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.]

video/action?; probably a little of both we just don't know. homestucks are ridic
Hehehe, I don't know Aradia, you say that like I kept track of how many of each I put out and who got what.
[Lies. He totally kept track of both of these things.]
Guess there's only one way to find out!!
video/action?; it will become action when she has to plan his murder
Okay, this could be bacon or peppermint or something else. It's not like she hasn't run into a trick candy cane before over the past month or so but repeating that doesn't sound fun though it's not like it'll kill her.
Is this candy cane safe?
Is it not?
It's Schrödinger's Candy Cane right now.
But she wants a candy cane.
This has been about a minute of Aradia Megido frowning at the candy cane and John in turn. ]
I am pretty sure you did keep track of that! Otherwise you'd have fallen for your own tricks by now.
[ She is pretty sure that hasn't happened. :|a ]
video/action?; good thing there's no roller coaster in the near vicinity
[He's prankster's gambit is so high right now. So high.]
[Especially since, yes, she is right. He knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that that candy cane in her hand is completely harmless. Mostly because he cleaned up all the bacon ones, at least, after Christmas. And he just cleaned up the last of the Wasabi ones a few days ago because it's January now and the candy cane prank was a December-only offer. Though being bed ridden kind of extended it by a few days.]
Pffftt, you say that like I didn't have my own secret stock of completely safe candy canes squirreled away in an undisclosed location.
[Give him some credit here!]
video/action?; don't make me go to alex to ask for an amusement park. I WILL
Why does she keep trying them?
They're just so tempting and delicious... ]
I'm going to find that next year, then!
[ And replace all of them with trick candy canes. SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT THEN, next...year... ]
video/action?; please do, we need one.
You're certainly welcome to try! You have a full eleven months to think about why I might potentially hide my safe stash. I believe in you, Aradia.
[In the meantime, though. Are you going to eat that one you have or continue to let him pick on you?]
video/action?; maybe i will
Because of the padawan thing?
[ YES, SHE IS GOING TO TAKE A BITE. SHE CAN DO THIS. ]
video/action?; *^*
video/action?; *^*
[ Should she be suspicious...
AND THE BITE IS TAKEN. ]
...You knew this was okay, didn't you.
video/action?;
[John that is literally the worlds worst poker face. She's not going to buy this.]
video/action?;
[ .......... ]
Some more, I mean. Since you were doing that to start with!
video/action?;
[He laughs.]
And you, my friend, have become my first victim!
[Because he knew and you didn't but you still totally fell for it because he was being a little shit. One small tick in the gambit to John's favor, HAHA!!]
video/action?;
[ NOTE TO SELF: figure out a way to get back at John since she's pretty sure that is Expected.
Maybe she should do that thing Momo suggested ages ago and replace his pokeballs with plastic useless balls BUT THAT SOUNDS A LITTLE...HM.
She's never really tried pranks before. ]
video/action?;
[NO, JOHN.]
[But yes, it is completely expected and encouraged You get him, Aradia. Somehow, you get him.]
video/action?;
[ She's going to get you! Somehow.
Maybe she needs to recruit Rose or something. :|a ]
