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.]}

Nothing wrong with that!

I never have understood how they heal the Pokemon like that.

Really? Thanks!

[Aoko has joined your party!]

((ooc: So I noticed we both decided to troll Kaito on that mistletoe meme. :3))

Yeah. Sorta funny how they have such advanced tech here yet only the cops seem to be aware of the concept of cars...

_{[She heads for the door, stretching her arms over her head as she goes, wincing as something in her back pops. Sitting on a Steelix for a week or two was hell on more or less every limb.]}

Ow.

But yeah, uh, no prob!

_{((ooc: Haha so I saw!))}

That's probably something we'll never understand.

[She saw the wincing, and heard the "ow".]

You okay?

Great!

((ooc: it's making me laugh))

M'fine. Snakes made of metal aren't exactly the most comfortable rides, y'know?

My butt's gonna be sore for basically ever.

_{[She's sort of regretting not... tying a bunch of pillows to the thing.]

((ooc: XD Heather and Kaito have had hilarious mistletoe threads before-- any opportunity for them to have awkward blushy moments is too much for me to resist.))}

Aw, that sound horrible!

((ooc: Awww, they must be so b'awww. No one can ever resist cute moments like that with Kaito.))

Let's just say the next time I get the urge to hit the road again, I want a ride with a saddle or I'm walking.

_{[... BUT HEY, AT LEAST THE WEATHER'S NICE.]

((ooc: Haha nope XDD))}

Hahaha! That seems like a good idea.

[The weather is very nice. And it makes Aoko very happy.]

((ooc: he's too squishily adorable for that))

Yep. No more robot snakes for me.

_{[Heather's just glad she can finally ditch the coat-- the girl's allergic to sleeves.]

((ooc: INDEED. I'm still surprised that he and Heather wound up being such good friends. XD I had no idea what MKDC was before I joined Route.))}

From now on, you'll get cushions and soft beds!

[Nooooot possible~]

((ooc: o: KIT HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW DCMK. It's too awesome to ignore.))

Or at least somethin' softer than steel, anyway!

_{((ooc: XD; HAHA I'M AFRAID I DON'T WATCH A WHOLE LOT OF ANIME, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE MAIN REASON.))}

Yeah, that would be pretty good!

((ooc: LOTS OF PEOPLE DIE, THERE'S A BIG BAD ORGANIZATION, AND IT WILL NEVER END.

That's all you need to know.))

_{[They're nearing one of your standard street-side snack stands, now-- it's one Heather's gotten used to tracking down on a regular basis. Because dude. HOT DOGS, man.]}

Better than metal.

SO. You've seriously never had one of these before?

[She looks at the hot dogs.]

Um....I think I might have. Not really sure.

... Wellp. Only one way to find out.

_{[She heads up to the vendor and asks for two.]}

Guess so.

[After paying, Aoko takes her hot dog, and bites into it. After a minute or two, she smiles.]

Mmmmm, this is good! I think I might have had one when I went to an amusement park.

Not bad, huh?

_{[She grins before biting into her own. OH GOD HOT FOOD YES.]}

Yeah, they're really good!

[She grins as she takes another bite.]

Not sure where they originated, but I used to have 'em every summer when the carnival came through town.

Really? I bet that was fun!

Yeah. Lots of fond memories.

So, have you been getting to know everybody here?

I'll bet.

Yeah, everyone seems really nice!

... Yeah. S'too bad you didn't have more time to get to know Kay and Johan. Those two'n Kaito were pretty much inseparable.

Really? They were that close?

[nnnnggghhh Heather, you make her feel a little sad now.]

Mmyep! They went everywhere together.

_{[She'd known Kaito about as long as they had, probably-- but there was a difference between getting to know someone over the network for the most part, and getting to know the people who traveled with you, ate with you, and slept under the stars with you.]}

I didn't know 'em as well as he did, but they were pretty cool. _{[Always friendly-- friendly to a FAULT, even. But not weak. Hell, Heather hadn't needed to know Kay well to know that the cheerful little teen was downright hardcore.]}

Sounds like all of you had good times together.

[How she wishes she had come here earlier.]
