[6] Action for Violet/Everywhere [Fourth Wall Event]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake is in his apartment minding his own business when there's a flash of light.]

When it fades, nothing seems different for a minute. All's normal and as it should be, everything in its place. After a second, it sinks in. There's something that's been out of place for months, and all of a sudden the feeling of nakedness is gone.]

[He pats his side, and there's the good, reassuring weight of his gun, right where it should be. He takes it out to give it a look over, and it's exactly as he remembers it. He puts it back and feels more himself than he has since he got to this damn place.]

[That's when he notices there's a lot of strange noises outside.]

[Blake opens the door and steps out.]

[He takes a good look at around.]

[He thinks it over.]

Nope.

[He turns around to go back inside.]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake gives the kid a look for a while.]

...you're being a smartass on purpose, aren't you.

[Action]

[stillpure]

[Yes, yes he was. He stared up at him with completely genuine looking innocent confusion.]

What makes you think so?

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Now I'm sure.

[Blake sighs and rubs his head.]

Magic ninja or not, you're still a kid. Stick with me until...whatever this shit is blows over.

[Action]

[stillpure]

[Ohhh, this one was good at picking up when people were making fun of him. Good to know.]

I have nowhere better to be... so that's fine with me.

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Having somebody to look out for made all this crazy bullshit not quite easier to take, but easier to put on the back burner. No time to worry about losing his mind, he has things to do.]

C'mon, I'll get you a burger.

[Action]

[stillpure]

[He wanted to make sure because maybe it was some other thing where this guy was from but..]

What's a burger?

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

What's a-- you gotta be kidding me.

You know, food. Meat on a bun with cheese and ketchup. Ah, hell, I'll show you.

[Action]

[stillpure]

You use a lot of odd words, I wasn't sure it was the same thing. [It was a murmur and he wrinkled up his nose.]

I don't like those.

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Hey, I'm not the one talking about chalkraws and shinnobees.

What kinda kid doesn't like hamburgers?

Fine, you can get a rice triangle or something instead.

[Action]

[stillpure]

[He frowned up at him.]

I just don't really like meat, that's all...

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake claps him on the shoulder.]

Vegetarian ninja.

That's a new one.

[Action]

[stillpure]

[Have a very put out frown.] What's wrong with that?

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Just...not something I ever thought about.

[Action]

[stillpure]

I just... don't like how it tastes, that's all. Or how it feels when you eat it.

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

We'll get you tofu or something then.

Did you even know how many types of tofu there are around here? Godd-- Whole aisles full. Who needs that much tofu?

[Action]

[stillpure]

[That got him blinking up at him.] Do you not like tofu?

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake states a flat-out fact.] Nobody actually likes tofu.

[Action]

[stillpure]

...I like tofu. Sometimes.

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake looks down at the kid, brow furrowed] You serious?

Well, we can get you whatever you want. Nothing better to do today.

[Action]

[stillpure]

[He visibly perked up then.]

Candy?

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

[Blake can't help but smile slightly in response.]

Sure.

That's the first time you've actually sounded like a kid.

[Action]

[stillpure]

[He flushed slightly at the comment.]

Father doesn't let me have sweets...

But I like them.

[Action]

[lieutenantantichrist]

Well, today's an exception in a lot of ways.

[Action]

[stillpure]

I know. Otherwise I wouldn't be here, right? [He looked at him expectantly, clearly expecting him to lead the way.]
