88. [Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[There was a bit of radio silence on Heather's part for awhile there... but here comes a video post! Because... yeah, uh. Probably a good idea to show everybody she's not DEAD.]

[The girl on the screen looks exhausted. The baggy shadows under her eyes never really seem to go away entirely, but they'd at least gone tame for awhile. Now they're back full force. It seems excessive, maybe, getting so broken-up for days over losing one person, even if that person was her best friend. ... But as she'd found out, he hadn't been the only one she'd lost that day. And she's not totally sure how she feels about it. ... About them both. Just that she's tired. BUT AT LEAST SHE'S NOT PUNCHING ANYTHING, RIGHT?]

[She seems to be leaning on (or... INTO. It's very... voluminous) a sort of... soft white MASS of some sort-- whose identity is revealed when a sharp hooked beak (that is... mostly obscured by fluffy white down) descends into the frame and starts to groom Heather's rat's-nest hair with a quiet twitter. Sunny makes the best pillow.]

[Heather doesn't waste any time before cutting right to the chase, speaking with a bored drawl (that's partially to justify how croaky her voice is-- SCREW EVERYTHING she's a bored teenager she doesn't need to sound nice!).]</sub>

Right, so.

Gonna beat Morty soon and then get outta this town. Nothin' left to do here, really.

So, uh.

We can either head over to Cianwood and see about getting Fly. ... Not that I have anything big enough to fly on, but. Y'know. For the heck of it.

OR we could head over to Mahogany. Which is... well, closer I guess.

So... I dunno. Thoughts? Anyone? Bueller?

[...okay, even Crow wouldn't risk flying on a bananasaurus.]

You guys need to get some of those! They're essential for traveling, y'know.

[Biased forever.]

_{[crow you are a wuss. Flying banansauruses are literally the most badass mount you could ever ask for.]}

...Well, we've made it on foot this far.

_{[Her tone is a little wry.]}

[No. No, it's not. It's a banana tree and dinosaur chimera. How do you trust that with anything, especially carrying you a few dozens meters above the ground? He'll stick to birds, thank you very much.

Never mind he's flown on a dragon that came out of a card before. That still makes more sense than bananasaurus.]

It ain't that fast, though!

Either way, you should get some rest before you leave. You look terrible.

[... Crow Hogan and his daily supply of complements.]

<sub>[Okay fine you stick with your lame birds and Team Silent will just fly around on their magical fruit-dispensing brontosaurus.]

[She snorts a little at Crow's bluntness. She doesn't mind. She knows she looks like emotional roadkill.]</sub>

Don't worry. I plan to.

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[Oh sure, go ahead, but don't blame him if you get grounded the moment the sun goes down or hides behind the clouds and your magical brontosaurus can't conduct photosynthesis. Have fun with that.

Seriously now, even though Crow knows he didn't leave her by herself, he was a little worried and the way she looks kind of confirms his suspicions.]

... You're gonna be okay, right?

[foolishwren]

<sub>[yeah well AT LEAST THEIR DINOSAUR CAN PROVIDE THEM WITH SUSTENANCE without them having to kill it and eat it. LIKE BIRDS.]

[But she shrugs and offers a smile.]</sub>

'Course I will be. I always am.

_{[NOPE she doesn't know what's coming yet...]}

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[LIKE WHAT, TWICE A YEAR? Big deal. At least his birds of pray can hunt for him and bring him. Magikarps to eat or something. TAKE THAT.]

You better! Sad face doesn't really suit ya.

[IF ONLY THEY KNEW...]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[YEAH WELL... MAGIKARP TASTE TERRIBLE.]}

Heh... yeah, I'd rather be smiling.

_{[THIS CONVERSATION IS TERRIBLE TOO ;-;]}

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[SO DO VEGETABLES and yet they're said to be good for you. SO THERE.]

I expect you to the next time I see you over the Gear!

[AND ONLY GETTING WORSE]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[SO DO ROCKS AND THEY'RE NOT GOOD FOR YOU AT ALL SO THAT LOGIC DOESN'T WORK, SPARKY.]}

Don't worry. I'll be all bright and sunshiney, I promise.

_{[MAKE IT STOP.]}

[video]

[darkenedgales]

[ROCKS AREN'T MEANT TO BE EATEN. FISH ARE.]

I'll take your word for it!

[NOPE.]
