prank #19 | video / action for Dave if he's in the hotel room.

[ghostytrainer]

[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.]

Yeah...that too. That's the most important part. They can come back from this.

What's your name, by the way?

O-oh, sorry. I'm Aoko. What's your name?

It's fine, there's nothing for you to apologize for! [He...almost always forgets to introduce himself. Plus you were pretty distraught.] My name is John.

Nice to meet you too, John-kun.

I...wish we could have met on better circumstances.

[He nods.]

Yeah, that would have been nice. But I still appreciate the fact that we met. Talking to people right now is...helpful.

Y-yeah, it's.....sort of calming a way. [She turns around to look at the bed behind her, and then looks back at the camera.]

[usedwindything.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm. [He nods.] And it's...nice to know that other people care. And that you're not alone.

[She nods, too. And checks the bed one more time.] Makes you feel a bit more comfortable about this.
