13th Zapfish [Video; Goldenrod City]

[It's quite clear that when the 'Gear starts up, it's not Thida who's filming it, because she's the one being filmed. The edge of a Malamar's tentacle pokes into the view as it spies on the trainer from around a corner, back to the camera, carefully holding a guitar in her hands even though it's probably a bit too big for her to properly use. She twists the tuning knobs with the utmost care, plucks a string, pauses to listen to the sound, and then returns to the knobs again. She's picking out sounds by ear, it seems, for after a few repetitions of this she slowly, carefully plucks out the beginning of a tune before her fingers slip, and she flinches at the incorrect chord.

The view shifts, and a Malamar takes up the screen. She clicks her beak twice, softly, before she begins to glow with the subtlety of Psychic powers.]


I would like to make a request for my trainer. She is too proud to ask...but she would like lessons in her instrument. The Father Squidmas brought it to her and it is important. [There's a pause as the Malamar looks to her trainer again.] She does everything for us. Helps us become stronger, listens to us, plays with us when she would rather be inside. And she has many troubles. I would like to help them become less heavy.

[With that, the Malamar lowers the 'gear, but doesn't turn it off, and goes out to meet Thida, making a trilling sound. The young girl looks up, and immediately smiles.] Hi, Maika. Whatcha doin'? [She blinks when the Pokemon hands over her Poke'gear, and takes it, noting that it is indeed on.] Y'makin' a movie? [There's a pause, and Thida giggles, presumably at her Pokemon's expression.] 'Kay, y're all done, then. [She turns to the 'gear herself and waves.] Hope y'liked her movie! Bye!

[She grew up in a place with a lot of weird shit around.]

Nice to meet you.

She says you got a guitar recently and wanted to learn how to play it?

And she asked around for people who could teach. I offered my services.

[Ceilidh beams at her.]

I wouldn't offer if I didn't want to. It'd be fun!

[She scratches her head briefly.]

Dragons horde treasure... I don't know why. They just do. They horde other things too. I'm sure there's a bunch of studies on why they do it but I've never read them. Never really interested me.

But, I guess they're just really, really, really, really big pack rats.

Maybe. Or maybe they won't tell. It could be some sort of REALLY BIG dragon secret that they've kept from mortals for hundreds of thousands of years!

Even the dragons I know back home really well won't tell me and they tell me ALL Sorts of things.

[Oh. Sure. They've got lots of dragons. Ceilidh's mother's producer is a dragon. The top selling historical romance writer is a dragon. Though she doesn't know it, Celidh's father is a dragon. Not at all a big deal to Ceilidh either.]

It really is! It's so weeeeeird.

[... That's kinda awesome.

She tilted her head curiously.]

Having bones? You didn't have bones before coming here?
