[It's late in the evening when the feed has flipped on for the first time in a long time... but there's no one in sight, except Sanaa the Swablu. Lit by the glow of a campfire, she chirps happily at the screen before fluffing her wings and fluttering out of sight. There's some mild dragging sounds between the bird and what sounds like a Minun, as the two then proceed to set up the Gear.

Just what are they filming, silly Pokemon?

There's a couple of young kids sitting out in the sand, building onto a rather elaborate looking castle, and the feed just continues. Well into five minutes of just recording the kids working, something drops very suddenly right smack dab into their sand building, and gives a prompt and sharp sounding RAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!]

WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

[Both children run off, though only one was absolutely wailing while the other was teeheeing, the person standing in the middle of what used to be the sand castle starts chuckling. Turning where the light finally catches, it's Vanitas, and he is grinning from ear to ear, looking somewhat giddy even.]

Now that, Runt, is how you properly startle someone. [The Minun gives a sort of agreement noise, and Vanitas? Doesn't even seem to care that the PokeGear is on. Apparently he's been having a contest with his mischevious electric rodent on scaring residents, and guess who just pulled into the lead with this ridiculous number?

Yeah, he's moving to pick up the Gear and shut it off now though, cause he so doesn't want to be around when the kids come back with the nagging mother. It would involve dodging police and Vanitas is actually enjoying himself for a change.]

_{[ooc: YOU'RE WELCOME.]}

Mmmhm. Yep.

_{[Smirking lazily, Heather tosses her head a bit and buffs her nails on her shirt.]}

Gonna have to step up the effort a little there, m'man.

Alright, fine. I'll do more than scare some kids. [Let's see, scaring Heather might be entertaining.] You're in Goldenrod still, huh?

_{[... Oh boy. Scaring Heather would definitely be entertaining, but it'd also probably result in violence. ... Like, bad violence. Especially right now, when her nerves are shot like frayed threads.]}

Nope. I've been in Olivine for the last couple months. Now I'm on the road again.

Huh, I'm still there... guess we kept passing each other. [More like he's been hiding out indoors to avoid the sun because eff that brightness >((( bright lights have been hurting his eyes lately.]

Where are you heading?

Not surprising. I've been pretty busy, anyway.

_{[Y'know, beach-bummin', sellin' owls, angsting about her past and all the baggage that comes with it...]}

We're going to Ecruteak. I need my badge.

You shouldn't have a problem with Ecruteak, the leader uses Ghost types. The floor in the room, however, is full of holes under the smokescreen. [Helpful tip, despite how watching the kid in front of him fall a billion times was pretty hilarious.]

Yeah, I'm good with Ghost types.

_{[.... 'Lessa might need to get trained up a bit more, but she could always do that on the way.]}

... Figures the ghost dude would booby-trap the fuck out of his gym, though.

Ghosts are assholes.

I think I'll take the pitfalls over the lava filled room that the Blackthorn gym leader uses.

... Lava?

_{[... A groan.]}

Why am I not surprised...

Heh. You'll hate the Mahogany gym then. Pure ice paths all around, and if you don't do it in a correct order, you fall through. Can't go backwards or rewalk on the ice either, because it cracks to the point of breaking.

Ice? Fuck that.

_{[... But it's not as bad as lava... not to Heather, anyway.]}

Have fun getting that badge.

Think he allows ice skates in the gym?

What are ice skates?

Shoes with knives on the bottom.

People use 'em to glide around on ice.

_{[And in one fell swoop, Heather made ice skates sound way cooler than they actually are. Thank you, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. She'll be here all week.]}

[He genuinely looks intrigued by the mental image he's portraying now.]

... Maybe. It's better to spit out a fake apology than ask permission.

Yeah, I think I like that school of thought.

Either way, you'll already have taken the badge and be on your way out, so he doesn't need to complain so much.

Yeah, seriously.

I'll be like "FUCK DA POLICE, I'm outta here."

[Okay, he doesn't know what 'fuck da police' is supposed to mean, but it just sounds so ridiculous that he winds up laughing.]

_{[... Well, obviously he must be laughing because what she said was funny, so she smirks a little, accordingly.]}

I would. I'd do it.

I'll be honest here; I don't know what "fuck the police" means. The way you said it, makes it sound absolutely ridiculous. [Heather, you just heard Sora's voice using the F word. What have you done.]

_{[THE UNTHINKABLE.]}

... Well, uh.

... You seriously don't know that word?

No. Never heard it before. Why? Is it common where you're from? [lol Heather what have you done]

You could say that.

_{[CONSIDERING HE'S SUCH A TROUBLED KID, she's surprised he doesn't know the word...]}
