031 - 4th wall

[tapestodiane]

[If you're around ... wherever he is, but it's out in the woods somewhere, you might hear gunshots. And if you're curious enough to see what's up, you'll see that Coop evidently has his gun back and is shooting at targets. Where they're from is a mystery, but he's making the best of their presence - his skills have waned some in the years he's been stuck in pokémonland, but it's evident the longer he's at it, the more confidence and skill shows in his shooting.]

[Until he's at the point where he's consistently hitting the bullseye in every single target every single time.]

[Yeah, he's that good. He could shoot you a pattern if you like.]

[... and there magically seems to be ammunition around whenever he needs it, so hey.]


(Action absolutely anywhere as per usual - feel free to just bump into him wandering if you prefer. COME AT ME.)

_{[Cooper nods, but feels uneasy. He believes the girl ... yet he knows that this isn't how it should be.]}

Who are you, Danielle?

[allthekeys]

[That smile is back, slow and knowing.]

I'm her friend. That's why I had her promise to stay.

[tapestodiane]

_{[There it is, isn't it?]}

Friendship shouldn't be about power.

[allthekeys]

It's not. [And now it's a frown again. Something more irritated this time.] Laura's my friend. She promised to stay with me so that I could help her.

[tapestodiane]

_{[It could be true, he reasons. But even if that's true it's not all of it.]}

How did she find you?

[allthekeys]

She came to my house. She's my guest now. You wouldn't be able to find her.
