prank #2 | video/action for cherrygrove  
[A video feed clicks on revealing a picture of...the ground. A pair of bright red sneakers with flames on the side are also visible peeking out from under a pair of dark jeans. A Dunsparce crawls into frame and stares(?) up at the camera curiously(?).]

Okay I think this is on...uhm. Hi everyone! It's John, and I finally made it to Cherrygrove! Aradia showed me how to use the video function, so this time you can actually see me instead of me typing all this out. Isn't that great!?

[A Pidgey joins the Dunsparce on frame, also looking up at the camera with a look that can only be described as exasperated. Clearly it does not approve of this utter failure of a video.]

Yeah, this is great. Except...I don't really have much to say. The trip was pretty much uneventful. I caught a Pidgey though! I named him Tripp after Matthew McConaughey's character in Failure to Launch. You know, because he's a bird. Failure to Launch. Bird. Get it? Haha! Come over here Tripp so they can see you. Come on.

[The Pidgey gives John (who is still off-screen except for his shoes) an 'are you serious look' and doesn't move.]

Okay well it looks like he's feeling kind of camera shy right now. Same with Colonel Sassacre...what are you both doing down there anyway? Okay well whatever, that's really all I have to say at the moment. Vriska if you're still in Cherrygrove I guess I'll meet you at the inn or something. You did wait for me, right? Right?!

[The video feed clicks off.]

i have no idea how to work this thing, so i really hope this is a memo or something.
because i could use some help right now.

i'm john, and i really don't know what's going on.
i was waiting on some delicious lasagna and trying to help my friend jade enter the medium, and then suddenly i was here.
so confusing.

i was told this is the world of pokémon, but this looks nothing like the game i remember playing!!!!!!!!
and i don't remember this pokémon being in the game either.
i thought you got to pick your starter and i don't remember this little guy being one of the options.
i didn't even get a choice either, it was just kind of...here.
it keeps saying "dunsparce" over and over again. what does that even mean?

under normal circumstances, this would be fun and i think i'd enjoy it here...
but i was in the middle of something kind of important back home.
life-or-death situation kind of important.
so i really need to get back so i can help my paradox sister.
i kind of already killed her once in an alternate timeline and i don't want to do that again.


((OOC: for those unfamiliar with the Homestuck series, John does not use capitalization when he types. Though I'm sure a lot of you are used to the typing quirks and colorful courier text by now.))
