54th treasure [text]

Olivine's background music has been stuck in my head since the contest. Non-stop, even when I sleep.
Please put an end to my misery. I beg you.

That bad, huh?

[At this rate, this song is going to win some kind of award, with incredible lyrics like these.]

How do you think it got stuck there?

[captainash]

Went from barely leaving Goldenrod for over a year to three days in a row in Olivine. Maybe the sudden extended change in music broke my brain.

[notvaljean]

Pffft, that'll do it!

Want me to keep playing? You could make a recording and then listen to that.

[captainash]

Please, if it's no trouble for you. A minute or two should be enough to get a good loop out of it.

[notvaljean]

Sure, no problem. I'll start over at the beginning.

[Jean waits a few moments, then starts playing again. What's strange, though, is that as he continues playing his cheerful shitkicker music, it slowly shifts into something different. Who would have possibly taught him this trick?]

[captainash]

Much appreciated, thank you.

[Sadly (thankfully?), Rick Astley is not one of those cultural references that has survived the centuries. ash is therefore unsuspectingly recording it with hope for a future free of earworms.]
