Well... that's certainly one way to get rid of them. We did say we wanted fire...

[Not quite in that way, but still.]

[paladinlost]

I did not think I needed to ask for controlled, carefully aimed fire!

[As far as Flare is concerned, though, if Cecil wants better fire he'll have to breathe it himself. Aiming at flying bees is hard!]

[dragoon_pride]

But it's just what we needed, isn't it?

[Kain busies himself with swatting away more of the pesky bees, trying to keep them from getting in his face, or worse, into his hair. It's quite the annoying thing to deal with.]

Is there no end to them?

[paladinlost]

Just as much as there is an end to Mount Ordeals' undead population.

[His tone would be very dramatic, if he wasn't hissing at the closest bee at the same time.]

[dragoon_pride]

[Kain continues swatting the air, a sense of dread overcoming him when Cecil mentions his oh so favorite place and his oh so favorite class of enemy... Oh god did it get tedious fighting them, every single day.]

Wonderful. And zombies have come to hold a special place in my heart... the part that loathes things, that is.

[paladinlost]

That particular part is being quite overused these, days, I'd bet. You should let it rest a little.

[Maybe walk down to the chocobo forest at the foot of the mountain. Chocobos are nice, and they don't try to kill people.]

just new journal time :)

[dragonsgrasp]

[Great, seems like the bees are going awa- ahhhh stop that, go away!! Kain finds himself trying to evade a couple more of the pesky things as he frowns a little. He definitely can't deny that Cecil is right.]

Believe me, I would do anything for a little variety up there. The undead are boring, and they smell...

Ohhh, smells fresh and new! :)

[paladinlost]

Please, do not speak of smells. My yard is invaded by sentient poisonous sludge often enough, I'd rather not be reminded that it could be worse.

[Not that they're around today, smart ugly critters that they are.]

unlike the zombies, hahaha :D

[dragonsgrasp]

The terrible thing is that I've almost become desensitized to it, with only the undead as company for so long...

[Yeah wow, Kain really needs to get off that damn mountain, he's getting used to chilling out among skeletons and zombies all the time, help.]

But foul-smelling, sentient sludge? I take it that these are worse than dealing with flan...

The zombies come with a slight burnt aroma the account lacks, though.

[paladinlost]

For worse, and without even the hope of earning some delicious pudding if we win. Not that I'd eat pudding pried from a Grimer's corpse...

[That would be just asking for pain and death and flashbacks to his Pokémon's cooking attempts.]

yep exactly! :D just a little too crisp

[dragonsgrasp]

No, I can't say that sounds at all appealing, even after a long while of being on the road and eating whatever you can manage to hunt.

[Yeeeeah he'd avoid it if he can.]

Which is great for zombies! Not so much for accounts.

[paladinlost]

I'd rather try my luck with the berries, if only because their unpleasant side effects are well-documented. Such a pudding could do anything if I ate it.

[Except turn him into a toad or a pig. He thinks.]

nope not at all!

[dragonsgrasp]

These berries have no magical affects on the one who eats them? That's... rather fortunate. There's nothing worse than spending a few hours unexpectedly as some animal...

[Which was all the incentive needed to never piss off Rydia or Palom, along with avoiding odd things to eat.]

[paladinlost]

Magical they may not be, but hallucinations and arthritic pains are never pleasant. neither are fevers or swollen throats, for that matter.

[Magical they may not be, but nice they sure aren't.]

[dragonsgrasp]

That sounds like a terrible ordeal to go through... all the more reason to be wary of unfamiliar plants, then.

[Unfamiliar anything, really. He can imagine it taking a lot of time to learn what's actually edible on a new world.]

[paladinlost]

And that's without taking into account the ones that are sentient and willing to fight back.

[Those Tropius bananas are worth the fight, though.]

[dragonsgrasp]

Are there a lot of those in this world?

[Just one more nuisance to deal with, sentient plants...]

[paladinlost]

Dozens upon dozens of families, each containing thousands of members. You can hardly enter a forest without stepping on one.

[And yet he sounds delighted.]

[dragonsgrasp]

So then walking through a forest must be an incredible challenge... that almost sounds exciting. Probably annoying at times, too.

[He'd appreciate an added challenge, but only so much.]

[paladinlost]

It's also useful, if you need a brand new bug or plant to train quickly. And simple, if you happen to have a Fire-type with you.

[And a willingness to risk burning down a whole forest in your heart.]

[dragonsgrasp]

I take it the fire idea is something to be used only with extreme caution.

[Yeaaah no, let's not burn things down again, man! That sort of plan didn't go so well that one time.]

[paladinlost]

With very careful aim, and with a Water-type on hand too.

[He still sees some of the scorch marks whenever he visits Mist. He does not visit often.]

[dragonsgrasp]

Ah, yes, I should have known. You have them for every element, don't you?

[He's so with him on that. Burning everything down is never the answer.]

[paladinlost]

Of course. How else would I ensure a splendid victory over my opponents?

[With those max levels/crazy movesets/years of experience, maybe?]

[dragonsgrasp]

I take it you're already a top contender in any battles to be had here? I would expect no less.

[Yeah it all may seem strange, the way they fight but he can imagine Cecil mastering it anyway, given enough time.]
