prank #48 | video
[John seems somehow distracted when he turns on the video today. He's sitting at the kitchen table in his house, chin propped in his hand and eyes on a Pokéball he's rolling idly on the table in front of him.]
You ever wonder what it is that determines what happens to a Pokémon after its trainer goes back home? I mean, I've thought about it before but never really thought about it if that makes any sense? This is really the first time I've inherited one that wasn't from a friend so it just got me thinking.
Granted, it originally belonged to someone who was... [He pauses, seeming almost hesitant to finish that sentence. Or perhaps unsure of how he wants to end it.] ...a friend. At...one point in time... [He trails off, brow furrowing as he stops rolling the ball around.] So maybe it has less to do with Eridan and more to do with her.
[He leans his chair back on two legs, picking the ball up and passing it back and forth between his hands, finally looking at the camera.]
So yeah. Anybody have any good conspiracy theories on the matter? I'm curious.

text; no because that would be gross
[KIRIGIRI WILL YOU JUST STOP ALREADY FOR GOD'S SAKE]
text; the absolute grossest thing. ew. feet.
to literally anything else that isn't...this.

I see he's been following this conversation.
text;
dave is the nosiest, most gossipy schoolgirl you will ever meet, true facts.
what about him?
text;
text;
well i am not sure what else to tell you about him.
except for don't fall for his cool guy act, he's actually a super lame dork. but i can tell you're a pretty smart cookie so you probably figured that out on your own by now.
oh, back on what we were talking about originally though.
does that happen to you a lot then?
this place doing things that makes it seem like it knows too much?
text;
...
It's happened more than I'm particularly comfortable with. Sometimes it's only small things, but others it's particularly significant.
text;
i wonder why it happens to you so much. is this why you did that survey a couple months back?
oh wait! wait!
i just remembered! there was one thing that happened that was a case of something here knowing more than it should that actually WAS kind of creepy.
i forget about this one a lot because it's kind of...backwards. which is the part that actually makes it creepy.
back in june, something happened to me here that i just thought was really annoying at the time.
then about a month later i fell into a memory coma and found out that nearly the exact same thing happened to me back home as well.
so...basically this place knew something about me that even *I* didn't know about at the time.
[John...how could you forget about something like this? TWICE even? Because he probably should have included this in Kirigiri's survey...]
text;
So it predicted something that was going to happen to you, but that by your perception hadn't yet.
...
That is unsettling.
text;
really the only thing that was different was the fact that i wasn't temporally bound back home.
here, i always moved forward in time with my zapping, but i could end up pretty much anywhere.
back home, i could end up anywhere or anywhen, because i definitely saw myself in the past at one point.
and some other things that i'm...pretty sure had already happened from my perspective.
but that's a pretty minor difference, honestly.

text;
it was one of those moments where this world just kind of...starts acting up.
when powers come back and all that, it usually happens twice a year.
only last time, something must have gone a little wrong because things were still borked up after the usual three days.
a friend of mine compared it to glitching.
but i caught what i thought was a pokemon but apparently it was...something else.
and after i boxed it, i started warping everywhere.
so maybe it was just a coincidence but...
it was still really weird.

I would have continued letting him assume you were.
It's really amusing.
