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))

Are you sure it's still a ghost if it can do those things? That's not very... ghost-like.

Well...I guess if that's the case, can you really call any of the ghost-types actual ghosts? They don't really fit the typical description. For one thing, they're born just like any other pokémon. Well most of them are. Shedinja is an exception, but all the others are born from eggs. So maybe that's why they can do things that you wouldn't expect of a real ghost.

I guess that would depend on what the definition of ghost is in this place. I mean, the pokémon don't normally condone to normal definitions, so it's a little tricky to tell what is what.

True. I've just kind of stopped questioning things here. It's better to just go with it than try and make sense of it in some cases.

The more you make sense of it, the less it does, and then you get even more confused.

Exactly. I think the time shenanigans are the worst, luckily I don't have to deal with those too often, though.

The time shenanigans? [Blinking there. What are you talking about?]
