Can't be tamed! // 4th Wall [Video &/or Action]

[fierybluebird]

[You know normal people when things get them down drink, carouse, carry on, lock themselves in a tower and cry for ten years... Okay well maybe not "normal" but people other than Marco do that. Marco on the other hand, grabs a piece of chalk and makes a hopscotch set out in the middle of the most open non-plant infested piece of pavement he can find. And then of course he shows off, because when you can fly and do backflips like nothing, hopscotch is really easy.]

Oi oi, for the life of me I can't remember if there's a rhyme that goes with this, eh?

[Yes, completely showing off with a few backflips.] Anyway, someone want to come play with me?

[Feel free to mock him, yell at him for showing off, try to push him over... you know whatever.]

[Jack appears to be perfectly okay with this. In fact, he moseys on over to the start of the hopscotch layout, setting his feet together mock-seriously.]

Well. What about pirate songs for hopscotch?

[fierybluebird]

Oh, got one in mind?

[jackofallcharades]

[He ducks his head a little.] To be honest... I don't know all that many, which is probably a crime for a musician. Just yo ho ho and all that stuff.

[A beat, then, thoughtfully:]

And lots of drinking songs. Do those count?

[fierybluebird]

I'm pretty sure they do, eh?

Though maybe not for hopscotch.

[jackofallcharades]

Are you saying you can't hopscotch to that? [Headtilt.] Or do we need to get drinking first?

[fierybluebird]

Drunk hopscotch sounds extra dangerous, but if you feel inclined, I don't see why not.

[jackofallcharades]

Well, the worst we could do is fall on our faces or run into each other, right? [The street looks pretty clear...] Unless there are some other rules I don't know about.

[fierybluebird]

Well you don't do it at the same time, eh?

And Pirate style is whatever you want.

[jackofallcharades]

You never know what might happen in pirate style, it sounds like. [His amused noise turns distinctly bemused when he looks around a moment.]

--Come to think of it, do you even have anyplace that to get drinks around here?

[fierybluebird]

Exactly.

And aye, I run the Northern Lights, that's the bar here.

[jackofallcharades]

A pirate and a bartender and time to play hopscotch? I'm jealous of all your free time!

Drinking or hopscotch first?

[fierybluebird]

This place will do that. And I like to keep busy.

Your call as the customer, eh?

[jackofallcharades]

Ah, but I'm broke right now! I'm pretty sure my wallet didn't come along for the ride.

[Cocking his head thoughtfully; honestly, being stuck in a dream is entertaining but so inconvenient! After a moment--]

What if we made a bet on the hopscotch?

[fierybluebird]

Don't worry abou--

Well, in that case, sure. What are you terms?

[jackofallcharades]

Heheh. If you lose, you buy us a round! If I lose, I'll sing for my supper. How's that sound?

[fierybluebird]

[Laughs.] And how does one lose?
