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! ♥))

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.

[Excuse her while she tries to imagine John as a Harley.]

.......

[Now excuse her as she breaks down into giggles.]

[ That elicits a half-smile from Jade. At least Rose's laugh is still the same. ]

Yeah, it's pretty hilarious.

John would look so ridiculous in green, and I've already seen a Dave Lalonde.

Wait, scratch that. Undo.

David Lalonde.

[Yes, she said that with all the grandeur she could muster. Just for him.]

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. Creepy dude, violet eyes, talks like he's got some reverb going on in his amplifier?

[ She swivels the video so that Rose can see David behind her. ]

Dave's a pretty sweet guy. Kinda.

He's not that creepy, Jade. I mean, yeah, it's weird that he's a Lalonde, and he's not nearly as cheery as Dave Harley, but...

Well no. Creepy might be a good adjective.

[She nods a few times when the video flashes David.]

Yeah, him! And yeah, he kind of is.

I don't know, sometimes I worry about him...the shit he's got going on. [ She shrugs. ] But I guess he can take care of himself and pull the big boy panties up.

[ Another half-smile. ]

You're not so bad yourself there, you know.

Well if he is anything like John, I'm sure he can do fine on his own! Though that doesn't mean we shouldn't try and help anyway, because he can be pretty reckless. And Dave probably can too, huh?

[!!]

O-oh. Well thank you! I'm quite fond of you too, you know.

[identity profile] supbroski.livejournal.com 2011-05-29 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he can take care of himself. [ She thinks. She's actually not really sure about that. ] I'm doing as much as I can.

[ Okay change of subject. ]

Oh? Well thanks, you know. Even if you aren't from my home, you're still pretty-- uh, pretty rad.

Video;

[identity profile] seerofthewind.livejournal.com 2011-05-29 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's all you can really do, right? So just keep doing that! I bet he appreciates it.

[Allll smiles.]

Rad, huh? You should tell that to my Jade. She thinks I'm lame.

[Not that Rose seems to mind.]

Well I mean, I'm obviously the coolest, most rockin' person to land on the planet. But you're pretty good on the cool meter just not like, god tier.

[ Which means that your Jade must obviously be losing her mind! ]
