[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.))

...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.]

Glad to see you are enjoying yourself.

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?

Indeed. I felt it fitting for John. And when one has immunity from being pranked herself, it is no wonder I found it a tempting opportunity to seize.

[Karkat's whole face is red.]

Oh my fucking god.

I know you--but that's--that's obscene. You're the earth human equivalent of six sweeps old, guys!

[From somewhere off-screen there is a somewhat playful whining.]

What!? Rose!! This is such a betrayal of trust, I don't even-! No more immunity for you! [Yeah, it's a bluh bluh huge betrayal, but he really can't help but be impressed, deep down.]

Obscene? Karkat, how is this obscene?

[[She really has no idea what she's done wrong, but at the insinuation she was doing something so terrible with John lights up her own cheeks.]]

That's--you--

[Oh god, does he really have to explain this to someone?]

[The feed cuts a moment, then returns, filtered.]

Buckets are uh... Th-they... You...

I-in a concupiscent relation, relationship, er.

Damnit.

[[At the mention of flushed feelings in relation to how this could be obscene, she glances over her shoulder a moment. Returning her attention to the 'gear, she seems to curl up a little, almost as if trying to hide the fact she has it. She also drops her voice.]]

Wait wait wait--

This has to deal with relationships? I'm worried now. What exactly have I managed to get him and myself wrapped into with this video?

[[Cheeks still blushing - darkening slightly even - and a genuine look of concern is etched onto it. She certain, certainly, does not want anyone - no matter the cultural barriers - getting the wrong idea about her and John here.]]

...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!

[Karkat drops his voice as well, because it's easier to discuss that way.]

W-well. Reproduction. For trolls.

[He can't even look her in the face as he rushes out an explanation.]

When the Imperial Drone comes knocking, he has two buckets for the two concupiscent quadrants, and a troll must supply each bucket with genetic material together with their partners for said quadrants or else they're culled. The buckets are then taken to the Mother Grub, who combines it into an incestuous slurry and then lays thousands of eggs.

[Breeeaaathe.]

Then you. You. Dumped a bucket. Of liquid. On him.

[Sooo red in the face.]

Morons, both of you.

[ But hey, he's snorting. POSSIBLY laughing a little bit. But only a bit. ]

Lamest trick in the book, but Lalonde pulled a decent one. Props.

I-it--!

[[Dropping her voice quickly again, glancing a second over her shoulder.]]

It was just water. Just water. And....

I can't decide if that is better or worse than what I was expecting. Or perhaps it is along the same vein.

...you don't.

Do you think the rest of the trolls would be more offended rather than...jump to any conclusions of their own?

... As stupid as some of them are, they probably will.

[Aradia doesn't mind pranks! In fact, she kind of enjoys them. But this? Well, this is just awkward. She's just going to stare at her 'gear in stunned silence. And blushing? Yes. Blushing is definitely a thing that is going on here.]

[[She seems relieved by this, rubbing her face with a hand. Stopping mid rub however as a thought occurs to her, and she glances back down at the Pokegear.]]

....K-karkat. You've never.

Do you--

Does John know about that?

[Apparently Rose has no intention of talking to you Dave, as she almost immediately hands the pokégear to John as soon as she sees the message. He quirks an eyebrow, but then when he sees the caller ID on the screen, he brightens up, excitedly pressing the phone to his ear.]

Hey, Dave! What's up, man?

[John, know about buckets, while having one dumped on his head?]

[He hides his face in a palm, blush somehow worsening further.]

Oh god. I--I hope not. He's. He's stupid enough that, that he might not. If no one else told him.

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

[[Meanwhile Rose just looks mortified.]]

He...He didn't seem to? I mean, there was that one pause...but he was probably just...

Ohgosh.

Fuck.

You.

G-go make sure he's. That. Go.
