024. Video (illustrated)

[This is it. It's the big day. THE big day. The day Heather said she was going to kick Falkner's feathery butt. A little while earlier, Heather had posted a particularly cocky video in which she stated these intentions with deep conviction and a big ol' smirk on her face.]

[So, how's she faring?]

Comments

[video] Jesus, that's an amazing picture. a;sldkfjlas <333

[profpuzzle]

Miss Mason?! Are you alright?!

[The Professor isn't normally used to yelling, but he's extremely concerned. That fire? Holy crap, that was huge.]

[video] fff awww thanks it was kind of spur of the moment. XD;;

[foolishwren]

[It's probably a good few hours before the Professor actually gets a reply. When he does, it's from somewhere other than the Gym, and Heather looks pretty frazzled. And also embarrassed.]

Hey, Professor... yeah, I'm fine.

Just uh.

Yeah.

[SO SPECIFIC.]

[video] One hell of a spur. I want to a;sldkfjsla; all over it if it wasn't bloody 4 AM over here

[profpuzzle]

[And in those good few hours, the Professor was doing nothing worrying his top hat off. But he gets to reply ASAP when he finally hears word. Cue concerned face.]

You had me quite worried there...Are you unharmed?

[video] T-THIS JUST HAPPENS SOMETIMES, I DON'T EVEN CONTROL IT. But srsly thanks <333

[foolishwren]

[Heather was... kind of bad about that. Letting other people worry without any kind of reassurance. It came with having gotten used to being a total loner. ... That, and also just wanting to hide her face for a little while.]

Sorry... Yeah, uh, I'm fine.

[... Speaking of her face, it actually looked a little singed.]

*Enjoy your VERY LOUD CLAPPING and HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER.*

--heeeeeeheheheeh! Good going there, kiddo! Nothing like a giant explosion of fire to be punctuation at the end of a show!

[foolishwren]

[It's a few hours before he gets a reply. When he does, Heather sounds a little shaky, but she hasn't lost her attitude.]

Took years of professional training and fire safety lessons to pull that off. Don't try it at home.

And eat your vegetables.

[voice]

[fatalfun]

Oh, of course not! That's the kind of fire trick you try in someone else's home.

Re: [voice]

[foolishwren]

.... [You know, she really can't argue with that. He's the Joker, where ELSE would he want to start a fire?]

Good point.

Still, the vegetable thing stands.

[video]

[shellderkillder]

... I presume you need more training.

Unless you did win the battle.

[video]

[foolishwren]

[Aaaand naturally that comment gets on her sour side. Poor loser? .... yeah, 'little bit.]

I lost my focus. That's all.

[Don't worry. She'll get over it. It was a pretty good wake-up call.]

[video]

[shellderkillder]

Ah, that is unfortunate. Being surprised is not necessarily bad, if you manage to gain an advantage as a result.

In any case, now you should be better prepared.

[video]

[foolishwren]

[Heather cools her engines a little bit. It would not do to be randomly pissy at old men over the 'Gear network.]

I will be.

[video]

[leafking]

... I hope with an attack like that you won.

[voice]

[foolishwren]

[It's a good few hours before anyone gets a reply to the video.]

Lost my focus. I'll win next time.

[video]

[leafking]

Pity. I am sure you will win next time, however.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Be sure and stay sure. I'll be back.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

Did FIRE just come out of that dog's FACE?

[This is Jack's very technical trainer talk.]

[video]

[foolishwren]

[It's a good few hours before anyone gets a reply to the video. When they do, it's dark out and Heather's looking a little... singed.]

... Yeah. ... Apparently, yeah.

[So all those people telling Heather that her Pokemon was a Fire Type WEREN'T just crazy and actually telling the truth? MADNESS!]
