prank #5 | video / action

[ghostytrainer]

[Since John was finally starting feel a little better (his voice was still a little messed up but hey, at least that cough was finally gone) he decided that this was as good a time as any to do a little training with the Wooper Dave gave him last week.

So he's on route 32, standing in a patch of grass with a disheartened look on his face. His Dunsparce is sitting on his head looking derpy as usual and his Buneary is rolling around happily in the grass a few inches away. Apparently he still doesn't fully understand the concept of keeping all his pokémon in their pokéballs.]

[His Wooper though...is supposed to be fighting a Mareep, although that's not what's happening.]

Rose, please...use mud shot.

[The Wooper ignores him with a very bored look on her face. This has been going on for the past five minutes, even the wild Mareep isn't sure what to make of this at this point.]

Rose...pleeeaaaassseeeee. I am begging you. Do...something! Anything!

[Woop. She is so bored by all of this. John is past the stage of disheartened now and now entering the realm of utter soul-wrenching despair.]

...Flighty Broad...Please. Use. Mud shot.

[The Wooper complies, and then continues the rest of the fight without her master's direction as he had sunk to his knees in defeat. It's really tough to say whether there has been a victory here or not.]

[VIDEO, locked 70%] but...but i don't think i can be anything other than me!

Sounds good. Let me know, I have nothing but free time at the moment and I don't see that changing any time soon. Though I should probably get a job so I can stop freeloading off Dave...

[VIDEO, locked 70%] TRY HARDER.

What about tonight, then? I haven't got much better to do.

Not too surprised you ended up staying with him. Luckily it's not too hard to get a job around here.

[VIDEO, locked 70%] should i try being moodier? maybe punch you every once in a while?

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Er...

[Well shit. He wasn't expecting you to say tonight. Looks like we're talking about Rose again!]

Well I told Rose I'd stop by later. I don't know what time or how long I'll be there, but after that should be fine. Actually I'm not sure if I should even go at all, to be honest.

[He scratches the back of his head and looks away from the camera. Suddenly everything is awkward again.]

[VIDEO, locked 70%] THAT, UH

[threshecutioner.livejournal.com]

[Oho. Karkat notices that clearly, and eyes his Pokégear all the more intently for it.]

Then tomorrow. You should go. If you're this mixed up about things with her - don't deny it - maybe spending time with her will help you sort it out to some degree. You're obviously nervous, but give it a chance. She'll just be upset with you if you don't.

[VIDEO, locked 70%] is that a yes? or are you suddenly tavros?

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, he's still not looking at the camera. This is too embarrassing.]

If you say so, you're the expert. This is...all very confusing.

[VIDEO, locked 70%] NO I AM NOT TAVROS. /avoids question

[threshecutioner.livejournal.com]

A moron like you needs advice anyway. So seriously, if you need it in the future, you know who to ask.

[VIDEO, locked 70%] okay so...yes then?

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Thanks Karkat, I might eventually. I'm just...really not sure what to think right now or if I should actually be thinking anything at all, honestly.

[He's feeling a lot of STUFF right now.]

[VIDEO, locked 70%] ... MAYBE.

[threshecutioner.livejournal.com]

[Did he lose his -KEYS-?]

That's fine. Just remember what I said, alright?

[VIDEO, locked 70%] ... MAYBE.

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[Not only his -KEYS-, but also his -sHoEs-]

I'll do my best to remember everything you've said. Everything.

[VIDEO, locked 70%]

[threshecutioner.livejournal.com]

Good, then.

So does tomorrow work for the movie night?

[VIDEO, locked 70%] wow how did i not say anything up here last time? /facepalm

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it does. Do you have a specific time or should I just show up whenever?

[VIDEO, locked 70%] BECAUSE YOU'RE A DUMBASS, JOHN.

[threshecutioner.livejournal.com]

Whenever is fine. I shouldn't be too busy then.

[VIDEO, locked 70%] awww. :(

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll send you a text or something before I come over.

[He looks pretty excited about this. This is going to be great, because movies are always great. So is spending time with BUDDIES.]

[VIDEO, locked 70%] QUIT WHINING. |:B

[threshecutioner.livejournal.com]

[THEY'RE NOT BUDDIES yet, JOHN.]

That works. See you then.

[And with that, he clicks off the feed.]
