Otacon should have seen it coming. He should have known it was possible. He was a computer hacker, for god's sake, and he had experimented to Glitch City and back with his Blue cartridge ( Read more... )

[Have a late-ass response. But Otacon wasn't the only one running. Turns out a job isn't exactly the most fun thing to stick around in when everyone around you suddenly turns into a set of flat pixels.]

[This wasn't like the fog. Heather hadn't been transported into her own personal nightmare. She still knew she was HERE. But that didn't mean she liked it. Edging out of the now lopsided Goldenrod Department Store cautiously, Heather looked around the city. Not good. This was definitely not good. She had to get back to the hotel-- find her friends. ANY of them. Unless they'd turned into something out of a glitched Mario Bros game too...]

[And here was a nerd, running like hell through Goldenrod before ducking around the corner of the building and smacking right into Heather.]

--?!

[Turns out in glitch-land, sound doesn't work like it's supposed to. Normally Heather would have heard Otacon's footsteps, but shoes on coding doesn't make a whole lot of noise. Thus, it wasn't until she heard his BREATHING that she even started to turn around-- not in time to avoid being slammed into.]

UMPH!

[She was sent sprawling backwards, landing on the ground with the suggestion of a muffled thud, but nothing like the sound it would have made if she'd been on concrete when it happened.]

S-s-sorry!

[He had fallen as well, but quickly scrambled to his feet before looking around--good, no sign of a zombie Aerodactyl.]

Heather? A-are you okay?

[Action] foolishwren October 30 2010, 17:57:29 UTC

[She was already hauling herself upright, wincing.]

Yeah... m'fine... it's the REST of the world I'm worried about. Are YOU okay?

[He looked terrified! ... Not that she blamed him.]

[Action] philanthrotaku October 30 2010, 18:02:30 UTC

I-I'm okay, for now. [Just a little banged up.]

[Action] foolishwren October 30 2010, 18:07:59 UTC

[She looked him over briefly to make sure he was telling the truth, then nodded.]

Okay.... Otacon, what the fuck is happening?

[Action] philanthrotaku October 30 2010, 18:13:19 UTC

I'll give you the short version. This is all based on a videogame--and that thing out there is a glitch. Missingno., data that wasn't meant to be encountered in the game.

[He took a breath to try and calm down, sounding panicked for obvious reasons.]

Encountering it would screw up some of the game data, catching it would do even worse. In short, this isn't just a world like a videogame--it's the game itself. And this glitch? Basically, the end of the world.

[Heather... was silent for a moment.]

.... So it is a fucking game.

[She sounds... angry.]

[Action] philanthrotaku October 30 2010, 19:21:58 UTC

...

I don't know anymore, Heather. I just...I don't know.

[Action] foolishwren October 30 2010, 19:32:42 UTC

[Heather pauses, looking out at the distorted cityscape. There's an undefinable expression on her face. It's not her usual angry look when she's frustrated or pissed off. It's... a different kind of mad. Once that neither Otacon or anybody else in Johto has seen yet.]

.... Well.

[When she speaks, her voice is almost a mumble. Who is she even talking to?]

I stopped the end of the world once.

Maybe my luck'll hold out.

[And then she just started... walking.]

[Action] philanthrotaku October 30 2010, 19:33:35 UTC

Wh...H-Heather, wait! [He followed half a step behind, worried.]

What are you doing?!

[Action] foolishwren October 30 2010, 20:37:22 UTC

If it's the end of the world, might as well try and stop it.

[... GOD HEATHER YOU MAKE IT SOUND LIKE GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE OR SOMETHING. "Wellp if we're outta milk, might as well go see if there's some at Stop and Shop."]

[She didn't actually think of it like that at all, but her tone could... pretty easily be misconstrued like that.]
