56. Video/Action for the Violet City Pokemon Center

[This is the last place Heather wants to be. And when the feed blinks on, it shows.]

[There's the usual busy murmur characteristic of a Pokemon Center lobby on a Monday morning. It's been awhile since Heather's been under these fluorescent lobby lights, and she looks a little washed-out and pale. Sleepy, too-- and blinking in irritation at the bright lights. She must have rolled out of bed not that long ago, and her cheeks are still flushed from the cold walk between the hotel and the Center.]

[Judging from the pink plush cushion she's leaning on and the colorful Poke-care posters splashed all over the wall behind her, she's sitting in the lobby. There's a small (say, less-than-a-football-sized) dusk-colored egg in her lap-- but weirdly, none of her Pokemon can be seen. Normally at least one or two of them are present in her transmissions, either chillaxin' in the background or (in Cujo's case) doing something derpy, but none of them are there.]


Hey, guys... uh...

I just thought I should letcha know, Phoenix is... um, he's in the Pokemon Center here in Violet. He went yesterday to get somethin' for his cold and didn't come back, and apparently he uh... collapsed.

But they said it doesn't look like it has anything to do with him being sick, it's like...

[She rubs at one of her eyes with the heel of her palm, grimacing.]

... Those faints that people've been going into lately.

So, he's... um... he's doing okay.

[Around this point, a familiar (to some) shiny blue head pops into the frame-- Phoenix's Quagsire partner, Butch, is clambering up onto the seat next to Heather. ... And onto Heather.]

Ooff-- Butch, jeez, hang on-- [She hastily grabs her bag (the smaller, owlless one) and slips the egg she was holding inside before it gets crushed under the giant amphibian's weight.] Anyway, uh-- I'll-- ... I'll be taking care of his Pokemon till he wakes up, I guess. But yeah, I just thought I'd give people the heads-up, in case anybody was... I dunno, worried.

[Weirdly, Butch looks as stupidly happy as ever (as he curls into a ball that's like twice as big as the lap he's trying to sit on), so Phoenix can't be in that bad a state. But for some reason, Heather still looks very uncomfortable-- and she's not the sort to worry unnecessarily about somebody when she knows they're more or less fine.]

... Anyway. So, uh-- hey, Kaito? [She addresses the camera.] You guys gotten to Violet yet? I thought maybe if you were here, we could all-- I dunno, meet up for lunch or somethi-- hey! [The camera jostles wildly-- looks like Butch is batting at it playfully. It shakes around a bit before the view steadies again-- upside-down and facing in the opposite direction, towards the front desk.]

[Two Nurse Joys are standing behind the counter and looking in Heather's direction very conspicuously. One of them has an expression darkened by consternation-- the other looks a little confused. The first says something quietly to her under her breath, and upon hearing it, the second one's eyes widen and she claps a hand over her mouth.]

[The camera jerks again as Heather grabs it back from Butch and turns it back to herself, but her attention is on the nurses now-- her expression briefly unreadable. But hey-- it's no secret to anybody who's been in Johto since the summer that Heather's relationship with the nurses of Violet City was an antagonistic one. Hell, she turned that Center upside-down on more than one occasion-- and laughed in the face of their authority, with no regrets (or shame)! Oh, the youthful shenanigans! Any second now she's gonna direct her gaze back at the camera and do a classic Heather "THEY MAD?" smirk or something, right?]

[.... Right?]

[Heather swallows hard, hunching her shoulders a little, as though trying to look a little more inconspicuous-- and then hastily shuts the camera off. Her last expression before the feed cuts out is one of... jeez, it kinda looks like ... guilt.]






[ooc: For those in the Pokemon Center, Heather can either be found milling uncomfortably around the edges of the Center lobby, looking like she just saw a Wanted poster for herself, or (most likely), hiding out in whatever room Phoenix's in to avoid contact with the Nurse Joys as much as she can.
ALSO, for those who weren't around back when this happened, this is why Heather's not feeling too hot about having to see these particular Nurses again.]

