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. :>]]

[Yeah, okay, he's not crazy. That's Draco Malfoy talking on a book. Or at the very least Tom Felton.]

...

[He rests his chin in one hand.]

Hey, at least I'm not running around getting sectum sempra'd. That was all you, dude. [This is the weirdest fucking afterlife. Or dream. Or whatever the hell.]

[greenghost]

[FACEPALM!!]

Wow, did you really just say that? And then laugh at your-- [He snickers a little, too.]

Wow.

[video]

[greenghost]

But he's supposed to be a fallen angel. What kind of fallen angel would have stupid bright highlighter blue wings? And angel wings are supposed to be all huge and majestic and crap.

[Glowers over his shoulder.]

Nothing huge or majestic about these.

[ video ]

[greenghost]

[Sort of a blank stare.]

Wow, lot of people that wanna save movies that are going to suck something seriously hardcore. This must be like shitty movie heaven or something.

I only say heaven because of the dumb wings.

[video]

[greenghost]

[Wow that dude definitely has a horn growing out of his head.]

...uh, cinema. Like moving pictures on a screen. Like TV? Imax? Theatre?

[ video ]

[lunas]

Why are the wings 'dumb', I like them, they're cute..

But I think everyone just really likes moves in here! Why wouldn't someone like movies, they're fun!

[video]

[grapecape]

...like the function these journals have?

[pause to think]

Ah...I see how it could be used to record performances. I assume these different things you refer to are variations on the medium?

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

Oh, if only this were a Nicholas Cage film, kid. Life would be so much simpler!

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

[Oh dear Merlin how the fuck do you know about that. There's a moment of flailing, followed by a growl.]

Who the hell told you of such things?

[video]

[so_shik]

[Forgive her if she sounds amused, John.] Have you ever actually seen a real angel before?

[arcinvent]

[He laughs a little. Funny kid.]

You aren't in any picture flick kid. This is the real deal.

[voice]

[hisapprentice]

You're making a movie?

[dangerouswind]

Terrible, huh? That's not really a thing where I'm from.

[abstruse]

Now, in my own defence, I hadn't intended for that in the first place.. but I suppose I could have resisted it.

Vials or not, if it's exciting you want, Luceti has a tendency to be very exciting; though maybe not particularly film worthy.

[dragoneer]

It's not a movie. [Which. Hiccup only knows vaguely what that means. But. He's still pretty sure this isn't one.]

...who's Nicolas Cage?

[greenghost]

Waitwait, don't tell me. You're from some ninja village named Konoha or something similar.

[He mispronounced that name terribly btw.]

[video]

[greenghost]

J. K. Rowling.

[He has the most ridiculous smug smile on his face right now.]

[greenghost]

[He mostly picks up on one word in all that.]

Luceti?

[video]

[greenghost]

Well technically angels aren't real, but angels in movies and TV shows are always human-shaped folks with huge wings.

[ video ]

[greenghost]

[He makes a face, but acts like he didn't hear her muttering.]

Movies are pretty fun, yeah. Especially if they're good movies. What kind of movies do you like?

[video]

[greenghost]

Uh, sort of...

[He moves away from the journal a little and mutters.] Wow, this guy must have lived under one hell of a rock. Maybe that explains the horn.

Sort of, I guess? They're usually recorded and then mass-produced for the enjoyment of the public.

[voice]

[greenghost]

Are you kidding? Life isn't simple in Nic Cage films. Sure, he always winds up on top in the end, but have you seen Con Air?

[greenghost]

Yeah it's the "this" part that I'm continually missing the meaning of, I guess.

[voice]

[greenghost]

Well apparently. I mean that's the most logical explanation for these weird wings and waking up in a weird forest to me, at least.

[Nevermind the fact that he's pretty sure the Medium has something to do with it, but he's not really gonna try explaining SBURB to a talking book.]

[greenghost]

I'm sort of torn between relief and disappointment on that front.

[Tsks.] Gosh, what is it with the people in this book?? Nicolas Cage is the best actor of all time, End of Story.
