prank #37 | video

[ghostytrainer]

[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.]

[ghostytrainer]

Well you're wrong. You're definitely the best there is.

[He takes a few deep breaths, shifting a little to make himself more comfortable.]

Effectively making me the luckiest guy in the world.

[tentacletrainer]

Well considering who you're engaged to, John.

[ghostytrainer]

[He rolls his head a little to look Rose in the face, quirking an eyebrow and looking slightly confused.]

The...best person in the world?

[You've confused him now, Rose. First you say you're mildly sublime but now you're agreeing with him.]

[tentacletrainer]

No, no, most mildly sublime. But, I am the Seer of Light. Luck is my department.

[ghostytrainer]

Oh! Oh right. That's...right. Haha. Wow now I feel a little stupid.

[So obvious in retrospect...]

[tentacletrainer]

Don't feel stupid, John. There's nothing to feel stupid for.

[ghostytrainer]

Mmm... [He rolls his head back to its original position of staring at Rose's midriff and falling silent once more.]

[tentacletrainer]

[[And she returns to massaging his neck and then moving to his shoulders.]]

[ghostytrainer]

[The more she does it, the more his eyelids begin to droop.]

Mmmm...can we just...sit here like this all night?

[tentacletrainer]

If you want, John, that's what we'll do.

[ghostytrainer]

And you say you're only mildly sublime.

[He chuckles.]

Don't worry, I won't make you sit out here all night.

[tentacletrainer]

Oh, so you'll be taking me back to the bedroom?

[ghostytrainer]

Oh my god. [He gives her thigh a sharp pinch.] Don't say it like that. I will so leave you out here on the couch.

[tentacletrainer]

[[There's a yelp, and then she pulls his ear gently in retaliation.]] And waste away in there without me?

[ghostytrainer]

Hey! [He counter-retaliates with a flick to her stomach.] It will be difficult, you are right. But for the sake of keeping my virtue intact, I must weather the storm.

[tentacletrainer]

[[Was that a snort in the midst of her laughter? It sure was.]] Your virtue?

[ghostytrainer]

Yes. My virtue. How do I know that a wild and dangerous type such as yourself won't just take it away without making an honest lady out of me?

[So help him, Rose, this conversation does not leave this hotel room. Ever.]
