prank #30 | video+text; GHOST EGGS

[It's kind of hard to miss the three very large ghosts, a Dusknoir and both varieties of Jellicent, floating behind John when he turns on the feed today. Though they are hardly the only ghosts in the room. A Froslass floats lazily around the room, occasionally sending a stream of snow at the Dusknoir or the Spiritomb that sits on the floor. Both of the ghosts in question are doing their best to ignore this, though the Dusknoir Seems to be doing a better job of it. On John's shoulder sits a tiny Litwick.]

So if it's been over a year since an ectobiologist actually did something involving ghosts and biology, can he still call himself an ectobiologist? [There is a very slight pause.] No! Of course he can't, duh!

[John pans the camera over to the bed where there is a small pile of eggs wrapped in knitted blankets of varying colors. A Golett sits next to the eggs, eying them curiously. There are probably somewhere around twenty eggs or so, of several different varities:]



So, as you can see, I did something to fix that! [The camera pans back to John.] Now as much as I would like to, I obviously can't keep all these eggs myself. Pretty sure that would max out my PC storage. So I am sell--

[He cuts off as the rock-looking egg with the swirl on the front is shoved in front of the camera. It is followed shortly by the Golett's face. It nods excitedly, looking about as happy as is possible for an animated rock-ghost and points to the egg.]

Giant...

[The Gollet just keeps pointing, spinning the egg around so that it's visible from all angles. Oooo! Aaaaa! you are impressed and you want to buy this egg. But as impressed as you are, the same cannot be said for John who is now trying to push the Golett out of frame with little sucess.]

Giant, come on stop. You aren't helping! Just kind of inturrupting hones-- no Chandel, not you too!

[There's a happy almost squeak-like noise from the Litwick as she flies over to the bed to try and "help" too, john following after her. Though the eggs are much too big for her nubby little arms. It's a shame this part can't actually be seen on film, it's actually quite cute. Before this situation can get any more out of hand, the Dusknoir moves over to the camera, easily moves the Golett out of the way, picks up the camera, and ends the feed. A few moments later, a text is sent out.]

sorry about that.
anyway. eggs, selling them.
i am happy to answer any questions about the parents, eggs, and/or ghost types in general.
here's prices and junk:


[And then there's a list of species, quantity, and egg moves.]

((ooc: Claim post is the aforelinked link. I just didn't feel like posting that list up a second time. There is still a small chunk of unclaimed eggs, so have at 'em if you want 'em.))

Ummmm...

[That is a very good question, Rose. One that takes more thought than it should. Especially considering his answer is just:]

Surprise me?

Eww what? Rose that's gross!

[It's not often John calls food gross. But jeez, there are just some things that you DON'T eat.]
breedslilacs: (Oh how amusing.)

So did the magic finally wear off then? You're finally bored of me? Not even going to hide the fact that you're going to poison my food? Very nice, sweetheart, love you too.

[He's trying very hard to keep a straight face as he says this but the corners of his mouth are twitching despite these attempts.]
breedslilacs: (I will admit there was humor in that.)

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-06-29 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
That's right. I won't even hide the fact that I'm bored. I should go speak with Karkat, see what kind of date he can set me up next.
extinguishescandles: jade (derse sux! prospit 4 lyfe!)

Video; i apologize for nothing

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-06-29 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Gosh, you know you could do that without poisoning me! All you have to say is [He puts on his best impression of Rose's voice which actually sounds nothing like her at all because it's a ridiculous falsetto.] "We're through John, I can no longer deal with your lame jokes, and awful pranks that are actually really awesome but I'm Rose Lalonde and I can't admit that because it will ruin my reputation as the ultimate spookygoth. Anyway, Karkat set me up with Beefcake McHotpants and I really think this will work out better for everyone involved."

[He drops the falsetto and puts on a tone of someone who is clearly devastated but is trying to be strong through the pain. This. Is. Stupid!!!!!!]

It's okay, really, It'll hurt for a while, but I will survive. [He wipes away a single, manly tear that's not actually there.]
breedslilacs: (Oh swoon!)

Beefcake McHotpants? [[Rose raises a brow at that, smirking.]]

You mean there is another man alive other than you that goes by that name?
extinguishescandles: (eyerooooooll.)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Pffft, Rose please. We both know I prefer Studmuffin Von Steelbuns.

