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.)

<sub>[He accepts the Gear (and holds it the right way), accesses the call screen with practised ease. He assumes that's the one she was going for.]

[But he does that idly, watching her as she speaks.]</sub>

Harry and- Cheryl?

[adoptivemother]

[She watches how he does that.]

Yes. You know them I take it?

[Looks up at him.]

[tapestodiane]

_{[And he hands it back.]}

I do. _{[Except from the future. And you're not in the picture.]} To answer your question, you're right in thinking this isn't a rare occurence. They've both been here a while. I hope you will find them.

[A bit of a sad smile there. She's actually painfully aware of the not in the picture anymore thing.]

Well I managed to find Harry already, but I ended up in another town here before I could see Cheryl.

...Apparently she's all grown up now.

[Mommy didn't get to see her baby grow up, reincarnate and then grow up again.]

[tapestodiane]

_{[Oh. ... well, that's at least something he can talk to her about. He smiles back, just as sadly, in confirmation.]}

She is. I'm very fond of her.

[adoptivemother]

Harry mentioned she had a lot of friends here.

[Just a noticeably happier smile, because her little girl.]

And to think, she was just a little three year old trying to eat one of her fathers books before I came here.
