ghostytrainer | prank #2 | video/action for cherrygrove

[A video feed clicks on revealing a picture of...the ground. A pair of bright red sneakers with flames on the side are also visible peeking out from under a pair of dark jeans. A Dunsparce crawls into frame and stares(?) up at the camera curiously(?).]

Okay I think this is on...uhm. Hi everyone! It's John, and I finally made it to Cherrygrove! Aradia showed me how to use the video function, so this time you can actually see me instead of me typing all this out. Isn't that great!?

[A Pidgey joins the Dunsparce on frame, also looking up at the camera with a look that can only be described as exasperated. Clearly it does not approve of this utter failure of a video.]

Yeah, this is great. Except...I don't really have much to say. The trip was pretty much uneventful. I caught a Pidgey though! I named him Tripp after Matthew McConaughey's character in Failure to Launch. You know, because he's a bird. Failure to Launch. Bird. Get it? Haha! Come over here Tripp so they can see you. Come on.

[The Pidgey gives John (who is still off-screen except for his shoes) an 'are you serious look' and doesn't move.]

Okay well it looks like he's feeling kind of camera shy right now. Same with Colonel Sassacre...what are you both doing down there anyway? Okay well whatever, that's really all I have to say at the moment. Vriska if you're still in Cherrygrove I guess I'll meet you at the inn or something. You did wait for me, right? Right?!

[The video feed clicks off.]

[Have another awesome shot of John's equally as awesome shoes.]

Since you know who I am but I have no idea who you are...I'm going to guess you're one of the trolls. Or you were. Since you're all human now. You don't seem nearly angry enough to be Karkat though, so which one are you? And who's KK?

[Oh rainbow text, how John misses you.]

Okay, firtht, turn the gear around. Or change it to voithe or thomething.

And me being a troll really hath nothing to do with knowing who you are but okay. We talked a few dayth ago, I'm Tholluxth.

[He turns the gear around, so now it's pointing skyward instead of at his feet.]

Okay, I turned it around, even though that seems like a weird thing to ask. I mean, wouldn't that mean you're looking at the city now instead of me? And...now I can't see the screen so I can't see you either.

I remember you! Mustard yellow text, right? Sorry, the text was the only way I had of recognizing you. Hi again!

Wow, yeah, that'th utheful. How about you jutht turn it how it wath and we'll pretend you have the camera fathing the right way okay? Unleth you think you can actually make it look at yourthelf inthtead of the ground or the thky.

Yeah, that'th me. Hi, I gueth.

Uh...okay. [He somehow manages to get it pointed at his face.]

Is it pointing the right way now? I can see you again at least. [He waves at the camera] Now I have a face to go with the name! You never answered my question though. Who's KK?

Yeah, that'th better. Not that I really wanted to thee you but if you're going to have the video on it'th better thith way.

[oh, whoops. he forgot about that.] Thorry. KK ith jutht what I call Karkat.

Yeah, it makes more sense. I mean, who wants to look at shoes? Man I can't believe I did that, I feel so dumb. [He smacks himself in the forehead.]

I call him beep beep meow. Well not really, but that's just what his name reminds me of. Because it's car. And cat. Beep beep meow.

It'th not that big a deal, at leatht you didn't practically ruin yourth like KK did.

...Okay, that wath thtupid. Pleathe don't do that again or I'm going to regret talking to you even more than I already do.

What did he do? Throw it against the wall or something?

No, actually. There'th thith way on them to filter methageth to people but it'th not like, a thuper obviouth function or anything even though it'th really glubbing eathy. He wath trying to do that and he completely froze the thing up, it wath pretty hilariouth.

And then for thome reathon he gave me that one ath a human Chrithtmath prethent.

He...gave you a broken Pokégear...for Christmas? I don't understand, why would he even do that?

I don't really know. He thaid it wath tho I could meth around with it and thee what he did wrong but I already knew. It ith kind of nithe to have a thecond one to try programming, though.

Oh so you're a programmer? Me too! But I'm pretty bad at it. It sounds like you're actually good at it though.

Well, I'm normally more of a hacker, but yeah, I am. I'm pretty much the betht around. [looks like John caught him in an actually good mood, for once!]

Cool! Maybe you can show me some tricks sometime. All the books I had were pretty...hard to get through. And Dave always laughed at me instead of actually helping me. [Aww yay, happy icon!]

I can try, if you want to. I even taught KK how to actually lock thingth and he managed it without blowing anything up, tho thowing you thomething thouldn't really be too hard.

That'd be cool! This thing is a lot more confusing than it looks. I had to have Aradia show me how to make the video work...and obviously I didn't even get that right. It would be nice to be able to lock things.

You thaid that before, too. Are you and AA traveling together or thomething?

For now, yeah. We got here around the same time and we're both heading to the same place, so it seemed like a good idea.

Okay, then I really don't think you thould meet up with Vrithka. Putting the two of them together ithn't really a good idea, in fact it'th pretty much the oppothite.

Really? Aw man, how am I supposed to tell one of them that I don't want to travel with them? They're both really nice and I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. [He sighs.] Thanks for the head's up though.

No, thee, that'th a really eathy problem to tholve becauthe VK ith pretty much the biggetht bitch ever tho you don't need to worry about her.

What you THOULD do though ith meet up with Gamzee and Eridan and then you and AA and GZ can go together and VK and ER can go together. That way everyone'th happy.

I'll keep all that in mind. Hopefully everything will work out for the best. I don't think it would be very much fun traveling with a group of people who hate each other. Probably pretty dangerous too.

Dangerouth ith pretty much the biggetht underthtatement ever, but yeah it'th really a bad idea. I don't think anyone needth to deal with dead trollth right now.

Yeah that would be really bad. Okay, I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the advice, hopefully I'll get the chance to meet you in person soon.
