[It's a cool day, a few hours past sunrise, when Ramza turns on his camera feed - well, and then places it in the mouth of his Skarmory. He's got many things this land has given him to think about.
But one keeps bubbling up - and, so, Ramza has made his way to the Cherrygrove beach, sitted with an egg in his lap. Even if today is an important day... well, Ramza has gotten his rest. He's actually got the urge to move on.]


Recently, I've spoken to another person from another land - and, he said my manner of speech was... off, in many ways. 'Tis true, I've not heard the nurses and shopkeepers speak like this... is it really that odd, however? We've all come from different lands - would it be less... odd, to try and speak like the natives.

[A pause, as he does shift, slightly. He's got another question.]

My first capture, when I arrived, was a Hoothoot, who I named Hildegard. She proved good, in both training Sevrin, and on her own. But, now she's evolved - she's taller then I. Is that common, in evolu--
[That interuption? Suddenly, the egg in Ramzas' arms is glowing... and there is suddenly a Dratini there, curling around him. It looks like quite the common Dratini, except for the mark under the horn.


With a slight grunt, Ramza shifts so the Dratini is less... trying to strangle him, trying to wrap around him. Yes, he looks that awkward.]
Seems you waited until an important day to hatch - are you trying to say something, or is it just another coincidence? Ah - that reminds me. Though I suppose birthdays are common to celebrate, has anybody here brought important days from their land to the people of this land?
[He gives a full lineface, before reaching and turning off the video feed.]

[A little after that post, Ramza is coming to get you, Walter. >| He is ready to leave, if you are. To be honest, though? His lineface has the slightest of frowns, his walk the slightest of limps. Guess who took an Iron Tail, off-camera?]
I'd not thought it'd rebel, straight out of the egg.

I imagine that's because our words are automatically translated the moment we arrive here. It would make sense for different languages to sound different, and whatever is causing this might be taking that into account.

We are. People used to try and understand how it happens, but I suppose everyone has become used to it by now.

[That's the case about a lot of things in this world. Too many of them.]

You're welcome. Having you found yourself to work, to be able to afford the ticket? It's quite expensive for newcomers.

...Believe me, you'll be making that mistake for some time still. I spoke of Gil instead of PokéDollars for almost six months, even when serving shoppers.

[...Wait, hang on a second, he could swear there's something strange about that...]

It does, and so did the world where my comrades and I fought together, and so do all of their homes, for that matter.

[A beat.]

...It's a surprisingly common currency, it seems.

I was once part of my country's army. That's as warrior-like as it gets.

[That, and the whole paladin thing.]

Large birds known as Chocobos can also be found in quite a few lands, though not always in the same colors. Perhaps that depends on their environment.

I was Lord Captain of our airship fleet. It was fascinating work.

[Until they started attacking town.]

Red Chocobos? We have white ones instead. And I'd say Doduos resemble them even more, if you ignore the second head. Or perhaps if you had a bird that was halfway between Skarmory and Doduo...

'Cecil' is fine.

[Especially when addressing a current sales assistant.]

They decided that my talents would be more useful in public service. It's useful work, certainly, but it's also less interesting.
