[Thinking along similar lines, apparently, Brook walks over to the dorm room window. It's boarded up, or at least appears to be, to add to the room's abandoned church theme. Brook doesn't even need to manifest his demon energy to rip the false boards off; they're light, and stuck to the wall with nothing more than tacky poster putty. He sighs as he tosses them onto the floor.]
Fake and hokey.
[The window, however, proves far more stubborn. While the open/locked latches move easily enough, no amount of pulling or shoving or frustrated growling budges the window itself. Eventually he stops and balls his fists at his sides.]
Keep back.
[With just that as warning, magenta-tinged jet black energy bursts out of Brook's body, like a spark catching on flammable gas and roaring to a sudden flame. The darkness towers over him in the shape of a rabbit. Apparently, though, it's just for show. That same black energy wraps around Brook's white-gloved hand as he pulls back and then strikes at the window for all he's worth. The force of it certainly seems like it should shatter the glass, if not take out the surrounding wall.
But this is the City, and nothing happens. He punches the window a few more times, just to be sure, and then releases his demon with a loud noise of vexation. It vanishes, dissipating like smoke in a breeze.]
This is so annoying. We're not allowed to take shortcuts, huh?
