12. A Rolling Stone Gathers No Mozz [Video]

[continuousgroaning]

[Tina's happily humming to herself as she turns the feed on. A notebook is lying on Maurtia Falls #003's kitchen table, and she zooms in on several labeled drawings of burgers as she slowly flips through the pages:]

Magnus Burnsides - mango salsa with "sideburns" of hot peppers
Wizard Of Mozz - Italian sausage patty, topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella
Merle Highchurch - Pan fried, topped with a few different kinds of greens
Detective Angus - made of Angus beef with a mystery cheese inside
Max - a long bun with two mini patties and fried pickle wheels, to look like a skateboard
Sharpedo - sharp cheddar cheese with "fins" made of nacho cheese Doritos
Pikachu - put pepperoni slices for cheeks, olives for eyes, and mustard for the face on the patty
Exeggutor - honey and egg bun with two fried eggs

[Tina then shuts the notebook and turns the camera on herself, looking quite proud.]

This has been my latest project- coming up with burgers themed after imPorts I know. I want to sell them, maybe at swear-ins, or something like that.

If you could make your own burger, what would you put on it?

I'd like that. I want to meet all the Pokemon I can.

Huh, I bet it does. Kinda like a parent seeing their kid grow up, right? Well, maybe not THAT deep, but it's similar.

Oh, yeah! See, this is why I asked the network- I knew all of you would come up with some great ideas.

[continuousgroaning]

Tell me about it. Like me learing magic- that's another one of my powers.

[continuousgroaning]

As far as I know, yes, they do. No injuries or anything like that.

[continuousgroaning]

It feels like that to me sometimes, definitely. My dad and brother and sister are still back home, but my family has always been close, so being here without anyone was... weird. And difficult.

[fauxmarth]

I can only imagine. I'm relieved you have your mother with you; please do take care of each other for however long you remain. That's such a precious gift to have...

[romancekiller]

Ah— these are all themed after people you know here?

[bentspooner]

Red saved my city from a gang, and Blue became my colleague. I'm very proud.

[ Totally not a mom, though! ]

[hellosirs]

They mystery cheese is a nice touch. What would your burger be?

[girlybruiser]

Those sound quite delicious!

[ A light giggle. ]

I think I would call mine the Mona! And it would have yellow peppers and be made with a fish patty instead of a beef patty.

You can give people dinner and a show.

Yeah that's, uh... pretty not good.

BUT, you can do better this time around! I'm sure we've got enough money saved up for a decent truck. Or, at least, one o' those food carts or something.

I appreciate the thought, but I'm too young to get my license yet. ... also, the one time I tried driving, that didn't end very well either.

[continuousgroaning]

Thank you!

I can definitely cook fish, too. I learned how to make burgers from my dad, and he's pretty strict about thinking of burgers as only being made of beef, but I'm a lot more flexible.

[continuousgroaning]

Uh-huh. Either the people themselves or their Pokemon.

[continuousgroaning]

Mystery cheese would be a nice surprise to bite into. ... unless it was something super hot, but I wouldn't be that mean.

Something with horseradish. You know, 'cause I love horses. I'm still working on the rest of the details.

[continuousgroaning]

Wow, I never knew that! They really are amazing... makes me glad to call them my friends.

video

[continuousgroaning]

Maybe when I'm a little better at doing magic. ... I'm not BAD, but not great, either.

[extremeteenbible]

Sounds like you've got a history of things "not going very well." Maybe you're better off just parking yourself somewhere and letting the customers come to you.

[continuousgroaning]

I plan on it. Mom wants to take care of me and the other kids who were brought here, too. She'll be great at it.

I had no idea there were so many things you can do with hamburgers!

I suppose if I were making one for myself, I'd make one of those ones with a fried egg on top. Whatever has the highest caloric intake.

[ And yet, she's so skinny... ]

[continuousgroaning]

Yeah... that's pretty true.

Well, the point of a food truck is to go places. But that might be enough here, considering the natives tend to flock to anything imPorts do.

The good thing about burgers is the base is so simple, and beef tastes good with so many things.

Oooh, in that case, you could add cheese on it, too. Or maybe some pico de gallo or peppers.

[beyourzoomer]

Even if they don't all eat burgers, it's cool that they'd all have one named after them anyway. At least in my opinion.

[ HER HEART ]

That -- that would be lovely. I'm glad you think of me so highly.

[ She sounds genuinely touched. ]
