[The lovely Violet City hotel carpet is the only thing that can be seen when John's pokegear flicks on today. Isn't that just a lovely pattern? Yeah, that sure is some nice carpet, let's all behold its glory for a moment..........yeah no, moving along.]

John, do you think you could possibly fetch something for me? It seems I managed to cut myself and require a bandage now.

Oh no! Are you okay?!

I will be fine, don't worry. I simply need a band-aid. Possibly disinfectant as well.

Ahhh! Okay, I can do that! Hold on!

[Finally, the camera moves! Goodbye carpet, hello John! Well, the back of John anyway as he is currently moving across the room towards the bathroom so that he might retrieve a band-aid for his friend. Apparently, Rose is in possession of his pokegear and for some odd reason felt the need to film this. Hmm...I wonder why?]

[As John pulls open the door, a bucket falls from the top of it and lands upside-down on his head. As if that wasn't bad enough, the bucket was apparently filled with water. Keyword there being was as the water is now all over John and the floor instead.]

[John is silent for a moment, still facing away from the camera with the bucket on top of his head at a jaunty angle.]

Rose...

Yes, John?

...you didn't really cut yourself, did you?

Oh no, John. I did. It's a papercut, so really it likely doesn't need a band-aid. But I did.

[John is silent once again, but then his shoulders begin shaking with silent giggles. After a moment, the giggles turn into full out laughter as he turns around, soaking wet but grinning from ear to ear.]

Haha! You got me, good one Rose! I really-- [His words taper off as he catches sight of the gear in Rose's hand. Is the recording light on? ...Oh god, it is.]

Rose! Was that on the whole time?! Why would you eve-- [There is a slight whine to his voice as he crosses the room and shuts the feed off, cutting off his own sentence.]

((ooc: For those not involved in the other pranks/those who were involved but never figured it out, John and Rose have switched 'gears for the day. That being said, Rose will likely be the first to respond to you. She might be convinced to hand the 'gear over to John though if you ask. Or he might just inject his unsolicited two cents as usual.))

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

...Okay, did you really have to thow all of uth you dropping that on hith head? [someone might be blushing a bit over here, but there's no way he's going to comment on it or even acknowledge it.]

It's simply part of the prank. [[Of which she is obviously rather proud.]]

Though I'm curious now. What is wrong with me dropping a bucket on his head? It is a very classic prank, fitting for one to befell the master prankster himself.

And are you feeling alright? You look slightly flushed.

It'th a bucket, that'th what'th wrong with it.

And I'm fine.

...Well alright, what is wrong with the bucket then?

...I really don't want to have to eckthplain it again, I already had to tell Thoul. Maybe you thould athk KK.

[Hello Sollux, guess who just wandered over and is now peeking over Rose's shoulder to see who she's talking to? You will be happy to note that the bucket is gone now as a towel is a much better thing to use to dry your hair.]

Huh, what about buckets now? Oh! Wait that's right, they're offensive to trolls! Oh gosh, I'm sorry, Sollux!

You're not the one that broadcatht it to everyone.

Well no, I didn't, but I'm still sorry? I mean it offended you so I just feel like I should apologize since I was involved with it. [John, that's not how you logic. Stop trying.]

Okay, well, you can't really control what your matethprit doeth or doethn't thow to everyone but apology ackthepted, I gueth?

[[Yeah, Rose is still here. She was enjoying watching John apologize, finding it humorous that he would, though still confused on the entire subject. However, with what Sollux says next, she quickly sputters a reply.]]

M-matesprit? Oh we're just good friends. Nothing like that, no. I've only one quadrant filled, and have no intention on filling others anytime soon, I assure you. Wherever did you get such an idea?

[John's a bit slower on the uptake then Rose is. It takes him a second or two to remember what a matesprit is. And though he doesn't have as great a grip on trollmance as Rose does, he does at least understand the implication. Embarrassed, he splutters unintelligibly throughout Rose's explanation before agreeing with her.]

Y-Yeah, what she s-said! J-Just friends!

Rothe, you dropped a bucket on hith head. Why elthe would I think that? I know humanth are weird but that'th jutht puthing it.

[[...now she is just confused.]]

Sollux. Buckets are used during mopping and cleaning. Or washing cars. Carrying dirt around in your garden, shaping the proud towers of sand castles at the beach, storing fish you've caught while out fishing.

...I do not understand how this equates to matespritship.

I don't want to hear about all the perverthe thingth humanth do with bucketth, okay? Jutht, thtop talking about it all and don't do that in public, alright?

They're...not perverse. [[Stare.]]

I will refrain from it in the future, however. I apologize.

Yeth they are, but I already thaid I'm not eckthplaining and I meant it, it wath bad enough having to tell Thoul all about it tho he'd thtop. I'm not doing it again.

They aren't for humans, then. Buckets are everyday items. Like pencils or books or couches.

And I did not ask you to. I already agreed to talking with Karkat about it, which I will do. So do not worry yourself about it.

I already know they aren't for humanth, but it'th thtill dithguthting and you're thtill doing it and it'th jutht groth that you're broadcathting it to everyone in thith whole fucking plathe and you don't even get it!

And I never thaid I wath worried about it, okay?
