foolishwren | 64. [Voice/Action for Goldenrod] Backdated to Friday/Thursdayish.

_{[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.]}

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

_{[Of course it's not a daaaate date, heavens forbid. Heather hasn't even been on one of those since... sheesh. Early high school, probably...]

[She shoulders the door open for him, shoving her hands into her vest pockets. She's more than happy that the weather's warm enough for her to have ditched the sleeves at last.]}

So!

What all'd I miss while I was off in the middle of nowhere? Tell me everything!

You think I was lying about Goldenrod being boring

[shrug]

I even kept an eye on the radio tower while you were gone. Nothing has happened as far as that place is concerned.

Really? Well, I guess no news is good news...

_{[Though she's not sure she likes the idea of the Rockets being so quiet.]}

Oh well. As soon as I've got my bearings back here, we can get down to business on that stuff.

I dunno if that's true in their case. Not if they took over an entire tower.

[a sigh] Yeah. I have some plans. [nevermind that most of those plans involved his posse of Kay and Johan... :(] Shouldn't be too hard to put some of them into action.

Guess you got a point there...

_{[Heather, too, had at least planned on having a little more backup than just herself and Kaito... she may not have known Kay was a thief, but she DID know that she was gung-ho for adventure and that counted for a lot.]

[But regardless, she'll do her best to make up for the loss of Kaito's bros. :(]}

We can talk 'em over later, do some brainstorming. In the meantime, though, where d'you wanna eat?

[They still have Crow, at least, whom Kaito knows will be more than happy to help out]

Dunno. Why don't you pick?

_{[Good ol' Crow. At least the WHOLE gang wasn't dissolved...]}

Hmm... Y'know, I could murder a decent hamburger right now.

[snort] Should I feel bad for the hamburger?

[buut quickly switching directions to head toward the hamburger shop!]

_{[She'll go right along with him! It wasn't as though she hadn't had plenty of supplies for the road, but dried fruit and beef jerky only did so much. Heather was always leaner and meaner when she got back into town after traveling.]

[As for the question, her reply is delivered in total, deadpan seriousness.]}

No. Hamburgers are too delicious to deserve pity.

Too late! I feel badly for them anyway.

[snickering as he says that]

Well, fine.

You can go have a lame salad or something. I will devour meat like a MAN. Without mercy.

Salads are for wimps.

[YAY HAMBURGER RESTAURANT UP AHEAD]

Wimps and weenies.

_{[That restaurant is a sight for sore eyes. She reaches the door and yanks it open.]}

After you, Sir Smiley!

When did I become Sir? [buuut stepping inside anyway]

Well I could call you ma'am if you'd prefer.

_{[She teases, she teases. Stepping in after him, she lets the door swing shut again.]}

Ha. Don't make me laugh.

[he also teases as he searches for a seat, since this seems to be a seat yourself kind of place]

You know you'd like it.

_{[She follows, only to grab his sleeve after a second.]}

Ooh! Hey! Let's get a booth! There's CUSHIONS and I've been sitting on a Steelix for two weeks.

[He pauses, and turns toward one of the booths. They're in luck! One is empty]

Race you.

[NO RESPONSE, JUST RUNNING]

_{[Someday, these two are going to find a restaurant that actually kicks them out for their antics. ... But thankfully, today is not that day.]

[Instead they just get some odd looks and glares as they sprint for the available booths-- Heather jostles more than a few thankfully-empty seats in the process.]

[She throws herself backwards into the seat when she gets there, sliding a little across the slick material.]}

HA!!

[JUST AS HE SLIDES INTO HIS CHAIR]

Beat you! [nah more like a tie]

Wishful thinking.

My ass was in this seat at least a whole second before yours was.

_{[Yeah it was a tie.]}

Edited 2011-05-11 22:34 (UTC)

No way! You were one second too slow!

_{[She swings her legs around under the table so that she can face him, elbows on the table's edge.]}

Your internal clock's backwards.

[leans back in his chair as the waitress comes to serve them]

Nope. It's perfectly fine.

Says you. But I know better.

_{[She orders a hamburger and a chocolate milkshake from the waitress because it has been a LONG time since she's been able to properly eat horribly-unhealthy-but-delicious food.]}
