[ Now, the thing about being a small family guardian dragon is that he needs buddies on his side. Allies, in case something goes terribly wrong. He doesn't recognize Jack from Bob on this list of network contacts but one name does catch his eye. Quickly, he has Crickee type out a message on the phone. ]

HELLO
MY NAME IS MUSHU
IS BATMAN REALLY YOUR NAME
CAN YOU FLY
?

[ Don't be that way, Clark. ]

I AM NEW HERE
IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPREC


[ There's a momentary pause, and then the sudden sound of someone talking. It looks like someone accidentally switched on voice. ]

—don't make me sound like some kinda grandma's boy! We gotta sound tough or ain't no one here gonna take us seriously! We don't even got the cow here, and I don't know about you but if I gotta walk one more mile here my claws are gonna fall off.

[ Mushu's lists of protests will continue until Clark replies somehow. ]

[ i'll kill you for your meta

There's a prolonged stretch of silence, as if the Eddie Murphy sound-alike is carefully deciding how best to proceed. (He is.) ]


Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah, I can fly, I can fly better than any bird you've ever seen, I'm just storin' up my energy until we really need it. Y'know, in case of emergency and all that.

[ There's some unintelligible chirping following that statement, which is quickly silenced. ]

I can see through walls and clothes too. And change my size. I just choose not to show off all my powers. Don't wanna scare everybody.

[ i slowly watch as his number ticks up for telling all these lies ]

[ This guy is way too nice, what's the catch? ]

You always go around invitin' yourself to people's inner circles soon as you meet 'em?

[ But lest this guy think that this is a rejection of his offer, Mushu adds quickly: ]

But consider yourself lucky, 'cause I'm in a gracious mood today and willing to bestow the great gift of my friendship on your humble self. [ Uh huh......... ] Betcha don't meet very many dragons in your life, amirite?

Help them with my awe-inspiring powers....

[ His arsenal of awe-inspiring powers is a little low at the moment but he'll make do. ]

Yeah, I guess you right. Don't suppose you need any help with anything, do you?

[ Oh thank everything. His voice perks up considerably. ]

You bet I can breathe fire. I can light up the whole car with just one puff. You hang onto your butt, I'll be right there before you can ask for another order of pan-fried noodles!

[ Back to his phone he goes! Ring ring, please pick up, Clark. ]

So, uh, looks like I'm havin' a little trouble getting the ol' one-two to work. Guess I didn't eat enough lunch or somethin'. Anyway, why dont'chu holler real loud, that way I can find you?

[ He's absolutely positive that his ears aren't broken, at the very least. ]

[ Despite all his claims to be all powerful and all courageous, Mushu's heart is about as delicate as his noodle body.

Which is to say he shrieks loudly at Clark's sudden appearance from nowhere, drops his phone onto the ground, and clutches his chest as if his heart is going to give out on him any second now. ]


Give a man a little warning, will ya? Some of us got to pay attention to our health, ya know?

[ Anyway.

Now that he's lost ten years off his life, it's time to actually tackle the problem at hand. ]


You mean you can't breathe fire either? [ He's going with that assumption for now. ] Man, what kinda creepy room is this? Next you're gonna tell me we gonna have to crabwalk around each other ten times to turn the lights back on.

why is clark like this

[personal profile] travelsized 2021-11-03 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ ..............................

There is a lot to unpack here. A whole roller coaster of unlocked potential and extreme emotion, most of which plays out on his face: starting with shock, and then spiraling into envy, doubt, and then finally disbelief.

Because really? Really, man? ]


Crabwalk around each other eleven times, huh. [ Yeah, okay, sure. ] I do like pandas though, they're lazy but if you bribe 'em enough, you can make 'em do anything you need 'em to.

[ But anyway. Mushu slaps whatever appendage is closest (Clark's leg??) before moving on. ]

Enough of that though, smart guy. What's the real solution to gettin' outta here?

Don't suppose we gotta make one ourselves, do we?

[ He may not be very wise for his years (and he has many of them) but he's been around the block enough to know that whenever there's some inscrutable puzzle or mysterious riddle to be solved, the answer somehow always involves teamwork.

Or maybe that's just his Disney soul flaring to life. Either way. ]


Bet we gotta do something together though. [ But hmm hmmmmm what? ] Maybe we both gotta hold that torch and walk with it?
