108. [Video/Action for Mahogany]

_{[There's been a lot of people leaving lately.]

[Which means a lot of Pokemon left behind.]

[Today's video is brief. Like maybe six seconds long, and it starts outside the PokeMart in Mahogany Town. You know, where delivery people sometimes show up with mail too big to be sent through the PC. Someone else is holding the camera-- possibly Henry.]

[There, sitting right down there in the dirt, is Heather.]

[Surrounded by approximately five million Mightyena.]

[... Okay, more like six.]}

WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH ALL THESE DOGS?!!

_{[End feed.]}

_{[Oh god. It's the dog girl again. This time, Heather isn't secretly fond of the animal she's ranting about.]

[Still, through gritted teeth, she shouts:]}

Sit! SIT! Argh!

_{[... Yeah, it. It doesn't really work. Heather's commanding presence is sort of gone when she's sitting on the ground with dogs all over her. They do SIT... it's just... ON her.]}

...Maybe you should have waited to do that.

[No really, Jade?]

...Shit, um, are you okay?

_{[There's a pause, and then her answer floats out flatly from somewhere between all the furry bodies.]}

This is how I am going to die.

Oh, come on, I can think of worse ways to die--like a shaving cream can explosion!

[Jade this is not the time to talk about happy memories from home.

She leans forward into the feed to see if she can spy Heather amid the pack of doge, but evidently concludes that she won't be able to see much from where she's standing.]

Hey, can one of you fetch your trainer, please? I am trying to help her negotiate your lovable furriness right now and would really like to see her face while doing it.

You've never been ripped apart by a pack of dogs before, have you, kid?

_{[Spoilers: Heather has]

[Grumbling aside, though, one of them at least moves aside enough for her head to poke out of the pile. She is wearing a frown to rule all frowns.]}

The cosmos hates me.

No, but I did die in a shaving cream can explosion, and sundry other ways in other timelines that I am not aware of but still exist. We were not talking about being ripped apart by the dogs, though, these are friendly lovingly-smothering dogs.

[She can ascertain from this that Heather has a huge phobia though, whoops.]

Sorry for poking a proverbial bear?? Anyway, you can at least stand up now, can't you?

Ripped apart, smothered, it's all dogs.

_{[Ignore her Jade she's just a giant sourpuss.]}

I have a few more hairy butts to shove off of me before I can do that.

_{[She does start to, though. DOG BUTTS MAKE IT HARD TO STAND UP.]}

Oh come on now, you can do it. See? You are doing it right now, like a snow plow--except for butts!

Yeah, I always wanted to be a buttplow when I grew up.

_{[What a majestic mental image.]}

You never know, it could be a part of many young girls' dreams while growing up.

[She's an enabler of all the majestic mental images. But mostly she's kidding.]

Anyway, as long as you are not in direct danger of loving dog death anymore, it's okay, isn't it? ...How did you even get all of those dogs?

_{[Once she's actually standing upright, she brushes clumps of long, wiry gray hair off of herself.]}

A friend of mine left. He apparently thought I wanted his canine army.

_{[Her voice is disgruntled, but the REAL root of her grouchiness is... well. Not the dogs. She says 'left' rather than 'disappeared', even though it's really the latter.]}

Oh...hm.

[Friends leaving is not a fun thing to realize, though. She feels bad for all the ribbing at Heather.]

That sucks. [Unfortunately, Jade can't think of anything comforting to say besides empathizing.]

_{[Truth be told, that's all right. After being here so long... it's hard to really BE comforted after a loss, and people trying to just tend to fall into the crack between 'well-meaning' and 'grating' and plummet into the pits of awkwardness.]

[So ironically, when Jade fails to find the right words, Heather actually loosens up and lets out a sigh that's more resigned than pissy and exasperated.]}

... Yeah.

I guess it's just the way life goes here, though.
