prank #10 | video / action for route 32

[ghostytrainer]

[The video feed clicks on at three o'clock in the morning, a curious looking Eevee's face taking up the screen. She nudges the camera with her nose a bit, as though trying to straighten the camera. She then disappears off-screen, revealing a lovely nighttime view of route 32. A little ways away stand two human figures, accompanied but a Gastly which appears to be in the middle of a battle. The image is kind of wobbly and low to the ground, indicating that, once again, a pokémon has gotten a hold of his or her trainer's pokegear. Since one of the trainers is clearly John (for those of you who know him), it should be fairly obvious who the pokémon operating the camera is. Hint: it isn't Sassacre.]

Night Shade again, Slimer.

[John doesn't sound nearly as enthusiastic as usual. This is one of the side effects of being dragged out of your hotel room at 9pm and being forced into a non-stop grinding session. Rose, you are a slave driver.]

[Slimer however, seems to be pretty enthusiastic still (probably because he's only been the focus of this training session for the past forty five minutes or so) and obliges, finishing his opponent with glee.]

Wooo! That was good. Okay...can we go back to the hotel now, Rose? Are we done here yet?

I'm not certain, John. Has Slimer evolved yet?

...No.

I believe you have answered your own question then.

[There are a few Buneary and Eevee equivalents of giggles from nearby off-screen as John gives Rose a look that says something along the lines of "Are you serious?!" In return, Rose gives him one that says "Quite, now get a move on." Realizing that he's fighting a losing battle here, John groans and begins shuffling through the grass in search of another random wild pokemon for Slimer to defeat. Notebook in hand, Rose follows after him, eager to add more strategies to the growing list on the pages of her notebook.]


((OOC: Video tags will get a response from John, Rose, or both once Slimer has finally evolved. Rose is determined to have John level-grind until his pokémon are strong enough to take on the gym, he's not allowed to answer the 'gear till she's satisfied.))

Once Slimer has evolved, we will be able to work on Tripp tomorrow. And if you wake up early enough, it will not be so late when we do.

[[Finishing up her last little note, she reads it over and goes back to watching John.]]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

...we're doing this again tomorrow?

[Why won't you let him just be lazy and do nothing, Rose? Why?!]

Action;

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Yes. We are. All of your Pokemon could use training.

[[Because she is looking out for your well being. She is being a good friend. :|]]

Action;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright...but not this late again.

[Why hello there wild Bellsprout, say hello to Slimer! He would like to play with you!]

Action;

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Again, if you wake up early enough, it won't be.

[[Sitting back to watch, tapping her lips.]]

Action;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

....Define "early." Slimer, use hypnosis!

[Yup, carrying on a conversation and a battle at the same time. Woooo multi-tasking!]

Action;

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

Noon, at the very latest. Earlier even, if you work tomorrow as well.

Action;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Well it's a good thing I don't work tomorrow then, because I don't think I'll be conscious before noon. Especially if we're out here much later than this. Good, now Lick!

[[Well guess who does notice your quiet "hm"s, murmurs, and pencil scratches thanks to being one of the fabulous camera-wom--Pokemon.]]

Eeeveeee!

[[Yup. Curious Guile is curious.]]

[[Acknowledgment!]]

Eeeee! Eevee! Vee eevee veeeeeee.

[[Wiggling a little now, then moving to show off Rose and John again for a bit, and then returning!]]

Eevee ee!

[[Enjoy her mind, Scratch.

Oh deeear, did I talk to fast? I should apologize!]]

Eeeeeevee!

[[What did heeee ask again? Oh yeah, how I'm doeeeeng! That's right! Which is well, beeeecause I get to visit with Caseeeee and Uncle John! And that's reeeealleeeee fun!]]

Eeeee eevee! Veeee eevee eee! Eeevee vee eeeeeee!

[[I wonder how heeee is doeeeeng!

Sniffing curiously at the 'gear now.]]

Eeevee?

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

['sup. Big ol' Haunter, all up in your business--

That is, until Riku snatches the Gear from him.]

Trying to get a Haunter?

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[Freedom! Sweet, sweet freedom I mean! Training is done for now, John can answer his responses now!]

Yep! Or, well...I wa-- [Haunter-interrupt! Just gonna push his master out of the way a little to get a look at the screen! Hello there!]

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[Trainer, outta the way! Out of the way!

Even with Riku holding onto the 'gear, a 5'3'' floating head and hands is a little hard to miss, so Phantom will at least try to greet his fellow ghost.

...Typical Phantom.]

Great. Put two Haunters together over the PokéGear, and of course this happens.

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[And Slimer's just going to continue shoving the side of John's face, trying to be the ~center of attention~ and greet his fellow Haunter. John's just going to take it and try and carry on a conversation, despite the fact that he looks pretty ridiculous right now.]

Can't say I'm too surprised, really.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

[You want ridiculous? Really? Haha! Phantom's gonna give Riku a nice lick and ruffle his hair. Drop the gear, drop it. Drop it!

But, alas, Riku's still got it.]

Yeah. Most ghost types are pranksters, especially Haunters and Gengars.

[video]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[Slimer thinks that's pretty funny, Phantom. Thumbs up and laughter!]

That's one of the reasons why they're my favorite type! Well, I only have one but still. I wouldn't object to more ghost-types. I don't think we've met before, my name is-- [At this point, Slimer decides that his master is just talking too much and he's getting bored with shoving his face and being ignored. So he sticks his fingers in the corners of John's mouth and pulls back. Unfortunately, his master was still trying to talk so his speech is a little impaired by this.] --Jahn.

[He looks unamused despite the fact that his face is pulled into a really awkward smile.]

Shlimer...tryin' haffa confersation here.

[video]

[islandshore.livejournal.com]

I've got two, but Phantom's the only one that--

[This is boring. It's no fun when he takes things like a man.

So, Phantom's going to tug him backwards by his hair. This time, Riku nearly does drop the Gear, but he manages to catch it before it hits the ground.]

...pulls stuff like this. And if you think this is bad, you should've seen him when he terrorized the Department Store.

[Yes. Yes, he should have! Phantom rubs his hands together, nodding.]

Anyway, name's Riku.

. . . [Just... staring at the screen, equal parts surprised, interested, tired and horrified.]


...Okay- what?

[video]

[usedtherapy.livejournal.com]

[[Oh, what's this? A message?]]

Good morning, Sokka. What has you up so early?

[video] this is incredibly silly

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[There's a reason why Rose was the first to respond to you, Sokka. In the background, you may be able to see John locked in a struggle with his newly-evolved Haunter. Apparently he is very happy about his evolution. John is not amused.]

No! Slimer get off! Haaaauuunnttt! [Lick attempt!] No! STOP! [Shove!] SLIIIMMEERRRR!! Haunt haunt!
