[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!]

I do! Yeah, it would have been especially bad since I would have had no way to contact him. ...Sometimes I'm bad about calling, but I never forget for too long. And he would have worried. So it's really fortunate that both of us are here, so we don't have to deal with that.

A couple of people told me that time stops back home anyway. But it's hard not to worry when there are people there that you can't talk to or anything.

I've heard that. I guess time is really broken around here, huh? Yeah, even knowing that, I probably would have worried, but that's good to know anyway. Strange things happen in Night Vale and if Cecil and I are both here, I'd be really worried about what might go wrong while we were gone.

Do you think they'd miss you back if time wasn't stopped?

I'd hope so! They'd miss Cecil more for sure, though. The whole town loves him and his show. I was just sort of adopted since Cecil started talking about me on his show...

He must really like you.

.......Yeah. Like a lot. He...um....he used to call me perfect. Like, a lot. He's kind of gotten past that now, since we established that neither of us are perfect and that's the way we like it.
