[Fourth Wall Event] Suddenly +1 Wife : Action + Video

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[You can tell something strange is going on the moment you turn on the network, it seems to be another of those weekends. Since the last one brought back the man/monster that killed him, Harry is more then a little wary. Waiting for sirens to show up, or more cult members, or worse.

So far this doesn't seem to be the case, and when Harry turns his gear on, he's actually smiling instead of looking jumpy. There's also a smiling woman next to him.]

[Video]

Hello, this is Harry Mason. ...Since we're not sure how long she's going to be here this time. I thought ...okay she thought, it would be a good idea if I introduced her to people. So, this is my wife Jodie Mason.

[The woman who has been smiling, waves at the gear.]

Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you all. I'm hoping to be here a little longer then last time, but from what I've been hearing that might not be possible.

So if anyone needs us, we'll be out exploring, because someone needs to go outside instead of hiding in his room writing all the time.

[Jodie looks over at Harry who just shakes his head with a sigh. But there's a smile on both faces. Jodie looks back at the gear]

Oh and I'd love to meet or speak with any of Heather's friends.

[Brown is Harry, blue is Jodie. Replies will be from this journal and also Jodie's adoptivemother]


[Action: Wherever]

[The sirens are back. Dropping Harry and Jodie around route. The sirens will start and your ears will hurt and suddenly the couple will appear on the ground, somewhere close by. Helping each other up]

You're right, those are annoying.

Comments

FINALLY AAAA

[foolishwren]

<sub>[No one who's heard those sirens can ever really forget them.]

[Fortunately... Heather saw the video post and knows that if she looks for the pair, she'll probably find them.]

[Her heart is racing, though-- with the clearer-than-normal memories from last time, getting to see her mother (as strange as it is to think of herself as HAVING one) again is ... a big deal.]</sub>

DAD?


... Uh-- ... MOM?

1/2

[adoptivemother]

[And the moment she's spotted she gets enveloped in a hug by her mother.]

Heather! There are you dear.

2/2

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

We were starting to think we'd never find you.

[Said with a smile though as he goes over to the two of them.]

[foolishwren]

_{[She barely has a chance to react before she's swept into the hug-- but as soon as the brief startled moment passes, she relaxes and returns it. Tentatively at first, then more firmly.]}

... Aw, come on... like I could stay away...

[adoptivemother]

[It's so strange hugging a grown daughter when she's used to being able to pick up a small child in her arms, but as odd as it is, she's still her kid.]

Of course you couldn't. How have you been? Harry's been telling me nothing but how well you've been doing and we've run into a few of your friends who say the same.

[foolishwren]

I've been...

_{[Not okay, if she's gonna be honest. But she'd rather not be. The clock is ALREADY ticking. Jodie won't be here forever. And Heather'd rather not spend that time dwelling on things she can't change.]}

... I've been pretty good. Keeping busy. You know, with this... Pokemon stuff.

[adoptivemother]

That seems to be the general theme here.

[The ticking clock is always present in these meetings.]

What type do you have on your team?

[foolishwren]

... Man...

An easier question'd be what DON'T I have on my team... heh...

... I have a lot of Fire-types.

_{[... And only Harry will truly appreciate the WEIRDNESS of that, so she doesn't bring up the fact that that's sort of surprising. ... Or not surprising at all, given how this place seems to work.]}

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Harry nods. He gets the weirdness.]

Why don't we find somewhere to sit down and talk first.

I think I saw a place that sells icecream a little closer to here.

[foolishwren]

Sounds good to me.

_{[Sitting down with your parents and eating ice cream. It's something that sounds so normal and yet Heather can't remember ever experiencing it-- not with both parents, anyway.]}

[adoptivemother]

Then it's a plan.

[She'll link arms with Harry.]

Lead on.

[She'll hold her other hand out to Heather with a smile as well.]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[It takes her a moment... but then she takes the proffered hand.]

[Wow. Walking down the street like an actual family.]

[Literally. WOW.]</sub>

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[It is a bit wow inducing, Harry is certainly smiling more then before. Because what is this, a family outing. Dead wife, dead father and daughter out for a nice walk with no monsters aside from the normal pokemon ones.]

[It doesn't take long to reach an icecream place and Harry finds them a secluded table.]

I'll get the orders. What do you girls want?

[foolishwren]

_{[And even the scarier denizens of the Pokemon world are a hell of a lot more pleasant than the ones they're used to. It's hard to be frightened of a big orange dragon when you've fought giant oozing tumors with legs and arms.]}

I'll take a scoop of black raspberry and one of rocky road.

_{[She says this as she slides onto one of the stools.]}

[adoptivemother]

I'll have anything with chocolate chips dear.

[She'll sit down across from Heather, as Harry goes to fill the orders.]

[foolishwren]

_{[Chocolate chips, huh? Yeah, she does seem like a chocolate chip sort of person. Heather folds her arms across the table, quiet for a moment.]}

... So...
