prank #38 | video/action for goldenrod
A: Video/Action for Goldenrod Hospital
[The Rotom’s face that appears when the feed flicks on isn’t so much IN the screen as it just plain IS the screen. Seems the little booger thought it would be funny to possess a Pokegear. The ghost laughs, sending a jumbled string of letters, 1s, and 0s across the screen because apparently the thing couldn't decide if it was speaking English or binary. A moment later, the face blips off the screen and turns to a view of a hospital room.]
[On the bed sits John, glasses-less and looking only half awake (at best) and more out of it than usual. But what’s really strange is the fact that instead of wearing a hospital gown or even one of his silly Pokemon shirts, he’s wearing this little number, complete with white tights and a matching hair bow stuck in his messier-than-usual hair. In a chair next to the bed sits Rose, wearing what is quite possibly the biggest shit-eating grin in the universe. Despite this, she somehow manages to keep her voice completely level and normal.]
Good morning, sweetheart. I see you are finally awake. How are you feeling, beautiful?
[John gives a sleepy grunt and rubs at his eyes.] Mmm...like death warmed over? Holy shit, I'm hungry...
Well, luckily for you the nurses want you to eat before we go anywhere, though that doesn't mean I can’t take you out later if you'd like, darling.
I would like that, yeah. But before anything, I need my glasses and also my legs feel weir-- are these tights? [Still mostly blind, his hands trail up his own legs, eventually reaching the edge of the dress, at which his expression deadpans and his voice goes flat.] I am wearing an absolutely ridiculous frilly dress right now, aren't I?
And if you are? [Where before her voice was pretty even, she can’t keep the hint of mischief and amusement from it now.]
You're broadcasting this, aren't you?
And if I am?
[At that, John turns to where he thinks Rose, and therefore the camera, is (really, he’s a little off, but the CameRotom moves a little to adjust for this error). Using both hands, he forms identical "v-for-victory" signs to frame his face, pulling the biggest, dorkiest, most painfully cheesy grin he can muster. He is pretty much straight from the mangas right now and his Prankster’s Gambit is plummeting.]
[...yet somehow, it seems impossible to read anything other than murderous intent from John right now.]
[The Rotom cackles and the feed ends for now. Though Tron's work is far from done here, he still has a few tricks up his non-existent sleeves.]
B: Action for Goldenrod City
[Much later in the afternoon, John and Rose can be found around Goldenrod. John’s still wearing the dress though now the ensemble is truly complete thanks to Rose’s makeup job. Rose herself has changed to "match" and is now sporting some swanky duds of her own (complete with thick black tights because damn it’s cold).Though John is clearly none too happy about this arrangement, he’s attempting to hold onto as much of his dignity as he can. He’s barely even scowling half the time!]
[First on their list is, predictably, to get John something to eat beyond hospital food. And Rose knows just the place for this: a cutesy, adorable little Pokemon-themed cafe. After that, they can be found wandering the city itself, inside the Department Store, or even in the Game Corner. Apparently, Rose intends to milk this punishment-prank for all it’s worth.]
((ooc: John's back from hiatus coma-land, responses may come from both.))

[oh. oh John's wearing a dress, now. He was going to say "omg you're up and okay!!!" but that's being derailed completely.]
Erm, what are you wearing?
perma video
The prettiest fucking Japanese anime princess dress you ever did see. There is none more kawaii than me right now. [He holds up his hands in front of his face, still deadpan, revealing that Rose also took the liberty of painting his nails for him.] I am a total warrior of justice by night or some shit.
no subject
...
[He snerks. John's face is what's really funny about this.]
Being a Sailor Scout wouldn't be so bad!
no subject
I am nowhere near sexy enough to be a Sailor Scout, it's a fact that I accepted long ago.
Hi Jake.
[Subject change?]
no subject
Hullo, John. I'm going to use my "get out of comment free" card, if you don't mind.
[Because yeah.]
Anyway, how are you doing? You've been out for a month and I've been pretty worried about you!
one day my action brackets will be contain serious, thoughtful commentary
I do not mind in the slightest. I am starving, disoriented, and I kind of feel like I have to puke. Also I am wearing a dress and I have an IV stuck in my arm and this stupid thing is stuck on video because my Rotom is a jackass.
[And now said Rotom is drawing on the inside of the screen in bright blue. John now has an evil villain 'stache that he can't actually see since it's on the screen and not him. Jake and anyone else who decides to snoop in on this feed totally can though. Aren't ghosts great?]
So pretty fantastic.
No such thing.
...And you have a very handsome, bright blue villain mustache.
[He's trying, John. He's trying so hard to not lose it and laugh himself sick.]
That's probably because you're dehydrated. You should probably take it easy for a bit before going anywhere outside of Goldenrod.
you caught me, that was a bold lie.
I-- what? I have a what? [He goes cross-eyed for a moment, thinking that Rose drew on his face or something.]
I know you too well at this point.
Hold on a minute, John.
[Please hold while listening to the Final Jeopardy Song! Yes, Jake literally takes a minute to get the giggles/laughter out of his system before coming back to their conversation.]
Sorry about that, but your 'gear added a monocle. Apparently, you make a great villain in whatever ghost that's possessing its eyes!
no subject
[He shakes the 'gear, right as the Rotom was in the middle of drawing a top hat at a jaunty angle on John's head. As a result, he now ends up with a jagged, zig-zagging line across the screen. There's a disgruntled 'bzzaap!' sort of noise from the ghost, whose angry face shows up very briefly on the screen for both John and Jake to see.]
[When it disappears, the screen is clean once more.]
I swear to god...sometimes I wonder who they like more, me or Rose.
no subject
[He grins at John.]
I'm pretty sure they like you both equally. Rose is a charming young lady, and you obviously have a lot of fun and care to go around!
no subject
[There's a digital-sounding laugh from the gear.]
Let this be a warning to you, my friend. This is what happens when you get into a relationship.
[YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, JAKE......]
