Fourth Wall Open Mingle Log Of Doom

Who: ANYONE
Where: ANYWHERE
When: November 24th - November 26th
Summary: A MASS MINGLING POST
Rating: What are ratings
Log:


[Anywhere in Johto and Kanto, there are people interacting. Some of these strangers interacting with other strangers. Some of these folks are your old friends. The insanity has happened yet again, and boy will it be insane.

In short, this is The Ultimate Mingling post version 2, where everyone can run into each other again and again. Damage will only sometimes be repaired, but it doesn't matter--have fun with it! It's primarily for those in the fourth wall who run into another oddball from some other mythical land who's going "What's this place?" just like them, but for everyone who wants to just continue going nuts. Seriously guys, why did you guys let Sunny even bother writing a description. JUST DO FUN THINGS.

But try not to blow up the world, okay?

And as usual, any format is welcome.]

[SPEAKING OF FISTICUFFS—

Harry whirls around at the sound of Albert's voice. Waldo, who took it upon his tiny self to start pecking at the stranger's shoe, does the same a few seconds later.

...and then he hops over and starts pecking Albert's shoe.

Meanwhile, Harry is staring, expression caught somewhere between "what" and "the fuck."]

[What are you talking about, fisticuffs.

IT'S HUGGING TIME, BROSEIDON.]
likewatson: (&albert; rudeness personified)

[personal profile] likewatson 2012-11-24 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Please pardon Harry for being puzzled by this development, because—okay, all confessions of love aside, his only memories of physical contact with this particular FBI agent involve LOTS OF SURGING TESTOSTERONE.

So he just kind of stands there, looking stupid.

And this appears to be the stranger's cue to shake his head and leave.]
worktodo: (INCREDULOUS ☮ wait you peed where)

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-11-24 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, that's right, that stranger better leave. Can't handle all this manliness up in this business. And speaking of manliness, Harry is getting the MANLIEST BACK-SLAPPING HUG KNOWN TO MAN.

Albeit a brief and concise one, because they are in fact men after all.

Yeah.]


What the hell are you doing here? Don't tell me you just wandered in, too.

[And why is there a bird pecking at his—]

Is that yours?
likewatson: (talking about police business)

[personal profile] likewatson 2012-11-24 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Harry, who should receive a D- for effort, manages to get one quick, halfhearted pat in before Albert breaks away, at which point there is a fair amount of blinking.

IT'S LIKE HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT WORDS ARE.

Except then he does.]


I wouldn't say wandered. More like showed up completely out of the blue. In Twin Peaks one minute, here the next.

[He looks down, then shakes his head and gives the bird a little nudge with the tip of his boot to make him stop pecking. And hey—look at that! Waldo listens. Good bird.]

No. He just started following me back in... Albert, where the hell are we?
worktodo: (MUSE ☮ we could build a cyborg cop)

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-11-24 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, hell, not you too.

[That's a familiar pattern. One minute there, the next minute here, disoriented and with no idea where you're at or how to get back. He did that himself, four months back.

...Four months. Jesus, it's been that long?]


The best I can give you is the local line, Harry, and it's a pretty unbelievable one. Coop tells it better. For right now, just stick with "this ain't Kansas, Toto".
likewatson: (ma'am.)

[personal profile] likewatson 2012-11-24 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[That reply is all well and good for someone who isn't so over ambiguous explanations, but this is Harry.

And he is 3000% done with that shit.]


Then you'd better point me toward the Wizard, 'cause that answer's not gonna cut it.
worktodo: (TAUNT ☮ don't make me gandhi at you)

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-11-24 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't say he didn't warn you, Harry. With a classic Albert roll of the eyes, he obliges by launching into a rapid-fire explanation, voice tinged heavily with sarcasm and distaste.]

Yeah? Okay, Dorothy, here's what you're gonna hear when you get there. You've just wandered into a magical land called Johto where nobody's heard of paved roads, much less public transportation, ten-year-olds wander around alone in the dark woods with nothing but friendly animal companions to keep them from getting eaten, and some Nancy Homemaker thinks she's everybody's mom. Oh, and by the way, there's no way out, half the time physics decides it's tired of following logic, and you get a happy fun spirit guide, too.

[He scowls at the bird.]

It's probably that thing. Has it been hanging around you?
likewatson: (off in the distance)

[personal profile] likewatson 2012-11-24 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Well.

He asked for it.

Halfway through Albert's rantswer, Harry removes his hat. Unfortunately, that does nothing to help the information he's just received—if you can call it that—sink in any more easily, so he focuses instead on that very last part.]


For about two days, yeah.
worktodo: (SNARK ☮ nice broken ribs there champ)

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-11-24 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE TRIED TO WARN YOU, HARRY. This is why everyone should always listen to Albert. Always. Think of all the crises that could've been averted if people would've just done what he said.

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.]


Okay. That's probably your...they call it a "starter" around here. It's your personal pet partner. Bad news? You can't get rid of it. Good news? ...hopefully you're a bird kind of guy.
likewatson: (Default)

[personal profile] likewatson 2012-11-24 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not really an anything kind of guy, to be honest.

[Pets have never really been a Thing in Harry's life. Why take on the responsibility of another life when he's got a whole town to look after?

...but Waldo's kind of cute, he guesses.

And Harry really likes the way the bird's trying his damnedest to peck through Albert's shoe all over again. Memory like a goldfish, this thing.]


Partner for what, exactly? What am I supposed to do with him?

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-11-24 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He will sic his bird dog on that thing, Harry, so help him god.]

You noticed yet that your gun's gone missing?

[Except that this is fourth wall, so it's entirely possible that it hasn't. But Albert doesn't know that yet.]

Around here they use animals to fight instead.
likewatson: (&coop; nope.)

[personal profile] likewatson 2012-11-25 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[His hand snaps to his side. Does he really need to answer that question? Because the look on his face says it all.]

...what, like dog fighting?
worktodo: (EMERGE ☮ hey assholes pay attention)

[personal profile] worktodo 2012-11-25 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
Or cat fighting, or bird fighting, or pony fighting.

[At this point, a well-groomed Poochyena comes trotting up and sits obediently at Albert's side for a minute before — WAIT, IS THAT A BIRD.]

Some of us get dogs.
likewatson: (around the corner)

[personal profile] likewatson 2012-11-25 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[And there goes Waldo, right the hell away from Albert's shoe. He hurriedly wobbles behind Harry's leg, at which point Harry—who is not at all Okay with the idea of making these things fight—scoops him up and gives him a reassuring little pat on the head.

No dogs are going to eat you today, helpless creature.]


Okay, that explains the animals. Fine. Now there's just the issue of how we got here in the first place. Got any good answers for that one?
