let's break some shit | day 4 afternoon [open]

[armedanddangerous]

It's been days now since he found himself stranded here. In that span of time, Squawky Man has only managed to grow more frustrated, more irritated, and more desperate to get some kind of grip on the situation. He's been searching the house for anything that might be of help, but so far has turned up with nothing.

Enough was enough. If the obvious tactics weren't doing any good, he was going to have to resort to more drastic measures. He's only met one being so far who had any idea what was going on, and he intends to make use of that. He stands at the top of one of the larger staircases, hand resting on the banister near a large vase of flowers, and yells sharply toward the center of the room, "Mason!" And in a more level (though still quite irritated) tone of voice, "I have some questions that need answering. If you don't want to cooperate, then..." He lifts his hand to the side of the vase and gives it a quick shove over the railing. A few seconds later, it shatters against the floor of the hall. "Too bad about the interior decorating." He smirks. "Got it?"

Without waiting for an answer, he snatches up a nearby lamp and smashes it against the wall. He proceeds like this through the house, tearing down curtains, kicking aside any moveable objects at his feet, and leaving a trail of damaged furniture in his wake.

Oh. It's that guy again.

The bird man has no intention of listening to his demands. He meets the other man's eyes and holds the newly-detached curtain in front of his face. Maintaining eye contact he slowly, deliberately, tears a seam down the middle of it, then tosses the two halves aside. How's that for an answer, dino boy.

[medalrider]

Dino boy doesn't like that answer. Dino boy's starting to think he doesn't like this bird, either. He looks around, assessing the damage. When he turns back to the bird, he's glaring.

"Why would you do this? What if you hurt someone?"

[armedanddangerous]

Don't worry, Dino Boy. The feeling's mutual.

He glances around the room, sees no one in the vicinity, and shrugs. "They can keep out of the way if they want to."

[medalrider]

Dino boy makes a little frustrated noise. He can't believe how selfish this guy is being!

"What if you broke something important? Or you broke someone? Think about other people!" He doesn't exactly expect bird man to listen to him, since he clearly doesn't care, but he's getting kind of genuinely worked up. It's starting to get a little hard to talk around his teeth.

[armedanddangerous]

Other people? The thought makes him sneer. Why should he care about other people?

"Let's hope the house starts talking then soon, hmm?" His right hand closes around a light fixture attached to the wall, and he jerks it in order to tear it off.

[medalrider]

He takes a step forward to grab bird man's arm in an attempt to get him to stop wrecking things and have a normal conversation.

"Is that why you're doing this?" He asks, shocked. "I don't think he's gonna be happy with what you're doing to him."

[armedanddangerous]

"Yeah," he says, tugging his arm away. "That's the idea."

[medalrider]

"I mean... I don't think he's going to talk to you. He'll just yell at you, like before." He says, letting his arm fall to his side. He thinks about cleaning up some of the mess, since bird boy here probably wouldn't.

[armedanddangerous]

"Guess he'll have to deal with some ripped upholstery then." The purple guy doesn't seem like he's going to back up his threats, so he shrugs and turns away.

[medalrider]

"Hey!" He grabs the bird man's shoulder and tugs, trying to get him to face him again. "No, he won't. And neither will anyone else. If you don't stop... I'm going to stop you." It's only fair to give him a warning.

[armedanddangerous]

"Are you?" he asks, with a bit of a smirk - it's not like he's doing a good job of it so far. He pushes back against the dino's chest dismissively.

[medalrider]

"Yes." He says. He warned him. His job is to protect others - to protect the house, so he's well within his rights when he springs forward to try to tackle the bird man to the ground.

[armedanddangerous]

In spite of his taunt, squawky man isn't actually interested in starting a fight - at least not with this guy. When the attack comes, he ducks. At the same time his body shrinks, and his attacker will find that it's not a man he's lunging after, but a parrot. He flaps upward in hopes of escape, letting loose a squawk that sounds suspiciously like laughter.
