<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.

Yeah, I thought that to.

But coming here was the last thing I wanted after spending several months in a body cast.

[foolishwren]

It was the last thing I wanted, period.

But the bodycast thing would totally be an extra piece of bummer.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

You have no idea. I couldn't move and I itched all over and god it sucked. At least I could give high fives.

What were you doing?

[foolishwren]

Fighting alien invaders.

_{[Which meant she'd actually been sitting on her ass, thinking about how lame it was to have saved the world and, one year later, be a jobless bum who spent most of her nights watching lousy television and eating leftover take-out. But hey, these fake 'fighting ' answers have been working out pretty well so far, so she's gonna keep giving them out until someone calls her on it.]}

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

That so. What kind of aliens?

[foolishwren]

Oh, you know. The standard grey kind.

Physically not too strong, but their laser weaponry is state of the art.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

I thought the standard greys used telepathy. I suppose they could have weapons on their ships.

[He may or may not have had this discussion with Ted and Marshall. Not canonically mind]

[foolishwren]

No, they most definitely have lasers. I've seen 'em. _{[UFO ENDINGS ARE CANON.]}

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Even so, 83% of science fiction movies tend to have the standard greys using telepathy. It was the LGMs that used laser guns.

And Stormtroopers. How good a shot were they?

[foolishwren]

Hey, who're you gonna believe, a science fiction movie or someone who's actually met them?

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

You got proof?

[foolishwren]

Considering none of us showed up here with anything apart from the clothes on our backs, I'm inclined to say 'no'.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Alright then. [Skepticism abounds.]

Why'd the aliens attack anyway?

[foolishwren]

Eh... difference of interest, I guess.

They wanted to destroy the world and shit, and I kind of liked the world, so I stopped 'em.

[usedsuitup.livejournal.com]

Figures. That's what they're usually doing.

[foolishwren]

Yeah. I mean, you know aliens... destroying the world is basically their national pastime.
