[Christmas had been good to Cloche; particularly the fact that she had gotten a TON of collectable Gergo merchandise. It even included some limited run items that she wasn't able to obtain in Metafalss.

But it's not the same without Cocona here. No Gergo friends here in Luceti. So, she would just have to make them.

Her video feed opens with her favourite Gergo plush 'waving' at the camera. After, she'll move it away and smile.]

Hello, Luceti. Today, I'd like to tell you about the wonderful, ugly-cute Gergo. He's incredibly popular where I come from, and he has a lot of merchandise. His appeal is his ugly-cuteness- -but I think he's just cute. Gergo even has collectable, limited items! One that was brought to me this past holiday was a toothbrush I was not able to get in my world.

I was hoping I would find someone here that could share my appreciation and love for Gergo. Is there anyone here that would? I can answer questions about him as well.

[And with that, Gergo will 'wave' once more before Cloche ends the video.]

What exactly does "ugly-cute" even mean?

Exactly that. Some think he's a little ugly, but he's cute as well. So, he's marketed as "ugly-cute" because of that. Of course, I think he's just cute.

That doesn't sound like a good way to market somethin'. It's like sellin' "hot-cold" water that's actually just tepid.

Why not just make him cute instead of ugly-cute? I think it'd be great if you get rid of the eyebrows.

He looks more cute than ugly-cute.

[Kouki, your taste for things is a little off.]

So basically it's like a toy you really like? I wouldn't mind hearing more about it.

It's his charm that people go after, his charm! He doesn't need to be one or the other, people will buy his products regardless if they think he's ugly or cute! So, that's why they say he's "ugly-cute"!

Charm?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

I'm... not exactly sure you could say a stuffed animal like that has "charm."

...Ugly cuteness? That's a new one.

[Pardon the eyebrow raise. That's just... strange.]

Dunno if I'd call it ugly, but that looks like the kinda thign Fluttershy'd get a kick outta.

He has plenty of charm! He's cute, he's something to snuggle at night, he's the best!

[Arguing over Gergo is not new to her, but to say that Gergo has no charm is almost blasphemy to her.]

Because his being ugly-cute is where his charm is -- and there's nothing wrong with his eyebrows.

[FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS sorta.]

I don't mind his ugly-cuteness, but I agree that he's more cute than ugly-cute.

Gergo is not just simply a toy, Rin. He's a collector's item. People have even tried to create a horrible knock-off of him he's so popular! You've been in my room before, I'm sure you've seen the collection I have of him.

[Probably not the best thing to be broadcasting over the network, huh?]

Oh, was that-- [RRRRRCK] don't tell people that!

Fluttershy? She's one of your friends, right? Do you really think she'd like Gergo?

[:|a plan making for if Fluttershy ever returns? You betcha.]

Don't tell people what? [CONFUSION. Once Alfman was out of the picture for the most part, all of her friends, males included, were in her room all the time. WHY IS THIS BAD. To be so naive, it must be nice.]

That I was-- That I might have been- Your room, you know!

But... you have? Why is that so wrong to say?!

It might give people ideas and Precis might tease me about it!

Hey, if she made friends with a ferocious Manticore, I think she'd like just about any kinda animal.

[A beat.]

Except dragons, anyway.

They're way too thick! And being white makes him look like he's some kind of old man. Anyway, who likes ugly stuff?

[No one ever said he have normal tastes in things...]

What kind of collectable items does Gergo have?

...He looks kinda like a potato with ears and a face. Wouldn't that creep out little kids?

[They are the target audience, aren't they?]

Wh-- he isn't creepy! Kids love him! They love his aloof expression, how soft and cuddly he is! Gergo is everything that a collectors item should be!

[A potato with a face and ears- how terrible!]

He's not just ugly, he's ugly-cute! He's nothing like that ridiculous knock-off, Geugo. Ugh, just saying that terrible names makes me want to be sick.

And anyway, Gergo can be anything he wants to be. He's even Gergozilla, a mixture of himself and a lizard. He even had a telemo show about it.
