[ The feed opens to Sebastian dusting flour from his hands and his shirt, looking tired, but pleased. The second he catches sight of the 'Gear recording, however, his smile brightens into its usual pleasant and sunny mode. He sure as hell looks happier than his last transmission. ]

Ah, good afternoon, Johto. I apologize for my state. [ His 'state

[usedquidproquo]

Ah. I had heard that we may find some employment in Johto, but I did not think that butler was among the choices.

[usedcalmmind]

To my knowledge, it isn't. [ Here's that indulgent, pleasant smile again. ] I was a butler in my own world, and arrived here with my master. As such, my duties continue.

[usedquidproquo]

Ah, that must have been a pleasant surprise for the both of you. Tell me, did you both arrive together, or did one of you arrive slightly before the other?

[usedcalmmind]

Much preferred to either of us being alone, yes. He may have arrived only slightly ahead of me, as he had just left New Bark Town when I awoke there.

[usedquidproquo]

Ah, how delightful for him, then. This must seem like a mini-vacation to him, despite the rather ... nasty occurrences that appear to pop up every so often.

Is it often that something like that occurs, or is yours an extremely rare case?

[usedcalmmind]

[ Sebastian chuckles. ] The young master is not fond of vacations, I'm afraid. He has long since been frustrated with our continued presence here, and the work left unattended at home.

So far as I've heard, we're far from being the only ones to arrive with companions or acquaintances close at hand. However, just as often or more, I have heard of guests here returning to Cherrygrove to meet up with a newly-arrived friend.

Ah, the idea that time does not 'pass' at home while he's here has not fully sunk in his brain yet, I take it?

Sounds like a delight for them. Unfortunately, I have not had the pleasure of meeting any old friends here. Though I suppose it is only a matter of time until one of them shows up; or at least, that is what I hope. [ Come to him, Clarice ; u; ]

[usedcalmmind]

More to the point, he's simply impatient to resume his duties. He greatly dislikes tarrying, which, I suspect, is how he views the whole of our time here.

I do wish you the best of luck in reuniting with your companions, be it here or in your own world again.

[usedquidproquo]

Ah, quite the workaholic, is he? Perhaps he will get over it eventually. [ honestly, hannibal's in no rush to get home. VACATION TIME IS GO. ]

Thank you. I wish the same for you, if there are any others from your home that you wish to arrive here.

[usedcalmmind]

I very much doubt he'll outgrow it; he's such a serious-minded lad. [ This, said with some measure of reserved affection. ]

I thank you for your consideration, sir. [ Sebastian couldn't possibly care less about anyone else from his world. ]

[usedquidproquo]

Ah, well I suppose it is much better than him being the usual sort of children. He's a rare sort; I've met many children who would rather throw their responsibilities away. Especially in a place like this. [ oh god.

hide your kids. /shot

HAHAHAHAHA. Sebastian, y u no have friends. Hannibal simply nods at the comment. ]

[ l m a o, good thing Sebastian doesn't have a wife ]

I do find him exceptional amongst his peers, to be sure. It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that he is exceptional amongst adults, as well.

[ Is that a note of pride? Likely. ]
