prank #28 video/text; EGGS

[Now that the wong has wound down somewhat, John's starting to come down from his happy high a bit. Not that this really means much since he's pretty happy anyway. Sure he was a little confused to find himself in a room in the Cianwood hotel this morning considering he was in Goldenrod last he remembered. But that's beside the point!]

[The point is, clearly, the small pile of eggs visible on screen behind him, being tended to by a Lopunny in a pink sweater, an Espeon, and an Altaria. John clears his throat. Rose has entrusted him with selling the eggs while she's out taking care of other things and dammit he is not going to screw this up! PROFESSIONALISM IS KEY.]


Good afternoon! My name is John Egbert and as you can see, I have a few eggs here that need homes. I know what you may be thinking: [He puts on a nonsensical voice.] 'but I just got an egg yesterday, John! I really don't need another one!' And that's fine, you are entitled to your own opinon but let me just ask you this. Do you know what's better than one freshly hatched baby pokemon? [A pause and then an excited:] TWO freshly hatched baby pokemon! Or more! Seriously, you can never have too many baby pokemon! Especially when they are something as adorable as an Eevee, Swablu, or Buneary! Which, in my humble opinion is pretty much the most adorable pokemon there is.

Uhm... [He falls silent. Where was he going with this? He kind of got lost in his spiel there.] Oh right! I almost forgot. Egg moves and prices! [He pulls a crumpled piece of paper out of his pocket, unfolding it and reading it. Seems Rose left him a note so that he wouldn't forget...you know. The most important part of selling eggs. Though John seems to take some issue with what's written on the paper, quirking a brow and mumbling to himself for a minute.] Are these really the right prices...? [And then he remembers that this is still filming.]

Oh! Um, I am just going to send this info as a text since it will probably be easier than having me list it off verbally. Why didn't I just do that from the beginning...

[Click! And then a text:]


eevee (p3000)
egg moves: iron tail, sand attack, growl, quick attack, bite, last resort

swablu (p3000)
egg moves: ice beam, agility, dragon rush, safeguard, dragon dance

buneary (p4000)
egg moves: fire punch, thunder punch, rain dance, thunderbolt, iron tail

if you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! :D

So I've heard!

[Yeah he totally saw that.]

I am not actually an ex-convict though. That part was stolen from one of the best movies of all time: Con Air. That being said I think I may have just figured out who our mutual friend is.

[Shhhhhhhhhhhh. Noooooo.]
youngforhisage: (...Got me!)

[personal profile] youngforhisage 2012-02-16 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear! It looks like I wasn't able to prevent it after all. Although... Con Air?

[What's this?! You've never heard of Con Air?!]

[THIS MUST BE REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY.]

[John's eyes light up as he launches into an explanation.]


A cinematic masterpiece about a hardened ex-con with a heart of gold, played by the great Nicholas Cage, who wants nothing more than to reunite with his loving wife and daughter. But of course it can't be that easy! Because John Malkovich has other plans and is onto Cage's heroic, good hearted intentions! So he and his motley crew of rogues cause all sorts of trouble for Cage while they're on the prison transport plane. Eventually they crash into a casino after tying a police man's car to the back of the plane. Cage emerges heroically from the wreckage, hugs his family while "How Do I Live" plays in the background and I usually tear up a little.

It's basically one of the best movie ever along with the second Ghostbusters and Little Monsters.

[No. It's not. It's actually Pretty Bad.]
youngforhisage: (Er... yes?)

[...Wow. That was... uh.]

You must enjoy it a lot.

[Yeah pretty much.]

Yes, I do. Which is why I am fairly certain that the person who told you this was Rose. Because she knows how much I love it and also she's the only one who would remember the hardened ex-con with a heart of gold thing.

[Jade sometimes forgets the details. And while Vriska knows of his love for Con Air, she doesn't know about his pranking prowess. So the answer can only be Rose. Look, John logic that actually makes sense for once.]

...You've got it. That was some good deduction there!

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-02-16 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe, well it helps that I really only have three close female friends. Makes it a lot easier.
youngforhisage: (You'd be good with kids!)

[personal profile] youngforhisage 2012-02-16 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose that would make it easier, yes. Are they friends from your world, or...?
extinguishescandles: kids (these are my best friends!)

[Video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-02-16 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, they are! Rose and Jade have been friends of mine for a long time. Vriska not as long, but we are still very close. So how do you know Rose then?
youngforhisage: (A rose for the little lady.)

[personal profile] youngforhisage 2012-02-16 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
She was one of the first people I spoke with here. We've kept in touch since.
extinguishescandles: (whoops! my bad.)

[Video]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-02-16 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I see! That's good to hear. So how long have you been here then...err. [A beat.] I just realized that I didn't get your name even though you know mine. Oops!
youngforhisage: (...Got me!)

[personal profile] youngforhisage 2012-02-16 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-- that would be my mistake. My name is Asuma. It is good to finally meet you, John.
extinguishescandles: (this is how they smile in my animes!)

It's nice to meet you too, Asuma.

And to answer your question from before-- I came here at the beginning of June, so it's been about nine months!

[He chuckles.] Time flies doesn't it?

Truly it does. And yet, it feels like hardly any time has passed at all.

Time is weird like that. But that's okay, I wouldn't mind staying here forever so I am certainly not complaining.
