114. Fourth Wall Post [VIDEO/ACTION FOR ANYWHERE]

.... Yeah.

Yeah, you're in the complete wrong region.

Mount Moon's in Kanto.

_{[Heather huffs out a sigh and takes hold of Cujo's mane as the wayward Grey and his weird spacedog head back to their spaceship, which had landed conveniently on top of one of the Pokemon Centers, barely even remarkable in the middle of all the other chaos that's happening.]}

Man, at this point, the only thing that could surprise me on weekends like this are things staying normal.

The last time I saw him before coming here, he was...much different.

[Homicidal, psychopathic, unstable, there was all that genocide...]

[foolishwren]

Different doesn't mean lobotomized.

He's mellow, not a drooling vegetable.

_{[SHE DOESN'T KNOW, OK LUST. He's implied a few things but she has no idea he was once a stone-cold killer.]}

[Lust blinks, raising her eyebrows.]

I didn't imply he's a drooling vegetable. You must read too many dime store novels.

[Drooling vegetables? Really, Heather, she's talking about a proper medical procedure with proven results performed in licences hospitals, not some madman pounding ice picks willy nilly into people's craniums.]

_{[Heather looks sort of indignant. HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE HER, AN IMPRESSIONABLE-LOOKING YOUNG TWENTY-SOMETHING PUNK, OF NOT KNOWING WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT?]}

And you must be stuck in the 1800's.

They barely do lobotomies anymore.

They have medication for stuff like that.

[a_sin_for_him]

Medication? [Lust's nose wrinkles.]

Why treat the symptoms when you can eliminate the cause? What sort of logic is that? If someone shatters a limb, the doctor doesn't just give them medication, they operate to repair the bone.

[foolishwren]

Yeah, except a lobotomy is more like treating a broken arm by cutting it off instead of givin' the person a cast.

Plus, you know a lot of the people they gave lobotomies to weren't actually sick, right?

_{[Heather's not honestly a huge history buff. ... But spend seven years stewing in the basement of an old hospital, while your psychic abilities grow unchecked... you learn a lot of unpleasant things about what went on inside those walls.]}
