58. [Video/Action for Violet City]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Heather is sitting in the lobby of the Violet inn. This would not be too remarkable, except for the fact that there's a couple of gift-y looking boxes in front of her. She's staring at them with an expression that's a ... very weird combination of confused and... slightly unsettled.]

[Pretty much only the fact that one of them had Kaito's name on it was stopping her from throwing them away entirely. The one from flaming blanket man was even more baffling. Obviously neither of them were what made this weird in the slightest-- Kaito was one of her best friends for crying out loud, and the Proff' was probably the least threatening person she'd ever MET-- but mystery gifts held some unfortunate associations for Heather. ... But hey, even if they didn't, the boxes' existence left her with a resounding case of ".... HUH?"]

[Why were they here?]

[Was it some kind of silly prank?]

[Did they think it was her birthday?]

[WHAT WAS THIS.]

[She had to know, so ... when in doubt, turn to the network.]</sub>


So, uh....

_{[The camera's not showing the boxes (since she has no idea anyone else got any so she's not sure if she should show them or not.]}

Any of you guys get mail that-- ... uh...

_{[... And then her brows furrow.]}

... Wren-- Wren, cut that out.

<sub>[She gets up abruptly and the network'll get a glimpse of an obscenely fuzzy young Murkrow with an epic case of bed-head plumage sitting on top of one of the boxes and viciously fighting with a bit of ribbon before the feed cuts out.]


[Anyone walking around the inn will find Heather looking at the boxes with a mixture of trepidation and confusion.]</sub>





[TEXT TO KAITO]

Hey Kaito, uh

What's up with the boxes?

[video] SO HERE I AM SITTING WITH A BUSTED GUT AND OF COURSE I DECIDE TO TAG

[dontshootmebro.livejournal.com]

[because I totally don't have backtags to get to...B|

someone is on break and chilling with her Zubat somewhere on the outskirts of Violet]

...Is it some kind of holiday?

[video] GOOD THINKING THERE! ..... but seriously dude, rest yoself!

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather looks TOTALLY baffled when she replies.]}

I... don't know?

I mean, I don't think so...

[usedrage.livejournal.com]

It's White Day, Heather-san. It's a response to Valentine's Day--I think it's a Japanese holiday, though.

[SOMETHING ABOUT.

CANDY COMPANIES WANTING MORE MONEY.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

... White... Day?

Okay, hang on a sec...

_{[Chances are by the time she's answering her messages, she's heard a little about White Day from others in the hotel by this point, but she's still a tad confused.]}

That makes sense, but... s'not like I gave anybody anything on Valentine's Day.

[miniworth]

Did you give a lot of gifts out on Valentine's?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Uh.... no?

I didn't give anybody anything.

... Well, I let 'Zilla eat some chocolate, but...

[action] these two needed to meet.

[soulcool.livejournal.com]

[He'd just left his room at the inn (after coming home from an EPIC DOUBLE BATTLE and dumping his shit off, of course) when oh look; HELLO GIRL WHO HARASSES HIS LITTLE BROTHER wait he doesn't know that yet]

... 'Sup?

You're lookin' at those things like you're expecting a kishin to come flyin' out of'em or somethin'.

[action] YES THEY DID

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather doesn't move her eyes from the boxes. She's just... been watching them, chin on her fist.]}

... Not entirely sure one won't...

[text]

[bakaitoukid]

What boxes?

[text]

[foolishwren]

Er-- the stuff you sent.

You know!

... The candy?

_{[Okay so it wasn't TECHNICALLY in a BOX but it was a package all the same.]}

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ oh, look! A Heather in a lobby!

CLEARLY RISE MUST HARASS HER. ]

-- Oh, hey! You got White Day stuff!

[action]

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather looks up, brows raised.]}

Oh-- Rise! I--


.... Wait, White Day?

<sub>[SO MANY PEOPLE WILL BE HEARING HEATHER ASK THAT QUESTION TODAY.]

[In any case, she looks SINCERELY baffled. Come to her rescue Rise.]

[... Though before anything else, as she approaches, there will be a baby Murkrow hopping towards her feet with flared wings and an open beak. THERE ARE SHOES AND THEY MUST BE ATTACKED.]</sub>

Wh-- aw, Wren, jeez, leave her alone.

