What's wrong with oatmeal? [ ... and on a more important note. ] Ah, anyways - you're new to Mayfield, right?

It's gross! It's sticky and it makes me gag!

[And then he makes some gagging noises into the phone to demonstrate. Hooray for being 8.]

...a-and, yeah. I'm new to Mayfield. Though the family in my house keep saying I've always lived here.

That's pretty weird.

But... don't you think it tastes good? Especially if you put other stuff in with it.

[ ... ] Ah, yeah... that's what all the drones will say.

It can taste however it wants! It feels gross.

[There is harumphing.]

...it's not true, right? They don't know what they're talking about, right?

[Oh no.

OH NO. He had ALWAYS SUSPECTED THIS.]

I won't! I totally won't eat the oatmeal!

[Why shouldn't he trust the voice on the phone? It was trying to be helpful!]

What else should I know? What else?

[Poor Picky. Poor, trusting Picky.]

What? Bugged?!

[There's the sound of a lot of flailing around on the other end. And some flapping. And some stomping. And then, the voice of an irritated drone-mom.]

"Picky! Put your clothes back on this instant!"

...o-okay.

[And there is more rustling. And additional delay. Until finally, the kid speaks again.]

I-I think I got all the bugs out.

[Hi Pickey! Ozma's just come bustling out of the the bakery, complete with a nice bundle of goodies. She peers around the corner at him, and offers a sort-of smile.

You can bet she recognizes the resemblance.]

Looking for something?

[Picky startles and steps back when Ozma addresses him. He had been watching her, sure at first that she was one of the drones. Oops.]

N-no! Just... just watching things. People. Just watching people.

[He can hardly be blamed for that- Ozma doesn't struggle against the culture of the town like most of the others do, and blends in fairly well. Luckily though, she's friendly enough, and a real smile spreads across her face now.]

You happen to be in one of the best places for that then.

I don't know... most of the people seem normal. But some of them...

[He looks all around, anxiously. Pokey's warnings and some of the stranger kids in the lunch room had put him on edge.]

...I'm just being careful.

[If Picky is to pass by the park this afternoon, he may come across a large bird fighting with a flaming monkey.]

B - I went and drew an icon JUST FOR THIS imjustpicky October 24 2011, 05:11:54 UTC
[Yup. That is indeed a large bird fighting with a flaming monkey.

HOLY COW.

This is SO FREAKIN' COOL.

However, Picky is bad at verbalizing these things, and is currently standing there, jaw slack, watching this giant bird vs. fire monkey showdown with awe.]

Pffff... Nice. 10_year_old_kid October 24 2011, 05:28:32 UTC
Fern... AAAAAAPE!!

[As the ape spews flames from its mouth at the bird, Picky may notice a boy and his oversized yellow mouse on the sidelines.]

Yeah, keep it up! Staraptor, dodge and use your Aerial Ace! Infernape, Dig!

[A big burning monkey and an equally large bird are pretty attention-grabbing. However, the voice calling out commands seems like a pretty good clue in the grand mystery of "what the hay is going on, here." He turns his head, spots the boy with the little yellow creature, and sidles quickly on over.

He's making sure to give the fighting animals a wide, wide, wiiiiiide berth.]

Oh wow oh wow OH WOW that's AMAZING.

.... Wait... your name is Picky Minch?

[Uh oh. Pokey had already told him to not mention his name. There's some incoherent stammering on the line.]

N-no!

[And then? Blatant lies.]

You're not very good at lying. But that's okay. Your brother is a friend.

....

[It could be the truth. OR IT COULD BE A TRICK.]

Oh yeah? How do I know you're not really just out to get him?
