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.]
moveslikestrider: (I put on a show.)

[Similarly to John's post, this one opens up a video shot of the toaster. There's something that sounds suspiciously like a saxaphone before it cuts out.

It turns on again to something making little cooing noises but the shot is an angle side vide of the toaster. Whatever is making the noise is unknown.

It shuts off again.]
moveslikestrider: (The fat cats had a heart attack.)

[The video clicks on again, the cooing is a bit louder and you can just make out the shadow of something. If the camera man moved a little, you could but alas.

Click.

Maybe he's pranking. Maybe he's just fucking with you. Who can say?]
moveslikestrider: (I don't need to try to control you.)

[It clicks on again and this time, one can see the Anorith doing some interpretive dance for the toaster. It keeps staring into it and swaying as it dances. This poor sucker is trying to woo his own reflection. You can finally see Dave too, wearing shades and jeans, he sort of forgot the shirt because he'd been a lazy riser.

But then, so as the pokemon seen him too. It turns and launches for his face.

There's a startled yell and a click.]
moveslikestrider: (I have made the choice.)

[Slightly mussed up and none of the worst for wear Dave looks exactly the same as before. Except he's holding the Anorith in his hands and refusing to let it get near his shades.]

Hey, woobats just want to share their love with you. [So does Anorith but Dave isn't going to comment on that.] And shut up, you nearly pissed on your fossil buddy.

He's just seeing his reflection and trying to woo it. Unlike the toilet adventurer and his magical kiddie pool.
moveslikestrider: (Maybe it's hard.)

Oh my god, why did we have to get picked by the two morons of the group. Just remember your glasses are reflective too. Face lovings might be in your future, bro.

You think he cares about that? Maybe I could name him 'burning love'. No. That's lame.

[He squints at John behind his shades and down at the big bug in his hands that's a lot like trying to hold back a dog with a lot of legs. Oh god, this will be the subject of his nightmares. Creepy crawly things just running over his face and-]

Wait. Doesn't Rose love tentacly things? [SUBJECT CHANGE NOW.]

She's going to enjoy your little porcelain worshiper.
moveslikestrider: (Isn't it serene?)

[The bug in his hands wriggles and tries to get free, but Dave holds it fast.] So what are you naming your 'special' new pokemon bro?

There's no way you haven't picked one out yet. [Dave carefully sets the Anorith down on the floor at his feet and heads over to the fridge, snagging the milk. He visibly debates with himself whether he's lazy enough to just drink straight from the carton.]
moveslikestrider: (Moves like Jagger)

[Video]

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-08-04 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes the carton to listen for just how much milk is left. The sloshing sound signals that if he decides to be a lazy slob he could point out it was the last of the carton ANYWAY. After a second he thinks of the consequences and like a smart man pours it out into a glass.]

Well you never know. He might think 'Baby' is his first name and Jones his second. He might answer you anytime you go 'jones' even if you mean Indy - named after a guy who spends ninety percent of every one of his movies - running from something or someone. I mean name one where he's not had to sprint like a world medalist. I think you can't.

Let's be honest here, it's probably too late. [The Anorith flips in Dave's grasp in seconds and wraps around his wrist. It bites down, earning a surprised hiss as he lets go. Too late, he realizes that it intended on that. It whips around his arm and you guessed it.

Right for the face again.]


OH COME O- HRGH! [He drops the gear with a click again. But you can totally hear him all the way in the bathroom.]
moveslikestrider: (You say I'm a kid.)

[Video]

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-08-09 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[The gear is filled with the sight of Dave's hand flipping John the bird. He will get you. He will <>get you. Just you wait.]
moveslikestrider: (I have made the choice.)

[personal profile] moveslikestrider 2013-08-14 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
No, it was a, 'holy shit, there's a bug in here trying to woo hoo with the toaster'! [He manages to peel the Anorith off his face and shoves his shades up.]

I came in here to make breakfast and there the terrible magic was going down. All it needed was a saxophone so I provided it.
