[this is spent after an afternoon groaning and moaning about how unlucky he is]

Heather, Johto hates me.

_{[Ping! What's this? A text message?!]}

... dare I ask?

....... were beedrill swarms involved??

[gamersoul.livejournal.com]

Hey, Heather! It's Yuugi!

My PIDGEY is really energetic. She's a handful!

Oh yeah! I battled RATTATA the other day. Oh it was soooo close too!

See ya!

deee deee deee

Are you still in Violet?

[text] WOOO SPAM

[foolishwren]

Yeah

I got here later than I expected-- like just Saturday morning.

Why?

[Voice Mail; August 22, 3:26 AM]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ it's a surprisingly little voice for a usually outgoing and energetic person, but it's also almost three-thirty in the morning, and there are soft, lyrical hoots from DAT BABY, so Rise clearly doesn't have the gumption to do this without moral Hoothoot support. ]

H-hey, Heather, it's me.

Um...

[ a pause, accompanied by a shaky breath. Can you picture Rise squeezing her eyes shut, because that is what she's doing. ]

I'm really sorry. I know what it's like, having stuff that you really can't talk about, and it's not about trust, I don't even know why I-- I mean--

Just-- please, d-don't close me out, okay?

[Voice; August 22, 3:26 AM]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Understandably, Heather's actually asleep when the message arrives... but it's a restless sleep. The same one she's been sleeping every night since she heard that familiar old voice praying...]

[When Rise's tearful voice creeps and tugs her back into the world of the waking, Heather's curled up in bed, blankets wrapped tightly around herself despite the warm night. Lifting her head, she reaches out for the 'Gear, fumbling a little bit before holding it to her ear to catch the rest of the message. ... Oh... Rise.]

[Heather swallows.]

[She wasn't angry at Rise, not really... upset, yeah, but... almost everything had been upsetting her lately. And although she hasn't had cause to show it much to the people she's met in Johto, it's never been unusual for Heather to just disappear for awhile when she needs time to cool off. But that doesn't mean she likes it...]

[She looks over her shoulder to check on her roomies, both of whom are asleep... her father a shadowy figure in his bed on the other side of the room, and Henry sprawled haphazardly in a crooked lump across the floor over his sleeping bag.]

[... Normally she'd go outside, but she doesn't ... feel like leaving the safety of the covers right now. Maybe if she's really quiet...]

[CALL BACK]</sub>



... Rise, uh...

... Hey...

[bookmarking]

Hey, Heather.

If you're reading this, Johto's most likely already sent me home. Thanks so much for everything...for being a good friend, and for the birthday gift. I'm gonna miss you.

By the way, you should try growing your hair out sometime. Just once. Just a tip.

- Clover

[LET'S JUST ASSUME HEATHER MANAGED TO SEND IT.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... ;-; sob clover <3333]

[I didn't get a chance to hit your drop post but I'll take this opportunity to say that I'll miss you, man.]</sub>

(video/Abax)

[iorhael]

[Sometime shortly after this thread]

Hullo Heather,

I hope "today" finds you well. This may seem an odd request, but do you know where an axe may be found? Someone from home has need of one and I believe his business with it would be a good one for many.

Thank you and take care of yourself!

(video/Abax)

[foolishwren]

<sub>[What's this? A missed call? Heather checks her beeping phone some time later only to discover a message from her favorite hobbit!]

[A moment or two is spent pondering the request before she calls back.]</sub>

Yo, hey Frodo.

I don't have an axe, but... Give me a few days and I bet I could find one for you.

[getthehorns]

hey it's cliffjumper

can you call me when you get a chance?

Audio | Route | 10/24

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... A text from CLIFF?]

[... Huh.]

[Well, as he requested, Heather calls him up later in the evening.]</sub>

Hey, Cliff.

Got your message.

What's up?

March 14th | action IF THAT'S OKAY

[darkenedgales]

[At some point in the afternoon, a light knock on the door of Heather's room can be heard -- only to be followed by Crow casually sticking his head inside, because really, who needs permission to enter anyway. Knocking alone was enough of courtesy on his part, after all.]