[action]

[foolishwren]

_{[... She looks over her shoulder. OH! WELL HEY.]}

Uh-- HEY.

Scratch, right?

[foolishwren]

_{[Oh boy does THAT statement get a repulsed face out of Heather. She... has NOT had good luck with secret admirers in the past. She's just grateful these packages had NAMES on them. Took the creepy away.]}

What?

Naw, no way.

One's from a friend. The other's from-- ... _{[... SOMEONE SHE WAS MEAN TO ACTUALLY but there you go.]} Anyway, ugh, no thanks to secret admirers.

[justicereigns]

It's White Day.

[Believe it or not, this is an explanation.]

[foolishwren]

So I've heard.

So... what, it's normal to get stuff like this on White Day, then?


_{[ooc: Oh hey! I've been meaning to ask-- will Jango be participating in the Tower take-over?]}

[video] FOR LAYTON'S GIFT, IT CAN EITHER BE VALENTINE'S DAY OR WHITE'S DAY GIFT SO YOU CHOOSE

[puzzling]

[ISN'T THIS AN OLD FACE HOHOHO]

Ah, are all of those gifts yours, Miss Mason? It seems as if you have gotten quite a lot.

[video] XD IT'S OKAY FOR IT TO BE WHITE DAY

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Splutter.]

[At least now she knows what they're FOR.]</sub>

I-- yeah, well-- just from a few people. But that's okay! I mean, I didn't send anyone--

... You really didn't have to, Proff'.

[boldandresolute.livejournal.com]

[Outside of the hotel, there was a noise like the flapping of great leathery wings.]

[A moment or two later, a Pokemon (http://images.wikia.com/pokemon/images/e/e6/Aerodactyl.png) walked inside, carrying a large package. The package was wrapped in cloth and hanging from the Aerodactyl's oversized maw like a very terrifying stork delivering a baby.]

[Nothing to see here, just a dinosaur in your lobby.]

[Sup, Heather. This is for you.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[... NEEDLESS TO SAY, THERE'S A LOT OF GASPING.]

[Not, of course, that people aren't used to large Pokemon sometimes being inside buildings-- but an Aerodactyl wasn't exactly a common sight. Especially not a Trainerless one, given that whole 'extinct in the wild' business.]

[Heather looks up-- AND IS MILDLY HORRIFIED.]</sub>

I-- ... wh-- Ancalagon, what're you--?!

_{[Shooting a glance around at the rest of the lobby, she runs up to the dinosaur Pokemon and plants both hands on the end of his snout, trying to shove him back towards the door. It... doesn't do much.]}

Outside! OUTSIDE!

_{[lol no heather.]}

[Action]

[cleartranquilit.livejournal.com]

[Peaking around Heather's body from behind and blinks cause whoa girl. You got a lot of lovers there. Or at least boys who like you.]

Kinda look like gifts, there. What's wrong with that?

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[ALGAS;LGF;.G. Were three packages really that many?]}

I-- uh, nothin'!

Just caught me by surprise, that's all.

[Video]

[catsteward.livejournal.com]

[...for the way she's staring at the packages, one would think he'd mailed her the heads of all her beloved pokemon]

....it isn't going to explode, you know.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Let it be known that if he'd done that, she would never troll him again. But please don't do that.]

[When his face pops up on the screen, she actually jumps slightly, her expression unsure.]</sub>

I didn't think it would.

... But why'd you send it?

_{[SUSPICIOUS HEATHER IS SUSPICIOUS.]}

{Video}

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

Boxes..? What's the date today?

Oh! It must be 'White Day'!

{Video}

[foolishwren]

So I've heard...

_{[She sounds sheepish now, mostly.]}

[video]

[gemhunter.livejournal.com]

Looks like something from a secret admirer.

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[EUGH why did people keep SAYING that. Heather wrinkles her nose and makes a nasty face at the concept, possibly not helping change the 'kid' impression she'd made on Rouge at all.]}

Ugh. No, thankfully.

_{[Unless Gaga was a creeper. She really hoped Gaga was not a creeper.]}
