ghostytrainer | prank #44

[Hello Pokémon World. It's almost 3 in the morning and who all is still awake at this hour? Aside from John, who hasn't slept (save for occasionally nodding off for a few hours here and there) in nearly five days now. But unlike the past three nights, apparently tonight he's feeling kind of chatty.]

[Too bad he doesn't really have anything worthwhile to say...]

ok so i know there's a shit ton of stuff here that doesn't make a lot of sense.
you know like... how everything lays eggs, even the mammals?
and ghosts? ill nrver get that one at all, even if i pride myself as somethign of an ectobreeder.
and don't even get me started on fly just...
that's dumb.
SO DUMB.
but w/e, do you ever just like...sit there adn really think about some of this stuff?

like zubat.

what is even the deal with those fuckers?
they don't have any eyes. but for SOMW REASON they learn mean look.
how can they give ANYTHING a LOOK, MEAN OR OTHERWISE????
it's like how wooper can learn ice punch.
WIHT WHAT ARMS, I ASK YOU??? i am like 1000% sure you need arsm in order to punch someting.

maybe even over 9000% sure of that.
it is not possible to be more postibve of anything than i am right now about needing arms for punching.

no ok i lied we're gointo talk about the flying thing.
like how does that even work you get the hm and you use it on your bird or dragon or whatever is it just like
OH SHIT SON.
IT'S THAT THING I ALREADY KNWE HOW TO DO.
THE THING I DO BASICALLY EVERY DAY BECAUSE I'M A BIRD AND THAT'S HOW I GET AROUND.
BUT NOW I CAN *CARRY YOU*. YOU AND *ALL OF YOUR CRAP*.
what an astounding revelation your pokemon must be having.
okay, all you lucky ducks out there who can read your pokemon's minds or whatever i gotta know.
what's going through your bird/dragon/giant automaton ghost's mind when you crack the fly hm over their heads.
someone get back tome on that.

goddamn i wish i was a poketelepath.
like that would just be the coolest fucking thing. be able to talk to them in your mind and stuff.
crzy mind conversations all day, everyday. with ALL of your pokermon, not just the psychic types.
so.
cool.
only vaguely related, but i miss being able to fly on my own.
i liked it better when i didn't knoe i had powers so i had no idea what i was missing out on. :(
now it's just like "man, john, remember when you had super strength and could do the windy thing and it was basically awesoem? NOT ANYMORE, BUDDY, SORRY."
oh well, i guess.
that's the way the cookie crumbles!

speaking of cookirs, i wonder if it's possible to make literal pancakes.
like using cake batter insread of pancake batter.
but making it ina frying pan on the stove instead of in the oven.
holy shit.
i think i know what i'm goign to do once i'm done watching ghost eraser 3.
dave. dave if you're reading this you should totally come over to my room and help.
we'll do it for scinese.
wait no.

fuck science.
i forgot that science blows and is basically completyl inferior to magic in every way.
let's make kitchen magic, dude. it'll be great.
jade, you can come too even thouhg you think sciende is cool. i won't hold it against you.
even if you're still totally WRONG about that particular issue.

oh but rewind for a sec, let's talk about ghost eraser.
these are actually pretty okay as far as johto moives go. not as good as ghostbusters, sure, but not terirble either.
it's much less of a dissapontment than con dragonair, which is not even close to ebing the same thing as con air which is BASICALLY THE BEST MOVIE EVER, just saying.
i mean they fight a haunted janitor in the first one, pretty damn sweet. in ghost eraser, i mean. not con dragonair, we're not talking about that disappointment anymore.
nope nope.
but it's pretty much impoddible to be a better ghost hunter mobie than ghostbusters.
i m p o s s i b l e

holy shit when did it get to be 3am?
doing the time warp over here or something because i swaer it wasn't that late last i looked at the clock.
ahahahahahahahahahaha.
fuck.

[TO be honest, it was more than John was expecting too. Were he more rested, this conversation wouldn't be happening. Not with Jade, not with Dave, not with anybody. Like everything else that bothers him, John was just going to let this fester (and possibly blow up about it a year later, we just can't be sure). But with actual nightmares as opposed to dream bubble memories keeping him up, his plan backfired.]

I know I need to be patient and I'm really trying to! Because it's Rose and I love her and I don't want to potentially drive her away any more than I possibly already have. But it's hard, Jade. It's hard being in the dark about something like this and it's driving me crazy.

[Patience has never been John's strong suit. Jade probably knows this better than anybody at this point.]

But to answer your question I am in my room.

Okay.

I will be right there.

[Click! What's that sound, John?

FOOTSTEPS? COMING ON UP TO YOUR DOOR?

Knock knock, John, it's your sister.]

[John jumps and scrambles out of bed, turning off his movie as he stumbles towards the door to let Jade in. He probably should have taken the extra ten seconds or so to stop and pull on a pair of pants but in this state, he hadn't even really thought about it. So he answers the door clad in only his black Haunter shirt and a pair of light-blue, cloud-print Drifloon boxers. He's a bit of a mess, his hair tousled even moreso than normal and his eyes shadowed with what can only be days worth of skipped sleep. And overall, he just looks exhausted, despite his protests to the contrary. Thank god he wasn't so far gone that he stopped showering, even if he hasn't left his room.]

[He looks at Jade for a minute, wordlessly, before moving forward to catch her in a tight hug, burying his face in her shoulder. Is it obvious that he's been craving human physical contact for a while now? Because he has.]

[She holds him as steadily as she can--though, with John's return, he has gotten taller and a little heavier--and sighs.]

It'll be okay, John. It will be okay.

[Jade can't necessarily promise this, but her intuition will always tell her that good things are coming to those who wait patiently for them.]

I know, I keep telling myself that but... it's really hard, Jade! Waiting and not being able to do anything is really hard and I hate it!! I feel useless.

[He pulls back, but keeps his hands on Jade's upper arms. As though she's some kind of weird, fleshy, slightly shorter support beam.]

I can't do anything to help her other than sit here and be patient and not bother her about it until she gets everything figured out, whatever "everything" even is. And what good is any of that? That's basically the same as doing nothing.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to her at all, or tell her how you feel! Just preface it with saying that you understand she needs time to herself to figure things out...

Doing nothing implies that you don't care, and that's not true at all.

[He pulls his hands away and straightens up fully, scratching his nose and kind of glancing to the side for a moment.]

Yeah... I guess I'll just... wait then. [He looks back over to Jade.] I don't want to but if she keeps ignoring my texts then I don't see the point. I'll just have to wait for her to contact me.

[Which she will, later. And everything will actually work out 0k.]

[She tweaks his nose, then tightens her hug on him.]

Shhhh, it'll all be okay, I promise!

[He giggles.]

Hey, what was that for? [He pinches her arm, unable to keep from smiling a little bit.]

Duhhh, because of your stupid frowning face, stupid! [Totes mature.]

How rude! My face isn't stupid, that's so you!

[He pulls back from the hug so that he can reach up to tweak her ears. Only... yeah, her dog ears aren't there anymore are they? Oops, still gotta get used to that. Okay, he'll just pull on her dumb, stupid cheeks instead.]

[Super mature.]
