"That depends entirely on which station/paper gets to cover the Seaking Diet," Mauve replied. "You give it the right publicity and half the civilized world will be eating them. I've already had offers from Women's Day and Family Circle. They're always looking for garbage like that. Seriously, every issue you'll see on the cover a teaser for this grand new diet that will help you lose a bazillion pounds. It's always right next to a picture of a gigantic chocolate cake which has to have more calories than there are people in China."

She paused, thinking.

"And anyway, the Fish Demographic doesn't really matter. They'll all be watching the network premier of Finding Nemo on ABC this afternoon. Stupid Disney subsidiary. They're showing their stupid movies DELIBERATELY during our special event! Jerks. I'm writing them a nasty letter." Mauve declared.

(OOC: You know I actually had trouble writing a response to this? Seriously, I've never even had to think about being overweight at any time in my life. Most people with Marfan Syndrome simply cannot gain weight. I've only ever had people make fun of me for being too skinny. o.O)

"Newb and Melfice don't count," Mauve said stiffly. "I'll bet Twiddy paid them to say that."

One of Newb's incarnations showed up at that point and started talking into the camera, discussing something that was over Mauve's head. The "magic" part she understood rather well, but the "mechanical" stuff was all Greek to her. Computers generally hated the Mauve Mage, so she stopped trying to learn how they worked long ago and just settled for "Kicking It Sometimes Helps." That became her motto for most things mechanical. Mauve smiled and nodded, wondering if Amalgam knew that the camera was turned off and then decided she wouldn't tell him. Keyman dragged him away moments later, apologizing profusely.

"Hey," Mauve said to Ecurt. "Check it out. Melfice is about to get into a fistfight with a bear. We need footage of that. Just make sure PETA isn't watching the station when we air it."
