_{[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.]}

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.

Dude, it was like... flying all over the place, and like, scratching peoples' faces with its claws, but I totally just whacked it in the head every time it flew past.

_{[WRONG, HEATHER. YOUR DAD WAS THE ONE WHO FOUGHT FLYING PTERODACTYL MONSTERS. YOU JUST GOT NAKED OBESE GUYS AND GIANT FISH WITH LEGS.]}

[cracks up laughing.]

That sounds kinda like something I fought back home! I bet you beat the snot out of them, too, huh Heather?

You bet I did!

_{[The specifics might not be truthful, but Heather has fought plenty of monsters, so she doesn't feel too bad about making up goofy versions to tell people rather than the honest truth.]}

[Heather is quickly shooting up on his list from "people who are cool" to "people who are HARDCORE."]

Good! Geez, you must be an awesome fighter.

_{[HEATHER MASON: SUPAR IMPRESSIVE TO TEN-YEAR-OLDS. ... Or however old Sora is.]}

Well, I don't like to brag, but...

[14, actually! he's just short, that's all. really short]

No, you can brag! What other awesome things have you done?

_{[HE IS SO ITTY-BITTY AND PRECIOUS. And way more pleasant to be around than most fourteen-year-olds that Heather remembers when SHE was that age.]}

We-ell...

_{[Now here's a dilemma. There's not really much of any way to childproof the stuff she did in Silent Hill, apart from leaving it as 'I kicked ass' and not much else. LOL I KILLED GOD.]}

I totally kicked the butt of a haunted house.

[fff, oh man, but he does have his bad side! it's just... fifty times easier to get on Sora's good side than it is his bad side. his eyes widen to the size of flying saucers at Heather's comment, though.]

A haunted house? Holy cow, how did you do that? I beat up a house once, but it wasn't haunted.. it was possessed by a bag of bugs.

_{[As long as he's not making inappropriate gestures and fart noises and everything else Heather remembers male eighth graders doing, it's all good.]}

Well, I basically just decided it was a jerk and pretty much told it off right to its face.

_{[And by that she meant ran for her life from the Advancing Red Light of Doom, but same thing really.]}

[no need to worry- though a fairly typical teenager, Heather is currently speaking with the Reigning Supreme King of Oblivious. hormones? yes. the impulse to make inappropriate jokes and gestures? not so much. that, and Sora's not really sure if Heather would appreciate fart jokes as much as he does.]

Whoa.. That's all it took to win?

_{[Heather has a healthy sense of immaturity when it comes to humor, but as a general rule, fart jokes fail to amuse unless it's one of those times when it's really late, and everybody is overtired and so retardedly giddy that everything seems funny.]}

Well, I have a forceful tone.

[those moments always tend to come at inappropriate times to laugh, too- like in a library.]

Heather, will you teach me to be as hardcore as you are?

_{[Boy does she know THAT one well. She likes libraries, but seriously, librarians? Party poopers.]

[Beaming magnanimously, Heather stroked her imaginary beard and looked wise.]}

Most certainly, young grasshopper.

All right! Thanks, Heather! I'm gonna be even more hardcore than Riku!

_{[And because Heather is a goofball, cue fake wise old man voice.]}

M'boy, you shall be more hardcore than anyone.

.... 'Cept me.

No, definitely not! I don't think I could ever yell a house into submission.

[holds his palms flat by his head and bows to the pokégear; I am not worthy, I am not worthy.]

Yeah, I'm pretty much the only being in the history of ever who's awesome enough to do that.

_{[The idol-bowing gets a hearty laugh out of her. SUCH RESPECT. THE HEATHER IS PLEASED.]}
