024 - 4th wall

[tapestodiane]

[AUDIO - and this isn't Cooper speaking. It's a strange, stilted voice you don't recognise.]

You are heere an thereis no place to g o ... BUT HOME!!

[After that, have some laughter. Again, not Cooper.]

[ACTION ANYWHERE: A lot of you know Cooper, but none of you know exactly how bizarre his life actually is. If you run into him today - anywhere, because any one step in a 4th wall is a treacherous one - you might find him accompanied by a Little Man, clad entirely in red, with secretive eyes. He carries a ring. Coop looks ... troubled.]

[You might find yourself in a Red Room, actually. With the Little Man, the Ring, and perhaps other things. Cooper may or may not be there.]

[Or that might not happen at all. In which case just feel free to bother Coop with having your true form/powers back/your very presence. Nevermind the Little Man, he has no business with you.]

(ooc: might do some tagging with reddrapes! the Red Room is basically a place that screws with your mind, so if you want me to mess with your characters just let me know. COME AT ME BROS)

Action! Red Room

Action

[reddrapes.livejournal.com]

<sub>[It might not be so welcoming if you take a look around, Vincent. You're in a corridor - zigzag floor, drapes on all sides. But there ARE a few smears of red on the floor, leading up and to the right.]

[You can part the curtains there, if you try.]</sub>

[ichabod inhales sharply as he takes in his new surroundings. he's... not in the hollow anymore, is he?]

[he swallows. what is this place?]

<333

[reddrapes.livejournal.com]

<sub>[...no, sorry. Not the hollow. And it's not certain that this place is a better one.]

[There's drapes on both sides, and a zig zag floor in the middle. If he goes up and to the right he can part the curtains - he'll probably know this, but not be sure just how he does.]</sub>

[action: red room!]

[exeggutorhead]

[Somehow, Envy's not as surprised about suddenly being in this place as he would have been before coming to Johto, or even if he hadn't remembered the last fourth wall.]

[But it's still weird as hell and kind of creepy, honestly. Is there anyone else here?] Hello?

Where the hell am I?! [Being frustrated helps with the creepy, in Envy's mind.]

[reddrapes.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Well, there's no answer. And the curtains on all side of him sort of catch his voice - it doesn't resonate past them.]

[Maybe it'll feel better if he talks to the statue? Because there is one, up ahead in the corridor. A white Venus de Milo. To the right of her, he can part the curtains. How he knows is a mystery.]</sub>

Action at the Red Room 8)

[zach-is-with-me.livejournal.com]

[York thought he might have seen someone familiar. Dale Cooper, was it? Yes, that's right. He can't recall where or when he met him, but he did.

But did he really see him?]

Zach... Are you there?

YOOORK :D

[reddrapes.livejournal.com]

<sub>[He probably did, but in any case, he's not there.]

[But someone else is. York will find himself in a big, red room, drapes on all sides, and two chairs near the center. Big, sturdy, dark things. And in one of them sits a little man in a red suit and he looks at York as though he knows something he doesn't.]

[There is a slight movement in the curtains, but otherwise, everything is still. He can go up and to the right to part them and get out from the room - he knows it, even if he doesn't know just HOW he knows it.]</sub>

[Voice/Video]

[notmidgets.livejournal.com]

There is a place to go! Up our arses.

[Video]

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[KRSH! ... that is the sound of Cooper's brain breaking a little.]

[He can handle Little Men from Other Places, talking logs, giants and blue men outside his window. Those are all things that however bizarre, he's come to accept.]

[Criminals are of course a category in themselves, but he likes to think he's grown pretty adept at handling those at well.]


[This? This is like someone took the worst behaviour in the most frustrating of teenagers, put it into a little ORANGE man, and that is a little more than what he'd liked to see. Thank you very much.]

[He hesitates a second, switches back to audio, and then asks the obvious question a little harshly.]</sub>

Who are you?

[action] normal?Coop

[memoryboss.livejournal.com]

<sub>[She stands huddled in the shadow from a house, a bit hunched over, as if she's afraid to walk out in the sun. There's a growlithe standing by her feet, tail between its legs.]

