[It always seems like autumn in the woodland town of Ecruteak. But when it's actually autumn, the colors are mind-blowing.[Heather might not be one of those 'let's walk quietly in nature and be alone with our thoughts' types, but she can appreciate the beauty of the world when she sees it! Which is why, accompanied by a small chorus of footsteps as ( Read more... )

A... headband?

[voice] foolishwren September 10 2011, 22:39:12 UTC

[B( OH IT'S YOU.]

[But considering her somber mood, Heather's willing to put aside her snippiness for the moment.]

Yeah.

It belonged to a friend.

[voice] shellderkillder September 10 2011, 22:52:20 UTC

... It looks somewhat familiar.

[voice] foolishwren September 10 2011, 23:04:31 UTC

It belonged to Snake.

[No reason to hide that... and maybe Shelly knew him.]

[Ritz looks more than a little sad- she and her best bro just lost a friend too.] One of your friends left, didn't they.

[video] foolishwren September 10 2011, 22:41:58 UTC

[Yeah... just when you think everything's steady and secure, Johto makes someone you care about disappear. That's how it works here, Heather's noticed.]

[She doesn't look like she's falling apart or anything, but there is a sober note in her voice.]

Yeah.

A good friend.

'Least he left some stuff for me to remember him by.

[Video] usedfeint September 11 2011, 00:44:12 UTC

...At least there's that. Zidane... we can't find any of his team anywhere. [And really, if they were going to Kuja or Ritz, she sort of gets the impression it would have been fast.]

[Video] foolishwren September 11 2011, 04:20:02 UTC

Yeah? ... I'm sorry.

[She can sympathize. ... Really, anyone who's spent any significant amount of time in Johto has already lost at least one person.]

[VIdeo] foolishwren September 10 2011, 22:44:15 UTC

Yeah.

[She always is, in the end... but she'd be lying if she said this hadn't cast a bit of a dark cloud over the otherwise-glorious day.]

That was just kinda... sudden.

[She hadn't even known he'd disappeared...]

[Video] foolishwren September 10 2011, 23:05:43 UTC

Yeah.

Y'don't see the crash till it's head-on, and all that.

[She heaves a slight sigh.]

But at least I've got stuff to remember him by.

And he might come back.

Important?

[Video] foolishwren September 10 2011, 22:46:22 UTC

[Ring ring, who's that? ... Oh. Ew.]

[Heather frowns at the screen... but the fact that she cares about someone isn't anything worth hiding from Vincent. She's not going to pretend to be apathetic just to avoid getting teased.]

Yeah. Why?

Re: hallowbethylies September 15 2011, 23:46:24 UTC

No reason. Can't I be inquisitive? [He's just nosy- plus he has fun bugging you. There's nothing else to do.]

foolishwren September 18 2011, 06:26:15 UTC

It's never just inquisitive with you. You're always looking for an edge. [But this observation sounds more RESIGNED than it does bitter. She's too distracted right now to be QUITE as pissy at Vincent as she normally is.]

[action] vulpesvivus September 10 2011, 21:46:16 UTC

[...Typical, Otacon thought with a quiet sigh, watching Heather with Snake's Pokemon. You're still keeping me waiting, even here? Geez...I don't know how I put up with you.]

[Seeing what amounted to the future had frightened him a little, back then. Otacon hadn't wanted to know what was coming in the next five years, and yet he'd known all along that sometime he would have to go back and live through it. Which was exactly what he'd done. Now it was Snake's turn to go back and see how it was all going to end.]

...it's been a long time since I saw those two.

[action] foolishwren September 10 2011, 22:54:20 UTC

[Heather hadn't known Snake as well as she did Otacon and Liquid... but he'd still been a part of her ragtag little family. Or at least, she'd considered him a part of it. He'd looked out for her, taught her things, made sure to ask after her... all in his own gruff, grumbly old man way, of course, but still.]

[She's sad. Nothing can really change that. ... But she has to admit, having her face buried in downy white fluff is a bit of a mood-lifter.]

S'good t'see you too, Sunny-- ... huh?

[That voice! She knows that voice! A HAL HAS BEEN DETECTED.]

[Pulling her face out of the Giant Owl Snuggle, she twists around to look over her shoulder... and breaks into a grin.]

Hal!

[Are you ready for a great big Heather hug, Otacon? BECAUSE SHE IS PUTTING SUNNY DOWN AND YOU'RE NEXT.]

[action] vulpesvivus September 10 2011, 23:00:30 UTC

[Well, that might have almost knocked down a thirty-year-old nerd. But he's older, wiser, and...not all that much stronger. But thankfully he only stumbled half a step or so before catching himself and hugging Heather as tightly as he could.]

Hey. It's good to see you again.

[action] foolishwren September 10 2011, 23:10:00 UTC

[Awww, the days of being able to tackle Otacon like a straw-man are over? Oh well, that's probably for the best.]

[Older or not, Hal Emmerich is still the big nerdy brother that Heather never had, and as soon as she's close enough, she throws her arms around him in that traditional Heather rib-cracking hug. And since talking = less important than hugging, she doesn't bother un-burying her face from his chest when she replies muffledly.]

Didja miss me?

[And-- oho, what's this? Sunny wants in on the hugging action, so have a GIANT WHITE OWL waddling over and just sort of... snuggling.]
