_{[It's dark, and the sound of boots on gravel are all that can be heard at first. It's not an out-of-control run like the last transmission, though. After a couple of seconds, the screen turns to show Heather's face, fairly faint but slightly illuminated by the glow of the screen as she walks.]}

So uh... yeah. Looks like I finally got to Cherrygrove. Better stylishly late than pathetically never, right?

_{[Though she looks far from stylish-- still covered in mud and scrapes from the Great Sentret Chase, and though it's sort of hard to tell with the crappy light the screen provides, she looks pretty darn tired too-- rubbing those eyes with a grimy fist. Still wearing an exhausted grin though.]}

Seems like a pretty nice little place. More happenin' than that first one... though not by much ...

Anyway... those of you who've been here, are we allowed to crash at those Center places, or are there hotels...? Or what? ... Oh yeah, and if there's not a laundromat, I think I may in fact have myself a pretty epic freakout session because I'm a walking mud pie and it's damaging my calm.

[Working is dumb and for adults. Luke is pleased Heather understands the seriousness of this situation.]

Uhm, I don't think that's very gentlemanly to do that. At least, I think so...

Hm! I suppose I could help out a bit in exchange for some money. We certainly need to stock up on supplies before leaving again, who knows how long it takes to get to the next town!

_{[Heather remembers being Luke's age all too well, and totally empathizes. Kids should be able to run around like hooligans and climb trees and shit, not work! But since it looks like everybody's in the same boat...]

[Also fff awww he's too polite to be a brat like Heather used to be and beg (or threaten) for free stuff awww.]}

Yeah, a lot of the people who've already headed out say that it takes about a week to get to the next town. Trail mix definitely won't cut it. Not to mention, umbrellas'll probably be a smart buy if it starts raining again somewhere along the line.

A week?! [And he thought three days was a long time. He isn't too happy about this news.]

Ah, I suppose it wouldn't. I guess I'll have to spend most of my money on food then. I hope there's no more downpours for a while, at least.

Yeeeeah. It sounds like things will be tougher after this. _{[She actually kind of hopes that the kid won't try going it alone, because... well, a week is an awfully long time for the really young trainers to be on their own...]}

I'm gonna get a job at the Center, I think. If you need any help paying for food and stuff, I should have a little to spare.

I was afraid of that. I hope I can get there without the Professor... [he sounds a little unsure.]

A-ah, really?! Thank you, miss Heather!

Hmm... DO you have anybody to travel with? Did you get here all on your own...?

_{[If he did, she's impressed! ... She's just not sure it's a good idea for him to try and repeat that feat on a week-long trip... How old is he anyway? Nine? Ten?]}

Um, I got here with Mr. Bear and Hoppip's help! [Both Pokemon, unfortunately.]

_{[Oh boy... well, Heather herself was arguing earlier that the whole point of Pokemon was to make it safe to travel by yourself. Buuut...]}

Well... uh, I guess that's pretty good protection!

_{[Except that he'd talked about Hoppip not being able to fight earlier, hadn't he? Damn... Heather wouldn't press the issue right now, but she's a little worried about him.]}

Uh-huh! I bet Mr. Bear could give some of those mean Pokemon a lesson about manners! [No other mention of Hoppip, because well...it's Hoppip.]
