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

["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 [livejournal.com profile] ghostythespian , don't be surprised! ♥))

Pretty much that, yeah.

I mean -- I got'er a gift too, but now that I look back, I bet it would've worked if I didn't.

[Nah, he just has balls. :| ... when he wants to. 8|]

An Eevee. I don't think she's hatched it yet, though...

[He looks to the side, with a little sigh. Yup, he's just figuring she doesn't like it. 'A'a]

Oh...well maybe she just hasn't had time! I have a few eggs that I haven't hatched yet. [Sooouuuullll. don't think that, it's probably not you!]

But, you really think it's not too much to give a gift right off the bat like that?

Maybe that's it. [BUT WHAT IF IT IS, JOHN ;A; you do not understand the coolkids plight, you are too dorky]

Nah, not if it's something small. I mean you could get'er something big if you want, but... I'd get her somethin' small to start with.

Maybe a book she wants. ... That's what I'd get Maka, and they're pretty similar, you know?

I don't know that still seems kind of...forward to me. [But what does he know? AFTER ALL, HE'S JUST A DORK. ;A;]

If you really think it will work, though, I guess I could try it.

I do, dude. Trust me.

She might get kinda flustered -- bein' the kinda girl she is -- but if she likes you back, you know? It should work.

Rose? Flustered? Ha. Funny. [Rose doesn't get flustered, Soul. That's his job.] That's what I'm worried about, though. The whole "liking me back" part.

You're worried you'll make yourself look dumb or something, huh?

... Just do it anyway. You're pretty much the only person she's been hanging out with these past few weeks -- there's a real good chance she likes you back!

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-05-29 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well there's that. That is a thing that would likely happen. [He's good at making himself look dumb.] But really it's more the fact that she could...never mind. You're probably right.

...

Dude, trust me. She's so much like Maka that they're practically clones -- so I'd know, wouldn't I?

And most of all, don't sweat about it, okay? If worst comes to worst, it's not like the world's gonna end. At most, a day or two of awkwardness. And then you guys'll go back to chilling like usual.
