[There's a little girl grinning at the camera when the feed clicks on, waving enthusiastically. Her face and hands are covered in three different kinds of glitter, but luckily her adorable sweatshirt (it has giraffes on it) has miraculously managed to stay clean.]

Greetings, fellow heroes! My name's Mabel. I don't have a codename yet but I'm working on it! Along with-- [She reaches off screen to pull out a square of fabric covered in stickers and glitter.] --this! It's gonna be my cape when it's done.

Anyway, since I'm new to being a hero, I'm open to any advice my more experienced superfriends may have! Whether it's about capes or masks or where the craft store is. Especially that last part, since I'm almost out of stickers.

--and if anybody in house eighteen sees some pigs in the kitchen, don't worry. Those are the Waddles Juniors and they're with me. If they're down there they're just hungry.

Of course!

[With a sly look in her eye, she suddenly gasps.]

Oh... but I should ask my friend first...

[glitterateur]

Your friend?

[everylittlething]

Oh, he must be around here somewhere...

Aha! Here he is, in all his glory-

[Trucy steps back so she can be seen by the camera, reaches beneath her cape- and this happens.]

"The Amazing Mr. Hat is at your service, madam!"

[glitterateur]

Whoaaa. Is he a puppet? How's he fit under your cape?

[everylittlething]

Yep! I can't tell you how he fits, of course.

"It's sort of a square-peg, round hole kind of thing. Ha ha ha ha!"

You're off your game today, Mr. Hat. That pun wasn't even very good.

"Sorry- I'm feeling a little hollow, I suppose. Ha ha ha ha!"

[glitterateur]

Haha! It's okay, Mr. Hat. I think your puns are delightful!

[everylittlething]

"Why, thank you, Miss Mabel!" [And a polite tip of his hat. That's all he really does usually, but it looks like he means it this time.]

We really appreciate it! Too many people are too boring to even care about magic these days!

[glitterateur]

[Mable bows to Mr. Hat. You must show respect to a puppet that great.]

I know! What happened? Where did the sense of joy and whimsy go?

[everylittlething]

People are just too cynical nowadays.

But worry not! As the last of the Gramaryes, it is my solemn duty to bring the joyful, whimsical magic of my family name back to the spotlight!

First step... Heropa! Next step... the world!

[glitterateur]

You can do it! I believe in you.

--wait, so is your name Gramarye?

[everylittlething]

Thank you so much!

- oh. No, my name's Trucy. Trucy Wright. It's nice to meet you!

[glitterateur]

Nice to meet you too, Trucy!
