_{[When the screen comes on, it's pointed straight at the sky-- specifically, at the deep, smoke-gray thunderheads starting to roll in. The foliage just peeking over the bottom of the screen's view is whipping around in a frenzy, buffeted by the foreboding winds that have sprung up in the face of the storm.]

[Heather's voice then cuts in over the roar of weather. She's YELLING to make herself heard.]}

Can you BELIEVE this!?

Can you friggin' believe this?!

All day yesterday I'm slogging along through the heat and then the moment I get to the city to actually chill around in civilization, THIS happ--

_{[A handful or so of wet leaves is quite suddenly plastered against the camera lens. Thank you, 60 mph wind. Thank you]}

Ackplthh--!!

PLHHHFFLT! If I have to spend another week sitting in the Pokemon Center in order not to drown, I am gonna...... oh boy.

_{[Aaaand here comes the rolling wall of pure downpour. The camera turns sharply and any viewers still watching are treated to a tilta-whirl of grass, dirt, a running Sentret, and occasionally Heather's boots as she high-tails it away from the rain.

She'd left the dating world-- temporarily was her reasoning at the time-- before Silent Hill had ever decided to come poking into her life. And then once it did, well... There were a lot of things about her old life that just... went away.]} Not that I'm an expert or anything.

But like I said, don't worry. You got nothin' but time.

Thanks, Heather.

.... Hey, don't mention it.

Does it look like you pokégear is working?

_{[WHEW awkward subject over.]}

... Oh! Right. _{[Looking down at the screen, she gives it a couple of taps-- then her face brightens.]} Heeeey, look at that! _{[She holds it up-- the screen is a little fizzly, but it appears to be working.]}

That's great! Maybe it will get better over time.
