[Heather had considered maybe going on the train trip just for kicks, and to spend time with some of the friends she knows were going ... but then laziness had won out.]
[When the news broadcast had come in the next morning, she was lying on her stomach on her bed, blearily scrolling through all the network posts with some toast in one hand. Do de do, random person complaining about calls from Joey... somebody having trouble with their Gyarados... Magnet Train disast-- oh SHIT MAGNET TRAIN DISASTER.]
Ho-lee ....
[She watches the news bulletin, suddenly wide awake.]
[.... BRB CALLING UP ALL THE FRIENDS SHE KNEW WERE ON THAT TRAIN.]
[ooc: I'm in total crunch-time as I come to the last couple weeks of my hiatus, so responses may be slow BUT if your character is a pal of Heather's and was on the train (I've been totally out of the loop so I'm not sure who participated in the plot and who didn't, sob) feel free to tag right here and assume she called yours up to see if they were okay!]
I think some people were. [Anger crosses his expression just then.]
The Rocket I was fighting...he was taking the luggage on board and throwing them at the passengers. [And now his jaw clenches.] He was aiming for all the children on board.
I had Nineve and Archimedes keeping the luggage from hitting anyone, but some might have gotten through. I had my attention...elsewhere. [Read: The Rocket trying to pummel him.]
They're cowards, using defenseless people as shields.
[She'd been busy just looking pissed off there for a moment or so, but when he continues, she looks up.]
... Yeah. I'd be into that. [She hasn't honest to goodness trained her Pokemon in awhile...] Probably be good for all of us.
...But I dunno when I'll be back in that direction. I'm sorta hunkered down in Ecruteak for the time being. But hey... I'll be back to visit at some point.

It'll be good, whenever we get a chance to battle. [Merlin bites his lip, looking hesitant. Then switches to filter.]
You know, I thought they'd been too quiet all this time. Some of us went down to the Mahogany HQ to take a look--it's empty, Heather. There were still some Rockets around, but most of the stuff's been cleared out already. The place was mostly guarded by high level pokemon, not trainers.
Whatever it is that they're doing, I don't think the attack on the train's going to be the last we see of them.

... It's empty?
[She'd been told... well, never mind... that had been awhile ago, after all. Still, that's worrying information, especially after the Radio Tower, so she pauses for a second and chews on her lip, brows furrowed.]
I guess they really AREN'T as harmless as we all pegged them for ages, huh?

Yeah, empty. The labs were still in use, but that's about it. Everything else was pretty much cleared out.
You remember the kidnappings and the prisoners being rescued? They probably didn't want anyone else to go sticking their nose into their business. I think whatever they've been working on, they're planning on using it in their new place. Wherever that is.

[Needless to say, Heather winces a little at the sight of Merlin's location.]

Was anyone hurt real bad?

I swear to god, if I ever run into somebody wearing one of those uniforms...

It looks like the police here managed to catch a few, with the help of the trainers on board. Most of them got away, though.
...say, Heather. If you're in Goldenrod again, we should train together again. Like we used to.
