prank #37 | video
[When John clicks on the feed today, he's accompanied by not one, but two Lopunnies. The One of them (Casey, judging by the pink sweater) is half-cradling the other and stroking its head, occasionally making shhh'ing noises. A Shinx lays next to them, and in John's lap rests the head of the saddest looking shiny Gallade you'll ever see. John himself looks exhausted, though moreso in the emotional sense than the sense of needing to take a nap.]
[He stares at the screen blankly for a good minute before finally speaking, in a voice that sounds as dull and tired as he looks.]
Vriska Serket has gone back home. If any of her Pokemon found their way to you, please let me know. I want to make sure they're all accounted for. And if they did just...promise me that you will take good care of them.
[He falls silent again, looking as though there's more he wants to say. In the end, he can't figure out what to say and ends up tightening his grip on the (what appears to be) a piece of twine clenched in his right hand.]
That's all.
[Click.]

Just let it out, John. I'm not going to look down on you for fucking crying of all things.
private
I can't do that.

private
[Because he's got it in his head that Vriska would be disappointed in him.]
Especially now that you asked, I mean who can just cry on command? Not me, that's for sure! Nope!

Might be cathartic, though.
private
Yeah well...maybe. But I really can't do it now that you've said something and we've had this dumb conversation about it. It's like when you're trying to pee but someone's watching you so suddenly you can't do it. My eyes can't pee right now.
[A very awkward pause as John realizes what the hell he actually just said.]
Wow! That was a really awful metaphor wasn't it? [He laughs.] Oh my god. Why did I think it would be a good idea to say that?
private
Shut up.
private
[WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIIIIIMMMMM????]
private
private
[Nothing. That's what he was thinking. And therein lies the problem.]
private
private
[Yeah, he's not going to be able to cry now. All he'll be able to think of is this conversation.]
private
Question is... Do you feel any better?
private
[He's smiling a little, at least.]
private
[ but it's said with a SLIGHT grin. ]
