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! ♥))

...."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!

Yeah, it's pretty terrible. Sorry John.

Yes! That's perfect!

What? No! "Little Monsters" is awesome. And I am sure your John would agree with me.

These are all really good ideas though...do you have anymore, Rose? What other types of dates would you like to go on?

No he wouldn't, and no it's not. Trust me John.

Me? Oh gosh. [Let's hope her John isn't here, and isn't listening, but she wants to help so she's going to tell him anyway.]

Well I always kind of liked carnivals. All of the rides look super fun, especially things like the roller coasters! And the ferris wheel has always been kind of a romantic ride, right Joan?

It does! It is just like in my Japanese animes.

I am disagreeing with the roller coaster, though. Puke is not romantic.

Oh, and John, you should also get her balloons and cotton candy.

I like the sound of that date! There's just...one problem with that. And it's a pretty big one. And that would be that there are no carnivals in Johto.

[Which is totally lame. Because a ferris wheel date would have been awesome.]

You watch those too, Joan!? [They're like. Kindred spirits! ~Kindred spirits~ Joan. Well. Except.] They're pretty cool, aren't they? I always found the manga a little better myself, but perhaps that is because I enjoy reading more.

And oh, yes, cotton candy and balloons, and mayb--aw, what? Lame!

[Johto, you disappoint her! 8C]

Yes! Oh gosh, that is so awesome. Why are you so awesome? And I like both. The anime is prettier, but the manga is usually more detailed.

Maybe you can buy her cotton candy and balloons, and rent a big, flying pokemon! You can be like Aladdin.

Oh, I know right? Though, I have to say that the animes have a slight edge over the mangas. Simply because actually being able to see the panels in motion...just. Amazing.

[Yeah, he got a little distracted there.]

Well I don't know if there's anywhere that you can rent pokemon like that. I do have a Pidgeot but I don't know that he would be able to carry both of us. But her Pidgeotto might have evolved by now. So maybe we could go flying together...oh wait. But we can't do that without the Fly HM...crap.
