93. [Video/Action for Cianwood Inn]

[Well, THAT had been fun.]

[After over a week, lots of bad weather, a few waterlogged hugs and a whole lot of flying, Heather's finally back on Cianwood, with a nurse, a mysterious young woman, a bird-obsessionist, and a magician-thief in tow.]

[She's exhausted and wants nothing more to just faceplant on the bed and let her father play host to the new additions to the 'family' (and the one returning member) for awhile... but as usual, something's come up.]

[The feed comes on from above-- she's flopped on her back on one of the hotel room's beds, hair still curly and wet from the shower she spent at least forty-five minutes in after arriving back on the island. She'd had to use an unoccupied hotel room (with Arty guarding the door to make sure no unsuspecting guest walked in on her) to do it on account of the fact that she'd been accompanied by four equally tired and dirty people who ALSO needed showers.]

[She picks tiredly at one eye, the camera wobbling above her on account of being held up with just one hand.]


Sooo.

Yeah, I uh... was totally planning on visiting some people on the way home, but... yeah.

All that weather sort of sucked all the sociability out of everybody. Sorry, Cliff. Wish I'd made it.

[YEAH, she's spoiling the surprise, but hey, she can always drop in on him and Ironhide later, assuming no giant storms pop right the fuck out of nowhere like last week. Ugh.]

But anyway, back safe and sound, nobody died, the world's still turning, chocolate and peanut butter are still an awesome combination, life goes on. Hope nobody got too battered during all that crazy apocalyptic weather.

[And around this point is where she'd usually turn the camera off (and maybe she intended to but is just so damn tired it slipped her mind) but the screen blurs as she rolls over, propping herself up on her elbows and resting the 'Gear against the bedspread next to her instead. Next to it are two things--]



[--a battered old medallion with red marks inscribed on it... and a piece of paper. The camera's gaze only lingers on it for a second or two, but quick readers might be able to make out the words Make her suffer written in loopy handwriting before the 'Gear moves again.]

[This time, it's aimed crookedly at the side of the bed, where the somber, doberman-like face of a Houndoom is watching the off-camera Heather in silence.]



....


Gonna have to come up with a different name for you.


[End feed.]



[AUDIO // LOCKED TO COOPER]


[Later that night:]

Hey, Coop.

You got a minute?

Heh, I'd be pretty disappointed if you had.

[slides off the bed and streeeetches a bit]

Yo, Cujo!

[and the Growlithe gets a few headpats]

That's why you're name is Awesome-san.

[He says matter-of-factly as he follows Heather down the hallway and towards the stairwell, chocolate and marshmallows in hand. It had been a while since he had seen Johto's beaches... it would be a nice, reminiscent night]

Cianwood is kinda out of the way, isn't it? It doesn't see as much traffic.

I'd say it's no wonder the beaches are much nicer.

[snicker]

Isn't he always?

[Kaito walks behind her, hands linked behind his head, and as he walks a small purple blur suddenly skitters up his leg and arm, perching happily on his shoulder. The Aipom's tail swings side to side slowly, almost like a grandfather clock, across Kaito's back]

It's the same for a lot of us, isn't it? [a slightly fond smile] They really grow on you.

[Biz lets out a cheerful little chirp, and naturally, his third hand dips low towards Kaito's pocket. But the magician is ever-prepared... he snatches that hand away before it can grab anything]

Biz is lucky he has me. I dunno who else would put up with him.

[There's fondness lacing the insult, but it earns him a pout from his monkey bro anyway]

[He snorts in amusement and kicks some sand back at her, halfway in retaliation, and halfway to help clear some debris to start their fire]

-- hey!

[And then there is a yelp as he lifts his arms to block the water droplets spread all over the place by Cujo's vigorous shaking]

Geez... if I wanted a shower, I would've taken one before we left.

[action]

[personal profile] bakaitoukid 2012-06-30 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Think Cujo will hold still long enough to start our fire for us?

[he brushes a few water droplets from his forehead, before he kicks through the sand, searching for pieces of driftwood that would best serve as fuel for their fire]

[grins when they're done, wiping his hands on his pants and nodding towards the excitable Growlithe]

Cujo's up, then!

[Lifts a hand to cover his face from the heat (and any stray embers that might fly from the newly created fire) and grins]

Much better than a lighter.
