selfhelp | [Action] Fourth Wall

BILLY KAPLAN will be either a) flying/teleporting around or b) wandering through the chaos just wondering what the hell is going on; he's never seen this in Luceti before, and it's definitely something to look at. He'll be watching for familiar faces, definitely, or just poking at interesting-looking people.

EDWARD ELRIC is, surprise! Back from his kidnapping. Sort of. Temporarily. And he's trying to get himself home, but who knows what he'll run into on the way... eh-heh.

ASCH is in Good Spirits, mostly unruffled because he's been through like five years of this madness and refuses to get his feathers ruffled. But he will anyway, because he's like that. You might catch him outside as well, if he decides he's had enough and tries to drown himself in the lake or something. (This is entirely possible.)

[ooc: please put who you want to ping in the subject line or something, this is a catch-all! And Ed's just back for 4th Wall, his real return will be a few days after this. |Db]

[Billy stares back at him for a moment, visibly deflating. And then he lets the magic go, allowing Deadpool to drop the last several feet down to the roof.

Petty, but Kate was right- he really had needed a new code name.]

It's Wiccan.

[The merc with a mouth lets out a particularly loud yelp from his mouth as he falls, landing on his side and letting out a second yelp.]

Eugh! That's my shoulder, that's my shoulder! [Despite his complaining, he's back onto his feet in a moment's notice. Dusting himself off. One of his shoulders might be disproportionate to the other, but he'll fix that by popping it back to where it should be.]

Yeesh, so I was wrong. Didn't have to drop me. [Thoughtful pause.] Actually, that's probably one of the better options out of the ones I usually get when I talk. I'm pretty sure She-Hulk would have broken my spine if I called her Ass Guardian.

So... mind filling me on -- [Everything?] -- yeah, everything.

[Augh, that sound. He's used to hearing some interesting body noises, being on a team with Teddy, but you never really get used to the sounds. Super-healing, seriously.]

I don't think even I can explain everything- like why there's suddenly a huge crowd of people in this place, for one. But you're in Luceti. It's... some alternate world, or dimension, or whatever, that sucks people into it.

Alternate dimension-slash-world? Man, I was hoping for something new and exciting instead of the same old crapola I'm used to dealing with. How am I supposed to get all excited with this kind of setting?

[He actually sounds disappointed. Seriously.]

But hey. Don't dwell on why there's a huge crowd of people, kiddo. It's like Times Square. You can keep wondering why people are always wandering around, looking into the big, unnecessary Disney Store despite owning a huge collection of princess mugs, but you're only gonna drive yourself nuts.

And I'm like an expert on that. [Or so he's been told.]

I'll... take your word for it.

[He's heard things, okay.]

Have any of those alternate dimensions given you wings? Because this one usually does.

One of 'em gave me a nice rack. Does that count? And I'm pretty sure I was Iron Man in another one of those alternate dimensions. You know how it is.

[Deadpool looks over his shoulder for a second.]

I'm guessing by "usually", that means that I lucked out. I don't have a pair of dinky-looking mosquito wings like you do.

Yeah, looks you don't have any. [He lifts his cape briefly to show off the aforementioned dinky wings.] That's kind of a trend today apparently. I don't know what's going on that's caused it, though.

Wasn't me. Just putting that out there... because usually people blame me for everything that goes wrong or weird. [And it usually is his fault.] So there's tons of people without wings. Who cares?

At least you didn't make out with yourself. [...] Like me. We both haven't done that. Unless you have? In which case, gross.

[....Wow, Deadpool really is as weird as people have always said. Go figure.]

Uh. Can't say I have? But even if I had, should you really be the one saying that it's gross?

Uh, yeah? I've got opinions and I like to voice 'em. There something wrong with that? Are you gonna stab me repeatedly with adamantium claws if I keep voicing 'em? Because I'd like the heads up in advance so I know when to stab back.

[He shakes his head, shrugging.] Kids these days.

[Weird and crazy, apparently...

Billy lifts his gloved hands, giving his fingers a slight wiggle.]

No claws to speak of. Wolverine's around here somewhere, though, if you're in the mood for that kind of thing.

Logan's here? [It's almost like you can see his eyes light up from behind that mask. Even though he doesn't really ever have pupils.] Oh boy, I bet he's dying to see me!

... Not literally, like hell he could ever die. I've tried. [Pause.] Wait. Is this some kind of alternate dimension Logan we're talking about? Or is it good ol' bub snikt snikt Wolvie?

Bit of both, as far as I can tell. Apparently coming from an alternate dimension doesn't change that much for him.

So the odds of me needing a hook hand as a replacement if I go and bother him is...?

Because I already did the pirate gig. Didn't work out.

[Is there anything this guy hasn't done?]

I don't think he's maimed anyone yet, so you might be safe. Actually, I'm not sure if he'd even know who you are.

[Get respect and love from his peers.]

... Dude, that's not cool. [Wolverine, not recognizing his good buddy Deadpool? That's sacrilege or something. Has to be. There can't be any other way around it.

It also maybe just a little bit hurts his feelings.

...

Nah.] That's so not cool that I think even the geeks are upset.

Um, geek here? And I'm okay with it.

[He lifts a hand, expression casual. He probably should not push his luck with someone of Deadpool's reputation, but whatever. It's not even starting a fight!]

[Dude. If you weren't a superhero part of a comic series, Deadpool would have shot you in the head without a second thought.]

Ouch. I felt that and it hurt. Could be the broken shoulder though. Still your fault.

[SIGH.] But whatever! I'll live!

I can heal that if you want, actually. Um. Sorry.

[But seriously, Assguardian? You totally deserved it.]

I guess your healing's working slow like everyone else's powers are here.

Wait, are you taking me seriously? That's a first. I think. Is it? I can't really remember.

[He shrugs.] I'm fine, just trying to make you feel like a jackass. Doesn't usually work.

I feel empowered.
