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 clam~~perl~~, 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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[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.]

[John just stares at the screen.]

[Double checks the ID. Yup, Dave.]

[More staring at the screen.]

[Staaaarrriiiiiinnngggg...]

Dave, what the actual fuck are you doing? I swear if this is your idea of pranking...

[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?]

Dude. Are you high right now or something? Because, seriously, I thought I told you that Paras shrooms were something you should avoid.

Also, toasters make for really shitty horror film stars if that's what you are aiming for here.

[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.]

[...well then. That is.]

[That is a thing. Maybe if Dave puts his fossilmon together with John's, the two of them will have an entire brain between them. Just maybe.]

[John can't really spare it much thought though, because at the jumping and yelping he just starts laughing hysterically.]

And that my friend, is karma!!! You reap what you sow, Dave, and that is what you get for teaching Woobats how to face hug! Hahaha! Fuck it's like Alien only better, I feel like I need popcorn.

[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.

Please, give me some credit. I still had my pants up. I am not quite that out of it in the morning.

[John laughs.]

But I dunno, man. That looked like a pretty amorous face tackle to me!

He's just seeing his reflection and trying to woo it. Unlike the toilet adventurer and his magical kiddie pool.

I fail to see how that makes him an improvement over Davy Jones, dude. He is either super in love with himself or literally unable to tell that his reflection is not another Anorith.

[...yup, they're really about on the same level here.]

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.

[John taps his square frames.]

Pshhh, please! My lenses are clear and have anti-glare coating. Even if you are close enough to see something reflected in them, you can hardly tell what it is! Not the same as shades, man.

[He grins wickedly and wiggles his fingers at Dave.]

Karrrrrrrrmaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

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.]

I think you should name him Karma. But I know you won't so moving on: do you really have to ask that? Of course she does, why?

She's going to enjoy your little porcelain worshiper.

Oh, they are already... acquainted. Why do you think I am keeping him?

Well... aside from the fact that he is cute and I am not so heartless that I could just let a Pokémon like this go fend for himself. ["Like this" meaning "brain-damaged".]

[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.]

You know me too well, Dave. I'm still debating on it but I think I am going to name him Davy Jones. You know because... of the tentacles. Plus that would make both of my fossil Pokémon a Jones. Since I have Aradia's Kabtops, Indy, from the first time she was here still.

[He is. So clever.]

Rose keeps calling him "baby" but like hell is that actually going to be his name.

[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.

Hey, he didn't have to sprint too much in 'Kingdom of the Crystal Skull', did he? It's been forever since I have seen it, obviously, so I can't honestly say I remember but considering the fact that he was getting on in his years...

[He looks over to the sink and wiggles his fingers in front of Davy Jones, who swims over and starts wiggling his tentacles all over John's fingers in return.]

But, I guess we will see, one way or the other. Maybe I should try keeping him away from Rose until he learns to respond to something that I can actually say without embarrassing myself.

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.]

[They were having a conversation? Really? Seems John already forgot because he's too busy laughing at Dave's expense.]

Oh man, forget making waffles. If these keeps up I think I might just pop some popcorn for breakfast and call it a day!

[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.]

[Hey come on now! He didn't even do anything, you brought this on yourself.]

Yeah, yeah, I will get right on that. So did he break into your room too or was this more of a "look what followed me home" sort of deal?

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.
