Hello trainers, I'm afraid I need to ask for a bit of help. Not for me, but for Poochy....

[Rose sighs and turns the camera. What the hell is that thing she points it at? Something that doesn't want to be recorded, that's for sure. All you can see is a lump of bare grayish pink skin and tufts of sad, patchy fur attempting to re-grow. Poorly. There's a very cheap ragged scarf wrapped around it.]

[Yup, that's a poochyena that was depilated. Someone had a very rough Mischief Night, and currently is trying to make himself as small and invisible as possible.]

He's so embarrassed....and cold. He needs sweaters - nice sweaters to make him feel good about himself again. He won't listen to me or the others that it doesn't matter. And it's starting to get cold. I don't have much money yet, but surely some of you wonderful people can spare a warm sweater or two...

I tried making him one but I don't know what sweaters are made out of. Or how to sew.

I saved the scarf I used, though!

That's not surprising. She knows a lot of people here and she tends to give sweaters as gifts a lot.

She's really good at it too.

She seems like a very wonderful girl.

She must be, with all this praise for her sweaters!

She's pretty great. I'm lucky we're both here. She's my twin, so we're like a team.

What do you mean?

Mean? Oh, well she's my twin sister, so we're not identical twins like my grunkles or anything but we grew up together and we've always looked out for each other. Plus we solve mysteries together and stuff like that.

Grunkles?

[Rose is only more confused.]

What's a grunkle?

Oh yeah, sorry. It's a name for a relative that my family uses. I think we're the only ones. A lot of people have been confused by it.

Anyway. Grunkle is a mix of great and uncle. Grunkle. So our Great Uncle Stan is our grandfathers brother, and we call him Grunkle Stan because it's shorter. His twin brother, Grunkle Ford is actually here in this world.

Oh! I...still don't think I understand, but that's alright. It sounds like you have a very nice family.

Families can be kind of confusing. But yeah, they're pretty great.
