[After a short burst of static, the screen focuses on a close-up of what appears to be a nose and a mouth.]

HI

[It pans up -- now the close-up is of a single brown eye. It blinks twice, then squints slightly.]

I'M JODY AND THIS --

[Now, a pan down, and the close-up is of a Psyduck's face.]

-- IS MY PSYDUCK! Say hello, Psyduck![The face tilts

[Katie had considered asking about the "daddies" thing for a second, but it clearly overwhelmed with a) cute and b) a Psyduck.]

That's some Psyduck you've got there!

[jisforjody]

He's the best Psyduck ever! He has two arms, two legs, and a little stubby tail, and he comes everywhere with me and I don't have to ask him to! Do you have a Psyduck?

[lovesmythology]

He must love you a lot then! And yes, I do have a Psyduck too.

[jisforjody]

REALLY?

I wanna meet your Psyduck! You must be a super-cool trainer.

[bestholesever]

GWAHAHAHA! Such energy in today's youth!

[Although...]

Daddies, huh? I'm sure people would help if they knew who they were looking for!

[jisforjody]

YOU'RE SUPER-COOL LOOKING, MISTER!

[A pause, but she makes a happy little 'ghee' sound.]

Well, I'm looking for two people, and both of them are my daddies. Both were married to mummy once.

[bestholesever]

I'm not sure how cool and old man like me can be, but I'll take the compliment! Gwahahahaha! Since you've told me your name, I'll introduce myself. I'm Byron, Leader of the Canalave City Gym in Sinnoh!

[And a thoughtful pause.]

I see. Can you tell me their names, or what they look like?

[Anna is sitting on a wooden floor with Bronzong on the floor beside her, not floating but on the floor as if it were containing something within it's bell.]

Do... do you understand how Psyduck work?

(ooc: plz to be deleting my last anon!fail comment D:)

[jisforjody]

Psyduck are yellow!

[psychosublimity]

No, I mean...

[She sighs, snaps her fingers at Bronzong and he lifts up slightly to reveal Anna's Psyduck trapped underneath.]

My Psyduck doesn't like me much. You know a lot about them, so tell me what can I do to earn his trust.

[jisforjody]

Y-your Psyduck is stuck under that Bronzong!

Hello, Jody. Pray tell, who are your daddies?

Re: [text]

[jisforjody]

I have 2 daddies. Both were married to mummy, but not at the same time. mummy says she left my first daddy to protect me, and she says my second daddy left to protect us.

it's nice to meet you too!

[elite_fab]

I think there might be a reason they're gone, Jody. Are you sure you want to find them?

It is.

[jisforjody]

I'm sure I want to find them. I want to know all about them! Knowing who your daddies are is a part of growing up, isn't it? And mummy says it's time for me to grow up.

[Well, wow. Hello Jody. How are you doing and holy dang, is your face ever so close to the camera.

When that was over, Surge flipped on the video feed in the middle of the gym. Apparently he was working on the traps inside when he decided to check on the network on his break.]

Would you look at that? A pint-sized kid trainer!

You've even got some spunk in there! I think I like that!

Your daddies, though? You've got two pops?

Re: video;

[jisforjody]

Hi! You have sunglasses on! My teacher said I was spunky. She also said I'm ex-as-per-ay-ting.

I have two daddies. One left when I was little, and one left when I was really little. I'm gonna find them and we'll eat ice cream and I'll show them my Psyduck! I like my Psyduck a lot. Are you a trainer?

Re: video;

[monofamerica]

[Ha. Hahahaha. HAHAHAHA. Oh gosh, he could help but start snickering at the somewhat-clear mention of exasperation.] Haha, dunno about that second one yet, kid. Gotta see about THAT. But hell, you bet I've got sunglasses. They're some of the best, kid!

But hey, that's not bad! Don't you think you're gonna wanna see your mom, too, though, little lady? She might wanna catch a look at that Psyduck of yours! Too bad they're not that good of Pokemon, though! Might wanna try for a Pachirisu or something instead to start out!

Oh yeah! I'm Lt. Surge, Vermilion gym leader!

Re: video;

[jisforjody]

HEY! My Psyduck's the best Pokemon! That's not very nice of you to say! You're a big meanie.

'Sides, mummy's seen Psyduck before. She doesn't like it in the house, 'cause it tracks mud in.
