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.]

Ditto on the Kabuto and Omanyte over here. But we have Lileep and Anorith instead of Cranidos and Shieldon so I guess we got sort of lucky in that regard? They are smaller and less... charge-y.
no subject
[The Cranidos lets out an annoyed roar, but seems to at least momentarily accept its fate and just drop its head to the ground with a heavy thunk.]
The Lileep and the Anorith?
no subject
[And then he cracks into a grin, trying not to laugh.]
You should ask Dave about Anoriths sometime.
no subject
[She returns the grin, clearly sensing mischief.]
Oh, don't worry, I will. But first, what's a dinosaur? Is that the type of Pokémon, because the 'dex just said it was Rock.
[Words she doesn't understand again...]
no subject
[Kinda like fossil Pokémon. Funny how that works!]
They were some of the first life on Earth, even before humans! They come in all different varieties with more specific names, but "dinosaur" is the umbrella term that refers to them as a whole. Basically, they are just ancient lizards, many of which were very, very big.
no subject
[The Cranidos lets out another plaintive roar. She doesn't like being sat on!]
I wonder if we ever had anything like that...? I've never heard of it, but I mean we have Pokémon-like creatures too, so it might be possible.
no subject
It's possible that your world did though! You typically find fossils and bones and stuff waaaay deep down in the ground, so it's also possible that nobody in your world ever really found out. [He shrugs.] You just never know.
no subject
Maybe. Or maybe anyone who's gotten that far has accidentally destroyed them, since the only way we really dig all that deep is either for water wells or for Earth techniques.
