Oh hey, what's up?

[There's a pause, perhaps you should tell him why you called. At least until he interrupts...]

Hey, that's cool, but guess what?!

[Another short pause, perhaps you should guess what is so important that John felt the need to interrupt your surely riveting story.]

I am not actually here right now! So leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can!

[You cannot hope to beat John Egbert in a prank-off. He is simply the best there is.]

Hehehehe...you totally fell for it, didn't you?

[Beep!]

Well if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask, alright? [A quick peck on the cheek before he leans forward to pick up his coffee for another sip real quick.]

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

...okay. Thanks, John. I really appreciate the help. And I really appreciate you putting up with me.

[[She sips at her coffee too, glancing his way.]]

Though you know. I was being serious with those questions.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

Aaaaand I still don't have any answers for you, sorry to say.

[He leans back into the couch, propping one hand behind his head while drinking his coffee with the other one. Apparently they're done cuddling for now, because he also proceeds to raise his right foot to rest it on his left knee, leg bent into a triangle. check out those hairy legs What is he, on the beach?]

Those are the big mysteries of the universe, Rose. The ones better left not thought about or else you'll undo the fabric of spacetime or some shit like that. Those questions don't need answers.

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

[[She watches him, before leaning against him anyway. Even if he is relaxing instead of cuddling. This of course gives her the chance to pet those hairy legs.]]

I can't help but wonder about them though...

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

[He'll go back to cuddling soon enough, that much you can count on. Just let him stretch a little and finish his coffee.]

Hey, you don't have to listen to me. I am just saying that thinking about that is a good way to make your brain explode. That's all I'm saying.

[He doesn't so much as raise an eyebrow at her petting his legs. He still doesn't understand what her fascination with that is, but he's pretty much used to it by now so he just takes another swig of coffee instead.]

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

[[Shrugging, she sighs and rests her head against his chest now.]]

I'll take my chances.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

Can you at least wait until after the wedding to take those chances though? You know, so I can reap all the legal benefits and inherit all your stuff? It will help with the grief of your admittedly horrific passing.

[WOW, WHAT A GOOD BOYFRIEND.]

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

I suppose we'll have to get eloped soon then, because I'm not sure if I can keep my brain from asking those questions.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

Does tomorrow night work for you? Or should we go see if the game corner does Vegas style weddings in the back room?

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

Oh Vegas style definitely.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

Do you think we can get married by Pokémon Elvis or did you have something else in mind for our grand, super classy elopement?

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

You ask about Elvis as if he's not mandatory.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

Well I thought, if anybody, Miss Rose Lalonde might want to be a little unconventional about it! [He pinches her upper arm.] You know, break all the norms.

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

Perhaps I am keeping it a surprise for you. [[There was a squeak for that pinch and John got a pinch in return.]]

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

I should have known better, shouldn't I? [He takes one last, long swig of his cup, draining it entirely. Goodbye coffee. You were delicious.]

You know, though, there's just one problem to this whole thing.

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

Oh? And what might that be?

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

[With a grunt, he attempts to untangle his legs and lean forward with Rose still pressed up against his chest. He stretches out towards the coffee table, aiming to put the now empty cup down.]

[Understandably, it takes a few moments of struggling to accomplish this. But once he does, John sinks back into the couch with a sigh, attempting to resume his former snuggling against Rose.]

It involves getting up and frankly, I can't be fucked to bother with that right now.

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

[[He's completely allowed to try, but that might be difficult with her pressing against his chest again.]]

Hey. I didn't say it had to be right now. I am simply warning you that the sooner may be the better.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

Okay, I'll put it at the top of my priority list, starting tomorrow.

[He screws up his face in concentration for a moment.]

Aaaaaand done! Prepare your vows, Rose. Because tomorrow they meet with mine. [He laughs, wrapping his arms around her. If she doesn't have her coffee in hand, he's totally going to try and get her to actually lay down on the couch with him. If she does, well then girl you better finish that up. Because he wants to lay down and snuggle. And Katar can't be bothered to read back to see if she has her coffee or not because Katar is the laziest of lazies.]

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

[[It's on the table, luckily, and she's more than happy to lay down with him. To be honest, she's starting to get sleepy. Evidenced by a yawn as she snuggles up to him a little.]]

They're already prepared. I have them written down in one of my notebooks.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

[Yes, good. Snuggl-- oh hell no. You did not just yawn, Rose. You did not wake him up in the middle of the night and let him drink a whole cup of coffee, only to start passing out barely even an hour later.]

[That had better not be a thing you're in the middle of doing right now.]

Pffftttt. [He nuzzles his cheek against hers, settling himself comfortably between the couch and Rose. Clearly, he doesn't believe her claim.]

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

[[Rose is more than happy to curl up against him, rather than the couch, and she laughs a little at that noise.]]

What? It's true.

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

Uh huh. Sure it is.

[He pinches her arm playfully, seeming to humor what he still believes to be a joke. He's not falling for it, Rose! Whatever it is you're trying to set him up for, it's not working.]

Action; July 14th

[tentacletrainer]

[[With a yawn, she chuckles and pinches him back.]]

Do you want me to get the notebook for you?

Action; July 14th

[ghostytrainer]

[John says nothing to that, instead merely pulling his head away so that he can actually look at Rose. And by look, I mean boggle because he's pretty sure that's not something Rose would say without having something to back it up.]

...you're not joking, are you?
