Hmm, has it really been a month since I first started my trip. Haha, I guess I stayed out longer than I planned. [just smiling away yes he was lost out there...plus side adventures due to the recent events]

Oh, I almost forgot. Alice, Little Alice, and other Alice? [yes, he means you, PH!Alice] Alice had requested me to bring back some cactus flowers, and I picked a few extras.

[he holds up one of the said flowers for a moment before lowering] I'll be over at Julius' soon, so you can come over and pick them up if you wish. Unless you want me to bring them to you. [and have the risk of him getting lost again]

Miss Noel? There's one for you as well if you want it. It's for helping other Alice and I kill those sharks the other day. [and he had an extra]

And I didn't forget about you, Julius! [biiiig smile as he holds up a small potted cactus. ...it has a flower?] They're pretty easy to take care of. Maybe you should start your own garden. [and he just smiles away~]

[the screen flickers for a moment before it's held back by a cloaked figure. the identity cannot be determined due to the hood, but there's one thing that could be deciphered: the person was covered in blood.

after a few more seconds, a rather cheerful voice is heard, the hood pulled down to reveal Ace's smiling face]

There we are! I was afraid the Dreamberry had been broken. I tried contacting people for the past week but I couldn't get anything. I guess I had ventured too far out, haha. [it's more of a miracle he managed to find his way back within reception distance]

Julius! Do you know how to properly grill shark meat? [he now holds up the dismembered head of one of the sand sharks by his free hand. the rest of its slashed up corpse could be found behind him, as well as a tent and fire place nearby. it's now apparent that Ace has been and still is out somewhere in the desert] I tried roasting it over a fire last night, but it was still rather tough. Maybe it needed more salt...

[smilesmile] Though if anyone else wants some, there's plenty! I should be bringing it back soon. [read: in a few days if he's lucky.]
