023. Video (Action for those in and/or outside the Violet Pokemon Center)

[ooc: Slightly backdated, it's shortly after Heather finished her emotional rollercoaster convo civilized discussion with Liquid.]



_{[Feed cuts in on Heather's face, with the city streets in the background bobbing up and down as she walked. She looks... still exhausted, but better than before! That doom and gloom has sort of lifted.]}

Okay. So. Forgot to say anything about this, but-- back in town. Was gone for awhile and stuff. I miss anything? You guys didn't have too much fun without me, did you?

_{[There's a metallic swish as the door to the Pokemon Center slides open and she steps inside, despite her... professed antagonistic relationship with the resident nurses.]}

Anyway, on a more serious note, bunch of you've beaten that Gym guy lately...

... Anyone got tips?

... Otacon, I'm lookin' at you.

_{[Oh yeah, she saw that video post, even if she'd been a little too preoccupied to comment on it.]}

[foolishwren]

Same here. This place seriously loses its charm after awhile.

I just wanna beat that Falkner guy, and then I'm outta here.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

When do you plan on taking him on?

[video]

[foolishwren]

Not sure... Maybe within the next couple of days?

I'm feelin' pretty confident.

_{[This was a bad omen.]}

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

If we're still here, I'm definitely coming to watch.

[video]

[foolishwren]

You're the best, man.

I'll letcha know when I'm going in-- I just wanna make sure my guys are rested and stuff, y'know?

_{[Long week and all.]}

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You'll want to make sure they are. Falkner's no pushover.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Well, figure he must be SOMETHING tough, otherwise nobody'd brag about beating him!

Arty's been able to take on more or less anything that I can't, so I think we're in a pretty good place.

_[No.]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[little does Kaito know]

I bet you'll knock him out of the water!

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Heather was rough, Heather was tough, but Heather also needed a bit of a reality check.]}

Damn straight!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Confidence! It's a good thing.

[video]

[foolishwren]

I'm pretty good at the whole confidence shindig.

... But I'm totally modest, too.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[amused snort]

Oh yeah?

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Dead serious face.]}

Oh yeah.

Humility emanates from my every skin cell.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

You think we could collect it with a bucket?

[video]

[foolishwren]

Maybe more like a bathtub.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

In that case, you should share the modesty!

[video]

[foolishwren]

Wh-- but it's my modesty! All mine!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

But you have so much of it~

[video]

[foolishwren]

Did I mention I'm also really greedy and possessive?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Everyone has their faults.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Can't argue with ya there!

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Maybe I'll just have to steal some when you're not looking.

[video]

[foolishwren]

O-ho. Think you could?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

I know I could. [and he definitely means that in more ways than one]

[video]

[foolishwren]

I'd like to see you try!

_{[... And she doesn't even have an inkling that if humility was indeed a physical substance, he could.]}
