FFXII Prompt fest
So there really isn't any way to live up to wet!naked!Basch. But I miss the constant flow of mostly hilarious little stories, so here we go with some vague attempt at round two! I couldn't decide on a topic that felt like a solid winner to me, so here are a random few that came to mind (I swear they get weirder as the list goes on

Working away on countless theories and formulas, the expert scientist of Draklor Laboratories here in Archades; found himself completely bored with the usual mundane and everyday work. Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa looked less like his vibrant and witty self today, those deep brown bags under his eyes spoke of the many late nights he's pulled since be began his work on the new Bahamut Sky Fortress. The good doctor was haggard, looking very much like his age now for all his youthfulness seems to have faded along with his lack of sleep!
Cid found himself quite disoriented this evening, nearly too tired to sit through the night again doing his calculations and sketches of the fortress' interior design.
As he sat at his desk in his dimly lit office, the doctor allowed his mind to wander a bit as his eyes scoured the office for anything that could awake his now sleeping imagination.
His gaze drifted over to a lone magazine that laid on the coffee table, a silly little travel guide that spoke of all the hot destinations that couples and bachelors alike would voyage off too during the coming Summer months.
"The Bahamas, you say...?" Cid spoke to himself as he read the fancy red and yellow font that streaked across the splendid backdrop of clear blue skies and white sandy beaches. What really caught his eye about the article was the fancy young woman who was barely wearing a thing! Much like a viera, the young lass' body was quite exposed for the naked eye to roam all about around her sensual curves. A itty-bitty, yellow, polka-dot bikini is all what separated her supple bronze tanned breasts from being fully nude to whoever the lucky fellow was who took this shot!
Perhaps it was more or less his intrigue of the pretty brunette with the polka-dot bikini that gained his curiosity, but it was more or less his whole idea of a well deserved vacation that sparked his true curiosity to see what this travel magazine was all about! Cid couldn’t even remember the last time he ever took some time off from his work and studies, a vacation seem to be in order! Flipping through the pages of the travel guide, simply eyeing all the exotic photos of the island’s luscious green palm trees and the sky blue waters; the old scientist found himself highlighting some of the text within this magazine with neon yellow marker as he stroked his chin in pensive thought.
“The Bahamas? Mhm…why not!” He was sold.

A month went by since Dr. Bunansa was last seen! It was if he vanished without a trace, simply gone from all of Archades and perhaps all of Ivalice as well! Of course, this did not sit well with many of the senior staff of the laboratory but at least one person didn’t seem so disturbed by the old scientist’s sudden leave. Fframran, in other words, was simply enjoying himself to be freed from the daunting lectures he would receive daily by his determined old man! Cid believed that his son should pursue becoming a Judge to future enhance the family’s honor and prestige along with the other high middle class families here in the Empire. Yet, of course, Fframran had other ideas than to become a Judge to please his stern lipped father. Be damned if he voiced such opinions, though, Cid would have not listened to a word he said, as usual.
“My word?! Dr. Bunansa?!” A female staff worker yelled out in the middle of the long hallway near the elevators. Fframran was just on his way to return home after spending some time with a colleague in the laboratory until actually stumbled upon a sight he never thought he could ever behold! There was he was, the said famous Cidoflus, standing there in the most lavishly loud, red, horridly colored shirt that the dear lad ever seen in his life! Tacky was not the word to describe the horrid little number his father now wore before him, not to mention those denim blue shorts just looked awful…
Then the sandals! Good God!
“Father?” Fframran called out, dressed in his usual white blouse and dark brown slacks with a ghastly pale look upon his face as he regarded his nicely tanned father. Cid really out did himself with this strange getup; he never knew his father could tan so darkly!
“Ah! Fframran!” His tone was tad too cheerful for Fframran’s liking as he stared at what must have been a poorly done clone of his wicked old man! “Long time no see! I hope you didn’t miss me when I was away!” Cid cheered as he wandered right past the female scientist and his son, dragging a medium sized suitcase behind him.
As the famous Bunansa walked past, Fframran couldn’t help but to find himself standing with his mouth gaping wide open as he stared at the retreating figure that is his father.
His father…in that vulgar scarlet shirt…
With sunflowers printed on it, no less.

I'm so picturing Cid as a pasty British tourist sitting on my local Aussie beach, burnt seven shades of umber, and in the most classless beachwear EVA.
