first prank ≈ video.

[greenghost]

[For a long time, there is muttering and shuffling, and no real discernible speech. Just a view from the ground of tree tops, green and bright in the summer weather, from where a New Feather's journal lays open.]

[If one listens closely, they may here complaints about Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan and fallen angels.]

[A moment later, a curious face swims into view of a boy with pale skin, blue eyes behind thick-rimmed rectangular glasses, and a shock of wildly messy black hair. His expression shifts quickly from curious to annoyed.]

Oh, that explains a lot.

[A disgruntled sigh.]

The script is blank!! Am I writing my own City of Angels, wherein Nicolas Cage has tiny useless blue wings??

[He sits back and falls mostly out of the journal's view.]

This movie is going to suck. Just sayin'.

[[ooc; Please check John's permissions post and let me know what you're okay with! Thank you. :>]]

Mm...though I don't really see much of a point to them. You can't really fly with them.

[Video]

[greenghost]

They're probably like some kind of weird stupid tracking collar or something. So they can tell who they brought here? I dunno. I mean yeah, they're definitely way too small to carry a person-- I'm kind of small and they'd never get me off the ground, 'cept for maybe a three-second hover that would be mostly jumping and gravity.

[lostpunk]

That one wasn't really an insult. It was a statement.

Are you already wanting to bring out the big guns?

Re: [video]

[chibifalenas]

I AM awfully young to be a Queen. But when there's no one else to do it because the previous one is dead...

[She just sighs]

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Apparently you're not workin' on it enough if your biggest gripes are the wings and shoes. Get shoes, cover the wings. Bam, now they're not issues!

[lunas]

Oh, so they're pretty smart robots if they know that they have to hide like that! I like how this movie sounds so far..!

[dragoneer]

Well, as far as food goes, your best bet is Seventh Heaven. They can pretty much make anything you want--oh, and it's all free. And you can pretty much pick any empty place to stay that you want. There's a map of empty spaces in the Welcome Center.

...Which is probably where you should head first. After you find clothes, I mean.

[ratpack]

No problem. You can call me Gordo. Nice to meet you, sort of.

[And he's out, making a quick stop to the store to find himself a flashlight. Not going into the woods because then he'd just get lost and be no help at all. Let's play it smart, man.]

[abstruse]

I couldn't agree more!

[Video]

[moezama]

That would make sense...but they already put barcodes on us. They put it behind our necks, so people hardly ever notice it, but it's there.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Yeah.

I'm Emil! What's your name?

[video]

[so_shik]

That's not even the creepiest thing they're capable of.

Not unless you're a cartoon character. [And in this thread, Shiki inadvertently breaks a lot of fourth walls.] Trust me, if I don't have something you like, I can definitely make it.

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

...how many of these books did you say there were?

[video]

[grapecape]

You'll find that here and more.

[now just gotta wait for him to work his way nearer...]

[ video ]

[greenghost]

Gordo? Funny name. Sounds kinda familiar.

[Thoughtful face. But he shrugs, and keeps kind of awkwardly simpering along through the woods because really. Stickers and twigs and crap, and no shoes? This is lame.]

[video]

[greenghost]

Seven! And the sixth movie comes out in July.

[John it's not 2009 anymore.]

[video]

[greenghost]

[Making a face, John opts to mostly disregard this creepy notion. Nope, ignoring the existence of the Malnosso for right now, okok.]

[And then he kind of cracks up laughing.]

Man, you know they do, don't they. Always the same outfit. Doesn't that get all smelly and gross???

video;

[greenghost]

Yeah clothes are a definite first.

But, dude. Okay. Free food, free board? This place might not be as lame as I thought. There's gotta be a catch.

wow I could have swore I tagged this /)_(\

[arcinvent]

Guess it would for some. [Kids do have the most active imaginations.] This place ain't just a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. Word is that we're in a large-scaled experimental area.

[ video ]

[ratpack]

Really? I've never met any other Gordos. [Probably because it's not a real first name and not his, but details!

He's out near the edge of the woods and he'll just wait. He's got clothes, a blanket, and that flashlight.]

no worries! i've been pretty slow, myself. :>

[greenghost]

Experimental? What the heck would somebody want with a thirteen year old that likes playing pranks on people?

I mean I guess there is the fact that I probably destroyed the Earth on complete accident by playing a video game, but, ahaha. Most people don't really know that.

video;

[dragoneer]

[Ah, yeah. The catch.]

There...definitely is. Because you're sort of here to be experimented on. [Pause.] Aaaaand you may have to go battle. Just a fair warning.

[ video ]

[greenghost]

I might just be thinking of Gordon.

[This might be a good time for me to ask if you're cool with fourth-walling.]

[video]

[so_shik]

You'd think so. I know when I had to wear the same thing for weeks it kind of got super-gross, but maybe the laws of cartoons are different. [John you are kind of precious.]

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

...so there really are books predicting my future. Fantastic. You didn't happen to read the last one, did you?
