prank #17 | FOURTH WALL EVENT | video/action for goldenrod

[ghostytrainer]

["John" doesn't seem to notice the fact that he's turned the camera on, despite the fact that he's staring right at it. Strange. Apparently he also thought that hair clips are an awesome fashion statement and that he needed to grow his hair out just the tiniest bit. Stranger still.]

--ure you don’t need help finding the games? Really, it will only take me a second.

[But not the strangest thing yet, as apparently he can now talk without moving his lips. And also make it sound like he's sitting a few feet aw--wait a minute.]

No, I am fine, John. You should quit changing the topic.

[Well alright then. It's pretty clear that the person on the screen is not John Egbert, despite the overwhelming similarities.]

I wasn't changing the subject! You just looked like you were having trouble and I thought I could help. But look, Joan! I am getting right back on topic now and answering your question. And the answer is "yes, I do like her." [He pauses.] I just...don't know what to do about it.

[At this point, the girl (her name is Joan, apparently) puts the pokegear down on the ground. This talk is far too serious to have while looking for games. So have a lovely view of the sky, Johto. Also some grass and the face of a curious Vulpix peering down at the device from her place in Joan's lap.]

Hm...that is a problem, but that is why I am here. Do you think she likes you back?

I...don't know honestly. I don't see why she would but then again she has been spending a lot of time with me over the past few months. Though that could just be because we are friends.

Maybe the way she spends time with you means she does like you back! No, scratch that, she DOES like you back. Lalondes are pretty reclusive. They have to really like you to let you in their snooty club, obviously.

Do you really think so? [His voice brightens considerably. At least until...] So what...do I do about that?

Yes! Hm... You need to spend all of your money and take her on the best date ever.

Oh I don't... I mean. Hey let's talk about something else? Tell me more about the giant space station...what was it again? Sacrosont? Sascorant? Or your universe! Tell me again about what a pretty girl Dave is, I think I still have a few more laughs in me for that.

No! God, John, look at me. Do you want her to be your girlfriend or not?

I...oh shit. Joan what did you press? [John's face appears on the screen for a second, slightly paler than normal, before the feed clicks off.]


((OOC: Singularity's Joan will be joining me for this post, so you may be tagged by her or John or possibly both! So if you get a tag from ghostythespian , don't be surprised! ♥))

[She looks pretty excited about this for a moment...

but wait. 8|]

What if there isn't a whole lot you can buy for this someone? I mean, Jo--...

[Eying John now.]

Er. He isn't really interested in a whole lot! And what he is interested in, he can usually...just buy himself.

Then he must serenade her.

WHAT?! Joan, are you serious?

[Also, who is that on the screen? Oh god it's Rose. WHYYYYY? Wait...what is she wearing?]

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

Oh of course!

[Why hadn't she thought of that? That's the most obvious answer.]

That's how it's always done in the movies, right?

Video;

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

[IS JOHN SAYING SOMETHING? SRY SHE CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF ROSS ROSE AGREEING.]

Exactly! Or maybe he can stand outside next to her bedroom window and play some romantic music from a boombox. Rose Lalonde would be swooning in no time.

Video;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

[YES, JOAN HE IS SAYING SOMETHING. HE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE ASKING HER OUT, THE THOUGHT OF SERENADING HER IS JUST...]

But Joan, we stay in hotel rooms here. If I do that, then I will end up serenading the entire hotel and I would really rather avoid that.

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. I know I would be swooning!

[Giggling, then blinking.]

Maybe you should take her on a picnic! Late at night, with all the stars out! And then you can serenade her then.

[ Someone was not taking notes.

Uh this looks like Rose. Okay. SHE CAN DO THIS. Is this her Rose? Did they land another freaky weird kid? ]

Hey chica. Sup?

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

[Likely not your Rose, no, but hey. She's still an Egbert at least, and certainly recognizes the familiar red of Jade!]

Oh hi Jade! Not much is up really, except all these Pokemon. Which is pretty cool! I bet John would like it.

Video;

[supbroski.livejournal.com]

[ Well, she recognized Jade and didn't attempt to get her to change into green or wear regular glasses or anything. IT'S A START. ]

Oh good, you know who I am! I mean. You always know who I am, but people here keep saying I'm some dude's girl and I have to remind them that Jade motherfucking Strider doesn't hook up with just anyone, you know what I'm saying?

John? Yeah. Probably, if he was awake for it.

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

Of course not! You're too cool for that, hehe! But why wouldn't John be awake for it? He's always up pretty early, being the bookworm and all.

Video;

[supbroski.livejournal.com]

Uh.

I don't know whose John you're talking about, but freezy breezy John Harley is up at weird hours with his freaky dreambot. You know, the one we keep telling him to fix?

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

...John Harley? But it's Dave with the shitty dreambot. John Lalonde is always buried in his books and horror films.

Video;

[supbroski.livejournal.com]

Um.



No.

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

...uhm, yes.

Video;

[supbroski.livejournal.com]

Okay, this must be some time shit. Because in my world, you're...you, and then John is a Harley and Dave's a Lalonde.

Video;

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

That is a fantastic idea.

[She looks at John and points at Rose Egbert.]

See, this is a chick that knows how romance works. Make it work, lover boy.

Video;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Sooooo is that the type of date that you would like to go on, Rose? Do you think my Rose would like something like that?

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

I bet she would! I would definitely like that, yes. [Not that her John would take her on a date like that pout pout.]

Oh! Or maybe you could take her to a movie! Oh wait, she's a Lalonde, right? She doesn't really watch movies, does she? That is kind of weird, thinking of me as a Lalonde.

Well, I bet she would watch a movie with you anyway. John is always willing to read books that I am interested in if I ask him to, so!

Video;

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

Going to movies together is a bit overdone, though. Not that it isn't nice, it's just not that romantic.

Video;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

What if we had a stay-in movie night type of thing instead? That's not overdone, is it? Would that be better?

[Give him advice, girls. John does not understand ~romance~]

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

It is totally not overdone. [Man, she would kill be taken out to the movies!]

Especially if it's a Lalonde, right? They never leave their rooms, and are always buried in their books and shitty horror films.

Video;

[ghostythespian.livejournal.com]

It totally is, but maybe John here can cook a delicious dinner for them to fix that.

Video;

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Uh...yeah. Okay sure. I can do that. [Hopefully. 8|]

But wait, what do you mean? Rose doesn't really like movies, regardless of genre. Books, yes but movies...not so much. I mean, come on, she hates "Little Monsters." How can you hate that movie?

Video;

[seerofthewind.livejournal.com]

...."Little Monsters"? That's a terrible movie, John. You're just as bad as my John!

And it totally isn't, but a dinner would probably be a good idea too. Ooohh what about a candlelit dinner? I bet she would like that!
