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))

[[Laughing softly, she shakes her head as she happily walks beside him, patting his hand a little.]] While I do speak some French, mon chéri, that was not French.

Oh. Heh, oops. [Bit of a sheepish blush.] What was it, then?

It's simple English, John. It means "a man who is loved".

Wait, that was English? That didn't sound like English. [Punching the button for the elevator now.] But I like what it means.

Indeed it was. There are many words that are English, but don't sound as such. This mostly comes from the fact that our words are drawn from other languages, such as Latin.

Specifically, inamorato comes from the Italian word of the exact same sound, innamorato, which means both "in love with" or "boyfriend".

[[Humming lightly as the elevator arrives and the doors open, she steps inside, pulling him along with her.]]

Have I ever told you how smart you are? Because you're really smart.

[Wheeee elevator ride.]

Not so much smart as well-studied, John. You could know such things too if you took the time to look into it.

[Shrug.] Maybe. I still think you're really smart though. The smartest person I know, actually.

Well I am flattered you think so then. [[She fidgets a moment, seemingly fighting with herself on something, before the elevator comes to a stop and the door opens. Sighing quietly, she tugs him out the door and down the hall.]]

Hopefully I can continue impressing you then.

[Aaand following, wheeeee.]

I am sure that you will. You could pretty much just stand there and breathe and it would impress me. That's how impressive you are.

Please John. I am hardly that impressive. [[At the door to the room, she opens it and allows him inside. There is a chorus of happy Pokemon noises at their arrival, especially cheerful trills from Derptini, who is now squirming his way over to them.]]

I say otherwise. [Once inside, John is more than happy to bend over and scoop the wriggling dragon into his arms.] And I'm sure that this John here would agree with me too.

John. He is impressed by everything. [[Laughing and petting the Dratini's head, she moved to the couch and sat down, patting the spot beside her as Guile took her lap, Nartac took her shoulders, and Haze buried against her other side. They all receive pets in turn.]] The journals are over here. Come sit.

Yes, and you are included in everything. So there. John and John win, Rose is impressive. Isn't that right, buddy? [He scratches the little dragon on the nose. Keeping Derptini in his arms, he then follows Rose over to the couch and sits down. Once there, he releases the dragon into his lap so that he's free to move elsewhere if he chooses.]

[[He chirps in response, and seems pretty happy where he is. Though he does cryyyy at his mommy for pets, which he gets. Then she opens the door on the table end and retrieves one of her journals.

From within this journal she pulls (http://i.imgur.com/X0JPt.png) out (http://i.imgur.com/hLQ8n.jpg) six (http://i.imgur.com/r88Q9.png) separate (http://i.imgur.com/brtIr.jpg) little (http://i.imgur.com/D8J3F.png) notes (http://i.imgur.com/zzdvx.jpg), handing them to John...just a little bit shyly.]]

Here...they've been kept in order.

Thanks. [He takes the papers and begins reading. Surprisingly, his face remains relatively blank throughout reading them, though there's a slight blush as he reads the last note that he sent. Oh man, he cannot believe that he wrote that one scribbled out part...what was he thinking?!]

That's right...I remember now. Dave came over and started punching me after this one, didn't he? [He looks over at her (cheeks still pink) and holds up the last sheet of paper.] That's why it stops here, isn't it?

[[She watches him the whole time, hoping for a little more than a simply blank look...but not going to complain. His question earns a nod.]]

Indeed, that is.

[It was just blank because he was focusing on trying to remember, more than actually taking in what the words on the page meant. He glances over the papers once more, a small smile appears on his face.]

I'm really glad that you kept these. And thank you for showing them to me. I still feel bad that I forgot but I remember now so...yeah. Thanks. [And now you are getting an awkward sideways hug, Rose. It's especially awkward since he's trying not to move too much and upset Derptini.]

Edited 2011-08-07 08:53 (UTC)

[[She hesitates a moment before returning the hug, wrapping her arms around his shoulders for a tight squeeze.]]

...I'm glad.

[[And there's that bit of internal conflict again, though this time she resolves it fairly quickly, and this ends in a quick peck to his cheek.]]

[And that only serves to make his cheeks glow even brighter and his smile grow even wider as he makes a happy sort of chirping "hee" that Derptini would be proud of.]

[[That "hee" gets a few chirps from Derptini, and he decides to get in on the affection. Have some face licks from the loving Dratini, John. Rose, meanwhile, has gone back to sitting beside him, chuckling as she watches the dragon shower him with slobbery adoration.]]

Ah, hey! Derptini! [Even though his tone says "stop that," it only says so halfheartedly. And he's certainly not doing anything to physically stop the dragon. In fact, once he spies an opening he actually gives Derptini a lick in retaliation.]

[[And now it's on. John, you are getting wiggled against and licked absolutely incessantly. Hope that's okay.

His trainer is just going to laugh. Mere chuckles no longer fit this situation.]]

Ahh! No, stop! Please, Derptini! John! Vodka! Johntini! [If he goes through a list of names will that make him more likely to stop? This really is starting to tickle.]

[[Nope. Still not stopping. Hearing his name only makes him that much happier.

However, Rose finally steps in to help, her tone stern.]]

John. You stop that right this second.

[[Stopping and looking back at Rose, he whimpers a little and wilts, but stops.]]

Good. Now apologize.

[[John, you are getting very sorry nuzzles.]]
