67. [4TH WALL EVENT POST]

_{[So that night, y'know, Heather and presumably a lot of other people getting ready to head off from Olivine in the morning after all that stormy chaos had all either conked out in the Center or checked into the (distinctly crappier than Goldenrod's, for the record-- PEH) local inn for the night.]

[And in the morning, all would be normal and Heather'd head off back to Goldenrod with her dad and everything would be totally chill.]}

_{[... Or not.]}

~*~

[ooc: SO FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT, HEATHER WILL BE WANDERING AROUND WITH A CERTAIN UNWANTED GUARDIAN ANGEL IN TOW. That said, if you just wanna subject Heather to whatever crack you want, by all means TAG AWAY as though Valtiel's just a fly on the wall. He's pretty good at that. SO HIT ME WITH YOUR WTF-IEST, GUYS!]

JACK-- it's-- ... it's okay, just drop it.

_{[She tries to edge around Valtiel, shooting the monster glares the whole way.]}

_{[Jack decides to keep his hands to himself.

8C BIG OLD SADFACE.]}

It's a...strange sort of day, isn't it.

_{[SORRY JACK.]}

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

... Any idea what the hell is HAPPENING?

_{[ 8C 8C 8C

Shame on you, Valtiel! You made the Pumpkin King sad!]}

I'm afraid I don't...I lost my favorite glasses, but otherwise I can't really complain. I do feel a little strange without hair, to tell you the truth. It's been...almost a year now.

_{[All this time he keeps an eye on Heather's bodyguard. What's this guy's deal? What, is he her dad or something.]}

_{[Dear god, no. Heather's dad did not have MOUTH ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, thanks.]}

Guess I should be glad that I stayed the same...

_{[Jack tilts his head.]}

Are you not supposed to be a little girl?

A... Huh?

... HEY! I'm not little!

_{[... Yeah she just... totally missed the main point of that question there.]}

_{[Jack manages to smirk without lips and reaches out to plop a hand on top of Heather's head--that is if he can get past her bodyguard.]}

Really?

_{[... oh no.]

[He tried to touch the Mother of God.]

[On any other occasion, that would be fine.]

[On this one? Nope.]

[Valtiel will now be reaching out and trying to snap Jack's hand off. >8(]}

_{[Jack pauses in his horsing around when Val decides to reach out and touch someone.

:D Oh! Delayed handshake! Maybe Valtiel was just shy. He sure didn't do a lot of talking.]}

Well hello-AAAUUWUAGLkddfjkldsjfdskdsd THAT'S MINE!

_{[And then Valtiel tosses the hand over his shoulder and folds his arms. ... And moves in front of Heather again. B(]}

_{[And here was Jack, now a left-handed man. He stood with his brow-ridges peaked and his jaw hanging limply on its hinges.

DB WHAT JUST HAPPEN. ]}

I...

_{[Heather is actually a little shocked-- buuuut this is the kind of thing she was worried about.]}

Holy SHIT! Jack, I'm sorry-- I-- you don't-- I'm sorry!

_{[ Jack stares at his empty sleeve cuff. Sure it didn't hurt but...but... ;___; WHAT DID HE DO? HE WAS JUST JOKING AROUND THIS GUY WAS A REAL STICK IN THE MUD. He didn't like Heather's not-friend at all!]}

I-I think...I should go somewhere else.

I-- ... uh... yeah, I think that'd be be-- ... d'you want some help finding your hand...?

_{[ Jack probably would have sniffed if he had a nose. ;-; That...had not happened before.]}

That...would be nice. Yes, please.

_{[Keeping an eye on Heather's guardian angel, Jack shuffles around them and scans the ground for his hand. He makes sure not to turn his back to them.]}

_{[Shooting a glare at her unwanted bodyguard, Heather bent down and started hunting for the hand.]}

_{[Jack does more useless fumbling on the ground than legit looking. HE IS A LITTLE DISTRACTED.]}

Why is...why is he so cross with me?

_{[Valtiel sure wasn't going to pipe up about it any time soon.]}

_{[Heather mutters out of the side of her mouth.]}

It's not you, it's-- ... he's overprotective.

_{[SORT OF LIKE DAD, BUT... NOT.]}

_{[Jack lowers his voice.]}

I don't mean to be rude, but if he's not your friend, who is he?

_{[... Sigh.]}

... Sort of a guardian angel.

That I don't want.

.....

_{[Jack glances back at the angel and pulls a <8/ before letting his expression flatten back out.]}

It takes all sorts, I guess.

_{[A pale, boney hand finally comes scurrying up to them. Val had a good arm on him.]}

There you are!

_{[... OOOKAY. That's a little creepy too to be honest.]}

Well, uh...

_{[Jack picks up his hand, which seems very glad to 'see' him as anybody's hand would after being yanked off and hurled away, and fixes it back onto the end of his arm. He flexes his fingers and gives Heather a wobbly grin.]}

No harm done, yeah?

Yeah, uh...

_{[AHAHA THIS IS SO AWKWARD. Heather's expression makes it obvious that she'd RATHER be in Jack's company than Valtiel's.]}
