DAY 53 - [Text]

So my fourth (yep, 4th) anniversary of being here is coming up this weekend. Normally, I’d get all sappy and nostalgic about how long I’ve been here, as well as thinking about everything that’s just normal here compared to back home. And maybe ask for suggestions for what to do to celebrate yet another year in this world.

But I picked up one of those shiny feathers lying around earlier and I rather ask about that first.

So any ideas? Speculations? It’s the first time I see feathers like this around, so I doubt it’s a normal thing that happens. When I picked it up, I don’t feel anything different so it seems harmless.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if something happened. On the other hand, it’d be kinda nice if just an odd case of sudden shiny feathers and nothing terrible will pop up to torment us. I think the only thing against that is it’s still April and Halloween’s far away. On the other hand, maybe the Forces That Be might switched things around because following traditions is getting boring and think things need to get mixed up!

[Atsuro, no.]

Still… It kind of say something that after a while, I try to pinpoint any patterns in these sorts of things. Like sure, it might make some things easier. But on the other hand, somehow, this place always find a way to really surprise you when you don’t expect it. Like when you think you get into a routine and starting to think everything’s normal? Surprise!

Or maybe the surprise this time is just these feathers. Who knows?

...This is rather rambly. The thought of my fourth anniversary is coming up still get to me. [That and the dull aching homesickness.] So I guess I want to vent out my feelings into any topic.

But I’m still open to anniversary ideas. I’m in Goldenrod right now, if that helps with thinking up suggestions!

...Do you think it’s a bad idea to use these feathers as a quill pen?

[Atsuro.]

[Compared to his post last week, this one is...reasonably less silly. After all, a glance at the date told him all he needs to know. Well, he’s reminded of it again after remembering a friend’s--who’s not even here--birthday the other day.

Hahah...yet another friend’s birthday went by.

And it was so close to his anniversary here.]

This is more for long time residents, but others can pitch in if they want.

I’ve been here for almost three years, with my anniversary being practically tomorrow. I could go all sappy and type out a lot of stuff here, but I guess I’m reminded of how long I’ve been here. Between travelling and staying in each cities for some time (a couple less than others, because not all of them are as convenient as the bigger cities).

I’m still travelling around Kanto right now, but once I’m done, I might get a house for my Pokemon and myself.

Basically, any suggestions or advices for seeking a house? Ideally somewhere where my bigger Pokemon can go around, but I can handle a good backyard for Unit 01 (my Golurk, by the way).

...Also, friendly to slimes from our slimey friends.

[HELLO, GOOMIES.]

I’m looking at either Goldenrod, Celadon or Saffron because of the department stores and/or train station.

Otherwise, well, this is Atsuro Kihara, still here for the third year in a row.

[Or...less? That time when he literally blinked out of existence for a month was still freaky as hell.]

It’s not weird to celebrate your friend’s birthday even if they’re no longer here, right?

[It’s a question from out of the blue. But Atsuro thought of it when he checked the date and remembered what’s on Tuesday. For all of his teasing, he won’t deny that he miss seeing Yuzu around. Her, him, Keisuke, Naoya... It’s just another big reminder that he’s the only one left from his world here.

Despite Yuzu not being here any more, Atsuro kind of want to make up for forgetting her birthday last year by acknowledging it in some way. What can he do? Practise Mom's recipes until this world brings her or the others here? Buy a present and hold onto it?

With a sigh, he glanced at the date again.

...Speaking of dates, the anniversary of his arrival in this world is coming soon. Just merely a few days after Yuzu’s birthday. Man, he’s been here for that long already? He thought about it sometimes, but the calendar brought it up again. He's still himself, just older. Maybe a little more mature in some aspects. After a moment to think about it, he continue typing, but about a different topic.]

Other than that, for all gamers and people who play them: Are there any classic or old school games you miss playing and we don’t already have this world’s version on the PokéGear yet?

Even if you’re not much of a gamer, or you never have video games in your world: what part of the PokéGear’s games make them enjoyable to you?

[Instead of talking about his upcoming anniversary, he stick to something else. It would lead up to a possible project...if he can get it done in before his self-appointed deadline. It'd be a good productive use of his time between his work and training his Pokemon.]
