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))

[[She sits and listens, unable to keep a smile from her face as he rambles on and on. Giving him a few minutes to calm down before she answers, she gives his hand a squeeze and scoots over just the tiniest bit closer to him.]]

I would not like to go on a second date, John.

[[And this is taking all her nerve to follow through with it, so have some patience. She's just going to lean her head on your shoulder and reach up to tuck a bit of stray hair behind her ear.]]

I would love to.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Patient or not, that little pause there kind of caused his heart to stop beating. He sat there the entire time, muscles tensed and hoping that she would end that statement with the typical cliché.]

[And when she did, his entire body relaxed and he gave a small, shaky laugh in relief.]


I'm glad to hear that. Um...but like I said, I kind of have something in mind but we need to be in Goldenrod to do it. Sooooo...

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
[[Sorry John. She simply had to get up the courage to say 'love'. And...to lean on your shoulder like that.]]

Mmm, well. I am perfectly willing to wait. I know it will be worth it.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well I don't know about worth it but...I hope you will enjoy it. So does that mean that you don't want me to tell you what it is until we get back?

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure I will. And that's up to you. I can't say that I'm adverse to surprises, but it would also be a lie to say that I'm not excited to know what it is.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? Because I kind of want to surprise you but if you really want to know then I don't want to make you wait...

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
Positive. If you would like to keep it a surprise, then we will do just that. [[A squeeze of his hand again, and sitting back to give him a wink.]]

I promise, it'll be fine.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[And a hand squeeze in return.] Alright then, if that's what you want. Heh, I guess we will just have to hurry back to Goldenrod then, won't we?

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose we will. Meaning I need to challenge the gym sometime soon.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
Heheheh, do you need me to push you in the door the way you basically did with me? [Bit of a teasing smirk, there.]

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-a.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly owe you the right, don't I? [[An equally teasing smirk in return.]]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
No but see, it's not really the same unless I get a week of dragging you out to train until god-knows-when in the morning beforehand.

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-a.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well John, you do still have that birthday IOU you've yet to use. So if you really wanted to...

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
I...do? [Yeah guess who...kind of forgot about that IOU, Rose. There's a reason he never cashed in on it, and it's because Gamzee hit him with a rock.] But regardless, I really don't want to be stuck here another week. Besides, you don't really need the training. I'm pretty sure Halos could take out all three of his birds in one shot.

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-a.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, you do. Did you forget? [[Chuckling, she gently nudges him with her shoulder.]] And yes, I'm sure he easily could. I'm really not worried. I've been putting it off in favor of just...trying to stay cool I suppose.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
No! I didn't forget. Just um... [Trying to think of a good excuse here.] ...okay, yeah I forgot. But it's not like I meant to, honest! I still don't really remember most of my birthday. [Unconsciously, he scratches at the back of his head a little. In the place where, if you were to shave his head, you would find a tiny white scar. Gamzee's birthday present.] It's all kind of fuzzy. But I really don't blame you. It's hard to find the motivation to do anything in this heat.

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-u.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
...you...don't? [[She's not offended or anything...she's kind of sad.]] Well...do you happen to remember the notes we passed back and forth?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
That was...when we were sitting in the pokécenter, right? On opposite sides? [Here we go, all coming back to him now. Just needed a little prompting.] And then...yeah. Yeah I remember doing that. I just don't remember what any of the notes actually said.

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-m.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Ah. I see. [[Resting her head on his shoulder again, she falls quiet for a few moments.]]

...if you wanted to go back to the hotel, I...did save those. I mean...it's probably a pretty silly thing to be interested in, but if you were, I certainly wouldn't mind...er...yeah.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
...You did?

[Excuse him while he is completely blown away by this revelation.]

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-u.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
[[And don't mind her while she just...tries to hide slightly against you, yup.]]

...yes. I did.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He says nothing for a few minutes, still just trying to let that register. And once it finally does, John realizes something.]

[They weren't dating on his birthday.]

[That was kind of the only present he wanted and it wasn't until months later that he would actually get that present. So why would Rose...]


Oh...um. That's...not silly at all. And I would like to see them. I kind of feel bad that I can't really remember them. I started drawing little pictures on them at some point, didn't I? Or is my brain making that up or something?

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[[Calming down considerably, she nods.]]

You did, yes. They were quite adorable. I certainly enjoyed receiving them. I attempted to draw you little things in return as well.

And don't feel bad, John. It's not your fault.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Pfftt. [Eyeroll.] I'm sure they were horrible, as always. You know I can't draw.

And I know it's not my fault but still. You seemed kind of upset about it.

[And he pretty much hates it when you're upset. Especially if it's because of something he did.]

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Only a tad, John. And it wasn't so much that you forgot, as it was...well. I suppose it is that you forgot, but not because I am upset with you.

[[Rubbing her thumb along the side of his hand a little, she shrugs a bit.]]

It just...was kind of a special moment we shared. Or at least I feel it was. And it's a little sad that you don't have that memory...or not the full one.

And they were cute.
