[Have a weary-looking Cybil with a Zubat curled up, sleeping, on her shoulder. She looks...slightly miffed but she's keeping her cool and taking a breather in a Pokemon Center.]

Of course the weather starts getting better as soon as I get here. Don't think I want to be caught in the middle of traveling in a storm like that ever again.

I should have payed attention to the weather more carefully before heading out...I'm usually more forward-thinking than this...

[She rubs the back of her neck and shakes her head.]

So, for curiosity's sake [and she motions to the Zubat snoozing on her shoulder] how common are these bats? I caught this one before I headed out, but took shelter in a local cave and, even though I wasn't able to see much, I did catch glimpses of them every five seconds. I wish I was exaggerating.

[Sloppily privated to Heather]

Well, I've made it to Violet City. How'd you fare through the storm?

[private video that's...being eavesdropped on.]

[She was about to respond when an...unfamiliar name catches her attention.

Heather?

...

Did he just call you Heather?

[HAVE ANOTHER SKEPTICAL LOOK. you had her convinced that you were Cheryl but...now she's...well yeah, skeptical. Sorry, this cop's a cynic.]
foolishwren: are waiting to GOOF OFF with you (SILLY GIRLS in YOUR AREA)

[private video -- travelmates are pesky like that.]

Er-- yeeeah, actually-- nickname. It's-- I'll explain when I get there. It has to do with Dad.

[S-sort of.]

[eavesdropping action! -- THAT THEY ARE. :D b]

[Having been thoroughly shoved out of the camera, but he's still in listening-range of their conversation -- and he has to raise an eyebrow at this.]

A...nickname?

[When she says it has something to do with her dad, though, something clicks -- so he just gives Heather a "you could have told me sooner" look and doesn't add anything else.]

[you are being side-eyed so hard right now Heather. Cheryl. whoever you are.

But she's kind of deducing it has something to do with that whackjob, druggie cult.

Interesting choice of nickname. But I guess I can wait until then for an explanation.

[a pause, and she carefully removes the Zubat from her shoulder as it's starting to twitch and whack her in the face with a wing.]

Speaking of, where are we meeting up when you're done and rested? This place is a whole lot larger than the last town.
foolishwren: like what if you tried to sue obama and you just got a letter back saying "no" and he came to your house and did the worm (can you even sue the president)

[Yeee-ikes. Heather's getting a few panicky flutterings in her chest that are telling her she PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THIS SOONER-- though she hadn't thought it'd come up before they actually met.]

Yeah, it was... pretty weird to get used to at first. [She'll... wait to go into more detail than that, but she's hoping that at least that'll suggest there's more to it than just 'Oh hi I have a completely different name than I said I did!']

Okay, let's see... it's been awhile since I've been here, but if I remember correctly, there should be a little coffee shop on the corner, sorta by the little convenience store-- or Mart or whatever they call 'em. It's kinda like Starbucks, but not? Similar logo, I mean.
