...This. Isn't Cherrygrove.

[ Squall looks up and stares at the wtf pixelated buildings and people of Ecruteak City. Besides him is Suzuki. Seems like the two of them somehow ended up here of all places. :|b

[ The SeeD tilts his head to the side, eyes closed momentarily as he listens to the background before scoffing. ]

The damn music is still playing. Even here. (There goes that plan. Actually thought walking around might actually... make it go away.)

[ He turns to look at Suzuki, eyebrow raised. ]

Any idea where we are?




[[ooc; Suzuki and Squall ended up talking for a long time, somehow ended up in Ecruteak. :Db and this is forward-dated to tonight. ]]

[ A shrug ]

Does it matter if we did or did not?

[video]

[paladinlost]

I suppose it does not. We were asking ourselves how far we could get before the world returns to normal. I believe you have an impressive headstart.

Did you see Zidane, Bartz, Tidus or Cloud at any point today?

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen them at all.

Saw on the pokegear that Zidane, Bartz and Tidus were in Cherrygrove earlier but I was too busy to reply.

[ Working in a restaurant leaves little free time, Cecil. ]

No idea about Cloud.

[video]

[paladinlost]

I hope they catch up quickly.

[Hey, he works full-time at the Pokémart and he still managed to treat the three of them to lunch or dinner.]

He should have reached Cherrygrove by now, but I haven't heard from him since he arrived.

It's possible... He might have gotten further ahead like I did by accident.

[ His shifts coincide with Rush hour, Cecil, dammit. And if he's not there, he's training.. Or hiding in his room while recovering from his cold from earlier. >>; ]

He'll be fine.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Don't you have to go through a cave and a forest to go to Goldenrod and beyond?

[Seriously, how do you miss that?]

At least we know he can take care of himself.

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

I think so.

[ Honestly, he was too busy talking with Suzuki and spending time with her to really pay attention. Even if they weren't really talking that much at all in the first place. It was... nice to spend time with someone who had a similar personality to his. Real nice.

[ And quiet. He could inner monologue in peace if he wanted. And Hyne knows he could lose track of time and surroundings if he spent too much time in his head thinking. ]

[video]

[paladinlost]

Well, at least the local Pokémon should be stronger than those around Cherrygrove. This could be a good training opportunity.

[If it made Squall happy, then Cecil approves.

...How did they get past the Sudowoodo?]

video;

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

It would be.

[ Sudowoodo? Oh you mean that tree they couldn't get passed... Yeah, they went up north, not east. Apparently going north on Route 36 is still possible. ]

Actually, there's something else that might be considered a good opportunity.

[ Squall's lips are twitching, Cecil. Seems like you just gave him an idea. ]

You're in Violet with the others, right?

[video]

[paladinlost]

Is that so? What is it?

I am. It's a good thing, too. I had promised to buy Miss Kisa some ice cream weeks ago, and I was supposed to trade her a Pokémon for one of her Growlithe's eggs. I managed to do so much earlier than I thought.

video;

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

You'll see. Provided I can manage it. Both Suzuki and I.

Which pokemon did you trade for the egg?

[video]

[paladinlost]

I'll expect an update on this, then.

A Staryu I caught last night in Cherrygrove. I had some trouble catching it, but a star-shaped Pokémon should suit a young girl. [Unless of course the mods say no.]

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

A starfish pokemon? Didn't know that existed.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Honestly, between the letters and the animated rocks, the starfish was not very surprising. But it did seem harder to find than the other Pokémon in the water. I mostly stumbled upon it by accident.

video;

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

Haven't seen it at all in Cherrygrove before but... it makes sense there would be a starfish in that water. Somewhere.

[video]

[paladinlost]

We could probably find equivalents for every type of animal or monster, if we looked long enough.

video;

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

Probably.

Are you and the others staying in Violet or are you going to keep moving? Suzuki and I are going to try and backtrack soon.

[video]

[paladinlost]

We'll probably stay here. We still have not heard from Zidane, Bartz or Cloud, so I intend to try and meet them before they end up somewhere like Goldenrod. Besides, there will be a festival here in a week, with Pokémon battles and games. It sounds fun.

video;

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

Festival?

[ He didn't hear anything about any festival... ]

[video]

[paladinlost]

It was organized by fellow trainers. They said it will take place between the eigth and the tenth of next month. I know there are events in Violet and Azalea, but there might be a few elsewhere. They asked for help with food a while back, so there probably will be kiosks or a buffet. Doesn't it sound interesting?

video;

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

I guess...

[ Squall shrugs. Festivals were never his thing but... who knows maybe it will be a nice change and maybe he'll finally see what it was about Festivals that made Selphie so eager to host them. ]

[video]

[paladinlost]

With the world turning blocky, the stagnant weather and the kidnappings, something as cheerful and positive as a festival should do us all much good.

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

Pixelated, Cecil. Everything is turning into pixels except for... us.

[Video]

[paladinlost]

Pixelated, then. Pixelated and eye-searing. And for all we know we might also end up affected later.

video;

[solidbarrels.livejournal.com]

Or we won't. Thus far it's only the world around us being affected.
