prank #50 | video

So did anybody know that it's possible for Pokémon to be deaf?

[While John looks more or less fine, when he speaks there's a definite sort of half-squeaky grogginess to his voice that suggests he's only just recently gotten it back. Someone was pretty damn sick over New Year's (on his deathbed, one would think, the way he carried on) and has only just recently gotten over it. But at least his nose finally stopped running and he's done coughing. His lost voice just has yet to find its way back to him entirely.]

[He's sitting on the floor of his living room, leaning back against the couch. He's not looking at the camera, though. Instead, he's smiling somewhat fondly at a cheerful-looking Gothita playing with a squiddle doll a few feet away from him. She's chewing on one of the tentacles, giggling a little with her back to John.]


I feel like it really shouldn't be so surprising. I just never really stopped to think about it being a Thing That Could Happen, you know? [He turns his attention to the camera, finally.]

Anyway, so how was everyone's New Year? I missed ringing it in, myself.

[Time to play catch-up since he's been out of the loop for like a week now and fuck checking all the network backlog.]

[Once John is finished with the video, Rose enters the room. She waited, so as not to interrupt him you see. In her arms she's carrying a couple of other toys to see if the little Gothita would be interested in any of them, Guile at her side. Nothing unusual there, though today she actually isn't accompanying simply because this is where Rose is going. She wants to visit the baby too.]

You didn't completely miss it.
tentacletrainer: (You're too kind.)

There was a kiss. That's gotta count for something, right? [She chuckles, ruffling his hair as she passes him and moving to sit beside the little one. Hopefully not surprising her, but look at all the toys! She brought some that move and some that are stuffed like the squiddle. Some that light up...

Guile, meanwhile, is nuzzling her a lot.]

tentacletrainer: (You truly amuse me.)

[That's okay. They can both wait. Guile settles down beside her, sitting in a way where the Gothita is pressed against her side a little, watching her intently.

Seems the Espeon has become very attached to her in a very short amount of time.]


I told you I would be fine. And it most certainly does not count.
tentacletrainer: (You are dumber than I thought.)

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-01-09 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
And you will have every right.

If I start coughing.

[She'll notice them when she's ready!]
tentacletrainer: (Oh I'm sorry. Did that hurt?)

Who said I was here to visit you? Perhaps I am here to pay respect to little Stella.

[She grins a little though, curling her fingers into mock claws.]

Though perhaps I have come to prey upon you. Dave is convinced I am going to lay my eggs in you and not him, so I suppose I should get on that eventually, shouldn't I?
tentacletrainer: (You are dumber than I thought.)

[And that has her laughing.]

Do you know of the desert wasp?
tentacletrainer: (You look uncomfortable.)

[Guile is pleased, judging by the many chirping noises she is currently making. Sorry John, this is her baby. She steal her now.]

Then it's nothing.

[Unless you press the matter, you're apparently lucky today John.]
tentacletrainer: (Why don't we ask fate?)

That sounds incredibly kinky, John. Keeping me locked up in the basement and all.

[Her smile implies that she is obviously teasing.

But no John. This is her baby. Stella is her baby just look at Guile tongue bathing the little one. Gotta get baby clean.]
tentacletrainer: (I believe I have a right to be smug.)

Perhaps, but you should have at least expected it.

[What a perfect, precious baby. You will be the prettiest, Stella. Guile will make absolutely sure of it.]

So really it's your fault.
tentacletrainer: (Mmm.)

[With a laugh she leans over to steal one in return.]

I am so ready. I have been looking forward to it, even if every day sort of already feels like a vacation. It's going to be wonderful though.

[She leans in, waggling her eyebrows.]

I've heard the cabins on the boat are soundproof.

Action; GET OUT.

[Rose squeals, curling up almost instantly to try and escape his fingers. She's not ready. She will never be ready for tickling.]

J-John--!!! [Nope. Laughing too hard to get a word out edgewise.]
tentacletrainer: (I can't believe you just said that.)

Action;

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-01-13 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
[No, but she wasn't expecting the tickling. But enjoy this while it lasts, John. Rose has an ace up her sleeve.]

S-st-stop--!! [As she continues laughing, she smacks the ground a few times, trying to roll away from him. Not that she's succeeding.

But while John is busy with this, Guile has nuzzled Stella, getting up with a couple of affectionate licks. And then she turns around and pounces John.

Are you prepared to get tickled yourself? Because Guile has been practicing. Her tail and paws tease at his sides, trying to at least get him off Rose.]
tentacletrainer: (That's very kind of you to say.)

Action;

[personal profile] tentacletrainer 2014-01-13 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Except he has it worse, because once Rose is free and able to breathe, she starts tickling him too.

You weren't expecting her not to retaliate, were you John?]
