prank #19 | video / action for Dave if he's in the hotel room.
[For once, there is no smile on John's face when he turns on the video feed. Instead there is a look of tired, barely-restrained panic on his face. Also unusual are the stacks of books surrounding him. Someone went to the library. Someone found every book they could on ghosts and legends.]
[Someone stayed up all night reading all those books, and it definitely shows.]
[Barely visible on the couch behind him is a lavender-clad body laid out on the couch. The face isn't visible, but to anyone who knows her, the clothes should be recognizable as those of Rose Lalonde.]
Has... [His voice is the tiniest bit shaky. He's really trying his hardest to stay calm here.] Anyone figured anything out yet? About the people who were taken, I mean? And how to get them back? I talked to a few people about it last night but...heh, it's a different day now, right? [There's a very forced, weak laugh.] I read every book I could find...but they aren't telling me anything more than the pokédex did.
[It's a little late for "don't look in their backs."]
So...yeah. If anyone knows something, I would appreciate it.
[He gives the camera once last slightly desperate look before clicking it off.]

[video]
[He frowns and opens his mouth to protest -- he hasn't "lost" anyone, it's only temporary, they're gonna be back soon, they're not lost -- but then he realizes it's not the best time for denial. Biting his lip, he slowly nods.]
[video]
[There's just no way that everyone in Johto is at a complete loss on what to do. He hopes not, anyway.]
The waiting game just...really sucks.
[video]
... I'm gonna bring 'em back if it's the last thing I do.
[... He seems to be quite serious about it.]
[video] he's...not as angry as this icon looks. this is the least derpy one i have that isn't sad.
Yeah. Whatever it takes.
[There's a flicker of a determined look on his face. It's not quite as strong, but he seems serious about this as well. Just in a more...subdued kind of way.]
