...Has anyone else ever found a particular item in the shop, and thought that it must have been placed there to taunt you? Would the Malnosso even commit such a petty act? At least it should match the pansies...

[With that said, Cecil can be found at any point on the road between the item shop and house 32, bearing... a flower in a small vase?]

They do seem to have a rather eccentric sense of humour, if it can be called that. It could simply be malice and sadism.

[Even if he sleeps on them?]

I've learned a long time ago that bureaucracy can be found anywhere. That it would also apply to the afterlife is not too surprising.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Yet they do, need or not.

[lostinmyway]

I'm sure they will. Don't worry.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

A sadistic sense of humour is better than none~

[Were she aware of the flower's origins and what not sooner, she might have found it amusing herself.

That would be awfully uncomfortable. Even so, he can't sleep forever!]

Whilst bureaucracy might be found in most places it does not necessarily mean all will work out. Were I in charge of the afterlife I would have fired that Yama's subordinate long ago for slacking off.

Cecil... I'll be fine.

[paladinlost]

There are always a few stubborn people who care little about others.

[paladinlost]

I'd much prefer it if their sense of humor was normal. Or even simply centered on bad puns.

[Unless Rydia casts Sleep on him.]

I suppose there'd be no way for you to rise up the ranks and be in charge unless you died first, in these circumstances.

[paladinlost]

Indeed you'll be, ninety-nine times out of a hundred.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

Which is most of the time.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that's just because they don't understand yet. [Hers is an optimistic nature.]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

'Normal'? How boring! I think I would much rather prefer this apparent sadistic sense of humour they have now. Though I have yet to experience any ploys and plots of the Malnosso myself yet.

[She'll just have to hit him and wake him up with a frying pa- ...jahgkjsgh!!]

I would not want to reign over the Higan anyway. If I already surpass the power of a Yama, I would see no need in becoming one myself.

[paladinlost]

...I've met quite a few people who simply refuse to do so.

[paladinlost]

If you are particularly lucky, it'll be something as simple as being transformed into a flower for a week. But quite a few of their experiments are much less kind.

[Exactly. It's the unending loop from hell.]

Not even simply to have the chance to fire that subordinate? If their work ethics cause trouble...

[Written]

[paladinlost]

Yet, that last percent... It seems to come into play much too often, for all of us.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

That doesn't sound bad at all, being a flower. Anything other than that I will just have to take in my stride, assuming anything of the sort happens to me of course.

[...Fine, Sporky Paladin. You have won. Enjoy your exp and drops.]

I could do a lot better than merely firing her if I wanted to as I am now, but why end things early? The Yama seems to keep her around only to scold her anyway.

[She's at an impasse with things back home really. Sure that subordinate can't work for peanuts, but it's her incompetence that keeps things interesting, to be blunt... But anyway.]

This is an awful tangent we have gone off at. Talking about my world when you were explaining your own originally. [Gesturing to the flower, which is honestly much more interesting than his world to her, but she's being polite. Also, a quick curtsy to serve as an introduction.] Yuuka Kazami.

[lostinmyway]

I'm sure they'll understand in the end. After all, it's very important.

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

...I don't want it to...

[paladinlost]

You have more faith in them than I do. I can think of a few hopeless cases.

[paladinlost]

However, a flower would be at the mercy of the elements, or that of the other villagers. Unless your world has plants that can defend themselves?

[...Echo Herbs, of course.]

Ah, but tangents can become the most interesting discussions, as long as they catch everyone's interest. Still, I'm forgetting my manners. My name is Cecil. Cecil Harvey.

[He bows elegantly.]

It's a pleasure to meet you.

[Written]

[paladinlost]

We'll train thrice as hard for next time, to be certain of it. We should also practice bands, just in case.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

The plants of my world cannot defend themselves, at least without my help they can't. But should any insolent villager do anything to me whilst in such a state, I shall have to repay whatever is done to me tenfold.

[Alternatively, gysahl greens!]

I guess so. I must have found some aspect of this conversation appealing to have talked for so long. [Again. That flower.] It has certainly been an 'experience' meeting you Cecil.

Additionally, would I be correct in saying you are human~? [Because he looks pretty human. And she ragged on humans before and got little to no reaction.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but you should never give up hope.

[Written]

[dragoon-pride.livejournal.com]

I agree, we could do with more intense training... and I would try more of the bands with you as well.

[paladinlost]

...Those particular beings deserve very little of it.

[paladinlost]

I'll have to tell my housemates to be very careful around flowers during experiments, then. Saving a few minutes by walking through a flower field would not be worth such reprisal.

[Those have been dummied out, actually]

I find that most meetings are interesting experiences, and so are conversations. But yes, I am indeed mostly human. Why do you ask?

['Mostly' would be the important part, of course.]
