94. FOURTH WALL

[foolishwren]

<sub>[If anyone stops to check their 'Gear in the midst of all the chaos unfolding, they will find an extremely odd text message originating from the 'Gear of Heather Mason.]

[Or more accurately, it's the image attachment that's odd.]






[Apparently, some nurses have stolen Heather's PokeGear and are using it to take Myspace pictures.]

[Wellp.]</sub>




[ooc: Feel free to tag in with any scenario or character you want, it doesn't necessarily have to involve the text message, the nurses, or their godawful duckfaces! GO WILD, just let me know where you want the thread to take place!]

[There is a piece of junk mecha with its limited artillery pointed in said nurses' direction.]

[Nobody messes with bb sis.]

Need some help, Heather?

[foolishwren]

_{[FROM SOMEWHERE BEHIND THE COUNTER, nursing a nasty bump on her head.]}

Why the fuck not, blow 'em to kingdom come.

_{[Heather is so sick of this shit. >:(]}

[usedwaterpulse]

H-Heather?! What ARE those?!

Video;

[foolishwren]

<sub>[What's that? You're talking to Heather?]

[Sorry, the nurses are callin' the shots now!]

[And they're posing. Because now they have an audience.]</sub>

[likediamond]

What unique company you keep, my dear.

OH SHIT WINDOM--!

[foolishwren]

Not by CHOICE, I assure you.

[allouryesterdays]

[At some point when those nurses and their duckfaces aren't around, Heather will be approached by a young woman who looks to be around her same age. And who is wearing an oddly heavy perfume, with the very faint smell of rot underneath.]

[Dante is looking for answers, and Heather looks less confused than she is. She smiles politely.]

Excuse me, but where is this place? It doesn't look like anywhere in Amestris I know of.

[foolishwren]

<sub>[YES because screw the nurses and their duckfaces. They probably posted to their facebook and invited everyone to a party in the Silent Hill gang's hotel room or something. SO HEATHER IS OUTTA THERE and disgruntledly browsing some shops in town.]

[She looks up dully at being addressed. Poor Dante. Heather's not having a good day and is thus inclined to be fairly blunt.]</sub>

It's called Johto, welcome to the land of Pokemon, 'Amestris' is probably really far away, you're not in Kansas anymore yadda yadda.

[video]

[goodcop]

[AT FIRST SHE'S WEIRDED OUT BUT THEN there's a slight chuckle]

Nice to see you're making new friends, Heather.

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[CYBIL! What a relief.]}

I wouldn't exactly use the term 'friend'.

[restardom]

[ don't mind the pigtailed idol in the vicinity staring at the nurses like...

... well.

This. ]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[WELCOME BACK, RISE.]

[It's too bad Heather's currently nursing a large bump on her head and generally preoccupied. Otherwise she'd have noticed the way the nurses had turned their attention to the adorable idol who had just popped in.]

[OH LOOK! A pretty girl! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.]

[IT'S MAKEOVER TIME.]

[Because being fussed over by a pair of eldritch abominations is clearly what all idols need to go through, right?]</sub>

[usedsuitup]

[Mouth opens. Then closes. Opens again. Closes. Until.]

I have looked at a lot of myspace pages. I have stared into the depths of myspace and not come out unscathed, there are seriously no words to explain it. This? This takes things to a whole new level.

[The surrealness of the situation is getting to him.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[As it should. As it should.]

[And to make things even MORE awkward, the nurses seem charmed by his... Barneyness.]

[They're totally making kissyfaces at him. ... Or... well... one of them is. The other doesn't really HAVE a face.]</sub>

[sizeofabarge]

[Out on a route somewhere, know what Gaston is doing in this newfound land with all its interesting wildlife?]

[Trying to shoot it of course! Stantler sure has interesting looking antlers.]

[Whenever Heather comes across him, he'll be fairly easy to spot, and taking aim. And looking kind of frustrated because these weird deer keep seeming to know exactly when to leap off out of the way.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Well, Heather's not ENTIRELY opposed to shooting wild animals... it's something she's pretty good at herself, after all even if all the ones SHE shot were rotting abominations that were trying to kill her.]

[But... shooting harmless wild Pokemon? That aren't even attacking? >8( Come on dude.]

[She decides to take the time out of her walk to say something.]</sub>

HEY!

The hell're you doing?

[takechuhome]

W-What are they, Rena wonders...

[foolishwren]

The answer to that starts with 'u', ends with 'y', and has a big UGH sound in the middle.

_{[aka why are you posing for facebook photos, nurses. YOU ARE NOT SEXY]}

[Video]

[heavyweaponsbot]

[HEY HEATHER guess who's right outside wherever you've been accosted.]

...

This is not funny.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Guess who's always happy to see Dadbot's real form after all those awesome Silent-Hill-exploding memories they forged together?]}

Ironhide! Hey!

