<sub>[Heather's been scarce. There are a few reasons for this. One, she's sort of embarrassed about having her butt totally kicked by Falkner, and two... she's also kind of totally broke, and doesn't dare try to stay in the Pokemon Center now that she can't afford the hotel. So it's camping ahoy on the outskirts of Violet for her! Needless to say, she's been a bit broody.]

[When the camera comes on, it's dark and she's got a fire going, the flickering shadows lending the solemn look on her face a little gravitas. She notices this right off the bat and wrinkles her nose to dispel the whole 'there is obviously something wrong and I have been sitting here being angsty and weird for a week' look.]</sub>

Sup, guys.

It's all muggy out here and I don't feel like sleeping. I can't be the only one, so...

_{[She doesn't feel like rambling this time. There's too much on her mind. So she just cuts to the chase.]}

What was everybody doing right before they wound up here in this friggin' place?

_{[She somewhat conspicuously doesn't offer up her own answer, but adds, with a grin that's not too genuine but looks like it is (which is what counts, after all)--]}

Bonus points if it was something super embarrassing like being in the shower or something.

I was composing songs, actually!

And not in the shower, either.

[foolishwren]

What-- Rise, don't lie. You were totally in the shower.

You're one of those shower-singers, aren't you.

_{[She'd wanted a distraction, and now she had one! HAVE GOOFY FAKE ARGUMENTS WITH FRIENDS.]}

[video] ... now someone has to show up here directly from the shower

[bakaitoukid]

Walking home from school. [as evident by how he's like always wearing his school uniform] I'm surprised my school bag didn't come with me.

[video] I can see the entry post now. 'And for the first time, 'Mom' was completely speechless.'

[foolishwren]

That would just make things too convenient, I guess. The universe is a cruel thing.

I was in an airplane.

[voice]

[foolishwren]

Flying to where?

_{[C'MON, MAN, DETAILS. HEATHER IS BORED. ENTERTAIN HER.]}

[voice]

[pollyanna-boy.livejournal.com]

...I was somewhere... unpleasant.

[voice]

[foolishwren]

_{[Ohay, a stranger! Heather raises a brow, looking interested.]}

... Gonna share some details or is it the kind of unpleasant that has to be left all cryptic and ominous?

voice;

[airwinged.livejournal.com]

Making my way through a city, and trying not to get stomped on by an animal taller than Sprout Tower.

[HE'S PRETTY FREAKING TRUTHFUL ABOUT THIS.]

[Voice]

[foolishwren]

.... Man, where did you come from?

_{[Not that she doesn't believe him. She's been through... similar things herself, even if none of the wtfmonsters in Silent Hill were as tall as skyscrapers.]}

[radiantxsmile.livejournal.com]

[She notices the look, missy. |: But she won't be pointint it out or ask too many questions. She'll go right to the point herself.]

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I wasn't in the shower before this world snatched me away. Thankfully.

I was sitting on top of a mountain of sorts waiting for a friend. He disappeared from my world to search for his light and I promised to wait for him. I picked that spot to do just that. [She giggles a bit.] Sounds like a boring story, doesn't it?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

_{[What no way you didn't see anything here, no ma'am.]}

What? No naked shenanigans? I am disappoint.

And uh-- .... well, 'boring' isn't the word I'd use for it... but, sounds pretty dedicated. A mountain, huh?

[video]

[itsthebutz.livejournal.com]

Getting dumped.

[He sounds as mopey as he looks. Bad memories...rushing back...]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Previously, Heather'd had no idea that eyes could even get that big and woobly.]}

Sucks, man. Why were you dumped?

[video]

[newhero.livejournal.com]

Well..

[Sora just stares at the screen, smiling slightly. he'll need a minute or so to figure out how to explain what he was doing right before showing up in Johto.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[Slooooow head-tilt! Earth to Sora!]}

Yeah?

I was cutting the salary of my chauffeur for making me late for my studies.

[annoyed face]

[video]

[foolishwren]

You were... dude, a chauffeur? _{[That's right, Fran's whole attitude sort of did scream 'rich and snooty'...]} I wish I had chauffeurs.

_{[Only she really didn't, because Heather honestly wouldn't know what to do with herself if she was rich anyway.]}

What a perfect excuse for this icon :D

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

[why not? Sorry Heather, he wasn't in the shower]

Just got out of the hospital. I was gonna go celebrate with my friends.

a;lsdg;lsv;a;f;f YES.

[foolishwren]

Hospital? What were you in the hospital for?

[Video]

[boobie-lady.livejournal.com]

It certainly is rather muggy, isn't it...? [She's used to cold mountain air, so this weather is killer.]

But actually, I was doing... almost the same thing I'm doing here: trying to help a very good friend of mine.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Your friend's here too, huh?

[usedsketch.livejournal.com]

Was on my way home after a really long day. Long month, actually.

[ Except, here, 'home' means 'Heaven' and the 'long month' involved manipulating the hell out of dead teenagers. And trying to get a few wiped out of existence. ]

Wound up here before I made it. Kinda wish they'd let me get one last look, y'know? But hey, at least I got to see my long month turn out alright.

... got a friend who turned up here naked, though.

[foolishwren]

Wow, what a bummer...

... And oh man, who? Could it be that my desire for a hilarious story involving nudity could finally be fulfilled??

[boldandresolute.livejournal.com]

As far as I know, I was somewhere in the middle of the Iraqi desert.

[Any details beyond that were... unpleasant.]

[foolishwren]

_{[Over the past couple of months, she's gotten to know Liquid well enough that said details were probably not something she wanted to hear. Or that he wanted to talk about. So she didn't ask.]}

Guess it must be much nicer here.

Hey, how're you and Otacon doing?

[4canard.livejournal.com]

What was I doing? Playing a video game, haha. I actually thought this place was part of it, at first!

[foolishwren]

Must've been a pretty intense videogame if it was as realistic as this place.

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

I was in a New York apartment with Snake, looking for someone.

[video]

[foolishwren]

_{[From giant robots to New York apartments. Crazy.]}

Who were you looking for?

[video]

[puzzling]

Haha, I suppose if someone did arrive her while taking a shower, they will not admit it, Miss Mason. That would be quite embarrassing.

For me, unfortunately, I was in the middle of teaching a class back in London. I apologize if you wanted an embarrassing arrival. I did have some embarrassing adventures here and back home though...

[Did he mention that he got lost on Route 29? God he sucks]

[video]

[foolishwren]

Well--... yeah, but there wasn't any harm in asking, was there?

... Anyway. Share some embarrassing stories, I need a laugh.

[video]

[catbitesgirl.livejournal.com]

I was... getting ready to go to school.

[video]

[foolishwren]

... Didn't make it there, huh?

[video]

[overthedratini.livejournal.com]

I wasn't really doing anything, actually.

Ehehe, not-- Immediately, anyway.

... How have you been, by the way?

[video]

[foolishwren]

Me?

Eh, been better. But I'm not like, dying or anything.

How about you guys? You and Kay and Kaito have gotta be in the next city now, right?

[video]

[knaveofthewind.livejournal.com]

Me? I just got done saving Camelot and the Knights of the Round Table.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Camelot...?

... You sure don't talk like someone from an Arthurian legend...

... What's your name, anyway?
