Seventh Spell: In Azalea Town. Text [open to voice/video].

[behindblueskin]

Getting to Azalea Town took a little longer than Keldor expected it to. Between fog so thick that traveling on foot was inadvisable due to the high likelihood of possible injury from unseen hazards, drizzle and just general cold that comes with the change in season, what would normally take a week to travel the route to Azalea ended up nearly taking two.

[Which gave the Stantler he'd rescued not that long ago time to catch up to him and practically beg to join up with him in gratitude.]

But he got here anyways, and wasted no time in visiting the Pokemon Centre to heal up his 'mons and in getting himself a room to rent, just so he could get warm again [cold weather is not something Keldor is used to]. Which took another few days just to get the chill out of his bones.

Currently Keldor's sitting in one of the local Tim Hoothooton's, enjoying what passes for coffee in these parts. It's not great [really it's better as a handwarmer and a source of caffeine than it is a drink], but he does rather enjoy the small, sweet round bits of baked goods he got to go along with the coffee [he'll get more of them before he goes].

As he does this, he types out his message.

I shall make this as brief as possible. The season of cold is about to start, and with all the equipment I need to carry it would be difficult to have to carry it all myself. Would it be better to have one's pokemon carry some of it, or would obtaining a vehicle be more ideal?

Pause. He had been drafting up a design for a small vehicle like a cart that could have both wheels and skids so it could be used year round, but maybe someone has a better idea.

What have you used in the past, those of you who have resided here longer?

[crystalmaster]

[Yes! And leaving Radley's fate up in the air in the anime or sending him to prison in the game.]

I hope that too, for both of us.

[behindblueskin]

[I wonder where becoming some demon's skull-headed meat puppet ranks in terms of "awful fates". But maybe I'm getting off-topic.]

Perhaps, though, it is a thing to contemplate for another time. I have other plans that I need to work on first.

[crystalmaster]

[That is one of the worst fates I've heard of, definitely.]

Yeah. I have more immediate problems to deal with too.

[behindblueskin]

[Poor Keldor. Canon doesn't love him.]

What sorts of problems? Are they the kind you might require assistance with?

[A friend in need and all that.]

[crystalmaster]

[Indeed. Ugh.]

Oh, nothing serious other than just missing everyone.

[Radley smiles wistfully.]

Things here are pretty good right now.

[behindblueskin]

Ah. Yes. Companionship. We all need it now and then. Especially the familiar kind.

[The kind he himself has been thinking about and missing as of late.]

[crystalmaster]

We sure do.

[He pets his Pokemon as he talks.]

I miss my friends from home so much, it's hard to stand it sometimes. But I also can't stand being apart from these sweethearts.

[His Pokemon snuggle him.]
