No good, they don't have... How does this even work? I'll stay away from it for now...

[Rummaging noises come from the journal, numerous but careful. It sounds like someone is exploring the item shop.]

I apologize for bothering everyone, but could anyone recommend objects that are helpful to a household? Specifically, objects that are necessary for a new arrival or that can keep the house organized and clean. I'm not familiar with most of the products I find here, and I'd rather not bring anything that is useless or dangerous home. I'd be most thankful for your help.

[He falls quiet, and for a few moments only the sounds of items being moved can be heard. It appears his message is over, but-]

Also, Ceodore. What blade are you currently using?

[With that, his post is truly over.]

How long do they last, compared to candles?

A lot longer, it seems. We shouldn't have to replace them for a couple of months, maybe later than that.

That'S quite impressive. If only we could create such efficient candles...

Maybe through some kind of magic....

[Because high technology is related to magic, somehow.]

Or perhaps by mixing the wax with something? We'd have to ask a candlemaker for details.

Possibly, but either way we have a lot of conveniences here. Less drudgery and more doing what we would rather do, right?

At the very low price of drafts and experiments?

[She laughs, wryly.]

Hardly a low price, but if you only dwell on the negative, this place is bound to drive you mad. Enjoy the good that comes with it, at least until we can find a way to leave.

I'll think of lights that need not be replaced and of the great lack of local monsters, then.

Or monsters that only appear if we want them. The battle dome is a real boon, compared to what we had before.

We'll truly have to visit it all together, one of these days. What did you have before?

Kain and I have visited the Lunar Subterrane a lot, as well as Mount Ordeals.

[Big surprise.]

We also revisited the Sealed Cave and the Giant of Babil...and plenty of other places you know. I could also show you how it was in the previous drafts, by recreating what was there, or we could even try a scenario from a completely different world.

That would be an excellent idea. I'll also be able to show you a few more locations, if you teach me how to do so. I already told Kain I'd introduce him to a few interesting monsters we've recently met.

[Moon, moon, more moon, until everyone is sick of it.]

[Endless moon time is a small price to pay for quality time with Cecil.]

I'd like that very much, Cecil! It's pretty easy to change the scenarios to your liking, once you get the hang of it. Some new locations would do us good...and you could show us more of your Bands, perhaps?

Of course I could. If possible, we should try all those we can use, even the one that involves your summoning powers. That means we'll have to bring my brother along, too.

I won't protest Golbez coming along. We work well enough together, though the same can't be said of Golbez and Kain...to put it mildly. He might listen if you mention it's for the sake of the drafts, but....

...Well, that will make that one Band rather troublesome to try. Teamwork is an important component, after all.

Which one do you mean, Cecil?

Spiral Blow. It's theirs, but it won't work if they cannot cooperate.

[A moment of silence, since it's hard to imagine them getting along for anything, let alone that.]

Hm. Perhaps if it was presented to Kain as a challenge, but...I'm not sure even that would get his attention. It's probably best to try the other ideas, first.

Even if they refuse to do so at first, it's fine. Kain can attempt his and Ceodore's, and Golbez and I can use a few. And we'll definitely create one for you and Kain.

I'd love that, Cecil. And you and I should come up with one, one that won't need my summoning.

That's part of my goal. Though until we manage to do so, you'll still be able to use one with Ceodore.

Thunder Wave? We've practiced that a few times, though I think we could get even better. That's something we can work on in the battle dome, too.

Practicing often cannot hurt. Goodness knows it took ages before the timing for Final Fantasy came naturally.
