[... TRY AND MAKE SOME MONEY OFF OF THEM, OF COURSE!]

You're selling them now?

...did you ever figure out where they came from?

[There's the crunch of boot on sandy road as Heather walks. They're still making the rounds, yo.]

Well, we gotta find homes for 'em somehow... and I guess a bit of a charge will help, like, make sure nobody will just take them to feed to their Charizard or something... [She's not even sure if that HAPPENS. But still.]

And--

... Well, Henry has a boy owl, and I have a girl owl...

I guess they... reeeaaally liked each other.

[The 'girl owl' in question can be seen proudly seated in the wagon, surrounded by her spherical babies.]

So they didn't just... appear out of nowhere? He said they did. That he was scared of them.

...

[Awkwardly:] C-can I buy one?

Video foolishwren August 16 2011, 04:29:19 UTC

Well, he kinda is... [To be fair, it had probably been a pretty big shock to open that bag and be confronted with a SMALL ARMY of big glowy eyes.] But he's also totally out of it all the time so he probably thinks my bag is a magical portal to the Owl Dimension or something...

[But then Heather beams.]

'Course you can!

Aren't they just the cutest?

Video quebrado_angela August 16 2011, 11:05:45 UTC

...out of it? Do you mean he's on drugs? [That would explain so much.

She smiles a little and nods.]

They're adorable.

Video foolishwren August 16 2011, 15:52:20 UTC

[It really would, wouldn't it.]

[She lowers her voice a little conspiratorially.]

Well, I've never seen him find anything around here, but... [DUDE WAS STONED. ALL THE TIME. ... Or he acted like it, anyway. Maybe it was just severe social awkwardness.]

Anyway! We'd love to letcha have one! Be nice if they could go to people we know personally, anyway.

Video quebrado_angela August 16 2011, 23:49:41 UTC

[Lowering her voice too, she whispered.]

He seems pretty bad, if he is. But where would he get that here?

[Back to an ordinary volume!]

It makes it easier to make sure that nothing bad's going on, anyway.

Video foolishwren August 17 2011, 20:11:24 UTC

No idea... maybe he doesn't. He's also just... y'know, really awkward. [Even more awkward than ANGELA. Which was quite a feat.] 'Sides, pretty sure that stuff wouldn't get past Dad.

[Harry Mason thinks drugs are in BAD TASTE. >8(]

Anyway! I bet you'll take good care of it. They're... not that high-maintenance, really.

Video quebrado_angela August 18 2011, 09:21:07 UTC

Your dad's with you too... that's right, I talked to him.

[WHY ARE YOU TRAVELLING WITH TWO MEN, HEATHER? YOU BETTER BE CARRYING A KNIFE OR SOMETHING.]

Video foolishwren August 18 2011, 10:48:01 UTC

[FORTUNATELY HEATHER'S FATHER IS A REAL FATHER. NOT... WHATEVER THE HELL YOU CAN CALL WHAT ANGELA'S WAS.]

[And Henry is... Henry. Kind of a non-issue there.]

You did?

Yeah, Dad got here a few months ago!

[Even now, Heather still sounds excited about the fact that that happened.]

Video quebrado_angela August 18 2011, 10:51:45 UTC

[She peers suspiciously at Heather's image on the screen for a moment before nodding.]

He talked to me when I came back. You must have missed him.

Video foolishwren August 18 2011, 11:07:01 UTC

[If Heather notices that suspicion, she doesn't seem to acknowledge it...]

I must've been out when he was talkin' to you. I'm glad he did, though.

I was actually thinkin' ... y'know, if you wanted to stick with us when we eventually wind up in the same place... none of us would mind having another person on the road.

[... Except maybe Henry but that's because he's scared of everybody.]

Video quebrado_angela August 19 2011, 23:49:00 UTC

I- I'd probably just slow you down... And besides... I... I don't really feel very comfortable with men around.

[It takes a lot of effort to say that.]

Mind if- if I, uh, wait a while before deciding?

Video foolishwren August 20 2011, 02:01:58 UTC

[... Oh. Oh. A flicker of understanding flashes across her face briefly-- sort of an 'oh' moment.]

Oh... I-- ... that's okay. I understand.

Take as much time as you need, okay?

[She pauses, not sure if she should... say something to assure Angela of her father's and Henry's good intentions, but figures maybe she should refrain. Wouldn't want to push her.]

The offer's always open, but we'll... you know. Understand.

Video quebrado_angela August 22 2011, 07:44:39 UTC

Thanks. I'm sorry. [That brief look on Heather's face bothers her and she glances away.]

So are you selling a lot of these owls?

Video foolishwren August 22 2011, 19:04:33 UTC

[SUBJECT CHANGE. Heather can do that.]

Yeah, there's like... twenty babies. A lot of people are buying them, but... there's a whole lot left, and all of'm need to find homes...
