Second Injection. [video - backdated to the night of the 9th.]

[bluedespitebeing]

I've been thinking about words.

[Hello, Route! Today, this nurse is blood- and static-free, and she's also tied her hair back in a loose ponytail. Seems she's quite comfortable. Her tone is more one of musing, than confusion, which is always a step-up in her book.]

Things can have a price, but they can also have a worth. And both of those are good things, generally, and reflect something's value. So why is it good when something is priceless, but not when it's worthless?

[Lisa shakes her head.]

I suppose it's not important. But--

[She's cut off by a sharp series of taps at her window behind her, and she turns to see...a Hoothoot. And frowns. That thing sure is staring at her pretty hard...]

Again? Maybe I shouldn't have fed it...

<sub>[A Wild Henry Appears and it listens to Lisa's observation. He didn't have an answer for her--not a useful one anyway. He opens his mouth to blurt out some disjointed observation of his own but stops]

[HOOT HOOT! DB OH SWEET HOLY FROSTED FLAKES THE OWLS WERE BACK]</sub>

Get out of there, it'll eat your eyes!

[Wow Henry, THAT IS NOT HELPFUL IN THE LEAST. Lisa was already creeped out, especially since Heather has mentioned Henry's own troubles with his Hoothoot, and the sudden exclamation causes her to jump a little. In fact, she blurts out an assurance with very little thought.]

Don't worry, it's outside and it already ate!

I don't know what's wrong with those pokemon. The only one I've ever seen that acted like an owl was Heather's. And that's when she wasn't busy acting like a caterpillar.

[Now that her heart rate is returning to normal...]

Caterpillar...? How can an owl act like a caterpillar?

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Just...trust me. Those owls are bad news.

I'll...keep that in mind, thank you. Alessa suggested I try catching it.

[She hadn't seen a problem with the birds before, but Heather and Henry sure have done a number on her viewpoint.]

So...we'll see.
