[Hello network! Have a bright looking Molly, sitting cross-legged on what looks like the floor of her hotel room, with the side of the bed as a backdrop. Curled up in her lap is an adorable very recently hatched Amaura, who is nonetheless quite alert and looking up at Molly as she sets the video up.]

-- okay, there.

[She sits back and waves, and then pets the ice dinosaur, looking down at him.]

Look! It's so cool that there are dinosaurs here. Even if they're not really dinosaurs.

He took a long time to hatch so I wonder if he'll grow really slowly too. And then get really big.

[Ice dino makes a soft noncommitical (probably) sound. Molly is lost in amazement that she now owns an ice dino for like a second before she looks up at the video again with another kind of smile; a more searching, curious one.]

Okay, I wanted to ask something. I know a lot of people have a lot of pokémon, but you can only have six with you, right? So you put the rest in the computer.

Does anybody know what it's like for them there? People told me that time stops back home when we're here so maybe it's kind of like that for them?

I have six now and it's so weird to think about putting them somewhere that isn't really here.

And how do you pick which ones to put in there anyway?

[Another little pause,]

Oh and I know it's really rainy right now but if anybody wants to do anything or say hi to Jay you can call me.

[Bye network!]

With psychic types, you can understand them. They can talk into your mind and stuff.

Really?

Like telepaths?

Aria's never done it to me.

I think for some you have to train them, and others are just shy! Even mine don't really do it unless I nudge 'em to.

What kinds do you have that can talk to you?

Well, there's my Solrock and my Lunatone... My pair of Meowstics don't really like to talk as much as they give me headaches, sometime, but I think that's just because they're quiet.

_{[Wait hang on and let her try to parse this.]}

You mean like ... do they talk into your head?

_{[Said kind of slowly cause can it be?]}

Oh, yeah! Because they're psychic types.

Could you read minds back where you're from?

Cause Aria's psychic but I can't hear her, but maybe if you could do that anyway ...

No.

Well. Not exactly? It wasn't reading minds. I could connect my soul to other people's, 'tho.

_[!!!!]

What, really?

How did you do that?

I'm a meister! [He practically puffs up in pride.] We're people who can train our souls to resonate with others! Usually with other people who can turn into weapons, who become our partners!

_[whaaat]

What do you mean? People don't turn into weapons.

Some do where I'm from. It's, like, genetic or something. Sometimes it appears in the grannies, skips a generation, and then the kids got it- I think my friend Soul is like that. He's the first weapon in his family since ages ago.

Okay, but ... you don't mean like a real weapon, right? You mean they have powers.

Well. They have powers.

And that power is literally turning into a weapon. Like, my friend Soul? He can turn into a scythe. I know Kim can turn into a flamethrower kind of thing. My teammate Harvar is a spear.

_{[GIVE HER A SECOND as she takes a moment to process that.]}

Wow. That's so weird.

I guess so... In different parts of the world, they can get a really bad rep just because people will freak out at that kind of thing. I knew a pair of sisters who got so much crap for it before they came to the DWMA....

Which sucks, because they're awesome people, you know?

Well ... people are scared of what they don't understand.

_{[The way she says it shows that this is what someone told her, once.]}

What's the DWMA? Is that like a good place for them?

Yeah....

Anyway, it's the Death Weapons and Meisters Academy. It's pretty good! It teaches people how to use their abilities. Like, if you're a Weapon, it teaches you how to properly transform and make it so that you don't get yourself hurt. If you're a Meister, then it helps you know the deal with souls and how to work with Weapons.

_{[Frowning slightly.]}

So it's like a school?

Do they go there cause they want to?

Well, no one really wants to go to school...

[But he is perhaps biased in that.]

But I think it's, like, the only place in the world where people can learn how to figure themselves out, so most people are there because they want to, yeah.

I kind of miss school.

I haven't seen any real schools around here.

_{[It's a partially deliberate subject change, but it's an easy enough one to follow.]}

I think there's, like... Some sort of Pokemon school in Violet? I can't remember, I didn't go there.

[Because bluh traditional learning]

I really just miss seeing all my friends from school... It's been a long time now since I've been able to talk with any of them.

Mm ... me too.

_{[That's kind of what she meant, anyway.]}

There's nobody else here from your home either?

There's Maka... But she's only one person, you know?

I wanna see more than only her.
