A poisoning, new criminals... Busy week.


Heather, don't do anything that could get you arrested. [hur.] ... Wright's attacker is probably still on the loose, I'd suggest keeping a watchful eye out. The Police look a little preoccupied with the two new fugitives, so... They probably won't be much help.

[A pause.]


Right, Roy evolved into a Drifblim... I liked him more when he was a Drifloon, but I guess I can't change that...




I might take on the Gym Leader here. Any input on the Leader?

_{[When Heather's voice comes on the line, it sounds thick and kind of hoarse. She's not crying, but she has been-- now she's just angry. You wouldn't think a voice like hers could pull off a growl, but somehow, it does.]}

I'm not going to do anything yet.

But if she gets close, I'm not gonna make any guarantees.

_{[She's already SPOKEN to Dahlia... and that smug bitch had goaded Heather good and hard. There is a fight on the horizon, and the only question is when.]}

... Heather... [ He sighs. ] What are you planning to do to her?

[Audio] -locked-

[foolishwren]

I don't know yet.

_{[And... she doesn't. She just knows that if it goes her way, Dahlia will be wishing she never touched Phoenix.]}

She tried to kill him.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, I know. [ Another pause. ] Are you going to try to kill her?

[Audio] -locked-

<sub>[There's a long pause. Heather... is seriously mulling over just what the answer to that question is. And the truth is, she's not sure. It's not a question of whether or not Heather is okay with being a killer. She is, and has been. She had walked right into the very depths of Hell for revenge a little more than a year ago and she'd gone there with the sincere intention of killing her father's murderer with her bare hands.]

[This was similar in some ways, but... also a little different.]

[Phoenix was a friend. And he was alive. And heck, Heather wasn't even really personally involved, or fully felt that she had the right to be. Dahlia was just some crazy bitch, the attack hadn't been directed at Heather in any way.]

[... But she's still angry.]

[She's still really angry.]</sub>



If that's what winds up happening, I don't think I'd be too torn-up over it.


... But I'd settle fine for just hurting her.

Well... I won't say that killing's wrong, that there's no point to it... I won't tell you you shouldn't do it... You're smart, you can figure out your own values... I'm hardly the kind of guy to preach about that. [ Sounds of a lighter flicking. ]

The only thing I'm going to say to you is... If you're going to become somebody that you don't want the rest of the world seeing, don't brag about it.

And don't let your team see it, either.

_{[Heather sighs deeply, and... it's not the sigh of a pissed-off teen-- it's the sigh of someone who's been there, who has done this before and understands exactly what Snake is saying, and is much more than just some kid's indignant wrath. It's not Heather's usual cocky, brash tone. It's an old sigh. Snake will be able to appreciate it.]}

I know.

... I don't... brag about stuff like this.

<sub>[She bragged a lot about shit that didn't matter-- shit she didn't even care about half the time. It was all part of that carefree, overconfident face she wore in front of the world.]

[But she didn't brag about trying to kill Claudia.]

[And she wasn't going to brag about this-- even if all she wound up doing was going in there for a good, old-fashioned slap-fight.]</sub>

[YOUR TECH SUPPORT IS HERE DOIN HIS JOB]

Whitney. She uses Normal-type Pokemon, so your best bet is probably a Ghost-type.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[WELL FINALLY.]

Ghost type... So, I should go with Roy, then, huh. Any idea what her strongest Pokemon is?

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

Her Girafarig is part Psychic, and Clefable has Metronome--you'll want to watch out for those. But her strongest is Miltank, and it earned its name. It's hard to take down.

[video]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Mil...tank...?

Hhm... What do you recommend? [Checking his team stats.]

[video]

[philanthrotaku.livejournal.com]

....wait, do I have it backwards...?

This isn't like your proverbs, right...

She won't be loose for long if I can help it.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Make sure he's stabilized first.

Re: [audio]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

He'll be fine, he's with his friends last I checked. It's important she doesn't get away in the confusion.

[audio]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

A lot of people saw that video feed... It wasn't locked or filtered... She won't be able to hide so easily.

[audio]

[usedreturn.livejournal.com]

That's the tricky part, isn't it? Most of the people she's hiding from would do very, very not nice things. Acts of revenge and that sort of thing.

I'm the kind of person that prevents that sort of thing.

So, you're stuck playing devil's advocate.

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Don't use any Pokemon that are guys!

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hn? Why?

audio!

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

Because no matter how much you train them, they're not going to attack half the time when you battle Whitney.

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

Hhnn... Thanks for the tip.

audio!

[photonsaber.livejournal.com]

And ghost Pokemon didn't work that well either. I think if you have something that won't let the other Pokemon move, you should be okay, Mister!

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

... Hnm. All right.

My name's Snake.
