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.]}

Dude.

I think you misunderstand me.

_{[She beckons a little bit, as though inviting him to lean in closer to the 'Gear's screen, like she's about to share a secret. And accordingly, her voice is lowered.]}

See, I don't give a crap about whether he can fight or not. _{[And she actually knows that he can-- damn well for a kid his age, no less.]}

He could kick your butt six ways from here till Sunday and I'd still stomp you into the ground because you picked a fight with somebody I like havin' around in one piece.

_{[... well, no, that's hyperbole. If Sora sent Vanitas skulking back into the underbrush like a lion-bitten hyena, Heather probably wouldn't do anything. But it sure SOUNDS good.]}

He couldn't 'kick my butt' if my hands were tied behind my back. [Rolling his eyes, no, he isn't leaning closer to the gear, he'll just speak louder.] Yeah? Well I'd rather he were in five pieces.

I can.

And I'll kick it until you don't even have an ass anymore. Would you like that to happen?

I'd like to see you try.

_{[For the briefest of moments, Heather considers quoting that Yoda line: 'Do or do not, there is no try.' And then she realizes that only hardcore dorks quote Star Wars lines other than 'Luke I am your father' and 'May the force be with you', so she ditches that idea.]}

I'll do a hell of a lot better than try. How's that for a good deal?
