prank #45 | video + action for rose (BACKDATED TO THIS MORNING)
action for rose:
[John has seen a lot of strange things in his life, and while what he's looking at this very second hardly takes the cake, it's definitely unexpected. And kind of weird.]
[But before making a Federal Fucking Issue about it, he figures he should probably check the facts.]
...hey sweetheart? You didn't happen to catch an Omanyte at some point, did you?
---
video:
[The feed opens up to a view of... a toilet. But it's not the toilet that's interesting, but rather the Omanyte swimming in very tiny circles inside the bowl. Despite the rather confined space, the little thing seems to be happy as a clamperl, occasionally looking up at the camera and waving its tentacles with a happy sort of gurgle.]
[Eventually John's voice can be heard from behind the camera.]
I felt like this kind of qualifies as a "pics or it didn't happen" moment. Like... okay how often is it that you wake up and find an Omanyte using your toilet as a kiddie pool? Would anybody have believed me if I tried telling them about this later? I think not.
[The Omantye stops circling and blows some bubbles in the water.]
I am kind of thinking the little guy missed the memo about the whole rampaging thing though because the worst he's done so far is splash some water on the floor. And let's face it: that is not even remotely threatening. Even so, I am not sure I want to try and take him out of there...
[He had an... interesting experience with a Kabuto the first night following the seance. Note to self: angry Kabutos make for really shitty hats.]
Though I will admit I am somewhat baffled as to how he got in here in the first place. He's too big to have-- ah. [He seems to have something of a light bulb moment and, just as the Omanyte began to crawl out of the toilet, John turns the camera to himself. He looks somewhat exasperatedly unamused.] Dave, I swear this had better not be your idea of a prank. Because if so, zero out of five stars, this is lame even by your poor sta--AHHHAHAHAHAHA! That tickles, stop!!
[The view jostles wildly as John fumbles the gear, laughing loudly, before it falls to the floor with a clatter and cuts out entirely.]

action
Oh, cool! [He is not even fazed. Though how he managed to miss Sollux on the couch when he came home is a mystery. He must have been that tired and out of it. Which... considering he probably spent the greater portion of the day trying to keep up with Aradia on a fossil-high, is totally believable.]
I have no idea how he got in here though. I just came in here to pee and shower and bam. Omanyte in the toilet.
[He's still holding the thing out at arm's length, seemingly wary of just what those frisky tentacles might want aside from his toes.]
action
...
[Sollux steps into the bathroom, easily slipping in with John and the Omanyte on his arm; one of the few benefits of being as thin as he was. He stares down the toilet bowl.]
That thing has a hard shell. It couldn't possibly climb through the small pipes.
You don't think it... spawned in there, did you?
action
[Just... starin' at that toilet. They are making great strides in unraveling this mystery here. Great strides.]
action
[Sollux takes a moment to reflect on the repercussions of that.]
[His expression goes from neutral, to sour, to WarHeads.]
action
I will find out soon enough though! [He wiggles the device befor letting his hand fall to his side. He would pocket it but... well he's only wearing boxers and a t-shirt because it is too damn hot for pajama pants.]
Just gotta figure out what to do with little dude first.
action
You're not actually going to poll the people of Johto on what they find in their fucking toilets, are you?
[Please, God, just let him Google it.]
action
Or something.
action
...Still not sure you really want people knowing there's an Omanyte in your toilet, though.
action
But let me just... get out of your way for now then. Find something to do with Tentacles here and then start on breakfast I guess. [He moves out the door and into the hallway. stopping before fully disappearing though.]
Will you be staying with us for that, by the way? Do waffles sound good to you?
action
action
action
action
[He's all the way in the kitchen though so hearing is about all he can do. He takes a few minutes to get the Omanyte set up in one side of the kitchen sink and wash his hands before he starts going through the cupboards and pulling out all the necessary ingredients and appliances to make waffles.]
[If Sollux is curious and wants to check on him, he'll probably find John midway through mixing up the batter. By hand, with a whisk, because fuck your electric beaters. Real men don't need that shit.]
action
Lookin' for this?
action
Nah, I got it all under control.
action
[wait]
[fuck]
[In the meantime, he looks at the bowl with a critical look on his face, and leans against the counter.]
I dunno, John, something about exerting your muscles so much on a menial task like this strikes me as kind of a bad idea.
I mean, you could set on fire or something.
And you know who'd have to clean that up?
Captain Toilet, that's who.
