[Newt's second video to the feed is a lot different then her first. She's smiling for one thing. She also has two new pokemon next to her, a Cubone and and Absol. They're both very young and sticking very close to Newt. She waves at the camera. A little nervous still, but smiling.]

I've got two new pokemon now. This is Hudson

[She points the camera to the Cubone leaning against her. Not looking at the camera]

And this is Vasquez.

[A quick point to the Absol who is somehow glaring at the screen.]

They're both a little shy but that's okay. We're family now. Thank you Walter. I promise I'll take good care of them! I told Feathers to say hello to you for me when he left, too.

Um, I do have a question though. How do people decide what to name their pokemon? I named my two new ones after people who are ....gone now. I don't have that many names like that left  that I want to use....so it's going to be harder to pick ones that fit them.

And....I'm not really good at picking names and I'll have to do that in the future...what do you guys do?

Really?

[She looks interested but then pauses. She still doesn't like telling people this.]

I'm not sure if I could do that. ....I got the pokemon from the egg I bought from Walter and the one he gave me but .....I'm...really afraid of eggs, so he hatched them for me and sent me over the pokemon.

[Pamela said people wouldn't laugh at her and she does have a good reason to be afraid of eggs, it's just saying it out loud sounds ...silly,]

If the pokemon and Jean are willing, I don't see why not.

[He almost makes a face -- but it's not at the fear. It's the mention of Walter. That guy...]

[He schools his expression, though, and his tone is completely honest. He's in no position to judge fears, is he?]

Hey, that's okay. I know someone who's afraid of running. And I'm... I'm a little afraid of hospitals.

We could hatch it for you, too.

[That's good because Walter is her friend. He understands her shell-shocked survival motives.

She still looks a bit surprised at the offer though.]

You'd do that too?

.....I...I'd like that a lot. I can pay you for it.

[She knows people buy eggs here. Even if Walter had refused to let her pay for more then one of her two eggs.]

[Look he might have understood, in another day. But man, Walter could have killed people and that's... that's A Subject.]

Yeah, I don't think anyone here would mind.

You don't have to pay anything. Just don't roll your eyes the next time I make a space pun.

[Yeah Newt still has no idea about any of Walters ....not so great points.]

Okay...

....what's a space pun?

[shiro2hero]

It's a joke. A bad joke. People tend to pretend to get mad when I tell them.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Why would they pretend to get mad? That's weirder then a bad joke.

[shiro2hero]

That's what you do when someone tells you a pun.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Okay...but you don't want me to?

[She's seven Shiro, you're confusing the seven year old.]

[shiro2hero]

Don't worry about it. If you don't get the joke, then don't worry.

video; private

[sleepallthewayhome]

Um....okay.

...if I do get it and it's funny, can I laugh?

video; private

[shiro2hero]

Absolutely.

I'd like that.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Okay!

Thank you though. You're the best.

No problem, Newt. I'll let you know when we've got a Gastly for you.