[GOD ROSE, GET IT RIGHT.]

[[That smirk grows into a wicked grin.]]

Steelbuns? I think that's an invitation.
extinguishescandles: (oh really? while wearing galoshes?)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[...oops. Dammit he should know better than to play this game against Rose.]

[Or against anybody, really.]

[He can't give up now though, it's a little too late for backing out of this ridiculous game of...whatever the hell this is. Sexy chicken?]


Really? Does that mean you are RSVP'ing?
breedslilacs: (I just enjoy seeing you smile.)

Video;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-02 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
[[Good boy! That's right, don't back down!]]

Absolutely. And I should be there right on time.

[[Meaning in about fifteen minutes.]]
extinguishescandles: (hey baby what's your sign?)

Video;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He won't win, but dammit he is not going down without a fight!]

Well then I don't have much time left to go slip into something more comfortable, do I?

[...okay, he definitely kind of blurted that one out instead of stopping to think of a better response.]

[And no, he's not actually going to go change. Sorry Rose, but he's quite fond of his Haunter shirt. It glows in the dark! Nothing beats that!]

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. Well is that a problem? Because we can just have a tea party instead.

Though I will have to change for that too.

Because you know, I just have to have my lace gloves and and matching frilly bonnet and pinafore in order for it to be a proper tea party.
Edited 2012-07-02 04:08 (UTC)
breedslilacs: (And just what do we have here?)

Video;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-02 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[[John. She loves you.]]

Oh no, what you had planned before is just fine, though if you'd still like to fetch your pinafore I won't complain.
extinguishescandles: (ahurpa durpa.)

Video;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-02 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
[It's because of the frilly bonnet, isn't it? Chicks dig a guy who's down with wearing a frilly bonnet. Especially if it matches.]

[Though dammit, Rose, why did you switch the subject back around. He thought he had you there.]


Well we will see. Just don't be jealous if I put it on and pull the look off better than you, alright? There's really nothing I can do about that.
breedslilacs: (I'm absolutely flattered.)

Video;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-03 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Because steelbuns are involved, and she's not letting you get off the hook for saying that that easily.]]

I wouldn't dream of it. Now, I'm going to order your lunch and head out, okay? I'll see you soon.
extinguishescandles: (my heart go 'splode!)

Video;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, see you in a bit then. Love you!

[And if Rose has nothing else to say, he'll end the feed there.]

[And then just...sit there and wait. And not change because that was still totally a joke.]
breedslilacs: (If I were to be honest...)

[[Hope you're up for a whole grain, roast beef and cheddar sub John. All your veggies are included. Plus a soda and a box of fruit snacks. She may not say it very much, but she loves you too John. She's just better at showing it.

Fifteen minutes time she's back at their hotel, shopping bags in hand plus the food bag and Guille is getting the door. Telekinisis. Best skill ever.]]


John, would you mind helping me with a few of these bags?
extinguishescandles: (boggling vacantly at these shananigans.)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh yeah sure hol--

[Before John can finish his sentence, Giant shoots across the room and stops in front of Rose with his arms outstretched. Let him help let him heeeelllpppp!]

..d... on. Or not.

[Thanks, Giant. :|]
breedslilacs: (Are you sure that's the answer?)

Action;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-04 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[[Chuckling, she gives him a few bags that don't have anything fragile in it.]] Thank you, Giant. You're so sweet.

[[But hey, that's okay John. This means she can give you your lunch instead of clothes.]] Here you go. I hope that's okay.
extinguishescandles: (you are talking to the pranking MASTER.)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[If he actually had a mouth, he'd be beaming right now. Instead his eyes are just kind of glowing brightly and he's hopping up and down because oh boy he gets to help again. Today is a good day. Though...where is he supposed to put these bags?]

[While Giant struggles with that dilemma, John takes the bag and peeks inside. Are those....are those fruit snacks?! And a delicious sammich? Yes]


Hehe, so no Weedle special then? You decided to keep me around a little while longer?
breedslilacs: (That's...kind of you to say.)

Action;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-04 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Who said the Weedle isn't in the sandwich?

[[Turning back to Giant, she pats his head and points to the couch. Right there is good!]]
