[Hey, it's Newt again. She's sitting next to some books by an inn bed and if you look off to the side you can see one of those newer pokemon, the blue one, sitting next to an Eevee. The Eevee seems to have a plastic dolls head with them. There is also a Luxray sitting next to them as though keeping them safe from something.]

Hi. I have a question for people who went to school.

What are the really important things you learnt there? I only got to grade two before- ...I came here and there's no schools but I still want to learn stuff. I know reading and math are important. And there's spelling and science things but I don't really know what the other stuff is.

What's important to learn?

That's different. You can't convince her because she's a better liar than anyone else. It takes a lot of guts and bullshit to look at adults in the eye and tell them 'hey, I'm your mom'.

[It would be admirable if it wasn't so goddamn creepy]

She's out of our league.

[sleepallthewayhome]

Oh...that makes more sense. People kept saying that they felt sorry for her. But I think she's just lying and she's terrible.

[Newt has mom issues and this hadn't helped.]

Why do you think she lies about that?

[thegreenhornet]

Maybe she's just lonely, I dunno. But she sure seemed to get a kick of pushing me out of the house five minutes after I realized where I was.

[He sounds so bitter about that. Way to be rude, "mom"]

[sleepallthewayhome]

Even if she's lonely she shouldn't lie about things like that. It's mean.

[thegreenhornet]

Come on, you never lied because you needed something?

[Britt really needs to stop tempting Newt into lying]

[sleepallthewayhome]

....well yes.

But I wouldn't lie about really important things.

I told her my mom was dead, I saw her die. ....she should have stopped then.

[That last bit is quieter. Also, she'd also just gotten away from a highly traumatic event, taken away from her new mom and this lady was like, hey I'm mom. It's a miracle Newt didn't attack her.]
