_{[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?

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Yes, these wood are a little scary...

[Of course she cheers up at the ghost stories] Oh! I know a good story! My uncle was the one who told me!

...I was traveling with a ghost. Does that count?

Hah, but really, for stories... I dunno. Got lots of stories, most of them true, but I'm not sure how scary any of them are.

Really! Let's hear it.

_{[Heather doesn't scare easily, but come on, middle of the woods, pitch black... she doesn't even LIKE ghost stories. It just seems like the thing to do.]}

[ forget stories, she is POINTING A FINGER-- and one goddamned adorable Mareep is staring at the camera with fascination. ] H-Heather, behind you--

I heard 'bout the bees. Glad everyone came outta it alright, sister.

[ There's a pause as he considers the ghost story thing -- well, hey, he's been hanging around the afterlife long enough that there has to be something worth telling. And camping out does get boring, even in his part of the woods.

He hasn't noticed the eyes yet. ]

I might have a story.

[Rhode cheerily claps her hands together] Let's If I remember how it goes...Oh!

They says there is person called The Earl of Millenuim. It's said he can only appear when death visit a household.

They say he sports a really big top hat and is always grinning just like this. [She shows Heather a big tooth grin which looks a bit eerie since have her face is in the shadows]

... Yeah, sure, I'd say it counts.

And hah. Same goes for me, and I know they're scary. But they're not appropriate campfire material.

_{[Or appropriate ANYTHING material. In any case, Heather's not looking for legitimately skin-crawling stories-- just stupid stuff. You know, 'I am the ghost with the bloody finger' and the like.]}

Hmm... dunno what I've got for good campfire stories. My friends and I used to tell them in high school at night, since I went to a boarding school on an island with lots of creepy school rumors going around, but I think my teacher was better at that than I was, hehe.

...Said teacher being the one who actually became the ghost some time after. Guess it makes sense, when you think about it that way.

_{[Slooow blink. ... And then she laughs.]}

Oh, come on, girlfriend, you don't think I'm gonna be fooled by that old trick, do you?

_{[The red eyes blinked. And-- ... OH SHIT THEY'RE GETTING BIGGER!!!]}

Yep, not gonna lie, it was pretty fuckin' brutal. Those things are crazy.

... Yeah? _{[She props her chin up in one hand.]} I don't have anything better to do tonight, so by all means, feel free to share.

...Congratulations on your continued survival.

[ 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!!

Yeah? And what does this Earl do?

_{[Based on her fairly-extensive knowledge of creepy shit in general, she's gonna guess that it's either massive slaughter or driving people insane or something.]}

Nah, Heather! You rule!!

That was fun as hell!

[... not that he realizes this, but... literally.]

He'd kneel next the the greiving person and silent offer his condolence. Then, he would ask a question.

"Would you like me to bring your loved one back?"

[She even goes as far as lowering her voice and adding a loving tone. Which is knows is what the Earl does.]

A ghost teacher, huh? Sounds pretty good. What were some of the rumors?

Well, a lot of them revolved around an abandoned honors dorm that had been set up a few years before I came, like how people disappeared there, and they eventually closed it because of those disappearances.

Turns out people really did disappear there, though, because of a sinister force at work on the island that kidnapped them.

...No, really.

_{[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*]}

Thanks! Yeah, I'm pretty much a prodigy.

How YOU doin'?

We'll have to do it again sometime!

_{[Except... without the poisoning. She was kind of glad he apparently didn't remember that part. She wasn't about to tell him about it, either. Ignorance was bliss!]}

[Oh, he remembered alright. He just didn't care! Getting wounded in battle was just part of being a SOLDIER.]

Right on!

Lemme guess, if they say 'yes', some sorta horrible 'Monkey's Paw' dealy goes down, right?

_{[It touched a bit of a nerve, hearing a story about getting a loved one back. But hey, nothing like that had shown up after Harry died. Just his killer. And a shit-ton of monsters.]}

Oooh, eerie. Any specific sinister force, or just, y'know, the generic kind?

You wouldn't be the first person that needed a talent for it.

I've been... well enough.

[This roughly translates to "I can't wait to sleep in a real bed again."]

_{[Oh, well in THAT case~]}

So you almost to Violet, too?

Bet I can beatcha.
