prank #17 | FOURTH WALL EVENT | video/action for goldenrod

[ghostytrainer]

["John" doesn't seem to notice the fact that he's turned the camera on, despite the fact that he's staring right at it. Strange. Apparently he also thought that hair clips are an awesome fashion statement and that he needed to grow his hair out just the tiniest bit. Stranger still.]

--ure you don’t need help finding the games? Really, it will only take me a second.

[But not the strangest thing yet, as apparently he can now talk without moving his lips. And also make it sound like he's sitting a few feet aw--wait a minute.]

No, I am fine, John. You should quit changing the topic.

[Well alright then. It's pretty clear that the person on the screen is not John Egbert, despite the overwhelming similarities.]

I wasn't changing the subject! You just looked like you were having trouble and I thought I could help. But look, Joan! I am getting right back on topic now and answering your question. And the answer is "yes, I do like her." [He pauses.] I just...don't know what to do about it.

[At this point, the girl (her name is Joan, apparently) puts the pokegear down on the ground. This talk is far too serious to have while looking for games. So have a lovely view of the sky, Johto. Also some grass and the face of a curious Vulpix peering down at the device from her place in Joan's lap.]

Hm...that is a problem, but that is why I am here. Do you think she likes you back?

I...don't know honestly. I don't see why she would but then again she has been spending a lot of time with me over the past few months. Though that could just be because we are friends.

Maybe the way she spends time with you means she does like you back! No, scratch that, she DOES like you back. Lalondes are pretty reclusive. They have to really like you to let you in their snooty club, obviously.

Do you really think so? [His voice brightens considerably. At least until...] So what...do I do about that?

Yes! Hm... You need to spend all of your money and take her on the best date ever.

Oh I don't... I mean. Hey let's talk about something else? Tell me more about the giant space station...what was it again? Sacrosont? Sascorant? Or your universe! Tell me again about what a pretty girl Dave is, I think I still have a few more laughs in me for that.

No! God, John, look at me. Do you want her to be your girlfriend or not?

I...oh shit. Joan what did you press? [John's face appears on the screen for a second, slightly paler than normal, before the feed clicks off.]


((OOC: Singularity's Joan will be joining me for this post, so you may be tagged by her or John or possibly both! So if you get a tag from ghostythespian , don't be surprised! ♥))

[ Jade laughs. She knows Joan! ]

Joan! You're here too? And don't tell John to spend all his money!

[video]

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

Hi, Jade! Yeah!

Why not? He obviously needs to woo his love interest.

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Wait, Jade? How do you know Joan?

[What do you mean there are potentially multiple Jades?]

[video]

[tortileghostwriter]

[Now just what the hell is going on in here. Hi Egberts, meet David Lalonde.]

My, my. What have we here?

[video]

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

Hey, David. Where did your tentacles go?

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

...Dave?

[Something seems different. :|a]

[Video.]

[hopediesalone]

Good to see you're safe, kid.

[There's a Magmortar behind him.]

[Video.]

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

Proto, hi! Are you going to be a pokemon master too?

[Action]

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

...Oh my god, I am so sorry. [She's covering her mouth in susprise and staring at the communicator as if it has FAULTED HER.]

[Action]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

It's fine, there was no way you could have known. I just...hope it wasn't on for too long.


...or that Rose saw it. [Because that would just be the WORST.]

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

[Hello you two. Have a third Egbert (and what looks to be a Tentacruel) just...kind of peering at you.

She's a little confused.

After all, why are you dressed like that, John? And who do you want as a girlfriend? And what about Lalondes? Do you have a sister? Is she going to ask any of that? Nope.]

Does spending all your money on someone really work?

Video;

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

[She leans in, as if to tell her a secret.]

Yes.

[tortileghostwriter]

[...oh hey it's Rose as she should be. TIME TO PESTER.

unfortunately, if he'd stopped to take a look past the fact it's definitely a Rose with blue clothes, he might have realized that it's closer to the mark but still not his Egbert.]

Rose? At last, someone else who is in their proper position. Have you seen John about? No doubt he's brought the devilbeast.

[grimseer.livejournal.com]

[Is that really how you charm a lady, Joan? Is that how you would want to be charmed? This fellow disagrees.]

Do not encourage him to expend the paltry sum he has on one date. It would likely end up on the tacky and tasteless end. Especially if Lalondes are involved.

[He would know. :|]

1/3

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

[is that who she thinks it is]

2/3

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

[OH MY FUCKING GOD SHE HASN'T TALKED TO YOU IN MONTHS AND THIS IS HOW YOU START UP A CONVERSATION SFJAKLFJSKL

ok deep breath ok]

3/3 - done i'm sorry

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's serenading him, it, HER, whatever.

Hey... are you my Ross?

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Tacky? Tasteless?

[So little faith in him, Ross. That hurts. Those words are like knives.]

[tortileghostwriter]

By the gods, it's like looking into a mirror.

[video]

[soulcool.livejournal.com]

[snerk. John, you are being dumb and uncool.]

Dude, if you like her, just tell her.
Rose is cool, she'll understand. That's what I did for Jade, you know?

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

You just...told her? Just walked up to her. And told her? Just like that? And it worked?

[You are a brave soul, Soul. :'|]

[video]

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

...That sounds so cheap, though.

[teenysuke.livejournal.com]

[There is a teeny little lost boy, standing nearby. He wants to ask for help, but he doesn't want to interrupt this conversation he doesn't understand.]

action;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[It takes John a minute or two to notice the boy. This is a very important conversation after all! Even though he really doesn't want to talk about it...]

Oh. [Catching sight of him, he turns to face the child.] Hey, what's wrong? Are you-- [Hold on...he looks familiar...] Wait...Yosuke? Is that you?

[video]

[eclectical]

[Aaaaand here is the Jade you know, John! She's... a little perplexed by what she is seeing, but in the big scheme of things, she guesses it's not really that strange.]

I think she is right, John! If Rose has been spending a lot of time with you, it must mean she likes you! And I'm sure you two would make a really cute couple!

[This next part is directed at Joan!]

I can't say I was ever expecting to see a girl version of John! So... does that mean I am a boy in your universe?

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[...crap. It really was on long enough to record the part that he didn't want recorded. Well at least Dave or Rose hasn't seen it. And hopefully it'll stay that way.]

Wow this is weird. Three Jades...hehe. But, you don't think that's just because we are friends? It's not like we have done anything remotely resembling a date or anything...

[video]

[used-aerial-ace.livejournal.com]

[Aang totally wants the answer to that question, too.]

Hey, John. Is that your sister?

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Oh hi Aang! Um, no actually Joan is...me. As weird as that sounds, she's apparently a female me from another universe.

[Yeah he was a little weirded out at first.]
