_{[It's probably been a week and a half or so since anybody's heard a whole lot from Heather's end of the line-- given the recent turn of events, coupled with catching up on things with her father, she just hasn't been talking much.]

[But if anyone missed the sound of yet another ranty teenager on the 'Gear network, well, today their wishes and hopes will be realized.]

[A crackle of interference precedes her voice, and in the background there's the steady rumble of a Steelix making headway on a dirt path.]}

Heeeey Johto, what's crackin'?

Totally fell off the face of the planet for a bit there.

Anyway, for those who care, Goldenrod just came into sight over the hill, so Dad and I'll be strolling into town within a couple hours, probably.

I'll be lookin' for a few of you as soon as we get checked in and stuff-- you guys know who you are. _{[She's lookin' at you, Kaito. Dinner plans aside, she still needs to give him that hug.]}

And uh-- Snake, you still in the hotel? I'll heal Solid up at the Center first if you want me to, but otherwise, I'm sure he'll be glad to see his Trainer. Sorry the trip wound up takin' so long.

Anyway, uh-- ... see you guys in a few hours.

... Feel free to call me up and chat, though, the road's dusty and it's a real bore to look at for hours on end.

_{[ooc: For Action, feel free to encounter Heather in the hotel lobby or Pokemon Center healin' up her monsters after arriving.]}

Hopefully this'll be the last of it. If I ever have to see Violet again, I think I'll kill myself.

And uh-- yeah.

He, uh-- showed up a couple weeks ago. He's with me now though.

[He laughs.] Yeah, Violet's nowhere I'd want to be either. My group might be moving on to Ecruteak soon though.

[He does look kind of curious. The subject of fathers in general is iffy for him, but she seems happy about it, so...] Well, that's good. Someone from your world that's family too.

Yeah, I... never thought it'd happen.

_{[Or... never thought it would happen again, rather...]}

I haven't heard too many people with family showing up, so...congratulations, I guess, on the luck. [Grin. But there's something in her tone that makes him curious.]

Or is it more than that?

_{[... Well, there wasn't much point in hiding it... even Harry had been open from the beginning about the fact that he was dead. Which was kind of a comfort... for both of them.]}

My father was murdered a year before I was brought here.

[Envy...hadn't seen Harry's initial post, so he definitely looks surprised at this information. And then the tiiiniest bit contrite.] Sorry for bringing it up.

Must be especially good to see him again, though.

S'okay. I've had time to get used to it.

... But yeah. It is good.
