<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.

_{[Thankfully, Heather's not exactly the kind of detective Kaito has run-ins with. Especially considering she's probably done more things against the law than she has for it.]}

Oh, believe me, it is.

I honestly probably wouldn't be doing it if I didn't think he needed the help. _{[And the company. It wasn't like Douglas had any friends besides her.]}

[She didn't seem like the detective type, either. Nor does he think she'd go all JUSTICEY on him if he ever came clean about exactly what he did]</smalL. Sounds like a way to pass the time.

_{[Considering everything they'd been through, Douglas and Heather both had a pretty unconventional view of justice anyway. Someone like Kaitou Kid? NOT someone they'd be bothered by. ... Confused, maybe, in Douglas' case, but it's all cool, brah. When you've taken on underground cults, hideous beasts, and apocalyptic plots, diamond-thievin' wasn't quite as big an epic no-no as it might be to others.]}

Yeah, more or less. Sometimes there's the occasional interesting case, like some housewife wanting us to find out if her husband is cheating on her or something, but even those aren't nearly as wacky and shenanigan-filled as the movies make them out to be.

I know a few detectives at home. They're all pretty annoying.

[video] *pats*

[foolishwren]

Yeah... so is Douglas.

_{[Annoying and STALKERY. Even if he was her best friend, she'd never let him live down the whole 'I dress like a flasher and also the first time I met you I came off as a total creeper' thing.]}

[bakaitoukid]

[he laughs]

Must be a detective thing. Does he dress like Sherlock Holmes, with the deerstalker cap?

[video]

[foolishwren]

Nah, he has a fedora.

And a trench-coat.

And he smells like fish.

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Smells like-- seriously?

[video]

[foolishwren]

Seriously.

He's.... old.

Old people just... smell weird sometimes.

_{[SHE'D KIND OF GOTTEN USED TO IT BY THIS POINT BUT STILL. DOUGLAS, LRN 2 HYGIENE.]}

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

Sounds like he needs a bath. Or ten.

[video]

[foolishwren]

I don't-- like, question it, but... dude what IS it about old people and showering?

Do you just like... hit a certain age and decide 'Hey, being clean is pretty lame, I think I'm going to try SMELLING NASTY ALL THE TIME'?!

_{[HEATHER'S GENERALLY HYGIENIC TEENAGE GIRL MIND COULD NOT COMPREHEND THIS ANOMALY.]}

Don't look at me, I'm not an old geezer yet! I wouldn't know!
