foolishwren | 033. [Video] (action for Camp Otacon)

_{[When the camera comes on, Heather's lying on her back on her sleeping bag with Cujo draped over her stomach and a sulky expression on her face. The bandage formerly tied over her eye (looking distinctly nasty now) is crumpled off to the side and in its place is a hot compress, which she's holding gently to the wounded area with one hand. She seems to be holding the PokeGear up above her with the other. Least flattering Myspace-shot ever.]}

So-- how long do I have to keep this thing on?

_{[She's talking to somebody off-camera and judging by the ever-so-patient tone of the reply she gets, which is sort of indistinct but along the lines of 'Until I say you can take it off', that somebody is Otacon.]}

But Haaaaaal.

_{[There is no reply.]}

..... Fine, fine...

I'll just stay here and stew in my misery.

_{[There's a laugh from off the screen and another indistinct reply that is apparently amused at Heather's overdramatic whining and not sympathetic like she'd been hoping. So Heather makes a pouty face and turns her head just slightly so that she can stick her tongue out in his general direction before looking back to the camera.]}

His Dictatorship over there is reveling in his regime of oppression and I'm bored.

Someone please distract me.

_{[SHE'D EVEN WELCOME KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES. THAT IS HOW LOW SHE HAS SUNK.]}

Because I'm always "Wright!"

[complete with dorky grin]

_{[..............]}

.... That was the worst joke I've ever heard. It's not even funny.

_{[But then why were the corners of her mouth creeping upwards like that?]}

[He's used to that reaction, trust me. He grins a bit as well, slightly embarassed.] Well, I was never very good at them. [A sheepish rub of his neck.] You should ask Larry.

_{[Still, it DID make her smile, even though she's trying to force it down.]}

Oh yeah, that guy's your friend, right?

Never woulda thought if someone hadn't told me.

_{[Because Larry was SUCH a derp. ... That wasn't to say Phoenix wasn't a derp as well, but still.]}

Edited 2010-10-06 02:11 (UTC)

[Again, it's the usual reaction. He doesn't mind, it WAS a horrible pun, after all.

And at Heather's question, he nods.] Yeah. _{...unfortunetly.}

We've been friends for...forever, really.

Really?

Like, little-kids forever?

Y-yeah. [And he's just a little bit embarassed by the way Heather puts it.]

We've known each other since we were kids. _{We only really became friends in fourth grade, though.}

_{[Aw, Phoenix, that's nothing to be embarrassed about! Judging by the way Heather's smiling, she doesn't think so, at least.]}

That's cool. It's nice when people stay friends.

_{[... She wouldn't know. Her only close childhood friend had gone on to kill her father.]}

[But when you really think about it, Phoenix and Larry are just...you do NOT expect them to be friends. Rather, Larry is the kind of person you'd expect Phoenix to strongly dislike. It's pretty funny, actually.]

I guess so. [He's never really considered the fact that having stayed friends with the guy this long was weird, really. It's just the kind of thing Phoenix does. If you're a friend, you're a friend. And that extends to uptight prosecutors who happen to be REALLY TINY ALL OF A SUDDEN.]

_{[ooc; --GOD I KEEP FORGETTING TO TELL YOU UM. Our last thread, uh. I kind of. Lost it. xD ;; AND I CAN'T ACCESS IT FROM YOUR PAGE BECAUSE LJ, like, glitches halfway through Kaito's thread, lol. You're so populaaaar]}

_{[THIS IS TRUE. Heather NEVER would have expected it. But hey, it's kinda cute! ... If weird. ... Thankfully, Larry hasn't annoyed her too much yet... but then, he hasn't started flirting either. If he ever DID, her opinion might change.]}

Anyway.

_{[ooc: oh god LJ has been SO laggy lately. D:> It's been glitching up for me too lol that thread with Kaito is long as hell and C'MON I'M NOT THAT POPULAR I JUST WIND UP WITH EXTREMELY LONG THREADS but hang on, I'll link you! XD I was worried you'd dropped that! I'd love to finish it. c:

Here's the whole thread.]}

...anyway.

How have you been, Heather? _{Besides, er...bored.

[ooc; Ah, excellent! Naaah, I wouldn't drop this puppy for the world are you kidding. LET'S FINISH THIS THING AWWWYEAH]}

I've been... uh... better. But I'm gettin' there. _{[She gestured to the compress on her eye with a crooked grin.]}

_{[ooc: YAAAAAAY. YES, LET'S! >8U!]}

Well, at least you're healing. [Same for him! He has a bandage over his biggest bruise, now, but he grins nonetheless.]

Slowly but surely!

.... Uh... heh.

Dare I ask if you gave any of these to me?

I hope?

_{[... BECAUSE IT WAS KIND OF AWFUL TO MENTALLY PICTURE HERSELF BEATING SOME DUDE WHO WASN'T EVEN FIGHTING BACK. .... OKAY IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY TOO BUT THAT WAS BAD AND SHE SHOULDN'T MENTION THAT.]}

[--well, that was a question he wasn't expecting! He blinks in surprise for a few seconds before grinning sheepishly and rubbing the back of his neck.]

Er...n-no.

...sorry? _{I'm not a fighter outside of court, really...}

_{[That sheepish look makes her chuckle. It's not a particularly energetic laugh, but it is genuine at least. Now that the... shock's had a little chance to wear off, she's able to see some of the humor in the situation.]}

You're not, huh. I guess that's not a bad thing.

_{[The world needed more guys who were lovers and not fighters, after all.]}

... But a word of advice. If I ever wind up trying to kill you again, it's okay to deck me in the face. I give you full permission.

... Unless you deserve it, in which case don't.

_{[It's a joke! ... Sort of! .... Maybe just to Heather. She's sort of morbid like that.]}

I wouldn't think so? [Incredulous look is incredulous. He HAS been called a wimp before, but, really. He doesn't like to hit people. Not even when people hit him.]

Er...I'll keep that in mind. [Truthfully, he hopes he'll never BE in that situation ever again. Really.]

_{[It's something Heather has a hard time NOT doing. If someone hits HER, you can... pretty much expect her to hit them back TWICE.]

[And don't worry, Phoenix... Heather doesn't... really want to be in that situation again either. ... But just in case.]}

[Really, Phoenix is probably just a wimp. He says he's a pacifist, but there's only ONE person whom he would ever really lay a hand on...and he always gave that person their just desserts in court.

Yeah, it would be kind of weird if she did! But cue some awkward laughing from Phoenix. Now that it's (mostly) blown over, he's been finding the entire situation...pretty amusing.]

_{[Ah well, the world needs wimps too.]

[One thing Heather is good at almost no matter what was being able to laugh at something in hindsight. The fact that she can laugh at this too (though she still feels bad) is a good sign that things will be all right.]}

... Anyway. I'm glad you're all right.

[Phoenix (thanks to the influence of his happy-go-lucky sidekick) has been slowly learnign to laugh more at his mistakes. If only to lessen the massive amount of gray hairs he's been getting recently. Poor baby.]

Yeah, I'm fine. [A grin.] I've had worse.
