[When the feed turns on, Dray smiling like he just won the pokemon lottery. His tail moves lazily behind him and his ears are up.]

Hello everyone! I just got the most majestic pokemon! He’s fierce and loyal, with scales that seem made of steel and a powerful jaw. I can’t decide what to name him, though. I’m torn between Leviathan, Bonecrusher or Shadowbringer. What do you all think? This is him…

[He turns the camera towards the pond next to his garden to show his magnificent pokemon…

….It’s a Magikarp.

A Magikarp that’s splashing around desperately as if he's having a seizure, trying to get away from a Pidgeotto trying to grab him. Dray frowns and throws an apple at the bird, making it fly away. It’s clearly not the first time this had happened if his precision hitting the flying pokemon is any indication.]

Anyway, the name...

[There’s a rather distressed whine coming from off camera and Colette can be heard speaking in a soothing tone.]

Molly, what’s the matter? Come here. Hey, Dray? [Her voice is louder now.] Did you lick my Swirlix again? I told you it really upsets her!

[Dray's eyes shift and his ears drop, he look more than a little guilty.] Er.....Noooo?

Yes, of course it counts. What it matters is to be happy and satisfied in the end.

those are good objective, specially the exploring.

[ivegotadream]

Which I have been trying to do. it's why my work is what it is. I work three days a week in a job then work on customs if I get them.So that always gives me plenty of time to run around and explore this interesting place.

Though in my time here still have yet to explore everything. Do you have places you go to that I might not?

[mother_of_monsters]

I don't have a job that takes all my day either. Perhaps we could go exploring together one day.

I like to explore the Fayren forest, since I live here.

[ivegotadream]

I would like that.

But as for Fayren... You live in the forest? What is that like?

[mother_of_monsters]

We have plans for the future then.

It's nice. I built my house by the river, let me show it to you...[He turns the camera to show her his glass and wood house.] There's all sort of creatures in the forest. Fairies, dragons, normal animals like deer or rabbits...it reminds me of home.

[ivegotadream]

Oh wow, that's beautiful.

But I am glad you found a place a lot like home. It must be nice.

[mother_of_monsters]

Thanks. My tribe used to built things like this for elves and other tribes. Mine is nothing special.

Is is...I miss home. This makes it better.

[ivegotadream]

What... What was your home like?

[mother_of_monsters]

It was a huge valley, surrounded by snowy mountains. Very colourful, mostly green with also with a lot of lowers of different kinds. Some of the creatures in Fayren look like the ones form home.

[ivegotadream]

So Fayren for you really is the closest thing you can get to home.

Though I must admit that it sounds like a beautiful place.

[mother_of_monsters]

Yes. I'm thinking about opening a Subarchway since Winter gave me the idea. But I'm nos sure...I don't have a lot of nice memories to give in exchange.

[ivegotadream]

I honestly don't really know much about the subarchways... Or really any place I would want to be that I actually know.

But...they make you give up nice memories?

[mother_of_monsters]

I learned that they're door to different worlds but not like the real thing. Like..how we remember them, a very close copy.

Nice memories or skills, yes.

[ivegotadream]

So they use memories in order to make them or something? That what it sounds like.

Though it's kind of sad to have to give up something for it.

[mother_of_monsters]

Basically, I think so.

No one gives anything for free, that's how life always had been.

[ivegotadream]

I wouldn't know that, though. I've never really had to give anything up.

[Well except freedom, but that wasn't necessarily willingly, more being scared into it until some time ago.]

[mother_of_monsters]

That's very lucky of you.

[Freedom is a pretty big thing, Rapunzel...]

[ivegotadream]

My mother would always be the one o go out. But I think she just gathered from the surrounding areas or at least travelled a day or two away, so not sure if that counts though.

[mother_of_monsters]

Yes, ti counts. She wasn't being very nice to you even if it looked like it. I'm sorry, Rapunzel.

[ivegotadream]

How come? I mean gathering from woods and such isn't mean losing anything in return?

[mother_of_monsters]

Oh no, not that. She never letting you leave the place is what was wrong.

[ivegotadream]

People have told me this before, so I am already aware of that.

[mother_of_monsters]

Oh, okay sorry for bringing it up.

You're happier here, I hope?

[ivegotadream]

It's fine. It's at least making certain that what people say is actually correct. I mean if it's more than one person, they all can't be lying. Logic.

[Really helps her.]

Oh, yes. I'm having so much fun being out and about. I mean... I haven't achieved what I wanted back home. Something I wanted to see, but maybe someday.

[mother_of_monsters]

Heh, yes checking the fact is always good.

I know exactly how it is. [Dray smiles widely, some of his fangs peek out.] It's just so good to be free. And don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to get back home one day and do all the things you wanted.
