Room 029 [Video/Action for Mohogany] Backdated to the 5th

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[A road-worn face greets the network. Behind him is a clean Pokemon Center that contrasts harshly with how trashed the poor guy is. Covered in dirt and leaves and bite marks and various other stains from the wonders of nature, Henry looks about 110% done with the world.]

[His usual shyness is nowhere to be seen and his voice is hoarse]</sub>

The glitching has finally stopped. We're finally out of the woods. I talked to a world famous psychic and even she doesn't know what's going on with how weird this place is. Nobody ever dies. If this was the real world somebody would have already been eaten by a bear or something.

I feel like my old gameboy after my mom washed it by mistake. Just...checking in. When I get back to the hotel, I'm sleeping for a week. In a bed.

_{[She pauses, before opening the door and stepping inside.]}

I've... been practicing a little. When I can.

The Sheriff was helping me a bit, up at that farm.

_{[Dropping her bag on one of the bed, she turns and jerks her thumb at the bathroom door.]}

All right. Get thee to the tub.

_{[The photographer wanders on in after her and stands in the middle of the room almost cluelessly. WHAT AM. HOTEL ROOM? BLANKETS? CIVILIZATION? It felt so surreal but so nice at the same time. And right over there was his stuff just like it was supposed to be!]}

Alright, alright...I'll go wash the wildman off.

_{[And so he did. After which he would actually flop face-down on one of the beds and refuse to move for several hours. The floor just wasn't going to cut it today.]}

[foolishwren]

Good man. See you in a few.

<sub>[And when he gets out, Heather's doing unpacking-- not a lot, but given that they're likely to be here for at least a few weeks, might as well.]

[So he's free to lie there and take comfort in the sounds of his adoptive sister puttering around-- she won't bother him. He deserves some lie-there-not-moving time.]

[Eventually, though, when the sun starts sinking low in the sky, she does head over to give him a poke.]</sub>

Hey.

Dinner.

Wanna go out somewhere or just eat in here?

_{[Henry doesn't respond at first, but his body does boot up long enough for him to speak.]}

I just wanna stay here. I like walls.

_{[Under normal circumstances, Heather would drag him out of the room by the seat of his pants if she had to, but he quite frankly deserves some indoor-time after everything he just went through. So she nods.]}

Okay. I'll run out and pick something up real quick.

_{[She's not sure what kinds of food opportunities are around in this town so she might as well scope out the territory. All the same, she pauses by the door, looking back over at him.]}

... You sure you'll be okay here by yourself for a bit?

[Action]

[no_ufo_ending]

I'll be okay.

_{[He sqirms around on the bed until he's angled so that he can reach down into his bag and pull out a pokeball. He releases Boo and she eagerly clambers up and sits on the back of his head.]}

Boo's got it covered.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Well... all right, if you say so.

<sub>[She starts towards the door again... then pauses. After a moment's thought, she pulls a Pokeball out of her pocket and pops it open by the edge of the bed.]

[Apparently psychically knowing what she's supposed to do, Cheryl trundles over to Henry's side and curls up contentedly. COMFORT EEVEE IS HERE TO CUDDLE.]

[And then Heather heads out!]</sub>
