_{[This is not the first time Henry has broadcast from the branches of a tree. This is, however, the first time he seems genuinely happy to be in one. There's something different about the normally reclusive photographer. He's got a head full of brilliant orange hair courtesy of the Halloween section in one of the little marts in town. The spray has made it stiff so it's sticking out in every direction. It matches the foliage behind him quite nicely.]

[He hasn't told anybody about this, having snuck out early in the morning to begin what will probably end up getting both his and Heather's asses kicked by a particular grumpy space robot.]

[If he can catch them.]

[He's got the 'gear angled up at his face and high above him, Burger the glameow is lazing on one of the thinner branches. Several bright green threads are draped around him and he seems pretty happy as well.]}

Watanuki, I got some yarn-- it's going to have to be all one color though. Burger destroyed the second color I got. Is one, uh, bundle of it enough? I need your address.

_{[He pauses and looks thoughtful. A leaf drifts down and sticks to his hair.]}

I sure am glad I blend in now so no giant birds can carry me off.

_{[ :I Oh, he knows what's coming. But he says that as straight-faced as ever. No, Ironhide, he is not dropping this.]}

_{[Crow's baulk from below startles Henry a little. He wraps his arm around the branch he's been laying on and peers down. 8I it's the sandwich guy.]}

Oh, hey, Crow.

[Still staring, looking as if he saw a ghost or something. Actually, scratch that -- a ghost wouldn't startle him that much.]

Uh, yo, Henry.

... The hell are you doing up there?

Playing a prank on a space robot.

_{[ c:! ]}

A prank.

[That he can understand.]

On a space robot.

[This part? Not so much. Probably due to his own experiences with space robots.]

... You sure you didn't hit your head while climbing this tree or something?

Yeah, there's a guy who was a robot before he came here. Doesn't know about rabies and stuff. Heather and I told him our hair changes color to protect us from predators.

_{[He looks...rather pleased with himself. He's in a GOOD mood today. Which is why he is saying several sentences one right after the other and not staring at the ground.]}

I haven't seen you for a while.

... Heh. Awesome! Be careful, though; robots have no sense of humor, y'know?

[Oh, he can tell the difference between what he sees now and that ~~creep~~ ball of anti-social he's given a sandwich to. It's a change for the better, too! ... Right?]

Yeah, been staying in Goldenrod for some time and stuff. How've ya been?

I've been okay. This place isn't busy as Olivine.

_{[It seemed to be tourists or old people.]}

True, 's pretty dull 'round here compared to there or Goldenrod, huh? [Because "dull" is synonym to "peaceful" in Crow's book.]

I dunno. I kinda like dull. I haven't been to Goldenrod.

No? You've gotta visit it sometime! It's a really cool place. Kinda like where I live! ... Except a lot smaller and, y'know. Behind in technology.
