_{[The entry is dated as having been sent out the previous evening, roughly when she said she'd be reporting back to begin with.]}

[Despite Heather's best efforts, her Pokegear got pretty wet in the adventure, so video and voice is out.]


[There's nothing in the transmission but a picture:
Heather, along with three others-- Kay, Luke, and Rhode-- all of them looking wet (three guesses as to where THEY were for the past few hours!), exhausted, and bedraggled, but nonetheless relieved, are among the milling crowd in Violet City's brightly-lit Pokemon Center, which as expected has been packed to the brim with relief efforts and people seeking shelter. Heather has a towel around her shoulders and is presumably holding up the Pokegear to snap the photo. She's wearing a weary grin and doing the classic thumbs-up gesture with her free hand.]

[Along with the photo, there's a caption:]

Mission Accomplished.

Congratulations!

[foolishwren]

Thanks. Not drowning is nice. :)

[bakaitoukid]

Let's just hope you don't get sick, either.

[foolishwren]

lol I think I already might be.

But no biggie. I'm not planning on going out again any time soon.

[bakaitoukid]

Take a few days to rest, then. Seems like everyone is getting sick in this weather.

Miss Heather, you really did put up the picture!

[foolishwren]

Gotta prove to the world that we survived, don't I?

[Text]

[dementeddream.livejournal.com]

Yup, this is certainly one way to prove it.

How are you feeling?

[foolishwren]

Sick as a dog, but I guess that's to be expected.

[Luke's wrapped in a blanket, sniffling and sneezing, but other then that alive.]

Y-you and m-miss Kay were really something else! Did you build that boat all by yourself?

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather doesn't have a blanket, but she HAS been more or less slumped in a chair for quite awhile with a styrofoam cup of soup. Recuperating process: 3.4% complete.]}

Heh, thanks! And uh, not entirely. Sp-- I mean, Pete helped me out a bit.

[hintcoinplz.livejournal.com]

[Soup cures all.]

R-really? I thought maybe detective Douglas showed you how to do it...

[Because obviously Douglas is just like Professor Layton.]

[foolishwren]

_{[That has a bit of a bittersweet tang to it. Oh, what she would have given to have met Douglas under those circumstances.]}

Oh? Hahah- uh, no, not exactly! ... Actually, most of that sort of thing that I know, I learned from my dad.

_{[She doesn't wanna burst the kid's bubble about Douglas though, so she doesn't elaborate.]}

[Guess who else is pretty much dead on their feet?]

[The nerd that hasn't slept in three days and has crashed on the nearest couch.]

awww otacon awww

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It doesn't surprise her. Hadn't he claimed that he was one of those people who like, never slept earlier? Figured he'd crash sooner or later. Poor guy.]

[Heather herself has been slumped in various seats as they free up-- it's pretty crowded, unsurprisingly. She's been keeping an eye on Otacon though. .... Well, when she hasn't been sulking over her newly-acquired cold.]

[Glancing over at him now, she shrugged off one of the blankets she had eventually nabbed from the cupboards (it stood to reason that the Centers'd have them, considering the sheer number of bedraggled travelers they took in under even normal circumstances), and sort of... tossed it unceremoniously over him.]

[THERE~]</sub>

[Legends told of the mysterious couch-dwelling snake that hid under couches waiting to devour its prey from the ankles up. Truly a terrifying creature.]

[Or at least, it could be if it wasn't Kotai. Who was about as harmful as a six foot purple shoelace and now sneaking out from under the couch to nudge at Heather's hand for attention.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It was a tale handed down through the generations and resulted in many children forever being terrified of stepping too close to the couch without taking a flying leap onto it so that their feet didn't get in eating-range.]

[Heather had not heard these tales. But even so, she jumped belatedly when the big purple elongated hot dog nudged her hand]</sub>

SONOVA--- .... oh!

_{[Oh okay, it was just a giant purple snake. :D Cool.]}

Hey, buddy.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

It's good that everyone's okay.

[foolishwren]

You could say that again.

[seasalttwilight.livejournal.com]

But you honestly went out in this weather?

[foolishwren]

Well, I didn't want to just hang around being useless. Anyway, it's a good thing I did.

[yattagarasu.livejournal.com]

[ someone is lavishing her Wooper with praise in between coughs, while wrapped in a blanket. ]

Well, that was fun!

[foolishwren]

Buckets of it!

... I'd say let's do it again sometime, but I think my boat's busted.

_{[She kind of just... left it outside at the water's edge.]}

[yattagarasu.livejournal.com]

... Well, it had a better end than the Titanic!

[foolishwren]

True. Good thing there aren't any icebergs floating around in the flood. That would have sucked. Then we'd have had to watch Leonardo DiCaprio drown and it wouldn't have been pretty.

_{[Shut up, Heather's a child of the 90's.]}
