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. :>]]

Oh man, this place is officially not as Suck as you think it is. Jedis, and Lupin III.

Hell. Fucking. Yes.

[greenghost]

Well I've met one, now. So I'm getting there.

I'm John.

[so_shik]

Probably because there's a lot of us really weirdly encouraging people outside of the book and living in the village. We're all kind of real, you know.

[Voice]

[greenghost]

Hey, I made no claims that I was gonna make it awesome. Just that it was gonna suck.

[Voice]

[greenghost]

Ahaha, not intentionally. Movie, I guess, but I guess it's just some weird talking book.

[greenghost]

Wow, nerd is so nineties, dude.

[Video]

[greenghost]

Oh, weird.

Has everybody got stupid little wings?

[greenghost]

Oh now that's just sad. I'm going to have to educate so many deprived people in this place.

If by "new" you mean I'm shoeless and shirtless in a forest with no idea why or how, yes. Very new.

[dragoneer]

Err...right. I'm sure they'll be, oh, plenty of time to educate later, but--considering the newness, you're prooobably, uh. A little more worried about how you wound up in some crazy weird place with wings, right? [This is usually the part where people are totally freaking out.]

[video]

[greenghost]

It's a video. Like how you can see me now on your book? Or I assume you can since I can see you.

[He waves.]

Like that, but recorded so you can watch it over and over again whenever you feel like it.

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

It can't be that cool if it's centered around that prat.

[greenghost]

Sort of? I mean when you play video games that destroy the earth and let your friends move things around in your house and put bathtubs in your hallways and all kinds of other stuff, things start to phase you a lot less.

[video]

[greenghost]

Well I guess that makes the talking book thing a lot less creepy.

[greenghost]

"Sources", eh?

Well I guess that sounds like an all right name. Does everybody have wings?

[voice]

[greenghost]

...Weird.

[video]

[greenghost]

Dude just 'cause he's a relatively main character doesn't mean it's not cool. You're in it too, mister slimy hotshot. You're in it a lot.

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

So I've heard. [He's had one or two people mention these books before, but he refused to believe it for ages. But if more people keep bringing it up...] Anything else I ought to know about?

[video]

[so_shik]

You haven't got the rundown on how things work here, have you?

[video]

[greenghost]

[Shrugs.]

Use less hair gel?

[video]

[greenghost]

Other than wings and move away from the mountains to get to the village, not really.

[video]

[hisdarkmark]

Funny, I haven't used any for a few years. Try again.

[video]

[so_shik]

First piece of advice I can give you? Do not lose your journal, or you'll, like, be cut off from everyone ever. It's super-important for your means of communicating with the rest of us. Any time you use the journal, everyone can see and hear everything you say and do unless you filter it. Make sense?

[video]

[greenghost]

Oh God it's the internet given physical form.

[Stares warily at the journal.]

[video]

[greenghost]

Oh, good. It looked sort of dumb. Hmmm...

Well anything else would probably be spoilers and that might break the space-time continuum or some crazy bullshit. I destroyed the earth once playing a video game, I don't want to break anything else giving Harry Potter spoilers to Draco Malfoy.

[video]

[so_shik]

It's a little less invasive than the internet, at least. But it's something like that. You can have one-on-one conversations just like IMs, or you can post and have it be like a message board where everyone can respond. [Wow she never thought of it that way.]
