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.)

_{[Things Dale Cooper never expected his life to include: owing a pony a hat. He cringes. Apologetically.]}

I haven't seen you for almost a year.

_{[Which answers that. He rubs a hand over his mouth briefly. SORRY. (That could have ended so badly too. How did that bullet even manage to find its way to her? Yikes.)]}

I'm sorry about the hat. I'll make it up to you.

[She blinks, eyes widening.]

A year?! It's really been that long?

[She seems to forget about the hat, tossing it off her head and trotting over to butt her face against his hip.] You gotta tell me! What'd I miss?

_{[... aw, pony. He pets her mane because that's sort of where her head lands, by his hand; it's both affectionate and idle as he crouches down to be more on her level.]}

Hard to believe, isn't it? It's good to see you again.

<sub>[Even if he's more used to her human self, there's no denying this is absolutely her, and he missed her.]

[At the question, he smiles.]</sub>

Where do you want me to start? A lot can happen in that time.
