After the auction, before meeting Svalin and Vernique
Jordan didn't at all mind the looks of the woman who bought him, though it looked like she was talking to a friend... who he also doesn't mind a bit. However, observing certain other details, something else grabs his attention.

He heads over to the girl in the wheelchair. Well, the one that isn't Mel.

"Miss McCoy?"

	"He doth seem to enjoy acting," Svalin said. She smiled at Jordan. "Thou wilt have to come visit us sometime. We have our own private beach and the weather ist most enjoyable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	An affirming sound from Vernique. "What exactly is your mutant ability, Jordan? And Casey...are you a mutant? One always hears of Excalibur as a 'mostly mutant' group, but there's always exceptions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mostly like my adoptive mother's." No, he's not explaining why that might be. "A bit super strong, endurance... but primarily invulnerable. Despite what super buddies would have people think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Zoey doth like that show," Svalin said with a scowl. "It doth not portray anyone accurately." There may have been a broken television when Svalin saw her Super Buddy character. Though she totally blamed it on pregnancy hormones. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Me no, I’m not a mutant,” Casey says, “I’m just really lucky and gifted at talking.” He did feel rather lucky he didn’t have to deal with that show. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course its not accurate. They need to keep things at the point they can claim the parody exemption. Still, they have some fun ideas. The Captain Canada episodes are great. And I'm surprised Miss Denning hasn't looked into some of the merchandising options." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I probably would have if Definitely-Not-Princess Buzzer's outfit didn't clash so horribly." Vernique smiles wryly. "I'm a little sensitive." And then something occurs to her, and her eyes widen, and she will beg Svalin's pardon later for being so terribly indiscreet, but she looks at Svalin and hisses. "If those idiots do anything about the baby, they're gonna regret it!"

	Baby? Baby? Ooohhh... ok, no alcohol. Got it. "I'm pretty sure that would stretch their parody rights. And... Miss Denning... I managed to look through a few of their possible ideas while they were trying to option Captain Canada videos to the NHL... there was actually one you might kind of appreciate."

	Vernique smiled sheepishly at Svalin, then had to ask. "Oh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"They're bouncing ideas for a little kids' video game. 'Help Little Buzzer Become a Princess' or something. The idea is, they start with that character, she has to adventure, with other members of the Buddies helping her, to earn money. When she has enough money, she goes shopping - and the little girls need to help her make smart fashion choices, accessorize correctly and so on. If they go default, she ends up like the show... but they get points for correctly matching colors, selecting the right shoes for the kind of activity she has planned, things like that. If you earn enough points, she can be a princess. I think they want to try and option in some Van Dyne fashions for some of the wardrobes, and to expand like that, they'd need your family's permission. You'd get a share of the profits and free advertising for van Dyne - and probably a consulting role to help toy designers know what goes with what."

	Svalin frowned. "If they doth, then I wilt destroy the studio. No one doth use mine child as such." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vernique squeezes her hand. "He's got a good point though. They wouldn't dare. And that game... that game sounds kind of wonderful, actually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Casey wasn’t saying much. He got the feeling that he was going to be hearing a lot about little kids shows in the future and didn’t have any particular interest in starting now.

Svalin being pregnant that was a bit unexpected but with the no alcohol thing he thought it made sense. He also completely understood where Svalin was coming from there with his own kid due in a few months.

	Svalin grinned. "Aye. Meat and potatoes mostly," Svalin said. "Unfortunately no chocolate." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Meat and potato works,” Casey said even if he thought that was not very specific at all. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
