goodcop[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?

Date: 2011-02-12 08:25 pm (UTC)Well, so long as you aren't traveling alone.
[BUT YOU GET A QUESTIONING LOOK HEATHER.]
Yeah, it's a little too late for that. Besides, considering where we live, I should be used to unpredictable winter weather. Next time I'll just pay closer attention to the weather, but honestly, I can't wait for everything to warm up, though spring's equally as questionable.
[a shake of the head and a smirk.]
Don't blame you. At least the weather's looking up now, and I plan on staying in Violet for awhile.

Date: 2011-02-12 08:30 pm (UTC)[For now, Heather's just raising a brow at the questioning look-- she's been here so long that she's actually sort of forgotten that most people would find some of the names that crop up here really weird.]
Yeeeeah, as I've told a lot of the people around here who like... freak at two inches of snow, I'm totally used to this kind of weather, but... I guess I underestimated what it'd be like to hike through it.
Back home, if I had to go somewhere during a snowstorm, I'd hop on the subway.
[But hey, at least there's clear skies overhead-- criss-crossed by branches in Heather's case. She's obviously filming while still on the road.]
I'm not... sure how long I'll be staying, but... I'm not in any hurry to head back out to the hills after that.

Date: 2011-02-12 08:42 pm (UTC)I'm not used to going on foot in this weather myself. I still can't believe I somehow made it through all of that cold with bare minimum supplies.
[Rinty helped her out a lot though. She'd probably be half frozen to death by now had it not been for a fire Pokemon making heat more accessible.
...her Zubat is useless, unfortunately.]
Well, so long as we have that coffee. I'm looking forward to catching up on what I've missed. Let me know when you've arrived.
[sloppily privated] XD Speaking of, how do you wanna do their meeting? Prose log, action or?
Date: 2011-02-12 08:53 pm (UTC)Jeez, you didn't stock up before you left Cherrygrove? [If Cybil weren't obviously alive and well in front of her, Heather might have been worried.]
Between us, my friends and I were able to stay warm pretty well... Snake's really resourceful, he's like... lived in the wilderness and stuff before or something. [Good job, Heather, now Cybil will think you're friends with a punk teenager with piercings and tattoos who also lives in the woods.]
HAH, don't worry, you can't get rid of me that easily!
I think we'll be there later today. I'll probably crash for awhile, but after that, I should be good!
[sloppily privated] ffffff. well, prose log might be nice if you don't mind!
Date: 2011-02-12 09:03 pm (UTC)[........oooh boy. Y'know, if she didn't feel responsible to help finding you back home...just. Heather, you make such eclectic friends.]
Just on food, really. I don't exactly have money to spare at the moment.
[OH MAN HEATHER she's definitely going to keep a closer eye on you once she finally meets you in person.]
Well that's...good to hear. At least you're traveling with people who sound like they know what they're doing.
[back in Silent Hill it was very easy to at least lose you. But at least now you aren't running around and floating away.]
Sounds good. I can really use some real food right about now. I never really expected to live off trail mix.
[sloppily privated] Prose sounds great to me!
Date: 2011-02-12 09:27 pm (UTC)[She has the best of tastes in bros. Obviously.]
I guess the pickings are pretty slim when it comes to jobs in Cherrygrove... I worked at the Center there for a few days but I don't recall it paying out too well then, either.
[And that's... probably a good idea, Cybil, given Heather's knack for getting in trouble. Ironically, the police department in Violet City will NOT be happy to see her back in town again.]
Yeah, they've got good heads on their shoulders when it comes to this stuff. ... Well, Snake does, anyway... I'm pretty sure Phoenix would get eaten by nature or fall into a ditch and die or something if I didn't keep an eye on him, so uh... one outta two, I guess!
[Don't be so sure, Cyb, Heather might not do the floating thing anymore but she makes up for it by being really, really good at running. Fortunately, she's not interested in running away from her father's pal.]
You know, after that first multiple-day hike from New Bark to Cherrygrove, I literally never wanted to taste trail mix again in my life. To this day, I STILL haven't bought any.
[Of course, she could afford to buy other stuff now-- sounded like Cybil wasn't that fortunate yet.]
[ACTION for Heather's side of the gear]
Date: 2011-02-12 09:33 pm (UTC)Gee, thanks, Heather.
[Action but it's visible to Cybil anyway]
Date: 2011-02-12 09:45 pm (UTC)[Reaching over her shoulder to smush his face with the flat of her palm because that's what he gets for eavesdropping. Get outta the frame, lawyer-man.]
[ooc: l-lol I just realized Heather never told Cybil about her false name. THAT'LL BE FUN TO EXPLAIN.]
[private video that's...being eavesdropped on.]
Date: 2011-02-13 03:47 am (UTC)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.]
[private video -- travelmates are pesky like that.]
Date: 2011-02-13 04:09 am (UTC)[S-sort of.]
[eavesdropping action! -- THAT THEY ARE. :D b]
Date: 2011-02-13 04:15 am (UTC)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.]
[private video]
Date: 2011-02-13 04:17 am (UTC)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.
[private video]
Date: 2011-02-13 04:26 am (UTC)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.