_{[Heather has a sizable lump on her head, but she's still with-it enough to be glad he's showed up. HELP HER GET HER 'GEAR BACK FROM THE NURSES PLS]}

[Video]

[finheaded]

Oh man, and I thought regular humans were ugly.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[From off-camera. Heather is allowed to be indignant on account of her race.]}

Those are NOT humans.

[Video]

[inursatellites]

[WATCHING.]

[JUST WATCHING.]

[If he breathed, there would be creepy mouth breathing here. Seriously.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[olawd. WHAT.]

[It's a good thing Heather's gotten very used to that 'being watched' sensation in Silent Hill. Not to say it doesn't still creep the hell out of her, but at least it's a deja vu sort of thing.]

[Still, when she looks down at her 'Gear and sees... uh... THAT... she just sort of stares back.]

[8I well this is awkward. And creepy.]</sub>

... The fuck're YOU lookin' at?

[Video]

[fuckinstoplights]

[You up for another giant robot, Heather?]

[HOPE SO.]

['Cause here's another. Staring.]

What's this?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[If it means getting to look at something other than the nurses who hijacked her 'Gear? She's up for anything.]}

Probably something ironic, but I'm too annoyed to think of a good joke.

[subtlecoruscate]

Cute.

[Where's the dislike button?]

[foolishwren]

I'm just gonna take this moment to be horrified with your taste.

[used_realtears]

[Nobita nearly falls out of the sky, screaming, when he sees the picture. Luckily, he's experienced enough to catch himself. The screaming continues, however.]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MONSTERS!

[They may just be images, but still.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Screaming! Good. Monsters like screaming. They're posing even more.]}

Action becaue I love you

[usedmask]

...Now I've seen everything.

[dontcallmesis]

[Walking by Heather. Wait person. Hopefully you speak English, Zack isn't with her this time.]

Hey you wouldn't happen to know where a phone is, would you?

[foolishwren]

A phone?

_{[Sounds like English! Ivy's in luck.]}

If you need to make a call're something, you can borrow my 'Gear.

[video]

[lol_less]

...I knew it girls are weird.

[nowherefast]

<sub>[So Laura has no idea where she is, of course, but she's on the outskirts of Cherrygrove, staring down a Ponyta.]

[What a Ponyta is or where it came from, she doesn't know, but basically? Yeah, she's pretty lost right now.]

[MAINE. HALP.]</sub>

MEME CONTINUITY BECAUSE WHY NOT

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Well, Heather's not totally attentive even on the best of days, and today's chaotic enough to place it firmly OFF the list of 'best days'. She's busy freaking out for a moment over how a step into the hallway had resulted in CHERRYGROVE.]

[BUT.]

[One large fiery horse was quite interested in the much-smaller fiery horse over there on the edge of town. Snorting, Carousel comes trotting over to greet the Ponyta.]</sub>

[walkwithbob]

<sub>[Wherever she is, a feeling slowly descends in the area, or the room, that closes it off. She'll probably recognise it after a while, but like last time, BOB doesn't immediately make himself known.]

[He'll just let that ambiguous pressure simmer for a while. Because he's nothing if not a cat who likes to play with his food.]</sub>

[foolishwren]

<sub>[Oh yeah. You bet she's familiar with that. As luck would have it, she's not in the hotel room-- that could be awkward to explain to her friends.]

[She's out and about, enjoying some time away from the newly-expanded crowd that was her traveling party. She'll be regretting making that trip out not too long from now.]

[She pauses halfway through digging old Potion receipts out of her pocket to throw away in a trash bin.]

[Where the hell did THAT feeling come from...?]</sub>

[action]

[exeggutorhead]

[Staring. What is he even looking at.]

[Heather you attract such weird things on these weekends, but from what he remembers of the last few, this one might be the strangest.]

What are those?

[action]

[foolishwren]

What, you didn't run into any of those while you were visitin' the hospital?

_{[Her tone is long-suffering. WHY DO THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO HER.]}

Wanna help me kill 'em?

[video]

[ineededthat]

[HEY HEATHER GUESS WHO?

Ratchet manages to look really disgusted.]

What in the Allspark are those monstrosities?

[video]

[getthehorns]

[ HELLO don't mind the staring ]

... Ratchet?

[quickattackjack]

<sub>[A wild skeleton appears, holding his head and muttering to himself. Something is on his mind and it sounds like something terrible!]

[Investigate, Y/N?]</sub>

[foolishwren]

_{[Y! She recognizes that skeleton!]}

Hey!

Jack!

[ action ]

[getthehorns]

[ IT'S ROBOT INVASION DAY, because you have another 'bot peering in your window ]

You okay in there?

[ action ]

[foolishwren]

_{[SUP CLIFF she remembers what you look like!]}

Me?

YEAH.

Fine.

Just fine.

TOTALLY dandy.

Around

[adoptivemother]

[Well guess who does remember you...]

Cheryl!

[foolishwren]

--Mom?
