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. :>]]

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?

video;

[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.

[dragoneer]

[...] ...Yeah, Iiiii'm not even sure what an actor is. But, um--I'll take your word for it? A-anyway. You're new? I'm guessing?

video;

[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.

video;

[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]

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;

[dragoneer]

[...Okay where does that even make any sense.

First off.

What is a video game.]

...A hallway seems kind of like a bad place for a bathtub.

video;

[greenghost]

I know, right??

video;

[dragoneer]

Well, sure--I mean, they're pretty big, and you'd get really wet when you tried to--never mind. Uh. Have you made your way into town yet?

video;

[greenghost]

Getting there, I think.

video;

[dragoneer]

Right. And, uh. Anyone tell you where to find clothes? A place to sleep? Food? You know...those kinds of things?

video;

[greenghost]

Clothes, yes! Place to sleep and food... Haven't gotten that far yet, ahaha.

video;

[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.

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.

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]

...Experimented on, go into battle.

[He nods a little, and scribbles this down somewhere in the margin of a page of his journal.]

Can't guarantee how good I'll be at battling things that aren't game construct imps, but I'll figure it out, I guess.

video;

[dragoneer]

Well...do you know how to use any weapons? You know, with all your...gamey knowledge? [Is that a thing?]

video;

[greenghost]

I've beaten up a bunch of ogres with a hammer and done pretty well?

video;

[dragoneer]

[...Whoa. That is heavy duty.]

Oooohkay yeah, you should probably be fine, then. I'd, uh. Keep up the hammer practice if I were you, though. You never know when you'll need it around here.

video;

[greenghost]

[Yeah, when he wasn't getting tied up and thrown around by one of them. Hahaha. Ha. Hmmm.]

Wow, noted. I'll have to see if they've got one of my hammers or my sylladex in the shop, then.

video;

[dragoneer]

...Your what? Is that like...a Pokedex?

[SO MANY DEXES, how is he supposed to keep these things straight.]

video;

[greenghost]

[Snort.]

Sort of, I guess. Except it actually holds my stuff, instead of just information about Pokemon.

video;

[dragoneer]

[But hey, he knows what Pokemon are? Cool.]

Soooo...it's kind of like a bag?

video;

[greenghost]

Only way cooler.

video;

[dragoneer]

Is it...like a computer, then?

[Augh computers HIS WEAKNESS.]
