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

Aug 09, 2011 21:23

[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 ( Read more... )

[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 August 10 2011, 01:54:21 UTC

[... 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 August 10 2011, 01:59:12 UTC

[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 August 10 2011, 02:03:27 UTC

[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.

[audio] blacklodged August 10 2011, 02:09:14 UTC

You mentioned them.

[He considers this for a second, then throws a guess out there.]

Glasses, brown hair, stubble ... slippery?

[Slippery is best adjective he can find to describe this first impression.]

[audio] foolishwren August 10 2011, 02:10:33 UTC

[... That's a VERY good adjective. She's surprised she hasn't used it already herself... slippery. What a perfect word for that weasel.]

Ugh, so you've seen him...

[audio] blacklodged August 10 2011, 02:17:02 UTC

I talked to him.

[He doesn't like him - and it's probably pretty obvious.]

[audio] foolishwren August 10 2011, 02:27:39 UTC

[She can tell-- and that's something of a relief. Not that she'd ever expect a guy like Cooper to get along with a guy like Vincent...]

... Did he say anything... you know...

[About Silent Hill?]

[audio] blacklodged August 10 2011, 02:35:26 UTC

[He shakes his head, though she obviously can't see it.]

He hardly said anything.

... will you tell me more about him?

[audio] foolishwren August 10 2011, 02:49:29 UTC

... Huh. That's unusual for him...

[She sighs, though. Might as well spill some fetails.]

[This is probably the first time she's been this open with him... but it's mostly out of necessity. She'll just... have to wait and see if her trust in him is warranted. It's a risk she just has to take.]

His name is Vincent.

He leads a sect-- ... the main sect, I'm pretty sure... of the cult.

... Or led.

[She pauses for a second or two before adding--]

He was dead for a whole year before I came to Johto.

[audio] blacklodged August 10 2011, 02:57:39 UTC

[He listens with interest - and has a feeling like maybe he should keep notes of what she's telling him. To later piece together the bigger puzzle.]

It's not that unusual for people to be brought back to life here.

[He says this almost like commentary - but it's a silent request for her to elaborate.]

[audio] foolishwren August 10 2011, 03:00:05 UTC

No, it's not.

My dad's here, after all.

... Anyway, he's...

He's a slimeball.

Not trustworthy.

He only looks out for his own skin and he doesn't care who he lies to in the process. ... I know you're like, a super badge-toting cop guy and shit, but... just... don't let your guard down.

[audio] blacklodged August 10 2011, 03:12:35 UTC

["A super badge-toting cop guy" is probably the most interesting description of his job yet, and he can't help but smile slightly at hearing it, despite the quite serious topic.]

He's got "slimeball" written on his forehead -- but thanks for the extra warning.

[He does mean that.]

[audio] foolishwren August 10 2011, 03:26:41 UTC

No problem.

I just figured... you know about Silent Hill, so... y'oughta know about him, too.

[audio] blacklodged August 10 2011, 06:46:32 UTC

I appreciate that.

So how are you faring? I guess you never expected him to show up.

[audio] foolishwren August 10 2011, 07:12:48 UTC

... No, I really... didn't.

I guess I should've. I mean, I knew it was possible...

... But out of all the people I've met here from home, none of them were part of the cult...

[James, Mary, Angela, Henry... and of course her own father. Two had been victims of the cult just like her, two had been bystanders somehow caught up in the Otherworld despite their ignorance of its origins, and one, seemingly unaware of any of that at all.]

[No cultists... for an entire year.]
