[01] Cold, Wet, and Lost. [Video/Action]

[The feed clicks on to (1) disgruntled looking Osakan, who's already wandered off out on Route 29 in the middle of the night...]

[He hasn't gotten very far.]

[He's sopping wet and muddy and he's sitting half-cross-legged at the base of one of the ledges, in a puddle, with a visible scrape mark behind him from apparently skidding down the slope.]

[There's a largeish squirming shape that's taken up residence in his jacket, with a near-constant whining, and in the background up above can be heard a rapid-fire "RAATTATTTTATTT" scolding angrily.]

'Kay. Seriously.

What the HELL is going on?! This ain't Osaka, that wasn't my house, I don't even KNOW that lady, an' the damn book didn't give a single clue what the Hell or how I got here or where on EARTH this is-

[The scolding Rattata up above has moved from scolding to audibly strutting; Heiji scowls.]

.....Oh when this rain clears an' SOMEBODY stops bein' a wuss- [He's glaring sidelong up the hill...]

[Lapras definitely likes the attention. :D SNIFFING. HEY, I'M HUNGRY NOW THAT I HAVE GREETED YOU BOTH.]

[Aww, Houndour! Katara starts looking in her bag for something to feed Lapras, who doesn't seem to care at all that she's too big to be covered properly from the rain.] Poor little guy, I guess they don't go back into the Pokeballs once they're out?

... [Blink. Realization and an embarrassed smile.] Oh! I'm so sorry, I totally forgot to actually introduce myself! I'm Katara.

Heiji Hattori, at'cher service!

... [] Yanno, that might not be such a bad idea, if I can get'im to stop hidin' in my jacket fer a minute... []

[Heiji Hattori, that's a long name you have there! Not too bad though.]

So they do? Well, I guess it's worth a try in any case, but I don't think she seems to mind. [Indeed Lapras looks pretty happy to be getting wet. Katara glances around for better shelter. The ledge really isn't offering much, if any, and she'd left her tree to approach you once she'd manage to spot you.]

[]

Well, if she's a water type, then she's probably enjoyin' the rain. [] Oi. Bas. C'mon, yer gonna have to come out of there if I'm gonna get you out of the rai-

((It's probably a continuation of the DDoS attack side effects :/ Tagging doesn't seem too bad, but posting's been a nightmare all day, and apparently it also hits userpics and things...They've been trying to fix it and get everything back up for most of the day.))

((What? Wow, D: that's the first I heard about any attack. That's horrible! Seems like more and more sites getting hit these days. Target just emailed me about something similar. :| Ugh. Scary.))

You have a point. [Though Katara could definitely go for some warmth against the rain's chill right then. She can't help but laugh at the surprised look on Heiji's face after watching him and his Pokemon scramble a bit there.] Hey, are you alright? [Managing at least that much between laughs.] We should still get out of this rain or we'll both get sick.

((Apparently there's a big Russian anti-corruption activist who has a blog hosted on LJ ... and some hacker group's been DDoS'ing LJ to hit at them. -_-.))

[] Eh? Aah, I'm fine, an' at least Bas's out of the rain. []

[] Maaah...

Well, we're not far outta town... or we could look for one of the sturdier ledges 'r somethin'... []

((=___= How very annoying. *sighs* At least the site isn't dead completely, though. I feel bad for them having to clean this up.))

[It's pretty impressive, the things that this place has, the Pokeballs, the Pokegear, now if only this weather wasn't so horrible--]

Yeah, but that woman locked the door behind me when I got outside, and it didn't look like there were many homes there. We'd probably do better to find a tree big enough to sleep under.

[Katara's quite used to roughing it even without a sleeping bag, that's one thing going for her in this situation. She looks at Heiji curiously, wondering if he did. Come to think of it, even dirty his clothes looked really strange, but like most of the people she's been seeing since ending up in this situation. You're dressed almost similar to Heather.]

Um, are you from a place called the United States of America too?

Place kinda weirded me out anyway... []

...[] Eh? N-no - I'm from Japan, though I know a few people from America - Come t'think of it, where're you from?

[Agreed on that, Heiji. Very much. While you answer Katara turns to Lapras to give her more affectionate pats on the nose, but then mimics Heiji's action to call her back-- just for now! She doesn't plan to chance her getting sick either. ~~Mother hen.~~ She looks at Heiji a little surprised and a little not. Talking to heather helped a lot, you see.] Japan? I've never heard of that either. I'm from the Southern Water Tribe, but we were in the Earth Kingdom heading for the Fire Nation until I wound up here.

[] It's a bunch of islands that're across an ocean west of America. [] There've been a few wars in the past, but nowadays the countries're pretty friendly, for the most part...

Never heard of any of those places myself - I guess this makes that whole "other world" thank more likely, eh?
