044. [Video/Action for Goldenrod]

[foolishwren]

[Like so many transmissions today, this one opens up with the camera aimed straight up at the velvety-gray sky, with dry little flakes of snow drifting down. It also cuts in about halfway through a sentence--]

--ime to get some winter gear... Hey, network. Please enjoy five minutes of my dog being a spaz.

[It swivels down to focus on the plaza--

[And guess who is NOT SETTING ONE FOOT OUTSIDE EVER. Damn cold. Damn snow. Phoenix is just going to sit here curled up on his bed, thank you very much. Thus, someone obviously needs to drag him outside.]

Looks like someone's enjoying themselves. [Phoenix's own Furret gives the camera a sympathetic look. Poor, poor Arty.]

[video] ALSO YOU AND I NEED TO FINISH THAT THREAD WHERE THEY ACTUALLY MEET UP.

[foolishwren]

She is quivering with enthusiasm. Or rage. It's hard to tell with her.

[The camera turns around to show Heather's face-- she's still in her work outfit, which is admittedly a little bit warmer than her usual one. She's gonna need to start investing in winter clothing soon.]

[She raises a brow at him.]

SO. Have YOU been in the snow yet?

[video] ....AHAHAH OH RIGHT DFLH--I-I'll get to tagging that ASAP

[cheapblusuits]

You might want to stay away from her for a while... [He knows Furrets. They can be pretty vicious when they set their minds to it.

Anyway--at Heather's question, he just. Raises an eyebrow.] No. I guess I'll have to go out sometime, but... [He huddles into his blankets. The two sweaters he boguht way back in Cherrygrove haven't been holding up too well with all the action they've been getting.]

[video] YES. >8I DO THAT. /looms

[foolishwren]

Oh, don't worry. I'm not gonna touch her if I can help it. [She's suffered her fair share of scratches from that terror crammed into a tubular weasel body.]

[When he huddles up in his blankets, Heather SNORTS.]

Do you have ANY inner child at all?

[action]

[miniworth]

[Hey Heather look who's also on his way back from work, Pess jollily frolicking down the street, and a tiny bundle of blanket held carefully, as not to let whatever's inside it get cold. His (rather solemn) face lightens up when he sees Heather, and he trots up to her.]

Miss Heather...! [He would wave, but, yeah bundle in his arms.]

[action]

[foolishwren]

Hey, Edgeworth.

Whatcha got there?

[Pess .... will have to move quickly or she will be almost instantly BOWLED OVER by Cujo, who is just kind of zooming around like a juggernaut.]

[action]

[miniworth]

[You probably won't see this happy smile on his face after a few days, Heather, but let him show you the EXTREMELY TINY Growlithe that's snoozing in his nest of blankets.]

This is Pip, Miss Heather. I took him with me so Nurse Joy can make sure he's healthy.

[Aaand Pess, with a look that says something like, "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD WHAT IS THAT" jumps out of the way as Cujo rockets past.]

[action]

[foolishwren]

[Heather can't see from across the street, so she hurries over, puffing, and leans in to take a look.]

.... Oh .... [You know, Heather doesn't even like dogs, but... that is one cute little mofo.]

He's ADORABLE!

[Cujo just sort of... juggernauts past her and then comes back around again, only to skid to a halt and go into a play-bow, tongue lolling out. :D Play? :D Play? :D PLAY?]

[imthe_shit]

[ Snake's outside the hotel, leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette. He can see the spastic growlithe zipping off in random directions and he grunts in amusement. He's sporting the jacket he bought back in Azalea, it's pretty good for the cold right now... but his joints ache so much. Still, watching Pokemon be morons is a nice distraction. Taking out a Pokeball from his belt, he tosses it before him, Sunny being released. She chirps excitedly before hopping in the snow, not understanding what it was but loving it all the same. ]

[foolishwren]

[Heather's coming down the street a short distance behind Cujo-- she's too tired to run after him, even though she is cold. When she spots Snake, she grins and waves at him.]

Yo!

[At the sound of the Pokeball opening, Cujo skids to a halt and looks over his shoulder. .... :D SUNNNYYYYYYY~]

[He comes galloping back over to say hi to his ol' playmate.]

[imthe_shit]

[ Stares at the dog coming at him. Oh god oh god-- Oh it's going for Sunny. The Togetic trills excitedly and flutters over to her friend. Then comes a realization from Snake. ]

Huh. They know each other.

[foolishwren]

[Don't feel TOO complacent, Snake. YOUR TIME WILL COME. Cujo is EVERYBODY'S best friend.]

[For the moment, though, he just skids up to Sunny, snorfling all over her and jumping around like a kindergartener hyped up on birthday cake.]

Huh... looks like they do!

[Heather reaches them, her breath visible in puffs. She's got the Totodile under one arm and somewhere behind her, Arty is dragging herself through the snow, looking like the entire world was her enemy.]

[action]

[newhero]

[there is a tropical island kid standing nearby, all bundled up because what is retaining body heat, staring up at the sky and going WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS? at the snow. Puddles is galloping around like a reindeer on reindeer nip and will pause momentarily to snuffle at Heather's hair once he's close enough.]

[action]

[foolishwren]

[OH LOOK THERE'S SORA! He must be feeling better-- or. Well. Have healed some, anyway. ... Heather's just glad that TANK NURSE isn't with him. Her visits over the past week or so had probably been sneaky because she didn't want to run into HIM.]

Hey, kiddo! What's the matter, never seen snow before? [She fends Puddle off with a laugh-- meanwhile, Cujo greets the frolicking giraffe with a frenzy of excited barking and turning in circles.]

[action]

[newhero]

[you do realize that Nurse Tank is going to haunt you forever now, Heather. just the byproduct of inciting Murphy's Law: whenever Cujo needs a break from being... Cujo... Nurse Tank will be there. watching. forever.]

[Sora, meanwhile, is just wide-eyed and rosy-cheeked and his hair is turning into a pretty radical snow sculpture.]

Hey, Heather! Actually... it never snows back home, so no I haven't-- I just know that there's a bunch of it at the North Pole.

[HELLO CUJO Puddles is bending way down to snuffle at him curiously, too. it's his way of saying what up.]

[action]

[foolishwren]

[And when Heather INEVITABLY winds up hurting herself somehow in one of the many scrapes she gets into? Nurse Tank will be there, ready to hand her Pikachu-print band-aids.]

Really? ... Ohh, that's right, you're from an island. [She's not sure if THIS Sora ever told her that, but she remembers his older counterpart talking about it.]

[Grinning, she sidles up and flicks some of the snow off of his head.]

Don't stand there TOO long or you'll turn into a snowman.

[Cujo beams a BIG DOGGY GRIN and goes into a play-bow. 8D DOES THE BIG DOG WANT TO PLAY OMG?!]

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[Kaito is all bundled up too! And grinning like a madman]

Y'know what makes snow storms even more fun?

[video]

[foolishwren]

[She grins right back at him-- the wtf of that surreal three-days-gone thing seems to have passed and she's bounced back to her normal self.]

What's that?

[video]

[bakaitoukid]

[he's the same way, grinning like mad as he tosses a snowball up and down in his hand]

Snowball fights!

[video]

[foolishwren]

Ohh sonnnnn.

When are you guys gonna get your butts back to Goldenrod?

I need to OWN you with my mad snowball skills.

[ALL AT ONCE. SHE WAS -JUST THAT GOOD-.]
