prank #46 | video

[The feed opens up to what is presumably a hotel room, but it's really kind of hard to tell with how much the camera is jostling around. Is that a person? Yeah that's a person, but they don't seem to be paying attention to the camera. There's a static-y sort of giggle and a Rotom's face flashes briefly across the screen. Well that explains that.]

Tron! Come on now, dude, I know you're excited but nobody can see anything if you keep moving around like that. [The figure turns out to be John, who has moved across the room to grab hold of the whirring and giggling device. For a moment, he fixes the screen with a relatively stern look (for John, anyway). It's clearly meant for the Pokémon inside the device, not any of the viewers.]

Caaaalllmmmm. Brrrrzapp!! Good.

[John smiles and lets the device go once more. This time, the image stays still. Yup, that's a hotel room alright. Scattered about the room are a ridiculous number of brightly colored plush toys, one of which is currently having its tentacles chewed on by an Omanyte. Remember that guy? The one from the toilet? Yeah, he's still around apparently. A Lopunny, Lampent, and a Froslass are also visible; the former two chittering happily over a couple of the magnetic plush cephalopods, while the latter drifts lazily around the room, almost seeming bored.]

[But more importantly, there's also a fair-sized pile of eggs next to the couch.]

So I told myself I was only going to breed a couple of my ghosts this time but I may have ended up getting just a little overzealous in the end. [He laughs and shrugs.] Anyway, I need to start putting a little extra money away so I'm selling all of them for P3000 each. Except for the Snorunts, Goletts, and Rotoms, which are only 2000 since they have little to no egg moves. I will be sending out the full list of what I have as well as egg moves in a minute because I will be here all day if I try to verbally list off some of these. If you have any questions about the species themselves or parental temperament or anything like that, I will of course be happy to answer.

I think that about cov-- oh wait! One more thing real quick. Kind of sort of related, but I was talking with my friend Aradia the other day and we were thinking about maybe putting together some kind of ghost club. You know like... maybe get together every once in a while and go check out haunted houses or something. Just a thought, figured I would throw it out there to see if anybody would be interested in that sort of thing.

[He beams and flashes a thumbs up to the camera.]

Tron, if you would please!

Rrrzzzttt!!

[The feed clicks off and a few moments later, a text is sent out with the full list of eggs and egg moves.]

((ooc: There are still plenty of eggs left to be claimed, so have at them if you want.))

Are you kidding? Violet's so boring, I don't wanna get stuck there again. But I gotta go 'cause my Mom wants to do the Gym battle there.

Last time I said I wasn't gonna go, but then she punched me so hard I got knocked out. So. Yeah.

[VIOLET...URGH...]

Edited 2013-08-27 22:00 (UTC)

Your... mom punched you?

[WOW UM... WOW. TOUGH LOVE? Jesus, ninja parents...]

Yeah. She oes that a lot.

[Count yourself lucky you dont have a ninja mom, john.]

That's... er. Jeez. Harsh?

[He's counting his blessings as we speak.]

Be lucky you don't have a ninja mom.

Haha, well I don't have a mom at all so... but I do feel lucky that I don't have a ninja one, yes.

...You never knew your Mom?

Well it's...kind of complicated, to tell you the truth. But no, I never did. I was adopted and raised by my dad. Who...actually turned out to be my half brother, genetically? Like I said: complicated.

[Space babies.]

[He was sorta listening, but wow that is really weird... Hold on as he tries to figure it all out.]

Your Dad's your brother...?

[WAIT DOES THAT MEAN.. YOUR MOM...DID SHE HAVE SEX WITH HER SON?!]

Does that make your Mom your Grandma?!

[AFTER THAT WHOLE DAVE AND ROSE THING TOO]

[WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?]

[Lots of things. Mostly the fact that he can't just lie about this and pretend like he has a normal family.]

Half brother. Same mom, different dads. And yes. From a genetic standpoint, she's my mom, but adoptively speaking, she's my grandma. Like I said, my family situation is a little complicated.

I can explain the whole thing start to finish if you want, I even have charts from the last time I tried to explain it.

[They are a thing of beauty. Such an artiste, this boy is.]

That's...

[NOPE still confused as hell over here.]

Why do you have charts?

Because sometimes its easier to explain things with visuals. Plus it sounds super professional when you can say things like "I have charts."

[He seems...so proud of this.]

They're the sort of thing that make people go "Well damn, there's a dude who knows his shit. Check out those charts."

[You know most people probably would think that, but charts just remind Naruto of Academy days and zzzz boring.

But he is more likely to get it when pictures are involved. So.]

...Let's see 'em, then.

[Incest charts what a weirdo!!!]

Woooahhh hold on. Okay, I'll get them in a second but it sounds like there's one thing I apparently need to clear up first? [See, this is why he needs the charts. He's terrible at explaining things.] It's not incest, dude. Do ninjas not have adoption?

Because my dad wasn't actually involved in making me, jeez no, he just took me in when I was a baby. He didn't know that we were genetically related, and raised me as his son. That's why I call him my dad, despite our actual blood relation. Which neither of us knew about for years. In fact, I am not sure if he ever found out about it, to be honest.

[He could have just jumped into Dave and Naruto's conversation a little ways down but then this whole thing would have turned into a mobius reacharound of dumb boys talking over each other and wow that would have gotten about ten times more confusing.]

...Why didn't you just say that in the first place? [Surely you should have started the conversation with IT ISN'T INCEST BUT..... or something.]

I did! I said I was adopted, it was like...the second or third thing out of my mouth. But I guess maybe I didn't draw enough attention to it. Whatever, in any case: there's nothing weird like that going on, okay?

[Because he can't honestly say that there's absolutely NOTHING weird going on. That would be a bold-faced lie.]

But okay so...charts. [He pauses, furrowing a brow at the screen.] Actually, I think I can just link you to the original video where I explained it the first time. Hold on. [A moment's fiddling and then...] There.

[Okay, so he plays that video. Recording still as he does, so enjoy the echoey feedback as well a whole range of confused expressions as he goes through it.]

....I don't get it.

[Alternate universes? Labs? What?]