So if the other cases are anything to go by, he'll be back in approximately a week with new memories from his home.

[Here Heather, have a frown. Bet you've seen a lot of those from this guy, but this isn't so deep - just one that indicates thought. He looks a bit distant, for a second, before adressing the gear more directly.]

Are you alright?

[Action] FFF....it WOULD be the place he's working

[identity profile] catsteward.livejournal.com 2011-02-21 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, so, initially he wasn't terribly happy to hear Heather's voice over the feed as he sat in one of the pokemon center's back rooms, sorting through the ever-growing and neverending pile of patient files. He had enough to worry about for the remainder of his shift without his "favorite" antagonist on the scene.

As he listens to her tone and what she has to say, however, and hears the Joys' whispered discussion about 'that young lady' on one of his trips up front to drop off and pick up some more files about the miserable-looking girl with the boyish haircut trying to look as small as possible in one of the lobby's corners....well....

yeah... Somehow you looked a lot bigger and satan-like when you were harassing him about flaming blankets =/

So, hey Heather? How do you feel about a tall center assistant sweeping past where you are on one of his go-betweens to set down a styrofoam cup of cocoa on the end of the table nearest you? It's nothing fancy, just the watery, cheap stuff you'd expect to come out of a waiting room vending machine.]

Heather! You're in Violet too?

[Maybe he'd get to see some of his friends before he and Dash set out! That'd be nice! But...poor Phoenix. He can't keep that cheer up. He's worried. Phoenix is always sick or falling off cliffs or...into comas?]

I-I'm...sure he'll be okay. But that's sort of...one of our travel friends disappeared very recently. Dash ended up with all her Pokemon.

I hope home is where people go when they disappear.

[Kaito is actually milling about the city, performing small tricks for pocket cash for the citizens of Violet when he receives Heather's message. At first, he simply plans on responding via gear, but then he notices the Nurse Joys in the background and the way her expression shifts quickly into something... so very un-Heather-like.

Deciding she needed more than just a pick-me-up via video, he tips his baseball cap at his latest audience member, gives her a charming wink, and makes his way towards the Center.

A mere few minutes later, he pushes open the door and scans the lobby for a girl with tousled blonde hair. She isn't difficult to pick out among the crowd (she's the girl who's trying not to be seen), and without hesitation he slides up to her discreetly]


Dinner, huh? [As typical (and predictable) as his greeting is, he never tires of it, and he's almost positive his audience never does either. With a snap of his fingers, a yellow flower blossoms in his palm, and he's tilting it toward her with a lopsided (and encouraging) grin.

He knows exactly why she's so hesitant to be in Violet again (especially the Center), so he'll do his best to make her forget the events of the mysterious nightmare fog that rolled through Johto months ago]

[Dash has been wanting to move out of Violet for a while, continuously telling herself that she needed to keep moving toward whatever awaited her after obtaining all those gym badges. And now she was second-guessing that idea. First, there was the gaggle of friends she had made that made her feel rooted in Johto, then Kaitlyn, the person that'd been with her since the beginning of the little adventure, had disappeared without warning. What if she reappeared here and Dash wasn't there to meet her?

It took her a few extra days to decide to finally move out of Violet after getting the Zephyr Badge. ... Geez, maybe Jack's touristy mentality was rubbing off on her.

She's just gotten through reluctantly placing some of Kaitlyn's left behind Pokemon into a PC (minus her Togepi and Furret, out of worry) and saying goodbyes to her coworkers (sure, she didn't try very hard at her job, but some workers had to admit she was entertaining to have around) when she spots Heather in the lobby. Dash is the Spirit of Loyalty and friendship is friggin' magic-- she can spot a familiar face anywhere.

The whispered talk of the nurses behind her just makes her narrow her eyes, and she approaches Heather without hesitation, albeit with some empathic caution.]
