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. :>]]

Is it...like a computer, then?

[Augh computers HIS WEAKNESS.]

[arcinvent]

"Lame" is putting it mildly. One thing for sure is that this is no game.

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

Of course I knew that! But so what, there's more than one.

[video]

[so_shik]

[Ah, she might.] You'd be surprised what a good outfit can do for your wings.

[voice]

[poorqueequeg]

If you do, I'll definitely read it. Maybe if you can bring it with you somehow when you get home, you can make a pitch to a movie company? I'd watch it, if I catch wind of it. I think there's an acting group here too, if you want to write something for them in the vein of a Nic Cage film. They'd probably take it up and act it out.

[voice]

[greenghost]

[He just laughs, for a second.]

I don't actually know if I could write a movie script, though. I mean I'm only thirteen, I don't think that's an age that people are gonna take me seriously at if I try to submit something like that.

[video]

[greenghost]

Yeah that's kind of a thing. But, uh, yeah. There's three of them, they exist, yadayada.

[video]

[greenghost]

[Just don't start videotaping him in various outfits, he might get really freaked out.] Oh, right, the wings...

[He looks over his shoulder at them and flinches when he shifts them.] They're a pain in the butt. ...or spine, whichever you prefer.

[greenghost]

I think I'm starting to understand that. So everybody has these wings? And something about experiments?

[greenghost]

Not... exactly? I guess they're actually really confusing.

I'll show you if I can find it. [Which he won't, but he'll try to explain it anyway, probably.]

video;

[dragoneer]

Really? [Oh, sweet.] That'd be great. I'd really like to see what it does.

[video]

[so_shik]

The pain'll ease up after a while once you get used to them. All I can say is just don't sleep on your back for a while.

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

I'm aware there's three of them! Any idiot who doesn't know the Tale of the Three Brothers is an imbecile. [Or a Muggle. Same thing.] Though...[Hmm. He shakes his head.] Too bad I can't ask Hermione anything.

[voice]

[poorqueequeg]

You could always lie. I'd be impressed to know that someone that young could write an amazing film script, at least. [Probably not too good to encourage lying, though. :|a] I know of young authors too. It wouldn't be too strange.

[greenghost]

It's pretty boss, I'm not gonna lie.

[voice]

[greenghost]

Hahaha, well maybe I'll give it a go, then.

I'm John Egbert, by the way.

[dragoneer]

It sounds pretty handy. I'd like to not have to carry my tools around in a bag with my every time I need them.

video;

[greenghost]

It totally beats out pockets.

video;

[dragoneer]

You wouldn't happen to know how to make them, would you?

video;

[greenghost]

Wh-- a Sylladex? No way, I don't know that kind of stuff.

video;

[dragoneer]

[Rats.] Well, I guess I'll stick with good, old reliable pockets for now.

[voice] so, so slow ;; sorry about that

[poorqueequeg]

I'll be looking forward to reading - or seeing - it.

Dana Scully, it's nice to meet you.
