So, I was exploring this Savannah planet, and I heard a rustling from one of the dry bushes and high grass near me. Thought maybe it was one of the monsters that prowled the area, so I took a few steps back so I could get a good look at it before it pounced me. I saw a flicker of flame on a red tail, and I swear I let out the biggest shout since...Well, this was a happy shout. Nanaki popped his head out of the grass, and flashed me a grin, and I matched his. Heh. I sat down next to him and shared some of my lunch with him, he instantly caught the scent of Tifa and the kids, and Yuffie, too. He asked me if I knew where the others were, but I knew as much as he did on their whereabouts.

I asked him if he knew what happened on the Shera, and Nanaki was as in the dark as the rest of us. He woke up on this planet, occasionally making contact with a people called the Fenerox, who seemed to understand his body language more than the small colony of humans that tend to either run away or try to chase him off with whatever weapons they have on them. He seemed almost as exasperated with humans as that day we first met. I pat him on the back and told him if he doesn't mind the rain, he can stay on our planet, and he jumped on the offer.

Yuffie about tackled him to the ground when he appeared in the teleporter, screaming his name and shaking the poor guy about. The tenants weren't sure what to make of him at first, but quickly came to ease at his presence as he spoke to them. The Floran thinks he talks too much, and laughed when he said he agrees. Heh. Chachuoc seems to have taken a definite liking to Nanaki, inviting him over to discuss whatever they fancy. Guess they're making fast friends, and I'm glad. Tifa and the kids are delighted to have him back, too. I remember when he'd come by and nap in front of the bar, sometimes scaring a patron.

We aren't really sure what kind of home to make for him just yet, so he just stays at our home and usually sleeps by the fireplace. He's in front of me right now as I write this, watching me and sometimes striking up a conversation about his travels on this planet. Sometimes he'll leave for a day or so and come back when he feels like it, and if that's what he wants to do here I'm not gonna stop him. I think I'll use some of the dry earth and cobblestone from that planet and try to make something similar to his room in Cosmo Canyon, maybe he'll like that? He does.

Anyway, I visited the human colony with him before teleporting back up. They weren't quite sure what to think when I showed up with what they had assumed was dangerous fauna...When he spoke, they nearly fell over. I guess that'll never get old, for me at least. They didn't have too much in the way of supplies, in fact they needed food as they waited for their first crops to come in. I told them I can trade some food for pixels or something else if they were low on that too. Got some space heaters and a handful of pixels from the exchange, and they have enough food to keep them until their on their feet. I came by once more to exchange, their crops seem to be coming in just fine, fortunately.

I found a curious metal on this planet, titanium...I can use this for all sorts of stuff, including upgrading the EPP. I took as much as I could possibly find over several days...I also took a look around the area, and I found this strange place filled with palm trees that have rainbow wood. Seriously, the wood is colored like a 's flowers sprouting all over the place, too...Marlene would love this place. I found some grape plants, and I planted that in some new plot near the house, so maybe we'll have a new juice or a jelly soon. I found a rainbow cape, and Marlene adores it, wearing it everywhere.

I couldn't find something that suited Denzel, so I told him the next day he could join me while I explored the planet. He really loves to explore with me I think, because he jumps at the chance. Maybe I should take him with me more often? I guess he'll need an EPP too. Well, we were exploring the surface a bit and we came across a Fennix, a red, fire breathing fox-like creature. They're cute but dangerous. Denzel charged at it before I had a chance to stop him, whacking it a few times with that spear I found a while ago. Then, before I can charge in, he drops this pod and captured the damn thing. He had the biggest grin on his face when he picked it back up, whooping at his success. I took a look at the device he had, and he said it's a capture pod Azalea gave him for 'ssstabbing the glorp good'.

Well, so long as he keeps care of the Fennix and it doesn't burn the damn house down Denzel can keep his new companion. He named it Pyre after asking us all for some fire based words. I guess that works, doesn't it? He's been teaching it to spit fire at monsters, and while the Florans are impressed with his beast handling talents, they're obviously wary of fire. If I were a plant I would be too...Hell, I'm wary of fire regardless.

So, that's what's been happening lately. I'm gonna finish up exploring this system and then go on to a more interesting one...Not that it hasn't been interesting already. I got some more supplies for more tenant buildings, too, so I'll probably work on that after Nanaki's home is finished. Here's to a pleasant week ahead.
