[video] First position

[There's a lot of shaking around before the camera comes into focus, but when it does, it's an extreme close-up of Duck's freckled face. It's obvious she's never seen a pokegear before, or any kind of camera. Someone offscreen is telling her she doesn't have to be so close. She looks away from the camera - it pans backward. There's a Pidove on her shoulder. She asks the helpful someone.]
Does it really work?

It's working right now. Say something.

[She looks into the camera and waves.] Okay, um. Hi!
...
...

[Aside:] What now?

You said you had something to ask?...

[Her face lights up as she's reminded of why she wrestled with this contraption in the first place.] Oh yeah! Uh, so, I don't really know what's going on right now. It does sound kind of fun, travelling and going on adventures with pokémon. Some of them are pretty cute! But I have a friend who's going to be really worried when he finds I'm gone, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me the way to Gold Crown Town? It's not on the map. It's a small town, but there's a big boarding school where they teach the arts, and music, and ballet. I think it's in Germany.
...

[Something serious has clearly occurred to her. She stops smiling.] Um, there's something else too. I think this might be a story. Has anyone seen a clockwork writing machine?

Comments

[Audio... just because honestly]

[enjoymyatelier]

...How did that work, exactly?

[This is intriguing as hell! He barely sounds skeptical at all.]

[Video. Someone's gonna have to teach her how to use the audio function]

[usedquack]

I don't know. Autor went on about freezing cold showers and quills with swan's feathers and tea that was four parts darjeeling or something, but I still think he was just giving Fakir a hard time.

And then there was that thing with the tree. I don't even know what that was all about!

[Audio. Yes, that will have to be a thing. Unfortunately she's talking to a douche.]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...wow that is incredibly unclear]

...what thing with a tree?

[Video]

[usedquack]

My friend sat down next to a rock where a tree used to be so he could talk to it or something? And then he almost turned into a tree and I had to snap him out of it.

...So you have no idea as to how any of this functioned, do you.

[usedquack]

[a little defensive] It's magic. I don't know how it works!

[enjoymyatelier]

That much is obvious.
