74. [Text/Action for Club H] Backdated to Monday

[foolishwren]

[Oh, man. Oh man, oh man, oh man.]

[It had taken an entire year.]

[For a couple months past 365 days, Heather's life had been blessedly free of something she'd always known was possible but had never seriously considered would happen. Lulled into a false sense of security by her general good luck regarding which people from her own world showed up

[Harry is walking in the room with a Togepi sitting on his shoulder. Lisa has been trying to cheer him up because he's been looking worried.]

Heather?

[foolishwren]

[ooc: PLURK IS DOWN ARG, but I was wondering if you'd wanna treat this thread like a mini-log with Heather and Henry and we can play out them discussing Vincent all together?]

'Sup Dad.

Have you, uh... checked the 'Gear network yet today?

Action

[no_ufo_ending]

[Henry pokes his head out of the bathroom with a toothbrush sticking out his mouth.]

Mhhr?

Action

[harryusedworry]

[Harry looks more serious then usual, puts Lisa on the bed as he sits down.]

I did.

text. wow that's a lotta people--

[miniworth]

Heather? What is it?

text. GOTTA GET THE WORD OUT

[foolishwren]

Heeeeey sup Miles.

[Ken and Miles, she had added at the last minute... because unlike the other people she had sent the text to, she'd never told them anything particularly telling or explicit about Silent Hill. But they were her little bros, man... and even if she'd much rather they not know about ... all that, it's better to tell them what to look out for.]

You got the time to talk about something important?

text.

[miniworth]

[ Though Heather can't see or hear, he'll be setting down his book and sitting straighter in his chair. ]

I do. Is something the matter?

text.

[foolishwren]

Strictly speaking, not yet. But I wanna make sure something doesn't become a problem.

Someone from my world arrived in Johto a little bit ago

And I'd like you and Ken to stay well away from him

[... A pause.]

Or if you can't do that, then never, EVER let your guard down.

Okay?

[text]

[bakaitoukid]

Yeah? What's up?

[text]

[foolishwren]

Sorry for the urgency, but I definitely wouldn't be dragging you into it if it wasn't important

so

um

[... Man, how did you open up to something like this...]

Someone else from where I come from just arrived in Johto.

[bakaitoukid]

[heeeeee has a feeling he knows what she's about to say]

Who?

[text]

[foolishwren]

[Kaito's a smart fella. It won't surprise her to find out that he's talked with him already...]

His name is Vincent.

He leads one of the biggest sects of the cult back home.

And he's a giant filthy slimeball.

[audio]

[blacklodged]

[Because text is the most impersonal and since she says it's "important", well, he'd just rather do it his typical way.]

There's no shortage of free moments in Johto, Heather. What do you want to talk about?

[audio]

[foolishwren]

[... Okay, Coop, she'll humor you. You made her laugh with her upside-down shenanigans, after all.]

[For once... she cuts right to the chase.]

Someone from Silent Hill arrived in Johto yesterday.

[audio]

[blacklodged]

[Cutting to the chase is precisely the way you go about things with Coop, and he appreciates the straightforward answer.]

I'm going to assume it's someone you'd rather not have here.

[audio]

[foolishwren]

[There's a sort of muffled snort on the other end as Heather stifles a mirthless laugh.]

OH yeah.

It's-- ... he's a member of the Order. ... The cult.

... I forget if I told you about them, but-- ... he's bad news.

[restardom]

what's up?

[text]

[foolishwren]

[She's already typing some pleasantry like 'not much', but then she remembers... it's Rise she's talking to, and it's important.]

Nothing good, unfortunately.

Someone else from home just arrived in Johto yesterday.

Someone from Silent Hill.

[restardom]