Helloooo? Anybody home?

THAT IS FINE

[foolishwren]

<sub>[WHAT'S THAT? A TAP ON THE DOOR? WHO COULD IT BE?]

[No seriously who is it.]

[As Crow peeks in, Heather's head pops out of the bathroom. She's dressed so whatever the suds on her face are from, it's not a shower for HER. Judging by the splashing coming from inside, at least one of the Pokemon is getting a bath.]</sub>

--Oh, hey Crow.

What's up?

audio; | April 20

[thecrooks]

Lo, lo, lo.

[A brief click of a beak, and then — Cooper's voice.]

Tricia.

audio; | April 20

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It's always a little startling when the 'Gear suddenly starts to talk-- you'd think Heather would have turned off that function by now, but she leaves it on anyway just in case of missed calls. Easier to hear the damn thing if it's yelling at you than if it just vibrates and then takes a message.]

[But needless to say... it's doubly startling when it's that voice]

[... Well, in Tricia's case, perhaps 'startled' isn't the best word.]

[With a quiet woof, the Manectric surges up from where she'd been curled on the floor next to her 'new trainer's' bed, trotting over to where the 'Gear sits and nudging it with her nose, tilting her head at it. The expectant panting can probably be heard plainly on the other side.]

[Was that who she thought it was?]</sub>

_{[YOU ARE WATCHING PURE, CAMPY GLORY, HICCUP.]}

is it "santa vs the deoxys"

[Video Message] Backdated to before Halloween

[rocketralph]

<sub>[The feed is dim and grainy, as the 'gear's transmissions usually are when one is inside and at first it's unclear what is going on.]

[Then it appears. The ugliest discount rubber Swellow mask in existance. It's being held by a very large hand.]</sub>

It's you.

_{[RALPH OUT.]}

[Video Message]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... Ralph you butthead. >8I]

[A few minutes later, he gets a return video ping on his 'Gear.]

[It's a hand holding a hamburger with a bite out of it in front of the camera. And making it talk.]</sub>

HURP LOOK AT ME I'M FOOD FIGHTER.

BLUGHGHBLURBLHGH.

Heather. Heather, hey. I found some of those green and red sour pokeball candies for our stockings, but what do I get for Mr. Mason? I don't want to get him notebooks again.

[foolishwren]

_{[COME IN STONER BRO.]}

Hm. Well, books are always a big hit, but given that we're technically nomads, those things sort of start to add up after awhile.

Maybe get him an ugly holiday sweater.

He loves those.

[After this, Envy is beyond furious. And he can't stop thinking about it, that Hohenheim would be the one to kill him. And not only that, but that he'd do it in order to save himself and the brothers, so that they could go back home and live happily.

[He's stormed out of the hotel and called out his Aerodactyl without even thinking about it. He knows what he wants to do now. He wants to go find Alphonse and...he doesn't know what. Kill him maybe, or just hurt him.

I don't have to steal anybody's bird to do this.

The thought makes him pause in the middle of getting the harness onto Carl. Where had that come from? Right, it had been something he said to Heather...because...

I'd rather spare my friends the shame of doing the same thing I did.

He shakes his head and continues, slower. His hands are shaking too much to get the buckles right, with rage or something else he doesn't know.

I want to be someone worth him loving me.

He stops, teeth gritted and hands clenched on the straps of the harness. He stands there for a long time, until Carl swings his head around and nudges at him with a concerned croak. He breathes once, and without thinking too hard about it, pulls his 'Gear out of his pocket.]

Heather? I...are you still in town?

[voice | midday August 18th]

[foolishwren]

_{[She picks up, sounding a little sleepy, but certainly there.]}

Yeah? We haven't left yet, I think Crow wants to go get his Cianwood badge in a few days or something, but we're still here.

Why? What's up?

[video | August 22]

[ Mimi pops up on screen, looking somewhat more excitable than usual. Almost like she's up to something. In a totally-not-up-to-something voice, she singsongs: ]

Mason-san~! Do you have a minute?

[foolishwren]

--Oh!

Uh, hey.

Mimi, right?

Yeah, sure, what's up?
