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.))
breedslilacs: (It's simply a matter of time right?)

[[It did, but Rose isn't going to mention it.]]

Is there? And what would that be?
extinguishescandles: (doop doop what's that over there?)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Mmmhmm. [He nods, nonchalantly kind of half sauntering across the room towards Rose.] Just the one thing but it's pretty important! I can't believe I almost forgot it.
breedslilacs: (Why don't we play a game?)

Action;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-04 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty important? Well then it's good you remembered!
extinguishescandles: (doop doop what's that over there?)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, a very good thing.

[He stops in front of Rose.]
breedslilacs: (Is that so? Interesting.)

Action;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-04 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
And?

[[She stands tall, waiting for him to move.]]
extinguishescandles: rose (betcha' didn't see this coming!)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaaand...well I guess I had better do it before I go eat the Russian Roulette sandwich. [He wraps his arms around Rose, giving her a quick squeeze and peck on the cheek.]

I still love you even though you are about to potentially poison me with a Weedle sandwich cleverly disguised as delicious roast beef. Eventually one day you will catch up to me in the afterlife as an old lady and I will still be the smoking hot young thing that I am right now and then won't you be sorry. But it's okay. Because I will still love you even though you're all wrinkly.

[Dear god, Rose, please change the subject before he gets anymore ridiculous and nonsensical.]
breedslilacs: (/wink)

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-04 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[[With a laugh, she does just the opposite.]]

Maybe that was the plan. Perhaps I wish to preserve my studmuffin so that in the dream bubbles, you'll still be just as irresistible?
extinguishescandles: (you are talking to the pranking MASTER.)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-04 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh was that all? Well I guess I can't blame you for that. Though, you know, you really don't have to go to such drastic lengths just yet. I assure you that I will still be as studly of a muffin for a while now. Perhaps even studlier in the near future!

[He's never going to hear the end of Studmuffin is he?]

[[He's not.]]

Well then, maybe you shouldn't eat that sandwich. Save it for later.
extinguishescandles: (i'm listening‚ what's up?)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-06 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Or you can just make it easy for me and tell me if you poisoned it or not. Because I am pretty hungry. And I don't thinkg fruit snacks and carrots are going to cut it, to be honest.

[Speaking of, did he see carrot sticks in there? Sure did. Those are going straight into his mouth.]
breedslilacs: (Is it really so bad?)

Action;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-06 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not. [[Patting his shoulder she moves to her bags, rummaging through them.]] I found a pair of shorts for you. I think you'll like them. [[Dark purple with a haunter decal in the bottom right corner of the right pant sleeve.]]
extinguishescandles: (oh really? while wearing galoshes?)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-07 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay!

[It's sandwich time!]

Oh, did you? Well that was very nice of you. I probably need some new shorts anyway since it's summertime again.
breedslilacs: (I will admit there was humor in that.)

Action;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-07 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
My thoughts exactly. [[It's not until a small pocket book is slipped into one of the cargo pockets that she pulls them out to show him.]]

Here. What do you think?
extinguishescandles: (it's so...beautiful.)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-08 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[In his excitement, John nearly chokes on his mouthful of sandwich. He really should have looked first and then taken a bite, not the opposite. Luckily, he manages to just swallow and not choke and die.]

Well for starters, I think you're the best!
breedslilacs: (I'm absolutely flattered.)

Action;

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-08 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
The best? Surely not. [[Pls to not be choking...]]
extinguishescandles: rose (those are smiles! observe... :D)

Action;

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-08 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
No, surely the best! [He puts down his sandwich and stands up, crossing the room to give Rose a hug.] Yup. Definitely the best.
tentacletrainer: (2)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2012-07-09 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
You're crazy. [[But she's hugging him back.]] Now here, try them on.
extinguishescandles: rose (betcha' didn't see this coming!)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-09 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Pshh, no crazier than you for dating a crazy man! [Pecking her on the cheek, he takes the shorts away from her and moves towards the bathroom to go try them on.]

Be right back!

[Is it just him or are these pants a little weighed down?]
breedslilacs: (I believe I have a right to be smug.)

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-09 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[[It's not just you, but while you do that she's going to sit on the couch and wait.]]
extinguishescandles: (could you repeat that?)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-10 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't take him long to change, and soon enough, he's exiting the bathroom. By now, he's absolutely certain that these shorts are heavier than they should be and now that they're on, he's determined that it's due to something in one of the pockets. As he closes the bathroom door behind him, he makes to pull whatever it is out of the pocket.]

Hey, Rose? Did you put something in one of the pockets and forget about it or something?
breedslilacs: (Oh swoon!)

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-10 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Did I? I don't remember doing something like that! What is it?
extinguishescandles: (could you repeat that?)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well then was there something in there when you got them? I don't know it kind of feels like...a really tiny book? Maybe? Or a thin box?

[Dammit it should not be this hard to pull something out of his pocket.]
breedslilacs: (How many jokes do you have?)

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-11 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm certain those pockets were empty upon purchase. [[Though it was in her bags upon purchase. She saw the Pocket Guide to Haunted Places in Our World and knew it was something John not only would want, but obviously needed. And yeah she could have just gave it to him but this was so much more fun.]]

extinguishescandles: (welp.)

[personal profile] extinguishescandles 2012-07-11 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well then what in the h-- [He stops short as he finally manages to extricate the item. For a while, he says nothing and just stares at the cover.]
breedslilacs: (Are you serious?)

[personal profile] breedslilacs 2012-07-11 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[[And she remains quiet, watching him with a smile.]]
