[It's about eight in the morning, the day after Halloween night. Juuuuust the right time for the bright early-morning sun to be shining in through everybody's windows. The Ecruteak Inn in particular is RIGHT in the perfect place for that light to be blaring in, which is why the first thing that shows on the screen (accompanied by the scrapes and

Did you pick up a necklace with a metal pendant anywhere? ...Or a bracelet with a Pokéball design, or a couple of small glass bottles?

[Video]

[hasavision]

Sorry... If it helps, I definitely know what this one looks like. It's got a leather strap and the pendant is just a plain metal circle.

[foolishwren]

Okay... that makes it a little easier...

[It still takes awhile, though.]

[But EVENTUALLY, she straightens up with both the jar and the necklace, groaning. UGH HER BACK HURTS NOW.]

[OH GOOD THE NECKLACE IS THERE. Wataru breathes a huge sigh of relief.]

Thanks a lot! Should I come over to get the stuff, or...?

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Sure. We're on the second floor.

[At least he's a good sport about having... had his stuff stolen.]

[Video > Action]

[hasavision]

Okay, I'll be there in a sec!

[And after a minute or so, there is indeed a knock at the door.]

[Aaaand Heather will open it, grinning a little tiredly down at him. She looks EXHAUSTED... covered in nicks and bruises, too.]

Sup, kiddo.

[Action]

[hasavision]

Hey-

[--Oh wow.]

...Are you okay, Heather? You don't look so good.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Me? Pffft, I'm fine!

Just tired from a wild night, y'know?

[CLIMBIN IN YO WINDOWS, SNATCHIN YO SHINIES UP... and getting into violent catfights with other possessed individuals. That too.]

C'mon in.

[There's still a ... VERY IMPRESSIVE PILE on the floor. But she's set his items aside.]

[Action]

[hasavision]

...If you say so.

[Though he's still kinda worried as he steps in.]

[Action]

[foolishwren]

I declare so.

[She offers him a reassuring smile and then gestures to the bottles and jewelry.]

There y'go.

Sorry about the, uh. ... Inconvenience.

[Action]

[hasavision]

Thanks again!

[He takes them with some relief. The bottles and bracelet go straight to his backpack, and the necklace he loops around his neck immediately.]

Besides, some of these I... got. By accident. On Halloween.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

....

Accident, huh?

[DID YOU BECOME A ONE-NIGHT KLEPTO TOO, WATARU?]

[Action]

[hasavision]

[....noooood. Kind of like how heroes accidentally find key items in peoples' houses. Yes.]

[Action]

[foolishwren]

[... Pfhfhthchhcphthopt.]

[She reaches right over and RUFFLES HIS HAIR.]

[Welcome to the Accidental Thief Club, kid.]

[Action]

[hasavision]

[An accidental thief who got accidentally stolen from. WHAT HAS HIS LIFE BECOME.]

W-well, I should probably return these...
