prank #21 | action for violet city/video

[Action for anywhere in Violet City; Around noon]

[Hello Violet city. Having a nice day? Say, have you ever seen a seven foot tall ghost before? No? Well today's your lucky day then, because there's one (a Dusknoir to be exact) floating down the street this very moment. Should you happen to be walking toward this lazily floating spectre, you might not notice anything odd at first. Though if you look at its "collar" you'll see a set of human hands grasping each side of it.]

[Strange.]

[If you stand still and continue watching, letting the ghost float past you, however, the hands will make sense as you will be greeted with the following sight:]

[Yes, this is apparently the Dusknoir equivalent of a piggyback ride, and John is having the time of his life...even though it really isn't moving any faster than he could walk on his own. In fact, it might actually be moving slower.]

[Approach? He'll just be floating around for a while and doesn't appear to be too terribly busy.]

[Video Transmission; some time later...probably about 30 minutes to an hour.]

[When the feed clicks on, the image is very dark. Like, really dark. The only thing you can actually, sort-of see is John's face. And that's only because the dim light of the pokegear screen is reflecting off of his face. It's causing some major glare issues with his glasses, so you can't really see his eyes. However, he has what is quite possibly the biggest, most excited, grin ever on his face.]

Hey, did anyone know that the zig-zag pattern on Dusknoir's body is actually some kind of mouth? [A stifled, giggling noise.] Guess where I am right now?

[The feed clicks off.]

((ooc: Since the second one can technically also be action, please specify which scenario you're doing if you're going the action route. Thanks! :D))

[[Just going to open that mouth a little more and lean in a bit with a wave.]]

Salutations, John.

You really weren't lying then, were you? You are good at this game! I thought it would take you much longer than that to find us.

[He doesn't look too upset though.]

Would I ever lie to you? Though it's good to see you at least thought of hiding within a tree. A clever tactic, especially when pitted against those you wouldn't figure could climb them. I commend you.

[[Glancing around, then back out and down the tree, she offers John a smile.]]

May I come in?

Of course you may! You're going to have to kinda...curl up a little though. There's not a ton of room in here but there should be enough for both of us. Oh, and Guile too. Heh...guess it's a good thing I let Casey stay in the hotel room. There definitely wouldn't be enough room for the four of us.

[He scoots over a little bit as Elliot opens his jaws to their full capacity to let Rose crawl inside.]

[[And carefully she does, thanking Elliot on her way, before curling up inside with him. Guile happily hops into John's lap, giving his chin a lick.]]

Why thank you, John. And it's alright. I can make myself quite tiny when I want to.

[A giggle and a small "hey!" in response to Guile before scratching her behind the ears.]

Hey, Elliot, if it's not too much trouble, can you leave your mouth open a bit so we have some light? [The ghost obliges.] Thanks!

[Aaaand turning his attention back to Rose, one hand still lazily petting Guile.]

So how did you find us so fast?

[[Guile is just going to make an assortment of happy chitters and curl up.]]

Not too long. It was the antenna of Elliot's poking out above the tree that gave you away.

[Blank stare.]

...dammit, was it really? No wonder.

Sorry to say.

[[Chuckling, she smiles.]]

But that's okay. Now I get to spend time with you in here.

M-Mmm.. [A nod.] Yeah. And this is really nice so I'm not complaining.

I'm glad. I would hate to be a bother.

[[Sighing, she wraps her arms around her legs and rests her chin on her knees, closing her eyes.]]

Thank you for allowing me to join you.

You could never be a bother! And what did you think I was going to say? "No, go away?" You didn't really even have to ask...you could have just said "scoot over, I'm joining you," and that would have been okay with me.

Well it's only polite to ask. And who knows? Perhaps this would be an occasion of "no girls allowed", hmm? An all boy Duskfort?

How old do you think I am? Five? And even if that were the case, it would be "no girls allowed except Rose," because I can't very well say no to my girlfriend now, can I? Besides, I like spending time with you!

[[Smiling again, she moves to sit next to him rather than somewhat across from him.]]

John, boys at the age of seventeen still do that. Though I'm glad I would be an exception. I was merely teasing you, however.

Even if you were just teasing, I felt that was something you needed to know.

[He gives her hand a quick sideways glance, debating with himself as to whether or not he should take it.]

So...what do you think?

[[She's none the wiser to your sideways glance.]]

It's actually quite cozy in here. Very pleasant. Even more pleasant with your company.

[Good, because he's still not sure if he should go through with it or not.]

I agree. It's definitely much nicer with you in here too. Less room, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little legroom for you. Plus, like you said. It's cozy.

Mmm. [[Relaxing back a little as best as she can, she glances out Elliot's mouth and hums a little.]]

It's also not too bad temperature wise. The shade is nice.

Yeah, I'm definitely glad for that. Because it's what...like almost ninety degrees out today?

[Okay, John. You can do this. It's just holding her hand. It's not like it's a kiss or-- oh god, don't think about kissing. Just reach over and take her hand in yours. It's not hard. You've done it before! She didn't mind last time and she won't mind this time because she's your girlfriend and she lo--likes you. She likes you. Get it right, she's never said that other L word to you. Though, then again, neither have you.]

[You've said it about her, but never to her. Maybe you should do something about that, John.]

[After a bit more internal pep-talking, he reaches over and places his hand on top of Rose's hand, attempting to be nonchalant about it.]

Heh...I mean, it's not that much cooler in here but it's better than nothing, at least.

[[Glancing down at their hands a moment, she nods and looks back out at the tree. She turns her hand over and just as nonchalantly laces their fingers.]]

Ninety degrees...ugh. This is horrid weather. And not that much cooler maybe, but yes. Most certainly better than nothing. Perhaps if we gathered a bucket of ice and set it down in here with us, that would help drop the temperature a little.

[[Taking off her jacket probably would too, but she's yet to really consider that.]]

[His heart soars a little at that, and he's more than happy to entwine his fingers with hers as well.]

The absolute worst. I don't see how anyone can stand it. That might help though. Or if one of us had an ice type. We'd be set! Pokémon air conditioning!

[[And when he does, his hand receives a little squeeze.]]

Oh yes, that's a splendid idea. I will most certainly have to keep an eye open for an ice type of some sort. Then we could pack a lunch and go on a picnic outdoors to enjoy the beautiful skies, but still remain relatively cool

Beat the heat? No, Rose and John don't just beat the heat, they slaughter it. With Pokémon. It's like Summer is the ninth gym leader and we both just got our Heat Badges.

[Give him a second to think about what he just said and realize how ridiculous it sounded.]
