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))

Forever? You mean you... [[She was about to go into teasing about marriage, but...quickly changes her mind about that. She can't even tell him she loves him...joking about marriage is probably not the best idea.]]

Nevermind. Forever sounds nice to me John. I would like that. [[Hand squeeze!]]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, see...fortunately John already knows and has accepted the fact that he and Rose are supposed to get married. So says Karkat and his shipping diagram. And everyone agree that it would be reckless to look at a crappy shipping diagram made by an alien, and ignore its message altogether.]

Hm? I mean I what?

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? Oh nothing. I managed to forget.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...well if you remember, then let me know, okay?

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh of course. [[No, she won't.]]

So...did you want to go back to the hotel?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Please, Rose? He wants to know. :c]

If you are ready to go back then sure, that sounds good to me!

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I am ready whenever you are. So I suppose that means we should then, yes?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it does! Only question is: do you want to go the boring way or the fun way?

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm... [[Give her a moment, John. This apparently needs serious thought.]]

Well, I do have a reputation for being no fun to uphold...

Of course, a little bit of folly every now and then doesn't hurt...

[[Hmm, hmm, hmm. What to do?]]

I think I will take option two, Mister Egbert.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Shhh, Rose. I know, it's okay. [He turns their entwined hands over and pats hers with his free hand, a very serious look on his face.] Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the day that Miss Booksmarts McNofunpants let herself have a little fun.

And fortunately, nobody will be able to see you the fun way. Your reputation is safe. [He looks up.] Elliot! Can you take us back to the hotel, please?



Hold on! [He flashes her a smile as Elliot begins to move forward and float down out of the tree.]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh John. [[She brings her free hand to her forehead in a mock swoon.]] Whatever would I do without you as my friend? All of my reputations would surely be tarnished! People would know that I am not as dark and gloomy as I seem. That I do indeed delight in having 'fun' once in a while. That things such as 'smiles' and 'laughter' exist within my capabilities. I would simply be ruined.

[[Hold on? John, you shouldn't have said that, because she's taking advantage of it like it was an offer. Your arm? Now within the gasp of hers.]]

Oh goodness.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I am a regular hero, alright. The defender of Rose's spooky and grimdark reputation. I have cover-up stories ready for every smile or giggle that may escape you. It's okay, Don't worry. John will make it so that it never happened.

[Well maybe it was an offer and maybe that's what he was secretly hoping for. While his one arm is occupied by Rose, his other is wrapped tightly around Guile. Don't worry, girl, John will keep you safe too!]

Told you.

[And once they "hit the ground" they're floating off towards the hotel. Welcome to the Duskmobile, Rose. Or should we call it a Dusk Buggy?]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh swoon! How lucky I am. I must be the luckiest girl in all of Johto to have such a talented creator of alibis as my boyfriend.

[[Guile chirps and wiggles happily, licking at John's hand.]]

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Just doing my job, ma'am. Just doing my job. [Yeah, he totally just tipped his invisible hat there. And he still looks oh-so-serious about all this.]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Doof to the face + laugh combo get.]]

You are completely ridiculous.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
And I respect your opinion. Although I, equally as respectively, must disagree with it. I am not ridiculous at all, and most certainly not completely so.

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we must agree to disagree, because I full insist that you are.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess that's just what we will have to do then. So let us agree now to never again speak of my ridiculousness, supposed or otherwise.

[He holds out his pinky. This is not at all ridiculous and he is completely serious about this.]

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Glancing at his pinky, she chuckles and hooks hers with it.]] I suppose I am able to withhold such comments for such a dashing and dapper gentleman as yourself. A man who knows the value of a pinky swear is surely to be worth it.

[A single bobbing of their entwined pinkies. There, you just shook on it, Rose. John is holding you to your word. Pinkie swears are serious business, okay?]

As is a lady who respects just how important such an unbreakable vow is. Surely she is the most worthy. Also the most beautiful and elegant, but that's another matter entirely and has nothing to do with pinky swears.

Action;

[identity profile] usedtherapy.livejournal.com 2011-08-05 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[[Glancing oh-so-shyly away, she places a free hand to her chest and laughs softly again.]]

My, my. You have such a way with your insinuations, Mister Egbert. I am positively flattered. Unless of course, there was another lady in which you were speaking of.

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Another lady? Never. It pains me to think that you would even entertain such an idea, Rose. The notion is simply absurd! [He turns his head away, placing the back of his palm to his forehead, looking distraught.] I didn't even mean what I said as mere flattery! Those were true, heartfelt words of sincerity, Rose.

[SOB SOB.]

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[[Okay, remember when she was 'swooning' earlier? And how a moment ago she looked oh so 'shy'? Those were both in jest.

This blush? Not so.]]


...my apologies, John. I merely do not receive such kind words often enough to become adjusted to hearing them. You do forgive for such foolish thoughts, don't you?

Action;

[identity profile] usedwindything.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[A small grin spreads across his face as he turns to look at her again, hand falling slightly away from his face.]

Of course I forgive you. Though this means that I will now have to take on the additional duty of adjusting you to kind words. It's okay though, I am sure that I can both that and protect your somber reputation, have no fear.

[Just a head's up, Rose. You're going to be getting and texts from John every day now. Plus a few other random ones such as throughout the day.]

Action;

[identity profile] wizardprose-c.livejournal.com 2011-08-06 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm relieved, though you most certainly are held accountable for no such thing. I appreciate the gesture, but truly you don't have to.

[[Oh god.]]
