_{[It's dark. But judging by the orange, flickering light lighting up Heather's face as she does the customary squint-at-the-screen-to-make-sure-it's-recording motions, she's got a campfire lit. Satisfied, she puts it down on her pack and adjusts it a little before taking a seat in front of it. She's already laid out the sleeping bag and everything.]}

[Cujo the Growlithe and Arty the Sentret are both out of their Pokeballs, for once-- both are curled in a furry heap somewhere just barely in-view of the camera. Both are asleep .... unlike whatever owned the big red glowing eyes that were glimmering faintly in the dark somewhere behind Heather's back. She doesn't seem too concerned, though, as she's not paying much attention to them, for... for some reason. ... You'd think she'd be concerned.]
Yo.

Sorry to disappoint and all, but unfortunately, my little science experiment did not result in my death, so here I am to annoy you all a little more. Merry Christmas.

I'd also like to extend my thanks to Zack for helping me out with it. He fought valiantly in the great bee battle._{[She flips the horns at the camera and gives a serious nod.]}
You rule, bro.

Anyway. Was hopin' to catch one of those things, but by the time I got back to the scene of the crime-- _{[Why yes, the 'great bee battle' HAD mainly consisted of them running like sissies back to Cherrygrove. Is anyone surprised by this?]} -- they'd all decided they had somewhere better to be. Figures. Ignorance always flees in the wake of science, am I right?

Anyway..._{[The customary pause in which she remembers what she'd originally decided to annoy people via pointless video transmissions for anyway. ... After a moment or so, she snaps her fingers before tugging her knees to her chest and propping her chin on them. Now she remembers. Camping in the woods at night was something she'd never done as a kid (she and her father hadn't really been the country type), but every kid knows there's a few traditional activities one must take part in. She doesn't have anything to make s'mores with, so that left...]}
Oh yeah. So. Nighttime on the way to Violet City. Did I mention before that these woods are creepy as hell at night? Camping sucks. But... I'm bored, and even though I'm prooobably gonna regret this...

_{[She sort of wished she had a flashlight to hold under her face spookily, as was tradition, but aw heck.]}

...Anybody got some good ghost stories?

[ THIS IS LIKE THE PLOT OF A HORRIBLY IRONIC SCARY MOVIE, and Rise's definitely flailing now. ]

If I wanted to trick you, I'd come up with something far better than that! You've got something with red eyes behind you!!

_{[AT LEAST IF IT'S AN IRONIC SCARY MOVIE, HEATHER'S PRETTY GOOD AT THOSE SO SHE SHOULD BE OKAY.]

[Heather just stares blankly at Rise, as the eyes slowly get larger and larger... until they're right there...!!]

[And then, just like the movies, Heather slooooowly looked over her shoulder-- the scream would be coming any minute now...!]}

... Oh! That's just Claudy.

_{[She scoots aside slightly, letting the firelight fall onto.... a Hoothoot. *ROLL THE LAUGH TRACK*]}

...

... ... ...

[ Rise turns away from the camera briefly, but one might faintly hear: "IT WAS AN OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWL--" ]

.....

HAHAAAA you shoulda seen the look on your faaaace!

_{[The Hoothoot blinked its enormous ruby eyes and slowly tipped to one side, its non-standing foot held tightly to its underside.]}

I-I can't help it, big red glowing eyes don't usually mean something cute and feathery!

[ And the Mareep is a little wide-eyed herself and pressing her muzzle against the camera in an attempt to... sniff the Hoothoot.

... Yeah, she's young. ]

Okay, okay, I guess I can't blame you. Still. _{[GREAT BIG GRIN. Yeah she's never gonna let Rise live that one down.]

[Fortunately, for Rise's dignity, Heather is then distracted by something. That something is the OMG BAYBEEEEEE]

... Oh my god, is that the baby?! _{[She leans in to get a better look OMG SQUEE. Heather doesn't really like HUMAN babies, but ANIMAL babies? Those little fuckers are adorable and she fucking knows it.]}}

[ Rise is considering sulking, but thank god for babies. The little Mareep lets out a tiny bleat of surprise, because oh hello there human! ]

Yep, this is Posie! Isn't she cute?? [ yep. Such a girl. ]

_{[Underneath the tomboyish exterior and snarky personality, Heather loves cute girly things just as much as any other female teen. She's already spent whole conversations fawning over Otacon's Asimov, and being jealous over not having a Mareep, herself.]}

Oh. My. God. She's adorable! Hi, Posie! Who's a good girl?! _{[The Hoothoot behind her leans curiously towards the screen as well.]}

[ Though initially surprise, Posie's ears are perking up and the next "Ree!" she makes is a happy one, bouncing in place. ]

We're really going to have to catch you one! They're great.

_{[FHGHGHG;S;FLDFJLGSL cue melting.]}

Totally. I NEED ONE IN MY LIFE.

_{[Of course, knowing Heather's luck, if she caught one, she'd wind up with like... a GRUNGE Mareep or something.]}

[ look at how happy she is! And SO DAMNED FLUFFY. ]

How far away from Violet are you? I've been taking her out to see how the others train, and who knows, she might attract other Mareep.

_{[SO. FLUFFY. ALKGH;LDSFG;LSDF;LG]}

I'm... uh, I'm somewhere on Route 31, I think... I looked at the map and I think I should be there by afternoon tomorrow? Maybe?

That's great! I'll hang around and see if I can meet up with you!

Aw yeah, friggin' sweet! Maybe we can train and stuff, I've kind of been... bad about that.

_{[Her Pokemon had more or less been gaining levels because she was letting them chase wild stuff around like retarded turkeys, not because she was actually training them.]}

It's more fun with company, isn't it? Let's do it!

[ Rise's gotten better. Although half of the time, it's encouragement instead of... actually giving commands. ]

_{[ooc: XD Sometime tomorrow I can post a log of Heather getting into Violet City if you wanna RP the EPIC POKEMON BATH.]}

It's a plan!

((ooc: I would love to. XD ~~THEY WILL BE AS CLEAN AND PURE AS A MAIDEN'S CHASTITY~~))

Okay! Try and get some sleep tonight, then!

_{[ooc: IT IS A PLAN THEN *DIES FOREVER AND IS DEAD* I still need to draw that.]}

All right, all right, I'll try! Can't say how successful that'll be after all the SUPER SPOOKY STORIES I've been hearing... _{[She's joking, buuuut the stories HAVE mysteriously contained a lot of her phobias for some reason... probably because the world hated her.]}

((ooc: ~~even your beautiful art can't save it from being so horridly awful.~~))

[ Rise shudders just at the mention of SPOOKY STORIES, cuddling her sheep closer. ] Better you than me.

_{[ooc: THANK YOU BUT IT IS NOT AWFUL, IT IS GLORIOUS AND IT SHALL BE DRAWN.]}

Aw, no sweat. I've lived worse than this. _{[Aaaaand she'd be hearing that horrible birthday song over and oooover as she tried to fall asleep oh godddd...]}

So have I, but still...
