How about an event?

Fourth wall? What fourth wall?

Suddenly, characters are aware. Of what? Of everything. They know they come from a book, game, anime, what have you; they know they're being played badly by their muns; they know that hey, you're just doing this to embarrass me, aren't you? So better watch out; characters are busting through that fourth wall! Hopefully they can handle the knowledge... and hopefully you can handle your character.

[Adachi glares up at him.]

You just wait until I blow up on you. I'll show you tact.

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

...Don't remind me about that.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

Not looking forward to it?

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

Are you?

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

I asked first.

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[A pause, then a nonchalant shrug, looking away.]

Don't care. Just a hassle.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[Adachi looks away to the side. Under his breath, with a small laugh:]

...Just a hassle, huh.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

Well then, better get this over with! Don't know why they're stalling about it!

Obviously there's no trouble on this end. It's just a hassle.

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[A frown, and Dojima flicks his forehead.]

Fighting's a hassle.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[A hand comes up, swatting the hand away.]

Attacking the front of my head now, Dojima-san?

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

You have a thick skull. You'll live.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[Adachi grabs the hand, then, under the pretenses of keeping his forehead safe.]

I don't know, with all this abuse I keep on getting...

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[A roll of his eyes.]

I'll let up if you get me some coffee.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[His grip loosens.]

You're the one who's good at making it. All this time, you've been making me do something you were already better at! I feel so betrayed!

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[Dojima's probably trying to hide his grin. He knows he's better at making it - probably is just picking on poor Adachi.]

So dramatic.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[A slow smile spreads over his face in response to that. He can't keep up his theatrics when Dojima looks like that.]

Tell you what - I'll make a compromise.

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

And what's that?

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

If we make it through the fight, I'll make you a cup.

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[Dojima pauses.]

...Alright. Holding you to that.

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[Then he smiles again.]

If it sucks, I'll give you a lesson in making coffee. That's my side of the deal.

[nowheresman.livejournal.com]

[Adachi holds his hand out for a shake.]

Sounds like a deal.

[juneslater.livejournal.com]

[Dojima takes his hand, shaking.]

Deal, then.
