prank #3 | video

[When the video feed clicks on, it is to a scene of John in his hotel room haphazardly throwing stuff into his bag. Clearly, he's not the one operating the pokégear. since he only has one pokémon with actual appendages, it's pretty obvious that Tripp the Pidgey is the cameraman at the moment.]

Okay...Vriska, Aradia, Gamzee, Eridan I don't feel like trying to track all four of you down so hopefully you'll all see this. Rose just made it to Cherrygrove so we're ready to go if you four--

[A semi-loud crack from a source somewhere off screen stops him mid sentence. He looks over his shoulder towards something that can't be seen from the current camera angle.]

Oh, no way.

[He drops his bag to the floor and walks off screen. It takes Tripp a minute to adjust the camera so that John's visible again, but once he manages it, it becomes obvious what distracted him: his buneary egg is hatching. It takes a few moments for the tiny creature to fully extricate itself from its egg, but when it does...]

OH MY GODDDDDDD!!!

[John picked up the small pokémon and proceeds to flip the fuck out. He is basically dancing around that room make strange unintelligible shrieking noises of joy. His Buneary doesn't seem to mind and is actually making happy little squeaky noises as well. There's no way half the inn isn't hearing this shit.]

[The video feed cuts off.]

[He is too far gone Rose, there is no hope of him hearing you. But Tripp seems to agree with you, so he gives his master a firm peck on the head, the camera view swaying ridiculously as he does so. What an awesome floor.]

Ow! Tripp! What was that for? Huh?

[The camera reorients itself and John reappears, still firmly grasping his Buneary who is hugging the side of his face with its little arms.]

Oh! Rose!

[Dawning realization.]

...the camera was still on for that wasn't it?

...Of course it was, John. You were in the middle of recording when this happened, what would make you think it had turned off?

[[Sigh.]]

Once everyone is gathered and we are set to go, you may continue your celebration.

[[That Buneary is pretty cute though, so she can't really blame you. Of course, she won't be telling you that.]]

...crap.

[It's almost enough to make him facepalm at his own foolishness. Why didn't you turn the camera off Tripp, WHY?!]

Right...okay. Well hopefully they at least got the message. I'll be back downstairs in a second.

And I will be waiting here.

[[And she was indeed, sitting in a chair in the main hall with Tick in her hair, her Pidgey in her lap and Dave looking cool in the chair next to her.]]

[And eventually John shows up in the lobby, Tripp on his shoulder, Sassacre on his head, and Casey in his arms. He has become some sort of strange tree for normal-type pokemon apparently. It takes him a minute of looking around to find Rose, but eventually he makes his way over to her.]

Well I found Eridan. He's going to go find Gamzee and apparently they're both ready to go. Still waiting to hear from those other two though.

Will we be meeting them somewhere or will they be coming to our location?

[[The Pidgey is interested in the variety of Pokemon, however the other two generally remain where they are. Rose just shakes her head at how ridiculous he looks.]]

I told him to meet me back here, hopefully he'll be back soon.

[He sits down in the chair next to her.]

And now we wait.
