_{[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.]}

I'm not much of a lawyer.

[He spun her around and pushed her toward the bathroom. SHOWER TIEM IS NOW.]

Go. Make yourself presentable.

_{[The heels of her boots left dusty white tracks on the carpet as she was pushed.]}

Jeez, hey, all right, all right! I'll make sure not to come back until I meet your dainty white-glove standards!

_{[Giving his hand a playful smack, she rolled her eyes and headed off towards the showers. Normally she'd do it right in her hotel room, but eh. She was here. Whatever.]}

Good.

[He'll wait. He wants to know what his brosis has been up to.]

_{[Fortunately, one of Heather Mason's superpowers is the ability to shower AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. ... Or, you know, just... get in long enough to rinse off all the dirt and then get right back out again. She emerges ten or fifteen minutes later, wet and bedraggled but at least not looking like Pigpen.]}

Am I clean enough to pass the Liquid test now?

I suppose you're passable.

[To really pass the Liquid test with flying colors, she would have had to be in and out in ten minutes with perfectly styled hair, making a grand entrance that would have put the Olympic gymnastic teams to shame.]

I'm more than passable! I'm at least above average.

_{[Alas, Heather wasn't quite up to doing flips and making speeches.]}

But anyway... what'd you and Hal get up to while I was gone?

... The G-rated version, please.
