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)

No?

<sub>[He shakes them a little, in that inviting gesture pet owners do, before he tucks them back into a pocket when it becomes clear Toothless isn't interested.]

[Somewhere he's still definitely mentally going EEE A DRAGON but for now there's that analytical part of his mind that's taking things in. Doesn't like that, huh. Looks like a carnivore, so that's not altogether surprising. Probably likes fresh food. He doesn't have that.]

[So he performs a sort of vague shrug.]</sub>

Well, then I don't think I have anything for you.

... Ggrrrrmf.

<sub>[Quite abruptly, Toothless moves forward again to give Cooper a slightly disgruntled shove with his head. It's not hard enough to hurt him or even knock him backwards too much-- just enough to show his displeasure.]

[... But hey, while he's this close, MIGHT AS WELL INVESTIGATE SOME MORE POCKETS. 8Ib Because he might still be hiding something.]</sub>

[tapestodiane]

<sub>[HE WAS SORT OF PREPARED FOR IT THIS TIME so he maintains his balance pretty good. But he still can't help a slight chuckle as Toothless goes back to that pocket-searching.]

[He's really just a VERY big leathery dog, isn't he?]

[So Coop will experimentally (with a total held in excitement because touching a dragon) - and slowly - put a hand on Toothless' head. Now, that's a tricky thing, cause there's not exactly an obvious place to scratch or pet when there's just .. leather and skin to go around, but this is just a test to see whether the dragon will hate him for it or not.]

[Or if he'll just completely disregard it in favour of pockets. It can really go either way, can't it.]</sub>

Hey, I told you. I don't have anything else.

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[Indeed! A big leathery... dog... cat... salamander... bat-thing.]

[His skin is pebbly to the touch-- and although the hand gets a flick of the ear-like appendages at the back of the dragon's skull, Toothless seems otherwise undeterred from his search.]

[THE POCKETS. MUST BE EXPLORED.]

[He starts to nip at the hem of Cooper's jacket. He's TRYING to see if there's anything hidden in the folds but with a mouth that wide, it's sort of hard to be precise.]</sub>
