Fourth Wall [Action for anywhere]

[He noticed one thing straight away the sirens are back. Unfortunately they've brought along a friend with them this time. Today you might run into Harry Mason in two situations....]

[A]

[Sirens are fading into the background, but they'll be back. Harry is getting to his feet and looking around, rubbing his head. He also seems a bit jumpy, and holding a lead pipe in his hands.]

Can anyone tell me where I am now?

-

[B]

[And then the sirens start up again.... and if you are in the vicinity you might want to copy Harry and find cover. Because his friend has shown up.]

[His friend looks like this ]


[His friend is looking for him. If he see's you he'll try to get your attention.]

Get down! That thing is dangerous! 

[Yes Harry the giant knives and it being covered in blood may have given that away. It's wandering around looking....]

[And Coop notes that change, because it's impossible to not notice. It's quite a difference from his normal demeanor, but at the same time, Harry's always had shades of this, the assertive, determined person that knows how to get things done.]

[But he's still not sure where to begin to start sorting this out all out in his mind, no matter how willingly he listens to the information.]

[One thing stands out, though. And while he's mostly just trying to make sense of it now, it'll pain him once he's not so overwhelmed.]


God, you mean that's why they killed you- what they were using Heather for ...

[Man, this is ... a bit much, and for a short moment he forgets to keep an eye on the monster in favour of staring at Harry. Because that's what it is, really - staring, as things both fall into place and don't.]

[Just ... excuse him for a moment, Harry - Coop's holding his hand up in the universal stop sign while he looks back out at the monster and the grime.]

Give me a moment.

[Coop's normally pretty on the ball with things, and Harry probably knows this even if they haven't talked all too often at length, but he's clearly having a bit of trouble with this. If it doesn't show in his expression, it might in his voice; just a bit faint and distant as he tries to catch up.]

[But after said needed moment, he seems to collect himself a bit, lowers his hand to his gun again and breathes out slowly.]


Did they succeed?

[Coop doesn't say anything for a while, but he's ... starting to get back into a place of mind where he feels like he can tackle this.]

[Still, what he says isn't an indication of that, exactly.]


I had no idea.

[Just a soft (if still a little tight - the monster is still there) expression of sympathy, even through some of the disbelief still clinging to his tone.]
tapestodiane: (laid to rest)

[Coop understands that reasoning. But it still kind of upsets him, because he works in a division that wouldn't have locked him up. It's just a division that's generally kept fairly quiet.]

[So he looks a bit ... well, sad, really, when he shares that little piece of information.]


I've said it before, but I do believe you. And I strongly believe my supervisor would as well.

[A beat, a glance; monster still where it was last.]

I wish we could have been there to help.

[That's a lesson Coop himself hasn't learned. He still spends a lot of time beating himself up about things he couldn't change, things that might not even have been his fault - not that he's doing this now, because Harry's and Heather's situation is not only different to his timeline but potentially from his very world.]

[But it still grates at his mind. He can't shake that.]


Spoken like a true survivor, [he says without indication his own doubts, allowing the respect he feels for the Masons to show; a bit of admiration as well, but it's not baseless.]

[Coop is a lot of things, and he knows this. Knows he's different, particular, peculiar, and the one usually leading the fights he comes across.]

[He knows he's damn good job at his job.]

[But he also knows that he couldn't kill a god.]
