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.))

You're crazy. [[But she's hugging him back.]] Now here, try them on.
extinguishescandles: rose (betcha' didn't see this coming!)

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.)

[[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?)

[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.]]
extinguishescandles: (but a memory on the breeze.)

[Eventually he turns his stare up to her face, expression unreadable. Without warning, he crosses the space between them once more and pulls Rose into a tight hug for the second time that afternoon.]

You do know we're going to have to go visit all of these now, right? Even the ones we've already been to.
