[Heiji is outside, still in his work uniform – he’s just gotten out of the restaurant, and looks distinctly unimpressed – it’s not his fault the cook doesn’t know what he’s doing. :| ]

[That’s not what this is about, however.]

So…Anybody noticed these? [He turns the camera toward a pair of Murkrow that’ve followed him out of the restaurant…just … watching.] There was only a few around this mornin’, and there’s at least five or six more hangin’ around since then, not countin’ these guys.

[They’re actually being pretty expectant and tailing pretty close.]

…..Do I look like I’ve got any food on me? I’m not stupid, I saw you two playin’ this scam on that kid that came out with th’leftovers – even if I did have food, hangin’ around lookin’ creepy hopin’ I’ll spook an’give it to you wouldn’t work!

[The two stares turn very sullen at that.]

[AND THEN THERE’S A STORM OF BARKING as Baskerville bowls into the duo spitting sparks and raising a racket.]

Whoah whaoh – Bas – get – [Facepalm, get.] SMOG, TRY’N COVER YOURSELF – Ember – [What’s going on is probably less a battle and more a mildly embarrassing cartoon dustball, especially once the smog cloud goes up.] Roar, get some space – Ember – [As much as it’s coming from what’s still basically an admittedly big puppy, the snarling bark at least gets the second one deciding it’s time to leave, and the smoke clears on a significantly battered and growling Houndour with the lead Murkrow cornered and singed.]

[As much as there’s some unintelligible muttering, there is a pokéball tossed at it before the fiasco gets any further – although before he can retrieve it, there’s a white glow over the area…]

[And once it settles, there isn’t exactly a tiny puppy there anymore.]

[There’s a couple stupid blinks from Heiji, who’s holding the gear loosely, as Bas picks up the pokéball and carries it over to him – granting that Baskerville is now the size of a pony.]

Damn. Congrats - I guess you live up t’your name a bit more now. [He retrieves the now-caught Murkrow’s pokéball from Bas with a scratch behind the horns, and then remembers that yes, the Gear is still recording.]

So yeah – uh – are they doin’ this anywhere else? An’if they are, anybody got a clue why they’re suddenly movin’ into the cities?

Thanks!

Gotta be useful t'have around, an' who knows - maybe they can lead us t'something.

I'll make sure t'broadcast it if I find anything - if there's enough people lookin', we should be able t'figure something out.

[She nods.]

The more eyes and minds working on the problem, the better. And I'll let people know anything I do manage to figure out.

Good luck t'you then -

An' call me if you need any help with anything!

Name's Heiji Hattori.

I will.

I'm Margarita Surprise. It's nice to meet you, Heiji.

[]

[]

Nice t'meet you!

That's kind-of an unusual name - where're you from?

[She's starting to get used to people commenting on her name, though it still doesn't seem that strange to her.]

Oh, I attend school at the Silver Star Tower in the kingdom of Hennessy. ...Though I suppose those places might not exist in the world you come from.

[]

Nah, never heard of it myself; I'm from Osaka, though I've spent a lot of time in Tokyo - but I'm guessin' if you're not from Earth then those wouldn't sound familiar, would they? []

[She shakes her head.]

Not at all. All the places I've heard people mention aren't ones I'm familiar with, so I'd guess I come from someplace very different than most of the people here. I mean, it sounds like most of you don't even have magic in your worlds.

I don't think there's any magic on my world - managed t'unravel a good handful of hoaxes, but haven't seen anything real yet; just a few funny rumors. []

What's this Hennesy like?

It's mostly been pretty peaceful since the Archmage Calvaros was defeated in his attempt to unseat the royal family from power. There's always some tensions with neighboring kingdoms, of course, and some people don't trust magic as much any more, particularly in the smaller towns, but overall it's a fairly nice place to live.

[]

Sounds like it... there's always gonna be politics, but if it's not blowin'up, then that's about as good as you can ask for, really; things bein' pretty calm an' bein' able to live your life without worryin' about it.

Yeah, I hope things remain calm in the near future.

[Her smile belied the small pang of guilt she felt, knowing that that peace would be shattered if she succeeded in the task she'd been given of freeing the Archmage's soul. But could she truly be blamed when the alternative was being burned as a witch? She just didn't have the courage to choose a painful death over what she'd been ordered to do.]

I hope Johto isn't causin' you too much trouble. []

Not at all. It's been kind of a nice break from my schoolwork so far, actually.

Yanno, that's not a bad way of lookin' at it - for all th'trouble here sometimes, it is a pretty nice vacation.

[She nods.]

And if I'm going to be here whether I want to be or not, I might as well find ways to enjoy it, right?

Right.

Not so bad here, anyway... Peaceful most of th'time, an' at least th'occasional chaos keeps it from gettin' boring.

[Video] (PFFFF oh god I'm so sorry, people-named-after-liquor has Special Meaning in his canon XD;

[Video] While everyone's named after liquor in hers XD

[Video] If she gets canon-mates, his cast will have such heart attacks.

[Video] LOL XD It's not that likely, though, her canon's pretty obscure
