Eighth Transmutation | [video/action for Ecruteak] GIT GUD

[armoredsoul]

[The video comes on to Alphonse grinning widely and holding up a nice, sparkly new Fog Badge to the camera.]

I did it! I really did it, I got the badge! I mean, my team was way higher level than his, but still--!

[Behind Alphonse, a Liepard jumps up to put his paws on his trainer's shoulders and gives Al a lick on the cheek...then sneezes a glowing feather off his nose.]

Ah hah, Cecil, jeez! --oh, yeah, are these feathers falling anywhere else? They're all over town, and there's nothing in the sky that should be dropping them...at least that I can see.

Action

[armoredsoul]

[Cecil was about to start nosing into the bag when Yukio starts petting him, and thankfully he's distracted by that and butts his head against his hand, purring.]

Probably, but waiting on doing the challenge like I did is probably out of the norm, right? At least that's the impression I got. Though if someone native to this world lived in Goldenrod before they started, it'd make more sense to challenge Whitney and Buggsy before starting with Falkner...

Action

[ Oh no... way to make him think of Kuro, Cecil. But hey, have a quick earscratch anyway. ]

And we've got all this time on our hands. They're probably used to trainers having higher than the recommended teams battling them.

[ So... that's Ecruteak down... ]

Olivine next?

Action

[armoredsoul]

[Cecil purrs louder, then sticks his nose in the bag again to get a better sniff--ooh, a full heal? Yoink.]

Probably. He certainly has the tactics to give higher-level teams plenty of trouble!

[Al nods, pulling a small travelogue out of his pocket and flipping it open.]

Uh-huh! I was figuring we could head out next week, spend a little more time enjoying the sights before moving on.

Action

That's fine. It isn't like we're in too much of a hurry. I'm sure Rin would-- hey!

[ And Yuki finally turns his attention away from the travelogue and back to his shopping bag just in time to see one of the full heals being filched. ]

Looks like Cecil's already picked out one of the things I got for you while I was out.

[armoredsoul]

Ah--Cecil! No!

[Cecil trots back over to Al with a satisfied look, purring and keeping that full heal all to himself while his trainer heaves a sigh. At least he didn't go for the Gear this time...]

Why can't you keep your paws to yourself...but thank you, Yukio! I appreciate the thought.

[in_praetego]

Not a problem. I thought you might need a few since Morty's got all those ghost types.

[ He looks amused, at least. ]

And don't worry about it. Cecil kind of reminds me of my father's familiar.
