17 -- 4th Wall Event -- Video/Action

[Somewhere in Goldenrod, there is a massive black robot. He's about 25' tall, well over four tons, and armed to the teeth.]

[He also looks excessively proud of himself as he kicks snow out of his path. This is the image the 'gear shows over the network.]

About time I was returned to my frame. Cold is hardly a problem now.

[For emphasis, he scoops some of said snow into one huge hand, and compacts it into what may be the largest and most deadly snowball Jhoto has ever seen.]

... Hmm.

[Be warned, citizens. The old weapons master is just looking for a target.]

_{[She grins, and then raps her knuckles on the side of his head. Since... hey, it's right there.]}

All right, enough smirking.

_{[That's rich coming from her, but then she points off at a different spot on the horizon.]}

Hey. Try and hit that tree on the hill waaaaaaay over there.

[The bit of metal her knuckles tap actually... rotates. And he pulls his head away -- that was his audio receptor, thanks.]

What, that one there?

[POINT.]

_[WHOOPS.]

Yeah! That one!

The spindly... birchy-lookin' one.

Hmn. All right.

[Now he goes to gather more snow for his next boulder. The aiming, the calculations... the whole circus takes place once again.]

[Until he lobs the snow boulder with all his strength.]

_{[HE SHOOTS... HE SCORES!]

[... And with a splintering crack, the tree sort of... topples over.]}

Whoa.

.... Wonder if we'll get in trouble for that.

[He snorts, shaking bits of snow off his hand.]

Why would we? It was an accident.

Yeah, but MAN. You know how the Jennies are.

... Man I wonder if there's any coming.

_{[She climbs a little higher on his shoulder and shields her eyes against the glare on the snow.]

[SHE DOESN'T WANNA END UP ON THE RUN. ... Although... all things considered? Being arrested for convincing a robot to hurl snow missiles at a tree hard enough to knock it down is probably one of the more awesome things to go onto a criminal record out there.]}

No.

Should I?

[He stands stock still, and lets her climb around. Honestly, he doesn't know anything about the Jennies... because he's never broken a law here.]

[And he can't see why breaking a tree would be against their laws.]

Dude, they're TOTALLY crazy!

_{[She stands on tip-toe, still peering out at the horizon.]}

They'll issue warrants for you, for like... totally stupid mundane stuff!

And stuff that wasn't even your fault!

[His good optic flicks in her direction, critically.]

... What did you do?

_{[... You know her too well, Ironhide.]

[Heather freezes and flicks her eyes off to the side, sucking her lips inward.]}

... I might've given a nurse a concussion with an IV pole.

... And bitten some police officers.

_{... on live camera.}

[Excuse him, Heather. While he carefully presses his hand against his face.]

_{[Her voice rises an octave in indignation as she spreads her arms.]}

I was hallucinating, all right?!

You were hallucinating what?

You remember those monsters, from the nightmare?

... Specifically, the one you picked up and BEAT some of the others to DEATH with?

... I thought they were those.

... Oh yeah. Those.

[Wellp. Now he can't blame her. At all.]

Yeeeeaaaah.

I didn't find out they were... you know... police officers... until like, two weeks later and there was already a warrant out for my arrest.

Why were you hallucinating to begin with?

The ghost Pokemon were collectively pulling... some kinda stunt.

I wasn't the only one... it was me and everybody else not from this world. Apparently it was total chaos.

_{[She leans on his head with one hand as she recounts.]}

Supposedly it only lasted a few days, but... felt like longer.

_{[To this day, it was one of the worst experiences she'd ever had in Johto... if not THE worst. Probably the same for most other people who'd been there when it happened, too.]}

Ghosts. Hmn... like Cliffjumper's purple thing?

[His good optic flicks in her direction, watching her for a long, silent moment before he says anything else.]

Always does.

Yeah. Ghost Pokemon, I guess I shoulda said. _{[Not that it makes a huge difference to Heather. She dislikes the Pokemon versions just as much as she does the ones back home...]}

But yeah.

It was kinda... yeah.

Not fun.

... Still, though, I totally owned those police.

Hmnf. The authorities here are... lacking. If you had done that anywhere else, you would likely not have survived.

Pffft, yeah yeah...

_{[Because she's Heather, she likes to think she could take on any police. ... But the truth is, yeah, she probably couldn't have.]}

It'd take more than some fat cop to shuffle me off the mortal coil for good.

Do not "yeah yeah" me, kid.

Not all the authorities are oversized and inept.

_{[She grins playfully.]}

Oversized? That seems a bit rich, coming from a giant space robot.