[From afar, the look... fairly normal. But are you sure you haven't seen this girl somewhere before?]</sub>

[action] well "normal" is certainly debatable ...

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[He has. In fact, it doesn't take him too long to recognise the stance, the hair, the silhouette as a whole -- but it still takes him a little longer than usual, because while he thinks it must be Heather, hiding like that is behaviour that doesn't add up to the Heather he knows.]

[At least not typically.]

[But he's gotten to know her better these past few months, gotten to know about some of her demons, so it's understandable that his first response to the sight of her - well, he does think this is her - is concern.]

[At the same time, he can't help but feel there is something just slightly off here.]

[He approaches, carefully, mindful of whatever might be going on.]</sub>

Heather?

action. normal for now! \o/

[reveiller]

[ someone's just wandering around, admiring the weirdness of the day when he notices a familiar face abound. he pauses, then walks forward as though to greet the other, when he spots someone behind Coop, almost inconspicuous, but not quite.

his eyes narrow. he lifts his head, and smiles at Coop, amiable. almost apologetically-- ]

Terrible day for a walk, isn't it?

yes sir!

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[Ah, Fuji. He smiles back, but it probably comes across as a little distrated, and he steps out to offer a handshake in greeting, because that's what Coop does.]

[The Little Man behind him just eyes them without saying anything. Cooper is happy to take his attention off him, personally.]</sub>

I should say so. But these kind of days hardly allow you to be still too long, do they?

Normal Coop

[adoptivemother.livejournal.com]

[A woman is looking around.]

Excuse me.

[tapestodiane]

Ma'am?

_{[He's polite and looks like a guy you can trust, so when he takes one or two steps towards her it's with the clear intention to help out.]}

Cooper and the Little Man.

[harryusedworry.livejournal.com]

......Are you alright?

[He's walking by but you look worried.]

[tapestodiane]

...I've been better.

_{[The Little Man laughs from somewhere nearby, as if to emphasize the words. Cooper is looking a little worn and - yes, worried is a good word right now.]}

XD

[isntittoodreamy.livejournal.com]

(She takes in her surroundings with more than a little trepedation. She'll probably throttle her mun for this later. She remembers this place, though can't exactly recall the how or why of it.)

"I might have taken a wrong turn somewhere."

:D <3 --also assuming for normal Johto

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[A wrong turn would be putting it mildly. If she waits just a moment, though, she'll get company - in the form of a blue and yellow dog, who will happily run up to her in that excited way most dogs do and try to sniff her hands.]

[Let's just say the Manectric is fond of meeting new people.]</sub>

[Action]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[GOOD MORNING COOPER. In addition to all the OTHER oddness you've likely seen about today, here is another one.]

[Perhaps it's a Pokemon that's never been seen before, or perhaps it's not-- but either way there's a big black scaly axolotl with wings that's roughly the size of a large canoe, touching down in Ecruteak with a snort and a pluff of steam.]

[8( Where is Hiccup.]

[... Probably not here, but these wooden houses SORT of look like the Viking houses...]</sub>

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[Oh. Oh, my god. Is that a dragon? A real dragon?]

[That isn't monster-sized and ready to maul something?]

[That just might be the most welcome distraction he's had all day.]

[Needless to say he'll be cautious when he approaches, but he seriously can't help but doing precisely that with a pure look of WONDER on his face.]

[Hey. Hey, dragon. You're really something, aren't you?]

[Just going to stand here and watch for now in quiet admiration. Wow. A dragon.]</sub>

RED ROOM *^*

[used-glare.livejournal.com]

{This place is eerie, and Nanao doesn't like it. But, she's not going to move from her spot until she gets some answers.}

Hello?

:U

[reddrapes.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Well, she'll find herself in a corridor, first of all. Red drapes on all sides, zig zags on the floor. There's a statue on one end, of Venus de Milo. To the right of her, she can part the curtains if he stries.]

[How she knows this is unclear.]

[And of course, there are no answers.]</sub>
