for Scan spells, right?

Ah, Malboros. They're such a pleasure, especially when you're tired and you only want to open a treasure chest. Are their tails that useful? We never bothered with them.

They're... durable.

What type of weapons? I doubt you could make a sword out of them. ...Though that might be a very interesting design for a sword...

A Whip. We needed a few tails for Quistis's whip.

Rydia had a whip made of dragon whiskers, but we never thought about Malboros. Did it work well for her?

Very. One of the most powerful once we found the items needed to create it.

I'll have to remember that. We did see a few more powerful Malboro cousins around. They might be useful.

[Should have refined cards instead.]

Six potential Esuna casters, along with a source of remedies and ethers. Plus a few unicorn horns, just in case. We'll manage.

More than enough. Unless they attack you with Bad Breath first.

Ribbon? What would that do against Bad Breath?

They protect against all status ailments. Otherwise, you have to mix and match all sorts of armor to do so.

They do?

[ A measly ribbon does that much in other worlds? ]

...We just needed to junction spells to become immune to certain status effects.

Well, only a few ribbons of a special make do. But yes.

Junction? [That word, he is not familiar with it.]

You can equip magic, just like armor? That sounds fun. Is it hard to do?

[ ... This is exactly why he doesn't say junction that much. He hates being the in game tutorial informant ]

It's more than that. We have to equip our Summons, our GFs, mentally. That allows us to equip the spells we've drawn to strengthen ourselves and our abilities.

...It's complicated.

[He thinks about that for a while.]

...That sounds a bit like Augments. Do you have to learn them before you equip them?
