Day 41 [video]

[seasaltkeys]

[The video opens on a sunset, though it's a bit hard to see. Roxas has climbed onto the roof of the pokemon center, since that seems to be the tallest building around in Mahogany. After a moment, Roxas's hand moves into the camera, holding a newly won Glacier badge. He admires it, and the way it glitters in the sunlight. He hasn't won a badge in a while, so this is a feel good moment.]

Just one more to go. For Johto anyway.

It's too bad Mahogany town doesn't really have taller buildings. You can't really see the sunset from here.

[There's a pause]

Haven't heard this music in a long time.

Really!? They all look diffurent?

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, they do!

[Give him a minute, he's going to get his badges case. And soon you can see the other six badges he's won.]

These are all the badges I have.

[railsb4pails]

Oh wow! I didn't know they all looked diffurent! Do you always go to the roof when you get one?

[seasaltkeys]

You haven't seen the badges before?

But yeah, I guess I do. Or a tall building. Kind of a tradition.

[railsb4pails]

Nope! I keep hearing about them but I haven't actually seen them!

Tradition? Did you do that back home too?

[seasaltkeys]

They're pretty special. They show how strong of a trainer you are, and if you get them all you can challenge the champion.

Sort of. When I was done work, my friends and I would go up to this clocktower to eat ice cream and watch the sunset. I sort of have to make do these day.

[railsb4pails]

Oh! That's why my furriends have been getting them! That makes sense. [giggle]

That's cool! Do you still do that with your furriends when they're around?

[seasaltkeys]

If I can, yeah. I mean, I'm still travelling with one of them so we usually do it afterwards.

[railsb4pails]

Oh wow! That must be nice! I hope you find a really supurr tall building next time!

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah. Hopefully there's a good one in Blackthorn city.
