[So aside from a few fleeting times she's run into somebody in town or popped up on the 'Gear's network to sass someone, Heather's been a little scarce lately-- ever since the aftermath of her drinking escapades with a certain clone and dweebish scientist. Where's she been? Not far, just... not really around anybody. Why? Well, she sure hasn't been ( Read more... )

[ Rise WAS about head over there with chipper greetings, but the look on Heather's face has her reconsidering that. Of course, it also has her concerned, so she's being uncharacteristically tentative and stepping towards her. ]

... Heather?

[ action ] foolishwren July 27 2010, 21:21:35 UTC

[At the sound of her name, Heather's knee jerked and her foot splashed the water noisily, sending the curious fish Pokemon scattering. She looked over her shoulder tensely, expecting-- ... something that was not Rise.]

[Her expression brightened immediately-- but was that for real?]

Rise! Hey!

[ action ] restardom July 27 2010, 21:25:37 UTC

[ False cheer can't fool an idol-- they specialize in that. But Rise just smiles in response and plunks herself right down next to Heather, leaving enough enough not to crowd her personal space and to humor the sleepy Dratini wrapped around her shoulders. ]

Hey. You looked pretty lost in thought for a moment there.

[ action ] foolishwren July 27 2010, 21:29:06 UTC

[Rise has Heather's number, then. The girl's a class-A faker but she's no professional.]

Heh, yeah, I guess I was.

[She scooted her bag and boots aside to make a little more room.]

Whatcha doin' way out here?

[That would be a better question to ask of YOU, Heather.]

[Speaking of dweebish scientists hair dye, gray was starting to show in Otacon's dyed brown hair. Not that he realized it yet.]

Heather? [Back to wearing the white kimono and red hakama, Otacon walked over and sat down next to her.]

What's wrong? Did Liquid say something?

foolishwren July 27 2010, 21:43:01 UTC

[Oh boy. Here comes an Otacon. What does she say?]

[She looked up and offered a smile, not terribly surprised to see him, though she wouldn't have blamed him for keeping away for a bit on account of how she and Liquid had basically gotten him sucked into their drunken shenanigans.]

Wh-- hell, no. Liquid's his aggravating self but we're cool. Why?

[Why yes she is ignoring the fact that her brooding is kind of blatantly obvious to anyone who gets close enough to figure out she's not out here fishing or something.]

philanthrotaku July 27 2010, 21:45:07 UTC

You look kind of upset. What's on your mind?

foolishwren July 27 2010, 21:52:47 UTC

[... Well. Heather's no stranger to pretending everything is okay and denying, denying, denying, but in truth, lying is tiresome. She'd rather save it for people she flat-out doesn't want around.]

... Heh. Well, it's nothing I can't handle. [She drew one leg back up onto the dock and leaned her chin on her knee, smiling wanly.] Some personal stuff just came up. Not gonna lie, I'm kinda messed-up right now, but it'll be okay.

I always get through it.

Hello Miss. Heather. How are you? [Oblivious to her solemn attitude.]

[Video] foolishwren July 27 2010, 23:21:28 UTC

[As the 'Gear's screen popped into life beside her, Heather looked over her shoulder, startled. Had it been filming? ... No. No, good. But she picked it up, looking down at the screen quizzically. Oh, it was that... um. Kid.]

Uh, hey. Bridget, right? I'm good. You?

Re: [Video] walking_the_cat July 27 2010, 23:23:47 UTC

I'm well. I've been training on Route 31 a lot.

That's cool. Must be pretty strong by now, huh?

[Sickly looking kid in Super Nerd!outfit approaching]

Hey.

b3hind_infinity July 27 2010, 23:41:55 UTC

[ooc: And that was action. Yes. >_> *fails*]

foolishwren July 27 2010, 23:47:23 UTC

[ooc: XD Happens to the best of us!]

[At the sound of footsteps on the wooden boards, Heather looked up warily. Their source was unfamiliar-- a kid she hadn't talked with before that she could remember. She sits up straighter, eyes narrowing slightly as she returns the greeting, albeit a tad cautiously.]

Hey.

[ooc: Yeah. XD;; And have his commenting journal~ ♥]

[Jun thinks for a minute, then decides that it's a girl. Short hair and fairly flat chest, but still. Has to be a girl. He sits down next to her, adjusting his glasses]

You seem happy. Not. S'up?

[Liquid's got a couple of bruises from where he took out those lawnchairs. With his face.]

[He sat down next to Heather, and, for once, was silent for a few moments. Though Liquid often appeared to be deficient in social skills, he'd had that blank look enough to know that it meant Problems.]

...your roots are showing.

[And that was probably the most brilliant conversation starter ever, right?]

foolishwren July 28 2010, 01:29:26 UTC

[She didn't look up at first, though she nodded as Liquid sat down next to her. ... And his first words were a surprise.]

... Really? [She reached up and gave her hair a tug.] Guess I haven't looked at my reflection much lately.

boldandresolute July 28 2010, 01:59:22 UTC

I can tell.

[He picked a lock of her hair and looked at it.]

You've damaged it pretty well from all the dyeing.

foolishwren July 28 2010, 02:07:52 UTC

[Wryly.] Thanks. [It was sort of the truth, though. She'd been bleaching her hair for years.]

Being stuck in this place hasn't exactly helped. Split-end central.
