Room 017 [Video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry's face appears and he gets right to the point. If one pays attention, they'll notice a dribble of wax slowly dripping down between his eyes. His new baby litwick seems very fond of his head. Henry seems indifferent. In fact, he seems kind of out of it.]}

What kind of pokemon is a candle with a face...

...I mean. I remember magnet-o-mite or whatever from the game but...

<sub>[And then he dozes off. The energy has been sucked right out of him. The litwick giggles and Burger can be heard hissing from off camera.]

[Where the hell is Henry? He seems like he's outside somewhere if the leaves stuck to his shirt are any clue. It looks like it's getting dark.]</sub>

[no_ufo_ending]

Uhhnnnn.

<sub>[He'd made a similar sound last Halloween after coming down from his candy-stash sugar high. He had no energy.]

[The little pokemon that was sitting on him senses Heather's presence and looks up at her with beady little yellow eyes. 8c She wasn't going to take her tall-shaggy-thing away from her, was she? He was food!]</sub>

[foolishwren]

....

_{[Okay, she's torn between being annoyed as hell at having wasted two hours tromping around in scrub... and just being exasperated.]}

... Henry...

<sub>[Guess his egg hatched...]

[Heaving a sigh, she stashes her 'Gear in the back pocket of her jeans and starts to clamber over the little fence.]</sub>

_{[The little Litwick waves her stubby arms at Heather as she comes near. SHOO! SHOO! HER HUMAN! "Wi wi wi wi wi!]}

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Sorry, Lumiere, I gotta get Einstein here back to the hotel SOMEHOW.

_{[Once over, she tries to shoo the little candle off of Henry.]}

[Action]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[The litwick doesn't like that at all! She puffs her face up and the flame on top of her head wavers and billows upwards impressively. It had all come from Henry.]

[She lets out a stubborn "WIICK" to let Heather knows she means bidness.]</sub>

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[With a slightly startled noise, she yanks her hand back, hissing sharply between her teeth.]}

Ffffffst!

<sub>[Dammit.]

[Muttering darkly, she steps back and pulls a Pokeball out of her pocket, releasing Butch the Quagsire in a flash of light. ... And shaking him off of her leg immediately as he performs his usual cold, clammy hug of greeting.]</sub>

Enough, boy, it's an... um... _{[She didn't really feel comfortable classing 'Henry is a dumbass' with 'emergency'.]} .... situation.

Grab that... candle thingie and hold onto it, wouldja?

_{[With a happy QUAAAAAG, Butch toddles forward with amphibious paws outstretched to do just that!]}

[Action]

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[The litwick jabbets and squeaks angrily at Butch because he is AN ALIEN MONSTER. She struggles but can't exactly run very fast and is picked up. She is not happy about it one bit, flailing her little wax arms.]

[Henry, meanwhile, begins to come around now that the little pokemon's attention is focused somewhere else.]</sub>

Uuugh...Heather?

_{[ ;-; Heather braved the WOODS to come and find him...she was the best.]}

[Action]

[foolishwren]

<sub>[BE GLAD YOUR LITTLE SISTER LOVES YOU, HENRY.]

[Otherwise she'd just have left you there in your candlelit stupor.]

[Butch waddles back, happily hugging the little Litwick to his chest. Between the wet mucus covering his body and his high level, the baby candle ghost wouldn't be able to do much more than sizzle angrily in his grasp.]

[Meanwhile, Heather leans over the groggy photographer.]</sub>

Me.

What the hell happened, dude? Are you okay?

[Action]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[He pushes himself up on one elbow and clutches his head.]}

Ugh...I feel like I've been run over....this isn't a forest.

_{[Henry turns juuuust a little red. He thought he'd been lost in fucking Yellowstone or something.]}

What the hell...

[Action]

[foolishwren]

Nope. It definitely isn't.

_{[She reaches down to offer a hand to help him up.]}

I think Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast had an unholy demonspawn child on your head.

[Action]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry stares at the freak candle baby and scoops up his gear. It had drool on it. Ecto drool.]}

What? What? _{[He shakes his head. He's still dizzy from the ghostfire.]} I'm sorry, Heather...I meant to pick up a few things at the poke'mart. I heard noises coming from my bag and now I'm here. I didn't mean to worry you.

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[Ewwww, ghost babies...]}

It's...

_{[She heaves a sigh, rubbing her temples for a second, before sort of reaching out and brushing gardening mulch off the back of his shirt. Harry's mother-hen instincts were mostly latent in her but they come out sometimes.]}

It's okay.

Just... try not to lead me on a wild goose chase next time, okay?

I thought you'd somehow made it into the Safari Zone or something.

[Action]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Safari Zone? That would have been...horrible. He lost himself to a brief daymare of being eaten alive by onyx. ]}

Next time I go anywhere, I'm leaving my eggs in the hotel.

_{[He narrowed his eyes at the huffing and puffing little candle. WHAT WAS THAT THING EVEN? He didn't remember half the pokemon they had.]}

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[Or trampled by Rhyhorn.]}

PROBABLY a good idea.

_{[She looks down at the Litwick as well and they share a moment of mutual 'what the shit is that' silence.]}

... So... congratulations.

It's a candle.

_{[ BC ITS NOT FUNNY HEATHER. GOD. Look at that frownie face.]}

Why do my pokemon try to hurt me?

[Action]

[foolishwren]

_{[ACKSHULLY HENRY IT SORT OF IS.]}

I doubt it was trying to... I mean, it is just a baby...
